The video provides a comprehensive ranking and review of the top 15 Arcane weapons in a game's Player vs Environment (PVE) mode, from S+ tier to C tier. It begins by discussing lower-tier weapons like the Flower Stone Gavel, Poison Hand, and Blood Fiends Fork, noting their unique effects and limitations. It then moves to mid-tier weapons such as the Crazy Blood Fiend's Arm spear, Ruvia dagger, Regalia of Eade, and Rivers of Blood, explaining their strengths, weaknesses, and situational effectiveness.

Higher-tier weapons like Mor Go's Cursed Sword, the Ancient Meteoric Great Sword, Eleanor's P Blade, and the Bloody Helis are praised for their versatility, quick attacks, and unique combat strategies, despite some having awkward combo flows or lower raw damage. The video continues with a discussion of top-tier weapons, highlighting their strong bleed buildup, stagger value, and effectiveness in boss encounters. These include the Blood Fiend’s Arm, Mariah’s Executioner Sword, and Mogwin’s Sacred Spear, despite some nerfs to their abilities.

Finally, the importance of heavy buffing play styles is emphasized, particularly for weapons with high damage but vulnerability due to interruptibility, and the effectiveness of setups involving Bandit and Scavengers curved swords with bleed setups is highlighted. The video concludes with an invitation for viewer feedback on the rankings and expressions of appreciation for viewer support.

In this segment of the video, the host introduces the top 15 Arcane weapons from the game, including choices from the DLC, ranked from S+ tier to C tier. The focus is on a PVE (Player vs Environment) list.

The host starts with the C tier, discussing the Flower Stone Gavel, a hammer weapon with strong lightning bolt attacks from its ash of war, despite having some synergy issues with standard lightning builds. Next, they cover the Poison Hand, which can apply poison directly with its unique Ash of War or be used in the offhand to provide an AR boost when poison procs. Finally, the Blood Fiends Fork is highlighted as a spear with natural bleed and Arcane scaling, which can also be infused and buffed, positioning it as a direct competitor to other top-tier dex weapons.

In this part of the video, various weapons and their effectiveness in gameplay are discussed. The alternative spear version of the Crazy Blood Fiend’s arm is highlighted for its exceptional bleed build-up and respectable damage, especially when fully committed to Arcane and a cult setup. However, its slower move set and the self-harm required for buffs limit its effectiveness, placing it in B tier. The Ruvia dagger is noted for its quick-standing light combos and great bleed build-up, but its short range and lack of poise hold it back against bosses that require stagger for punishment windows, also placing it in B tier. Similarly, the Regalia of Eade is outclassed by a great sword with a similar Ash of War but retains solid potential if used in power stance. The Rivers of Blood weapon is boosted by the new Ansback armor set, which enhances blood and dynasty skills but remains in B tier due to its need for close-range engagement and long combo times.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses various weapons and their effectiveness in a game, focusing on their unique traits and combat strategies. They highlight Mor Go’s Cursed Sword as a great curved sword with a buffed Ash of War combo, noting its speed, stagger potential, and effective range, though it lacks raw damage. The discussion moves to the Ancient Meteoric Great Sword, emphasizing its colossal size, strength scaling, and impressive thrust from its Ash of War, which offers new opportunities in combat despite the odd Arcane scaling. Eleanor’s P Blade, a twin blade with physical, fire, and bleed buildup potential, is also covered, praised for its quick attacks and versatility, despite some awkwardness in its combo flow. Finally, the segment hints at the Bloody Helis, noting its resilience and heavy thrusting capability.

00:09:00

In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses various weapons and their effectiveness in a game. They compare a specific weapon to the Morgot sword, highlighting its strong bleed buildup, stagger value, and effectiveness in boss killing due to its thrusting counterattack playstyle. The segment then moves on to the Blood Fiend’s Arm, a colossal weapon noted for its heavy bleed buildup despite a slight nerf. It’s highly effective in staggering bosses and can be run with minimal strength while maximizing Arcane. The Mariah’s Executioner Sword is also covered, praised for its strong DPS, stagger potential, and effectiveness in boss encounters despite the ash of war requiring the user to hold their position. Finally, Mogwin’s Sacred Spear is mentioned, noting a nerf in its blood moon ritual leading up to the DLC.

00:12:00

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses the importance of adopting a heavy buffing play style to maximize the potential of a particular weapon, the Ash of War, which can deliver significant damage but leaves the user vulnerable due to interruptibility. The speaker notes the advantages of the weapon’s large area-of-effect (AOE) range, which makes it feasible to land at least the first two hits of the combo. They then highlight another powerful setup involving the Bandit and Scavengers curved swords with a bleed setup, which is currently one of the strongest in the game despite various changes. The setup requires high Arcane stats and involves using the Sepu buff and spamming jump attacks for effective combat. The speaker concludes by inviting feedback on their Arcane rankings and expressing appreciation for the viewers’ support.
