Erdtree Seal

The reason to choose Katar for this build is because it"s not too far into the game, you can get it fairly early Elden Ring Items on. The move set is great, and it does pierce damage. So what this allows you to do is get counter damage when you"re trading with losses which happens quite regularly. And it allows you to use the spear talisman as well when you"re doing these trades further increasing the amount of counter damage that you deal. Another really interesting thing about this weapon as well as it has the impaling thrust Ash of War because it is a piercing weapon. It"s a very strong Ash of War, has very good stance damage, allowing you to break the stance of enemies regularly and then get in a lot of attacks while they"re laying there. But what"s unique about this is this weapon skill is not applicable to fists, you cannot go and find the impaling thrust ash of war and put it on the Katar nor any other fist weapon. So if you want a fist weapon with impaling thrust, you have to use Katar and you have to use the standard scaling of this weapon or you won"t be able to use impaling thrust.

Another great thing about impaling thrust too is that there are a lot of situations in this game where you"re locked onto a boss, you"re attacking them and you"re still whiffing your attacks because of the reach of the weapon. Impaling thrust slides you forward and gives you an opportunity to hit things that are more difficult to hit and also to deal with shielded enemies. Shield enemies can be problematic for fist weapons because you just sit there and attack another shield they block 50 to 60% of your damage and they usually counter-attack you. So it can b difficult and this is a way around that since you can just attack through their shield off and staggering them and then you can just finish them off. The Katar also has the highest critical rating of all fists at 110 which allows you to do more critical damage if you break the stance of something using impaling thrust, the follow-up is going to do more damage.

Besides this weapon, we also use the Erdtree Seal for casting our incantations and the reason for that is it"s because we had very high faith ratings, you"re going to gain the most damage buffs from the damage buffs that we use lightning armament, blood flame blade, etc, so we really want that for this build. However, if you"re playing from the beginning of the game, you won"t want this because it"s not going to perform best at lower levels of faith. The finger seal is not a bad option, there are a lot of other seals you can use as you"re leveling through the game. It’s recommended sticking with a finger seal because it"s easy and then switching best site to buy elden ring items to the Erdtree Seal when you get it.
