When paired with the Witching Hour Slash Ash of War, the Sword of Knight becomes a formidable tool for devastating chain attacks. Its synergy with Talismans amplifying consecutive strikes makes it a powerhouse against adversaries prone to evasive maneuvers in Elden Ring.
Core Ash of War Combo
The standard version of Witching Hour Slash initiates a triple-strike sequence. Extending this requires following with basic or charged attacks, with the latter offering superior damage through two additional hits. Combining these elements creates a five-strike assault.
Talisman Synergy
Rotten Winged Sword Insignia and Millicent’s Prosthesis significantly enhance continuous assault potential. These items progressively amplify strike damage during extended engagements.
Advanced Engagement Tactics
Initiating combat with a crouching dual-wield strike enables seamless transition into the Ash of War sequence. Proper timing creates an inescapable seven-hit chain when combining initial attacks, Ash of War strikes, and follow-up heavy blows.
Damage Optimization
Shard of Alexander boosts Ash of War effectiveness, while Rotten Winged Sword Insignia escalates consecutive hit damage. While Millicent’s Prosthesis offers additional enhancement, Bull-Goat’s Talisman provides crucial interrupt resistance during lengthy combos.
Tactical Considerations
This strategy shines against single opponents in PvP scenarios, particularly those relying on panic evasion. Mastery of timing transforms this sequence into a reliable elimination tool.
Stat Allocation
Focus exclusively on Dexterity attributes to maximize the Sword of Knight’s capabilities. This streamlined approach ensures optimal performance without stat dilution.
Unique Capabilities
The weapon’s shield-penetrating property ensures offensive pressure against defensive opponents. This characteristic complements its combo potential, creating versatile combat applications.
