Elden Ring\u2019s new Ash of War turns Tarnished into martial arts experts FromSoftware \/ Bandai NamcoAn Elden Ring player has put away all their deadly swords and magic spells in favor of some old-fashioned Kung Fu fighting to defeat the deadly bosses in Shadow of the Erdtree. Shadow of the Erdtree has added countless weapons to the already massive armory found in Elden Ring. However, as one player has perfectly demonstrated, there\u2019s only one weapon all Tarnished warriors can always rely on \u2013 their hands. The new Hand-to-hand Arts weapon category came with Shadow of the Erdtree, which stylishly lets players throw punches and kicks. As seen in the clip, players have even been able to punt enemies into a wall while in mid-air, as one poorly timed Vulgar Militaman learned the hard way. The DryLeaf Arts, acquired from defeating NPC Dryleaf Dane, ditches all weaponry for a long flurry of melee attacks. Players were instantly impressed by the showboating of this Kung Fu master\u2019s combat. \u201cHaven\u2019t played DLC yet, but that was a move right out of Sekiro,\u201d one compared Shadow of the Erdtree to FromSoftware\u2019s Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, in which Wolf uses karate as well as his katana with the \u201cHigh Monk\u201d combat skill. However, the over-the-top style of Hand-to-Hand martial arts has left some disappointed by the lack of flair in other weapons. \u201cAfter using Dryleaf and Beast claws, I just can\u2019t go back to any of the normal fist\/claw weapons. The movesets are just so boring compared to them; it just doesn\u2019t feel nearly as satisfying.\u201d Unfortunately, while the new weapon wins in the pure cool factor, it seems to be all style, no substance, as another player added: \u201cIt\u2019s so mid against bosses because of the range and poise damage, but it\u2019s so fun against regular enemies that I keep it equipped just for them.\u201d Shadow of the Erdtree is now available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. However, PC players may want to think twice about purchasing the DLC as performance issues have been plaguing the platform.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
