(Elden Ring)Black Steel Greathammer is incredible. - eviltoast

It’s not a Collosal Weapon. But it hits like one. I put Lions Claw on it with Heavy Affinity and it just flattens everything. Just like the Giants Crusher. But a lot faster. Massive poise damage. I love it.

    I read the weapon description saying something about holy amplifying the power so I started experimenting a bit with it. I landed on using sacred blade to continuously apply extra holy with the special move instead of using grease. It absolutely destroys undead stuff. There may be a better choice too, since I’m running a fresh character I’m missing some ashes, but anything that gives it the extra grease aura should rock.

      So here’s what I just did. I kept sacred blade after testing the other sacred ashes of war. Then I changed my build to be a quality build and the weapon to be quality but sacred blade ash of war. Now I have more base dps and can use greases but also I can pump up the dps with sacred blade L2 when I need it. Also I can swap to flame skewer when I need it to keep just about the same dps. This is why I love this twinblade. Good moveset and it works with so many good ashes.

      I tried crucible wings too and that was fun but seems a bit niche.

        Sounds like a solid plan. Really I keep messing with most of the new weapons I find, so now I just whip this back out whenever I encounter a bunch of undead.

        Wings were a little disappointing actually. Every once in awhile I would get some good hits with it, but half the time I would just fly right past the enemy and it was useless then.
