![]() Even if that function isn’t terribly appealing to us. We elected not to include an F tier because nearly all Ashes of War in the game seem at the very least functional. D – Not generally recommended: either because the benefits are too niche to matter regularly, or because other skills do the same thing but better.C – Not generally recommended, but either situationally useful or broadly effective with setup.B – Good in a wide variety of situations.As such, we’ve categorized most Ashes of War between S and D ranks, to acknowledge that pretty much anything can work. Yet accounting for every single, possible scenario in the game is not the intent behind this or any other tier list. And players should be proud of their ability to have fun and make X, Y, Z work well with a particular build. Most skills work well with setup, prep, practice, and/or patience. Often if you “just use Bloodflame Blade first,” or “summon Mimic Tear afterwards,” or “hit the enemy during an opening.” You’re sure to find some player out there who swears one unpopular skill or another works for them. Weapon skills trend toward “overwhelmingly powerful” more than “completely useless.” There just aren’t very many genuine duds in the bunch. You don’t always need a custom Ash of War to make something work.) What Do the Rankings Mean?Įlden Ring players are pretty lucky. Icerind Hatchet and Bloodhound Claws are also excellent, since they include some great Ashes of War by default. Sword of Night and Flame and Moonveil are still great, even after being nerfed. Since these are completely locked into particular stats and movesets, however, they can’t be totally compared to swappable Ashes of War one-to-one. Some abilities (even a few very good ones) are tied to particular weapons. This list does not include every skill found in the game. These can be applied to a variety of “normal” weapons throughout the game - usually limited to a certain weapon category or categories. SĮlden Ring includes unique in-game items called Ashes of War. Though FromSoft does sometimes deploy undocumented “shadow buffs/nerfs” that change things without being mentioned in the patch notes. Most (though not all) of the actual Ashes of War appear to be unaffected. Many of the weapon skill changes, in fact, seem to specifically target unique and/or boss weapons - like the Dark Moon Greatsword. ![]() The only documented nerf to a weapon skill is a damage reduction on Thundercloud Form, which is a skill exclusive to the Dragon King’s Cragblade and thus not actually an Ash of War at all. Please be aware that the update almost entirely consists of buffs, however. You can read the full patch notes here while we continue testing the changes and updating our rankings. UPDATE 1.04: Elden Ring just released another huge balance patch in the form of Update 1.04. The changes were also addressed in our Sorceries tier list, Spirit Ashes tier list, and Incantations tier list, respectively. You can read the official patch notes here. ![]() Rankings and notes have been slightly adjusted to reflect these changes, but most of the documented changes affected Sorceries. UPDATE 1.03: FromSoftware went and surprise launched a major balance update: Patch 1.03 for Elden Ring. With that out of the way, here’s the current Ashes of War tier list in its simplest form. If that’s you, skip this for now and come back later! Though we suspect you already know what you’re in for if you’ve read this far. Some players might not even want a hint of a whiff of what new powers await them. This is a game all about exploration and discovery. NOTE: Reading past this point will lead to MINOR SPOILERS for Elden Ring. Once you take a look, you can read below the table to find a more detailed description of our process in creating this tier list. The simple table includes all known Ashes of War in the game so far. The current end result is what you see below. Or at least what to set their sights on first when customizing their Elden Ring arsenal. The hope is that, by pitting them all against each other, we can give players an at-a-glance idea of what to use and why. Ranking every one of these abilities in one place is daunting task as a result, but we’ve attempted to do just that with our Ashes of War tier list. Elden Ring Ashes of War are exceptionally potent skills that completely change the way you play the game.
