Elden Ring Blood Tax Guide, Notes & Tips
- This is an Ash of War Skill, associated with the Ash of War: Blood Tax.
- FP Cost: 14 on use.
- Deals 16 stance damage
- This Skill is not Chargeable
- All 4 separate thrusts can be Parried
- Upon activation, the user prepares their armament while performing a spin, before unleashing a quick flurry of thrusts in front of them.
- Deals 88+44+44+110 MV (Motion Value) of damage for the 4 hits of the combo respectively.
- Applies 100+50+50+100 status effect MV (Motion Value) for the 4 hits of the combo respectively, averaging out to 75% of normal status effect buildup compared to 4 normal light attacks, though at a much faster rate when used on heavier and slower weapons.
- Restores 2% + 25 on the first 3 hits and 4% + 45 HP on the final hit for a total of 10% + 120 HP.
- This weapon skill does not innately have any status buildup, but will apply respective buildup per hit if the weapon has it (either through weapon buffs, or innately).
- Because of the possible stagger on light enemies pushing them backwards, it's suggested to perform the skill as closest to the enemy as possible to make all hits count.
