Elden Ring Wild Strikes Guide, Notes & Tips

• This is an Ash of War Skill, associated with the Ash of War: Wild Strikes.
• FP Cost: 2 (10 15)
• This Skill is not Chargeable
• This Skill can be Parried
• Upon activation, the user swings around their armament (weapon) to the front with wide overhead strikes.
  • This consumes the stated 2 FP.
  • Deals 5-6.5 stance dmg per swing depending on weapon type
  • The player must hold the skill button to keep swinging. Maintaining this keeps consuming FP.
  • Stamina consumption depends of the armament, but remains low overall.
  • This skill resets most of the Poise the player has when used, allowing them to refresh it quickly.
  • The swings do not receive status buildup penalty when hitting an enemy. Can be used for quick buildup on opening windows.
• Pressing Light Attack during the swinging animation will cause the user to transition into a wide sweeping strike to the front.
  • This can be aimed in any direction
  • This consumes the stated 10 FP.
  • The final blow deals 20-28 Stance damage
• Pressing Heavy Attack during the swinging animation will cause the user to transition into a heavy overhead blow
  • This consumes the stated 15 FP.
  • The final blow deals 30-42 Stance damage

• Stance damage for each part of the Skill is as follows:
