Golden Great Shield
Additionally, we’re using the golden great shield, it doesn’t really matter particularly which great shield you use as long as it has decent guard boost so that you don’t consume a lot of Elden Ring Items stamina when blocking. Anytime you’re doing a block counter based build, you want to try and use a great shield if possible, it’s easier to do because enemies typically rebuff off your great shield, it interrupts their combos a lot of time and gives you a bigger opening to get that counter off after you block, that you know medium shields just don’t give you. You can still make a block counter with medium shields but it’s going to be harder to time those attacks, and if you are using like a longer wind-up weapon like a colossal weapon or something like that, it will be even harder to do without using a great shield. So you definitely want to have a great shield if you can when doing a block counter build and this allows us to block counter very effectively and one really good thing about whips as well, they have a very long block counter range so you almost always connect on that block counter no matter whether the enemy pushed you back a bit or not.
Best Ash of War for The Whips Build
One of the downsides of whips in Elden Ring is that they don’t have a very good variety of ashes of war, so if you’re using one of the whips that can be infused with the ash of war, there aren’t too many good ones to pick from. There are some decent ones like flames of the red main and thunderbolt, but besides those, there are really not a lot of other good options besides maybe royal knights resolve and determination.
Best Armors for The150 Level Flame Dancer Whips Build
The armor you want to use for this build isn’t super important, but having armor with high poise will allow you to get block counters off more effectively to hit enemies with charged R2S and regular R1 without being interrupted. And most importantly, use flame dance without getting interrupted. Again enemies tend to flinch when they get hit with this, so if you can get it off that like first hit, you tend to be good but sometimes because the flame dance of the weapon has a long wind up, you get hit right in the middle of that. But this will allow you to prevent being flinched if you have high poised armor and that way you’ll continue to do the whip attacks hopefully from that point continuing to buy Elden Ring Items make the enemy flinch over and over, and then you’re fine.
