But, it auto-hones in on targets and lasts for a good minute or two, dealing a large amount of Stance Damage along the way.īetter for straight damage on large enemies than Stance Damage, but because there are so many threads, it still does good Stance Damage as well. The Horn Aspect, in particular, can be obtained very early on.Īny of the "Phalanx" Ashes of War or Sorceries are great for Passive Stance Damage and even Multiplayer as well, since they're summoned and then attack enemies on their own.Ī big magic hammer that does great Stance Damage, but has to be used pretty close as well.ĭeceptively bad, as the damage from this Incantation is just awful. All three deal Physical Damage and a large amount of Stance Break damage, but have high costs and long animations in exchange. Refers to all the Aspect of the Crucible Incantations, with the rankings from best to worst being Tail, Horn, Breath. The only reason this doesn't beat out Beastial Sling is because it has a longer casting animation, slower travel time, and is a bit more FP costly.

This is because the Ashes of War system allows players to equip "Heavy" affinity to their Weapons that increase the Strength Scaling by about an entire letter grade (Ex: from B to A).īy far the most reliable Stance Breaking Incantation with its fast cast-time, low FP cost, and great damage.
