Technical Breakdown
The Savage Lion’s Claw incantation in Elden Ring features a unique multi-hit attack that utilizes the Lions Claw Ash of War. This ash of war is compatible with fist weapons, granting access to a fast and repeated onslaught of melee blows. The incantation also imbues the user’s fist weapons with Holy damage, adding an elemental aspect to the attack.
Input Methodology
The Savage Lion’s Claw incantation requires a specific sequence of inputs to activate its multi-hit effect. The attack is initiated by pressing the light attack button twice, followed by a heavy attack input. This combination triggers a series of rapid strikes that can stagger enemies and deal significant damage.
Performance Insights
While the Savage Lion’s Claw incantation provides high damage potential, it has a notable drawback. The multi-hit attack’s extended animation creates a window of vulnerability for the user. Additionally, the incantation’s effectiveness against heavily armored enemies is reduced due to the physical damage type of the Lions Claw Ash of War.
