Thingfishy | How To Be A Posture Breaking MONSTER | Strength Build Guide | Still Works On 1.08! | Elden Ring @ThingfishyGaming | Uploaded December 2022 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
Still works in Patch 1.08! See the pinned comment for details!
Cragblade has been one of the most requested AoW’s for me to try out. After making this guide, I can see why! The posture damage it inflicts easily makes it one of the most powerful Ashes of War in the game! Pair it with a pure strength build for a festival of boss cheeses and bullying!
This is my 12th video in a series of Elden Ring build guides, aimed at helping players explore new builds with step by step walkthroughs.
For all the set up at the start, with a full play-along guide, check out this video: youtu.be/lxfZdm6PO0I
This video by Illusory Wall is an incredible resource for poise damage information: youtu.be/sMe35LdlD4Q

Cragblade Posture Damage figures for Great Stars:
As standard, this weapon deals 49.5 points of posture damage on a 2 handed charged R2, which is only just beaten by Dragon Maw and the great club. An R1 deals 18 points. But when buffed with Cragblade. These values go to 59.4 for an R2 and 21.6 for an R1.
So theres 3 really cool things here:
First off, many of the bosses in the game like Margit, Morgott, Noble, Malenia, Beast Clergyman and Maliketh have 80 points of poise. So this weapon would stagger them in 2 charged R2’s even without crag blade. But with Cragblade, you can actually stagger these bosses in a charged R2 and an R1, which a lot faster and safer to do.
Secondly 4 R1’s take us above that threshold too, So spamming R1 is actually a viable strategy for staggers.
And thirdly, you’ll notice that two charged R2’s is very close to dealing 120 poise damage. This means that 2 R2’s and an R1 is enough to stagger the big boys like Mohg, Fire Giant and Placidusax.
