As recovery cancels are classified as a type of animation cancel, i included all of those in this video as well. Theres a number of interesting implications that some of these have that I didnt include in this video, such as the ability to crouch cancel the recovery of different ashes of war like unsheathe, but this was done intentionally in effort to avoid overloading people with too much information.

So i figured a video covering how to deal with them with ANY weapon, rather than just specific weapon setups would be useful.

I really cant overstate how much help Viley has been with this collab. They put in just as much effort as I had, stylinging the thumbnail, adding their incredible edits to the video, and spending hours upon hours testing and experimenting with different interactions. Please go support my friend, sub to their channel and check out some of their amazing content. @Viley

#PasstheTorchThe Complete Handbook to Powerstanced Greatspears | Elden Ring PvP Weapon GuideRust_Bucket2024-02-11 | I was really hesitant to make this video because of how passionate so many people are in their hatred of meta setups, particularly PSGS. But alot of this anger and aggression is misplaced, where the basis of their opinion largely comes from projection or adopted mindsets. Dont be a sheep. Have your own opinions, and do research to make sure your opinions dont come from a place of arrogance or ignorance. Play the game how you want, use what you want, and dont gatekeep, gaslight, girlboss.
