Yup, upgrading to the lionel armor with its massive poise lets me shrug off all kinds of shit. I still take damage, but I don't get knocked to the ground like a little bitch from most basic attacks.

Poise helps you follow through and overpower foes. I just beat alecto for example with the shield and black rider glaive/sword dance. I would just spam the art . Eating his damage at the start but getting off four combos on him because he would stay posture broken.
It also reduces stamina usage with shield block. Near cap poise i can ignore all but boss super attacks (or status or element heavy hits) on the shield till I see an opening.

Look at your detailed stats when you change sets. The difference is usually like 4-5% in damage mitigation. The poise change is the biggest difference.

Feel bad reading about everyone's experience with Fire Giant. 2 shot him without even really thinking about it. Just used Flame, Protect Me and the standard Souls strat of staying stuck to his foot. During his ground fire phase there are gaps you can stand in and still wail on him without getting hit. By the time he hit Phase 2 he only had about 1/5th of his life and I think he only rolled once during that phase and died.

I think I killed him on the third try, pretty sure cheese-rot-breath was key. After using that on Radahn, I've been using it on pretty much every boss (couldn't get it to stick on certain ones like Valiant Gargoyle), and it's been hilariously effective.

Son, I am dissappoint. Sounds like you need to do another play through without rot breath. We'll call it the git gud play through

Whatever, most of you faggots have been using dumb shit like Moonveil. We all have our dumb shit on the first playthrough!
And of course I'll be doing future plays, this game is the fucking bomb.

Combining talismans, incantations, and consumables will severely reduce incoming damage. Using all the holy damage mitigation options available to me was how I finally beat the Elden Beast. The holy attacks went from chunking 40-50% off me to maybe 10%. The difference was huge.

Getting knocked to the ground is part of my plan!
Also, I've upgraded my head to an even higher mushroom level.

Yeah... it's called learning things for yourself and challenge, instead of satnav taxi to the next "accessible" attraction.
It's a shame because original World of Warcraft was EXACTLY like Elden Ring and I'm not even exaggerating.
