What exactly is the reason that the lightning ram so broken? Found after killing a Teardrop Scarab on The Atlus Plateau, the move is a cloak that covers you in lightning while your character shouts like a goat. Then, it turns into a ball and then rolls around like an Elden Ring Runes unruly tumbleweed. It deals high damage, it requires just a bit of stamina and concentration, and can be repeated without stopping. Additionally the lightning ram is high priority, interrupting most attacks in PvP. This makes it dangerous to online players.
"As the backstory goes it is, the only thing I'd like to emphasize is that me as well as my friend [PP in this video] had been kinda frustrated with invaders and all the 'OP build' stuff people were employing," Tylxx said. "Typically people would attack us when we were having fun and then just shoot us with the pre-patch Erdtree Shield. It was absolutely no fun. We decided to at least give people an unforgettable experience when they invaded us, and given the response to the video I believe we've succeeded."
Tylxx's short clip might be an extremely popular instances for an Elden Ring player winning the victory, but it not the sole one out there. A lot of players are using the lightning ram to great effect and killing bosses that are tough like Malenia, Blade of Miquella and even destroying a significant amount of players online.
To be honest, I enjoy and hate this. It's fun to watch people choose to roll to win rather than engaging in a respectful, head-to-head fights. But while I can laugh at the sight of a poor sap completely bludgeoned by balled up buy Elden Ring Runes players, being on the receiving end of this certainly sucks. But, according to reports, the person Tylxx destroyed in the video found the ass-whooping hilarious. Maybe it's more fun than it looks.
