If you have all these at the nearest site of rest and then select the Ashes of War option. This opens the menu for applying new skills to your weapons.
For information, let us tell you that here you have to select the weapon on which you want to apply the skill. The next step is to choose the Ash of War you want on the weapon. Each ash has an affinity, which increases a certain stat affinity of the weapon. Increases the strength affinity of a heavy weapon. This means that if you have a high powered stat you will get more bonus damage from applying that ashes. The second thing to consider is skill. Choose the one you like best and that can be mounted on exactly the armament you want to use. Confirm your choice and that's it. When you apply the ashes of war to a weapon, it replaces the current. If you apply for a new one, the old one is returned to your list.
To use your newly equipped ash of war put the weapon in two hand mode and then press L2 on the controller. To use the shield’s ash of war skill you don’t have to use it in two hands. Just press L2. Great for parries.
Elden Ring Adding Weapon Affinities
If you want to know how to use ashes of war in Elden Ring you need to know about weapon affinities. When you get a weapon it has an affinity towards some stat. This is seen in the weapon details screen in your inventory. Letters from F to A show affinity for that stat from lowest to highest. The more points you have in the particular stat the more damage your weapon does the higher its affinity for that stat is. Ashes of War can manipulate these affinities. Want a dagger to scale its damage with strength? Put on Ash of War with Heavy affinity on it. This provides unprecedented weapon customization for Dark Souls games.
The similarities are Heavy (Strength), Eager (Deficiency), Quality (Strength and Dexterity), Sacred (faith combines scaling and sacred damage) and so on. Applying one affinity reduces the other numerical affinity. When you get the Iron Wetblade item, you can use Ashes of War and choose one of 4 similarities at will. The Iron Wetblade is found in Stormville Castle near the Spider Mini Boss, which is beneath Grace's Rampart Tower site. This small statue to the left of the room with the spider is in the white mist barrier room.
