Elden Ring is a game all about avoiding insane damage from enemies and the Raptor of the Mists Ash of War will help you do just that!
Right from the beginning of your adventure through the Lands Between, you’ll want to avoid even the most basic enemy’s attacks. However, later in your playthrough, a single hit from an opponent could be enough to end your life instantly.
That’s why dodging is the name of the game, particularly for classes that don’t use shields. It’s all well and good to roll around your opponents like Sonic the Hedgehog but why not avoid all damage with a stylish Ash of War?

Raptor of the Mists is one of the best Ashes of War in Elden Ring, helping players avoid all damage and counterattack with ease. However, whether or not it’s as good as this overpowered boss fight Ash of War remains to be seen.
