MMOEXP : Elden Ring Players Are Killing Online Victims

Elden Ring, like most Souls games, typically rewards you for finding the most effective way to beat its tough bosses, whether through overpowered designs or cheap, uninspired strategies. However, when these same tactics are used against the other players, things could get ugly fast.
Carian Retaliation is an Ash of War skill that can be applied to medium and small shields, allows you to take on enemy spells and gain three daggers floating of your own which automatically target your opponent within a short time. It’s at least how it’s supposed to work.
In reality, clever Elden Ring players are using the ability to parry their own spells, whether produced naturally or with consumables such as Glintstone Scraps. This gives them a spammable attack that scales with the shield’s upgrade level , allowing it to cause a frightful amount of damage to normal mobs, bosses and fellow Tarnished alike.
The most frightening thing is that Carian Retaliation appears in a state of glitch during online play. While players are able to see their opponents using the skill and the daggers it generates but the attack that follows is completely invisible, making it difficult to dodge even knowing what you can be expecting.
A quick scan of the Elden Ring subreddit shows a community in turmoil, with many people soliciting Carian Retaliation to be fixed or altered by the game’s developers. As FromSoftware has removed a similar self activation technique in the latest 1.03 patch and it’s not too unreasonable to imagine that the calls will be heard in the near future.
In any case Carian Retaliation seems to be something everyone will need to handle for now. The next time you’re on the internet and spot an invading character coming towards you, with a trio or knives hovering above their head, maybe consider disguising yourself as an Elden Ring Runes buy until they get bored and go away.
