Floating Chaos | Dark Souls 3 Wiki

Larger enemies can walk into and take additional damage, this and snake is goofy effective STILL.

Submit

marginally more damage than a flame orb at a slower casting speed and a higher fp cost. granted, it's solid for pvp, but pvp is a thing of the past for now. this spell is largely useless in pve, just use flame orb or black flame orb, or, if you're willing to sacrifice 2 slots and more fp in exchange for some amazing damage, chaos bed vestiges or great chaos fire orb.

If my memory serves me correct, npc invaders dont even try to dodge these. If this is the case, then this may trivialize npc invaders!

Submit

This spell would be awesome!…




…if it didn’t die of a heart attack after 3 bullets.

Pew pew

Anyone else think this is such a waste? I mean I wasn't expecting it to last forever like the one those guys in the demon ruins use, but it last for two seconds and is pathetic.

Submit

O, thanks for the link

Low poise players get staggered easily. Headshots have better staggering tendency.

Submit

use bow glitch to cancel farron hail into this for chaos machine gun.

Anyone knows if this can be stacked with affinity? Will be very nasty ñ_ñ

Doesn't seem to work with lingering dragon ring.

It is worth noting that this Pyromancies orbs is still shooting towards Friedes Invisiblity, and also interrupting her during each melee attack she makes in phase 1, completly rendering her useless.

Submit

Died at the same time as the invader. Did not get the reward Floating Chaos. Truly sucks.

Submit

This, toxic mist and seething chaos are great for trolling people when you invade them. Total area control and all are good free cast spells.

Submit

If you use it against a wall it still casts the fireballs even thougg you cant see the orb

Submit

Warmth + This = Epic.

Submit

Needs better duration and casting time to be effective in PVP.

Submit

Tested against the Giant Crabs in Farron Keep
If an enemy passes through the orb once it leaves your fingers, it takes damage comparable to each of the three fireballs it spits out, can be used effectively to hit the crabs four times if you time the cast with their approach and back away. Pretty cool!

Ladders won't save you this time! MOTHER*****ER!

I'm liking this alot for pyro pvp. If you can find a window to get it off without being interrupted it does one of two things.

1. It forces the opponent to roll away to not get hit, which gives you enough space to drink a mana estus or possibly, with some luck, catch them with a chaos orb if you're good at free aiming.

2. If the opponent decides to go aggressive on you it opens up an opportunity to punish. Floating Chaos + Fire Surge combo followed by roll catching if they start panicking is actually pretty effective. I've sometimes been able to dmg about 50% of opponents hp with this combo. It's even more deadly if they get staggered by Floating Chaos and you're able to follow it up with a Black Flame.

However, this pyromancy fits a slightly more passive playstyle, keeping your opponent on their toes. If you like to be more aggressive, like with Onyx Blade+Black Serpent for example, I would not pick Floating Chaos.

Submit

Oh if only this had the tracking and duration of the version those machete guys use in Smouldering Lake

Submit

i wish the orb would stay up for more than 3 hits but it still looks cool

Submit

As a intFth 40/40 Pyro I spammed Floating Chaos without one swing of my sword through all 3 phases of Sister Friede Boss fight and kept NPC GAEL alive to the end. Used 2 Estus and 5 Ashen Estus. Didn't use any other pyromancy.

Submit

this spell seems to do heavy poise damage - tested on the lord of cinder, shooting 3 of them causes him to stun.
tested out with other pyromancys and at the same damage thresholds he would not stun

Submit

I actually like this spell quite a bit. Pretty much always gets an attunement slot for itself due to how useful it really is for setting up other pyromancy and further aggression.
Of course it won't be useful if you just cast it and expect results without doing anything else, that's you using it wrong especially in a PvP situation.
One way I've used the spell against lone hosts in invasions/duels is casting two in a row at slightly different angles at a quick succession, rushing closer to cast Black Serpent since if they stop to attack me on approach they get hit by a Floating Chaos shot. Throwing a Chaos Orb or the Chaos Bed after the target as they are dodging or stunned by a hit gives birth for a pretty nice combo.
Then there's when people actually try and chase after you as you're casting. If you get it out without interruption, roll back and if they come after you there are three chances for them to get stunned into a Great Combustion/Black Flame for massive damage from the Parting Flame.

Really encourage giving this one a SHOT... Okay that was awful but you know what? Sue me.

Submit

I don't know if there was a patch to this spell or what, either way it is useful as hell. In PVE its a monster against bosses and stationary targets. In PVP it shines to keep your opponent moving, draining their stamina and if you manage to get 3 off in a close proximity match, "decent" damage and stuns. The cast time is a problem, but only if you don't know how to use Iron Flesh or make them dodge before trying to cast it AT RANGE. Little tip, watch how Dunnel uses the spell.

Submit

Useless spell. Bad tracking, bad damage, bad casting time. I'm surprised it doesn't require 2 slots.

Submit

useless spell...

Submit

Do i need this for the Master of pyromancies trophy ? I don't have the dlc

Submit

I ask me does this spell also target other dark spirits in PVP or just the host and phantoms.

Submit

enemy casts floating chaos. rolls out of way. orb shoots in random direction. shoots 5 shots. some how they hit me when it's shooting the opposite direction. deals about 200 damage against full lorians set. FAIR AND BALANCED

Submit

All the spells in this dlc except the frost bite one sucked, the weapons were awesome though, honestly I think from just hates casters.

Submit

I haven't tested this in PvP, but some of the more taciturn bosses in the game are a joke if you just spam this spell. It's literally the cheese kill tactic for Pyromancers. Even more useful when summoned as a helper phantom. You can pile damage on bosses and direct their attention towards you, then just dodge away. I tested this solo on the Dancer and it was one of my easiest runs, and co-op'ed dancer for an even easier support kill. Was running Witch ring, Swamp Ring, and Fire Clutch. The damage per shot is poor, but it's the fact it's cheap to cast and piles damage easily that makes it worthwhile.

Submit

I cant.. All I see is a Lazy cop-out spell. This should of been in the base game.... Instead of getting some cool much needed new Dark Pyro spell(s) we get this...

Submit

You can keep up to 3 of them firing, an interesting spell in the hands of a more supportey role. Awful damage, but the pressure it can apply is cool, other than machinegunning at someone not attacking you, it's pretty bad, just because the damage is so horribly low

Submit

Doesn't matter if you've killed the bosses, he still shows up.

Submit

It looks cool, but the damage is abysmal. Per cast it shoots 3 fireballs, which does 10-20 more damage than firesurge tick.

Submit

The NPC is an invader. So you have to be ember'd to be able to face him. Also don't kill the boss of the area (Champion something) or you will miss out on this Pyromancy.

Other than that, it's pretty great for mixups. I love this!

Submit

He didn't invade me until I killed Friede. Dunno if that's a bug or what.

Submit

At 35/35 Int/Faith it attacks 3 times for around 49 damage per strike. Like any other spell it can be dodged, or blocked by the environment. Even with the ring that shortens casting time, it takes a good second to put it in the air.
Not as great as I hoped.

Submit

16/16 int and faith

Submit

the pyromancer never showed....i think its because i fought the wolf boss before i fought sister friede ?

Submit

Hes not in the arena

Submit

Where can I find it

Submit

the damage output from this thing is probably gonna be horrible, as will be the lifespan duration.. but forcing an opponent to dodgeroll every couple of seconds is gonna be annoying as hell in PVP.

Submit

If this spell work like the one of the Smoldering Ghru, how will ennemies react? Will they attack the floating chaos, or will they just ignore it?
Because if they can attack it, it means that this spell can be both a turret and a lure.. Which is pretty cool.

Submit

pretty cool

If this is just a pyromancy version of crystal hail, I'm gonna flip a table
