They should've either made it increase the number of coronas by faith like soulmass' or give it a FP/HP steal if it returns to you after hitting the enemy.

This spell is actually pretty solid if used well.

On mobile or close single-targets, lightning spear will pretty easily outclass it, and its also easier to get lightning spear, plus lightning has two further upgrades, a couple melee-dedicated versions, and a faster long range one, but none really do good with crowd control save for the endgame two slot Lightning Storm, as they best excel with the melee boost and have very small explosion radius. Way of White corona is obtainable as early as cathedral of the deep if youre brave enough to venture into ariandel at such a low level, then immediately you get to come back out to a whole area full of enemies perfect for slicing to bits with the corona. Saints or canvas talisman will do great here, its likely to be your second damage-dealing miracle if done this way, and it really holds up against lightning spear this early. The only real issue it has is dissipating on contact with any object. If it just stopped on the object, this thing would shred, and i really wish ringed city wouldve given us the stronger multi-shot version gael uses.

Elden ring really perfected this though, its just you gotta add int to your build, meaning if you wanna pure faith it you cant use em, but then ER inf/fth sucks cus it has ONE weapon (a great one, dont get me wrong, love sonaf) and no options for infusion or anything, the one int/fth buff only scales off fth anyway, its just a hassle. At least ds3 has options for int/fth, actual weapons and infusions, hybrid catalysts, etc

I still think this should have been a single throw projectile that traveled across the ground. Like a spinning disc half way in the ground,and could travel up walls, and have slight tracking like a soul arrow. Would have looked dope.

Submit

F-F-Funyun combo!!

Submit

It's damage is awful or excellent, depend of wich part of the spell gets the hits. But right at the limit of lock-on range, it lingers in midair getting 700-ish damage, wich is just a little less than wrath of the gods. Also, the feature of returning proyectile is really underrated. Imagine you're charging your ugs r2, the other dude is waiting to dodge at the right time and the disc comes out of nowhere to stun him into your big chop.

Submit

We somewhat got Gael’s version in Elden Ring, and it’s actually pretty neat.

Submit

It has returned in Elden Ring. Sadly it is still trash.

Submit

Should be named "Way of the yellow Corona" Instead

Submit

if we had gaels version of this miracle, it would be awesome.

Submit

Please wear ragged mask while using this spell.

Submit

Honestly if this miracle didn't disappear once it hits a wall or object, it could be way more useful, since it still hits any enemy it touches and returns.

Submit

This Miracle needs a miracle to do more than about 200 damage

Submit

why do so many people rag on this miracle? its a cool concept and visually it looks awesome. sure it doesnt have great damage but so does Soul stream and nobody rags on Soul stream!

Submit

good spell vs large sized targets, such as Midir or the Wyverns in arch dragon peak or the Judicators... etc. Has decent DPS while also being safe to hit those targets since getting close to them is dangerous.

Submit

This has aged beautifully!

A glow in the dark boomerang... how can I resist!

They named the virus after this spell because they both have 99% survival rates.

They named the virus after this spell because they both fail to kill 99% of people they encounter.

Dark souls but remove the O and L

Submit

A miracle which rivals chaos bed vestiges... OR I WOULD SAY THAT IF IT WORKED LIKE THE ONE GAEL USES

Submit

I annoyed one of my friends with this and lighting arrow to make them roll back into the corona. Best spell 10/10

Submit

If it hits a person a buncha beers fall on the person it hit.

Submit

It may not be good for PVP, but for slow enemies, like Father Ariandel, it a pretty good miracle .

Submit

Literally the best spell in the history of souls

Submit

A divisive miracle, to be sure, but criminally underrate. In terms of pve, the "poor damage" listed in the notes is lies. I could pull off about 800 damage per cast of this against larger bosses that were either wide enough or slow moving enough to take every hit from the stationary spinning disk. For the low low cost of FIFTEEN god damn fp, that's pretty bloody good. In terms of pvp, it certainly won't be the fight decider like your lightning spears or stakes, but the returning disk can be used to set up the most professional combos you've ever done, considering the return always homes in on where the caster CURRENTLY IS on return. I feel the way of Frisbee corona is representative of miracle builds overall. Misunderstood, not quite as hard hitting at scorceries or pyromancies, but disgustingly spammable.

Also, any duel you win with this gives you +10 badassery.

Submit

This one didn't age so well...

Submit

This is so op from needs to nerf this holy **** I dont understand why people say this miracle is bad it does pretty solid damage to mantain itself

Submit

Would've been nice if we could've gotten Gael's AoE one from his boss battle. And made useful

Submit

best miracle, Gael hit Friede with it when she was near death and it saved the fight for me

Submit

Fun fact, Via testing with a friend, WoWC is almost a guaranteed stagger if it hits. Perseverance and Iron/Stoneflesh out poise is, but in most other cases, it’s a solid opportunity to stagger a pvp opponent. Further testing needed for PvE, but the poisebreak gives it a niche use.

Submit

It summons beers

HAHAAHAHAHAHAHAH CORONA AHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHA OMG IT HAS NAME CORONA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHA

It can actually hit at least five times in total if it is set up right. It'll tick further as long as it stands still and one time for each direction but it tends to push enemys out of it's hitbox. Testet it on a Ghru Mage and managed to get five ticks (one moving forward, three while hovering and one when it came back) by hitting the almost exact middle of its hitbox and dealt around 550 dmg. Didn't test it on enemys with bigger hitboxes or bosses yet.

Submit

This can actually hit up to four times if the enemy stays inside its hitbox when it reaches it's max range. It is also usefull to stagger groups in tight spaces to set up an attack that would be interrupted otherwise. Ant it's fun to throw a second one right when the first commes back and watch'em cuting through a group from both directions. It actually is good against many weaker enemys because it can hit an infinite amount as long as it travels. It's just very bad for dealing real damage and more of a utility tool.

Submit

I have a confession to make. Someone killed me with this in PvP. He threw it, I killed him, it came back and killed me. It's actually insane.

Submit

Made a godly build around this and dorhys gnawing, rtsr,Flynn’s ring and blindfold mask for gnaw + rose of Ariandel and suns firstborn ring and mornes ring.

Submit

Use this with Twisted Wall of Light for extra meme and mind games (will get reflected).

Submit

wouldn't this be usable as a escape tool? say you toss it on someone while you run away to estus or something.

The chad way of white corona vs the virgin sunlight spear

Submit

DISTRUCTO DISK!!

Submit

It's such a meme that the best boss and maybe strongest character in the soul series uses this, the worst miracle.

Submit

It wasn't the illuminati. It wasn't China. It was the clerics, wake up sheeple

Submit

corona virus joke jeje im funny

Submit

why dosen't this inflict poison?! the media lied to me again!

Submit

I feel like this should have a charge affect where the longer you charge the more discs that appear. Kinda like how gael does it in ringed city. Maybe then this would actually be good

Submit

If they had left the damage as it was, reduced the fp cost to maybe 8 or so and then given it the casting animation of Farron Dart, it would've been an effective spell for chip damage.

Submit

This can be usefull in co-op when you fight bosses, to split the agro, some spells are used as strategy tools

Submit

this weapon has toxic damage buff recently

Submit

Just picked this up; was pleasantly surprised with how it looked, but didn't know how it'd work. I figured there must be some cool mechanic to it, such as stealing HP or FP from the target, seeing as how it comes back to you. But no. It's only function is dealing damage, and apparently very pitiful damage at that.

Submit

Whether if it's a way of white or a virus, Corona is depressing....

Submit

Imo this isn't the best spell but it's not the worst either it's casting speed isn't slow it's damn near same speed as sunlight spear and damage isn't the best but it's a cheap fb spell and isn't to bad in dealing with mobs everyone just likes to use sunlight spear and lightning stake and not branch out alot of spells are slept on especially since these day's most people run around with the same build using a straight sword and cestus and probably wearing a thrall hood

Submit

THE BEST F***ING SPELL IN THE GAME! INFECT ME CORONA-SAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Submit

i dont care if it sucks, im using it to go full gael

Submit

Proof that Miyazaki created the Corona Virus to delay Elden Ring's release

Submit

Lol

Submit

People making coronavirus jokes in this comment section have a really sick sense of humor lol

Submit

Just imagine this miracle had a "hold" function like the lightning arrow. You could hold the corona until your enemy gets closer and then never actually release it because it's f***ing garbage.

Submit

Ha ha corona joke

Submit

Someone make a Corona Virus build with pestilent mist and way of white corona

Submit

Fun fact to anyone who manages to recognize the meaning of "aureoles" (or who reads comments often): Aureoles are "circles of light or brightness surrounding something, usually to represent an object or person as holy." The little "Resonance" spots in Dark Souls / Remastered where small rings of light showing where players use miracles online (i.e. If a player uses a miracle in their world, other players connected to the same network will see a resonance marker in the area where you cast that miracle, therefor boosting the miracle power of their own). Those "Aureoles" mentioned in the lore are Resonance, meaning that canonically, any character/player who survived from DS1 to DS3 might remember the days when miracles shared power between worlds. Don't know if this should be referenced as trivia, but I thought it was neat that From remembered and referenced their own mechanic. It means that literally every living being could see the glowing circle floating in thin air out of nowhere, which makes the cut-scene from Sens Fortress to Anor Londo make more sense.

Submit

It would have been cool if you could transpose Gael's soul to get a stronger version of this spell like he uses in battle

Submit

You know what time it is.

Submit

I spent on a long time on a faith build trying to make good use of this spell because it just looks so dang cool despite its abysmal damage - and taking advantage of the physical damage combined with the fact that it repeatedly deals damage made this a godsend for the .001 instances where lightning couldn't cut it.

Submit

Turns out it does poison damage irl...

Submit

time for corona virus joke

Submit

thank you dark souls

Submit

Best spell ever

Way of white corona virus

Too bad From Software isn't tuning the game content anymore, especially after the DLC came out they just gave up balancing stuff they never used. I do wonder though, if you use this spell in low level invasions, would it work?

SL 1 Runs- Small Brain No Hit Runs- Big Brain WoWC only Runs- Super Brain

For when you wanna cosplay as Krillian and be about as useful as him too.

Submit

The game of frizbee has come a long way since then. Now, they're made of foam and plastic so they can do more damage than whatever this spell is made of

Submit

It's like disc golf without the fun. Or the winning.

Submit

There is no reason this spell should do less damage than Lightning Spear. It should do more, in my opinion, but there's certainly no reason it should do less. Not only does it do far less damage than LS, it does close to no damage at all. This is the worst spell in the game. It could have been fun, but it's useless. Never use it.

Submit

actually this miracle isn’t as bad as everyone talks about it , I found a way to use it properly , you can use it to make a diversion , you can try to desorientate your opponent by going around while the disk is used as a trap to prevent your enemy’s actions , just keep it near and use it as combo starter if you time it right , it’s like putting an automatic mine on your strategy... or even can be used as fleeing while being assisted by the disc behind you to strike your pursuer... its like deploying a temporary ally to use its little time to use it as a diversion or a back up plan.... anyway , i’m just here to say that even bad spells can be useful when you try to find a strategy about it

Way of White Corona: When Saturday's come around, and all the boys are in town

Submit

IMO, this spell should've been the Cleric's alternative to Farron Dart. Picture this, Way of White Corona is given the cast animation of Farron Dart, has its damage reduced a tad bit as compromise, focus cost reduced to 5-6, and then no longer dissipates when hitting a wall. Would it not be a valuable spell for chip damage and other utility?

Submit

Does this spell deal magic damage? I know it isn't a lightning spell, but it has to have some damage typing, right?

Submit

Actually if you manage to make it stop on the target it deals pretty good damage. At 55 faith, saint talisman +8 it deals approximately 800 white a good cast. Generally the sweet spot is at max lock on range

Submit

Only strong when santa gael uses it

Submit

I like this miracle because I can make a character from a different game and play him on Dark Souls 3. Pretty much the only ranged attack spell I use

Submit

Okay, no. "worst miracle in the game"? No. Divine pillars of***** takes that spot by the farthest margin imaginable.

Submit

"Fighting hollow by the moonlight!"

Submit

Great for sailor moon cosplay...other than that...also the description seems a reference to DS1 resonnance mechanic. Lol

Submit

'Corona' is Italian for 'Crown' y'all, not only Latin.

Submit

Pretty ok but not as good as cast light.

Submit

This spell can be used to devastating affect if used at max range. The Pontiff beasts, Old Demon King, the giants in the Cathedral can be hit for upwards of 600+damage at even lower faith tested 35 to 40 levels if the disc stops on their hitbox. Max casting speed allows multiple discs to be used on enemies that are faster moving, timing and spacing the disc to hit an npc on the back can stagger enemies like the poniff knights and allows for closing into melee range. It is a situational miracle but it was the sole reason for my low SL victory over old demon king with a dedicated faith build when you do not yet have access to high level lightning miracles. (i ran through Ashes dlc at sl 35 just to grab this miracle and test it, I have found that on large stationary targets this spell is bordeline broken, with the Old demon kings flame ability or meteor call active, you can place mulitple discs on him for easily 1200 to 1800 damage before he reacts and the range to throw the disc optimally is just outside his max range hammer slam.

Hey it’s Krillin’s Kienzan!

Best spell in the game!

The clerics accidentally lost their frisbee. We're just the ones that happened to find it again and decided to use it as a weapon for some reason.

Submit

Guys, this spell does indeed suck, but the one situation in which it is indeed useful is when fighting against Midir. Giant ass hit box = WoWC hits 4-5 times. Took him down easily in NG +7. But yeah otherwise fuck this spell.

Submit

pretty cool spell when used by slav knight

Submit

Can also make use of it before you engage opponent, will sometimes stagger on return path if you close the gap yourself

Submit

Not so much for damage but potential to set yourself up for combos. You can catch the opponent by suprise on the discs way back and stagger them and go in for attack. If the opponent is far away it does well for spacing. If he is pressuring you and is close ish to you you have a better chance to hit him on the way back. Or if he is in an attack animation. I have to practise this more but i think it might have potential. Since often people just dodge your other miracles you can catch them off guard. It also has low fp cost and fairly fast casting speed

Submit

I have an interesting concept, it staggers the enemy on the return path. If you are a lothric spear user or weopon has range you can take advantage of this. I guess its all timing. Other than that ita good for spacing opponeng

Submit

it was lost because nobody wanted to use it
