Elden Ring 1.05 update that was released on June 13th, 2022, focused on Quality-of-Life changes and overall game stability by fixing many bugs and issues. However, we had many in the Elden Ring community who exploited the existing bugs to become overpowered in the game – but everything changed with the latest patch. Even the most sought-after Ashes of War, Seppuku, went through changes and in the wake of that, we have players who want to know, was Seppuku Ashes of War nerfed in Elden Ring?

Indeed, the Seppuku Ashes of War got nerfed, or you can even say fixed, with the Elden Ring 1.05 update – in a sense, the skill previously had a bug that allowed players to draw an increased attack power. But FromSoftware patched the bug and fixed the issue that caused the “increase in attack power of the “Seppuku” skill to be higher than expected for some attack motions.”

There’s another fix that the Seppuku Ashes of War received with the Elden Ring 1.05 update. The devs fixed the bug that caused “damage to allies when using the “Seppuku” skill under certain circumstances.”

When we talk about nerfs and fixes, the Elden Ring community is always divided into three parts:

  • We have players who don’t like the fixes as they are like nerfs to them as they can no longer make use of bugs to do Speed runs, make content or other similar things. 
  • On the other half, we have players who like the fixes as they make the game more balanced. 
  • The third category of players includes the people who really don’t care about fixes, nerfs, or buffs as they are simply there to enjoy the game and its phenomenal world and story.
