The Ash-of-War Scarab is a helmet in Elden Ring capable of reducing the FP cost of weapon arts and skills by 15% at the cost of decreased damage negation. Tarnished builds that are heavily reliant on spamming skills, such as Corpse Piler or Hoarfrost Stomp, will find great use with this helmet. Furthermore, the Ash-of-War Scarab's passive buff can be stacked with the Carian Filigreed Crest. This gear combination increases the FP reduction cost of skills to a total of 35%.
Nevertheless, the primary downside of the Ash-of-War Scarab is that it must be used during combat, unlike the Crimson or Cerulean Tear Scarabs, which apply their passives indefinitely. Therefore, Tarnished are recommended to have a general understanding of any enemy or boss before donning the silver bug helm and potentially risk receiving more damage. On the other hand, the Ash-of-War Scarab's unique design can match moderately well, replacing the headpiece for armor sets with silver or golden shades. Such attire includes the Fingerprint Set, Blackflame Monk Set, Malformed Dragon Set, or even Black Knife Set.
