If you only try one of Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree's new weapons, make it Dryleaf Arts

Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree's armoury is vast, doling out a slew of exotic weapons with every trip into the unknown. Gloves that spit out daggers, perfume bottles that set enemies on fire, shields designed for murder, and so many massive swords—in my playthrough, though, they've all been playing second fiddle to a fighting style that eschews weapons entirely. 

Dryleaf Arts falls under the fist weapons category, but it's actually a fighting technique rather than a new piece of gear.
