The Ash of War: Lion's Claw is an Ash of War in Elden Ring that grants the Heavy affinity and the Lion's Claw skill. It is found in Caelid, around the middle of a run.
Lion's Claw is a skill of the Redmanes who fought alongside General Radahn: the wielder crouches, then somersaults forward and slams the weapon down on the foe. The slam deals stance damage on par with a charged heavy attack, and the wielder is very hard to interrupt from the start of the move. It starts quickly and covers good distance. It suits Strength builds wielding swords, axes and hammers that want to break boss stance fast.

Skill
Use it to close distance and punish a boss after a long attack, then follow up with a critical hit once its stance breaks. Two to four uses break the stance of most bosses, and great hammers and colossal weapons deal the most stance damage. The slam uses the weapon's main damage type, so strike weapons stay strike weapons.
