Elden Ring, like most Souls games, usually rewards players for figuring out the most efficient way to take on Elden Ring Runes its tough bosses, be it through powerful designs or cheap, uninspired strategies.

Carian Retaliation can be described as an Ash of War skill that can be applied to medium and small shields, allows you to parry enemies' spells and get three daggers floating of your own which instantly target your enemy within a short time. It's at least how it's supposed to work.
In reality, skilled Elden Ring players are using the ability to negate their own spells, whether created naturally or using consumables such as Glintstone Scraps. This allows them to easily targeted attack that can be boosted by the shield's level of upgrade to cause a frightful amount of damage to normal mobs, bosses, and other Tarnished alike.
More alarming is that Carian Retaliation appears to be affected by online gaming. While players can observe opponents using the skill and the daggers it produces but the attack that follows is not visible, which makes it difficult to dodge even when you know what you can be expecting.
A quick lookup on the Elden Ring subreddit shows a community that is in turmoil, with many users asking for Carian Retaliation to be fixed or changed by the developers. Also, considering that FromSoftware eliminated a similar self-activation method in the game's latest 1.03 patch It's not too far-fetched to think that these calls are likely to be answered in the near future.
