We help you develop a character capable of facing all dangers. Decide what type of build you like and what attributes you should upgrade.
Elden Ring allows you to fight with blows or from a distance. With swords, axes or wizard staffs. You have many options, but it is convenient to know the details to aspire to be a very powerful fighter. In this part of our guide we advise you on the best builds, recommended attributes and weapons with which to be even stronger.
Melee Build (Brute Force)
A classic. It doesn’t matter if you play Dark Souls, Bloodborne or Elden Ring; If you don’t want to get too complicated and have a guaranteed build to fight against any enemy, don’t hesitate to bet on something simple, but very powerful thanks to brute force. A combination of stamina, stamina, and strength is more than enough to deal fearsome blows with any weapon that scales hard.
The “tank” of a lifetime, come on. Medium or heavy armor thanks to stamina, a good amount of health and a shield accompanying weapons such as the Halberd, any axe, the Flail or the like (there are many valid options). Also, remember that most weapons scale with Dexterity as well, so once you reach around level 60 in Strength, spend some points on Dexterity . And if you want to feel like in Dark Souls and remember good times, in Castle Morne (Plains of Weeping) you have a beautiful Claymore ideal for this build.
Blood build (bleed damage)
It is a very special one that has become the favorite of many players. Bleed damage wreaks havoc on enemies ; it is enough to check it with a weapon that has said passive effect. The point is that you can make the most of it with a build focused on it. To achieve this, your goal is to have a powerful weapon such as the Hound Fang (one of the best dexterity weapons) , the Lunar Veil Katana and even a classic Uchigatana is enough. These swords generate bleeding quickly.
As for the distribution of attributes, without counting the basics such as increasing vigor or stamina to be able to equip yourself well, the key is to increase dexterity , which is the star attribute for any sword that causes bleeding. And when you have about 60 points, spend what you have left to raise arcane to further boost the bleed damage.
Build for mages
If what you want is to be a powerful sorcerer, the intelligence and mind attributes are your best allies . The former determines the power of your spells , while the latter increases your CP gauge, essential for casting spells and performing other actions such as summoning spirits. In the following link you have more details to be a powerful sorcerer. In addition, our advice is that you take advantage of the Meteorite Staff , one of the best in the game and the favorite of almost all magicians (how to get it).
Apart from intelligence and mind, the rest depends on your style of play; you can choose to increase the stamina if you need a medium or heavy armor to resist hits, and in case you prefer to go lightly dressed to roll and always attack from a distance, then invest the points that you have left in Arcane , and even power even more intelligence. Don’t forget to equip talismans that increase your magical power.
Build for archers
Bows are a great option for ranged attacks and pair well with other melee weapons for a simple reason: they all need to increase dexterity and strength ( dexterity for light and normal, strength for large bows ). The Longbow is a basic and highly recommended option, since it is part of the Samurai class, and you can also buy it from the Twins at the Round Table for just over 1,000 runes.
The most interesting thing about playing with a bow is that as you progress through the game you can find, make or buy arrows of many types, something that allows you to take advantage of any enemy’s weaknesses by attacking them with cold, fire, lightning or poison effects, among many others. . Also, remember that you can quickly use your bow while on horseback , a great tactic for keeping your distance and quickly getting out of the area if you find yourself in a tight spot.
Renacer to reset the build
If you make a mistake when leveling up or you are not satisfied with the results obtained, or you simply want to try something different, in Elden Ring it is possible to undo any change . You can do it thanks to the services of Rennala, Queen of the Full Moon. In this link we tell you everything you need to know.
