by I bring you the first Build of Elden Ring from the hand of Lokardos and I must tell you that it is a tremendous Build that is mainly oriented towards Bleeding damage , the typical Build of Dexterity and Arcane, which in my opinion is one of the most powerful combos in the game and works for both PvP and PvE.
This build will allow us to do tremendous damage and we will spam a lot of bleeding thanks to the choice of weapons (which we will also go to Dual Wield), statistics and of course the Ashes of War (I will also tell you the recommended Talismans). Let’s go point by point to be able to create this Build and in the process I explained the reason for each choice.
BUILD WEAPONS
In the right hand we will equip Rivers of Blood , a very interesting Katana since it has both physical damage and fire damage and also applies bleeding. His scaling is also not bad at all, these would be his attributes at maximum level:
- Physical Damage: 186.
- Fire Damage: 186.
- Bleeding: 78.
- Strength: e
- Dexterity: b
- Arcane 😀
As you can see, we have a very decent damage adding the physical and fire, a bleeding application that is not bad at all and some scaling that is also very good; among which should be highlighted above all Dexterity with B and Arcane with D (which will add something).
The weapon has its own Ash of War (Corpse Stacker) which is very good because we will spam a combo of very fast attacks with a long range (ideal to do it when they are shooting in PvP) that causes a lot of bleeding.
On the left we will equip an Uchigatana with the Seppuku War Ash , so it would be at maximum level:
- Physical Damage: 247.
- Bleeding: 82.
- Strength: c
- Dexterity: b
- Arcane 😀
As you can see, the physical damage is higher, but it does not do as much damage if we add the fire damage that the other one has. Anyway it’s a very good weapon too as it applies even more Bleeding and when performing the Weapon Ash ability this Bleeding will increase even more. Its scaling as you can see is similar to the previous one.
I think you can already imagine the savage bleeding and damage that we will do when we attack with both swords at the same time. By the way, since you don’t have the Rivers of Blood Katana you can shoot with double Uchigatana.
STATS OR ATTRIBUTES
These are the attributes that I recommend at level 125 (the standard for PvP), if you want to go up more levels, you can adapt it according to your taste. It is taking into account that you start as a Samurai , which is the class that we recommend the most for this build (if you chose another one, you already adapt it a bit):
- Vigor : 35 (1216 Life)
- Spirit : 20 (100 Mana)
- Stamina : 22 (111 Stamina)
- Strength : 12 (as needed to equip Rivers of Blood)
- Dexterity : 55
- Intelligence : 9 (we are not interested)
- Faith : 8 (we are not interested)
- Arcane : 38
As you can see, we will invest almost everything in Dexterity to increase our damage, Arcane also has quite a few points also for scaling (although you have already seen that they scale less with this attribute, that is why we do not put as much in comparison) and especially to improve the bleeding application.
The rest is typical, Vigor so as not to be too papery, some Mind to be able to use skills and others and also some Stamina to have more Stamina and be able to equip everything we need in this build.
ARMOR
As armor we recommend the Ronin Armor set because it is a very balanced armor in terms of weight and the defenses it provides us. Obviously we cannot opt for heavy armor and the truth is that of the medium weight this is one of the ones that most convinces us. You have many other options, the armor in the end is what is going to be least noticed in the Build, put on the one you want and you like the most as long as you can roll well with it.
TALISMANS
We recommend these Talismans for PvP :
- Great Shield Talisman with Dragon Crest: Reduces the physical damage we take.
- Filigree Carian Crest: Reduces CP consumed by skills.
- Green Turtle Talisman: Increases Stamina recovery.
- Jar Warrior Fragment: Increases the power of abilities.
For PvE the same, but we would replace the Turtle one with this one:
- Winged Sword Badge: Increases the damage of successive attacks (when making combos).
HOW TO USE THE BUILD
The idea is to use the Seppuku War Ash to imbue our Uchigatana and then proceed to action. Our Dual Wield hits will hit very hard and apply an incredible amount of Bleeding ; It is highly recommended to start the blow combo with a jump attack to further increase our damage.
In addition, we have the Rivers of Blood War Ash ability that also applies a tremendous amount of Bleeding and that gives us a very interesting combo with a long range for when it is required; either to hit multiple enemies or for those who are more elusive. Remember also, this in the face of PvP, that this attack comes in handy to spam it when the enemy is rolling.
