Whether you’re stuck on a tough boss in PvE or want to show off your skills in PvP, you’ll need a good build in Elden Ring. While there are only 10 classes, the game’s sheer volume of weapons, armor, and charms can leave even veterans confused about what to pick. The last thing you want to do is waste your points leveling up the wrong stat, while patches and updates often weaken or even buff various weapons. The builds we’ve selected for this list have stood the test of time. So below are some of the best builds you can use to not only beat Elden Ring, but also take on your invaders with ease.

There are some basic rules to how these work. Make sure you boost your primary stats, these are important for increasing your weapon damage. Your secondary stats are good for things like Mind to let you use more FP or when using seals to apply buffs. Finally, make sure the armor you are using doesn’t let you do fat rolls, i.e. you should have Medium Load and not Heavy. Here’s why you should use these builds:
Blasphemous Blade is considered by many to be the game’s hidden easy mode, and there are many good reasons for this. For starters, the blade grants you the Taker’s Flames weapon skill. This allows you to shoot columns of fire in front of you. Not only does this weapon deal serious fire damage to enemies, it also heals you.
Even apart from its skill, it provides you with decent or above average physical and fire damage if you choose to fight melee. After a point, you should focus on leveling up your Faith as it increases your weapon skill. Later on, you can also consider learning some fire spells once you get above level 100 and beyond.
