Q & A

What is the Blasphemous Blade, and why is it considered a strong option in Elden Ring?

The Blasphemous Blade is a great sword in Elden Ring that excels in healing and fire damage, primarily scaling with strength and faith. Its unique skill, Taker's Flame, deals high fire damage and heals the player, making it versatile for both offense and survivability.

Why might the Blasphemous Blade not be the best option for high damage builds?

While the Blasphemous Blade offers balanced performance between high damage and survivability, it doesn't achieve the highest possible damage output compared to other weapons. Its primary strength lies in healing rather than maximizing raw damage.

What is the strategy behind using the 'Go's Great Sword' for a bleed build?

Go's Great Sword is highly effective for a bleed build due to its ability to inflict bleed status quickly with fast, powerful hits using the spinning gravity thrust Ash of War. This combination makes it easy to cause massive bleed damage to enemies, particularly bosses, despite needing careful execution.

How does the Carrion Sovereignty Ash of War enhance magic damage builds?

The Carrion Sovereignty Ash of War boosts magic damage significantly, making it one of the strongest magic skills in Elden Ring. It is highly versatile as it can be applied to various weapon types like great swords and katanas, providing massive damage output and critical hit opportunities.

What makes the dual wielding blue weapons build unique?

This dual wielding build utilizes extremely fast attacks, making it one of the easiest builds to use while delivering massive damage. With only three inputs, players can deplete bosses' health bars quickly, especially when paired with the Twin Blade Talisman, which boosts successive attacks.

What is the key advantage of Pierce damage in PvE, and why is it considered meta after the DLC release?

Pierce damage has become the meta because it's effective against all types of enemies, especially armored foes. When an enemy is performing an attack, they take 35% more Pierce damage, making it highly effective in many PvE scenarios.

What makes the Marais Executioner’s Sword stand out among other great swords?

The Marais Executioner’s Sword is one of Elden Ring's legendary weapons, with a unique skill called Eochaid's Dancing Blade. This skill allows the weapon to deal multiple hits in a short time, taking full advantage of attack-buffing effects, making it one of the strongest great swords in the game.

Why is the Ancient Dragon Lightning Strike incantation considered 'broken' in Elden Ring?

The Ancient Dragon Lightning Strike incantation is considered 'broken' due to its immense damage output, capable of destroying enemies quickly. However, it can be difficult to use against fast bosses in the DLC, which is why players often combine it with Knight’s Lightning Spear for better versatility.

What is the 'Sword Spirit' build, and why is it described as the most broken build in Elden Ring?

The Sword Spirit build relies on deflecting enemy attacks to boost guard counter damage by up to 80%, allowing players to deal massive damage—up to 27k in a single hit. When combined with buffs like Royal Knight's Resolve, it becomes the most broken build in the game, capable of one-shotting even the toughest bosses.

What should players focus on if they feel their damage is lower than expected in New Game Plus cycles?

If players notice significantly lower damage than expected, they might be missing key components of their build, such as neglecting the buff routine. It’s important to fully apply buffs and strategies like using Golden Vow, Flame Grant Me Strength, and other essential buffs to maximize build performance.
