Welcome all gamers! I'll be presenting my selection of the 3 best dexterity builds in Elden Ring in this guide. These builds will not only provide you with an exciting gaming experience, but also significantly enhance your damage output on the battlefield. Let’s take a closer look!

Hand Of Malenia Build

The first build we have is the Hand of Malenia build, and it absolutely shreds. Everything about this build is interesting and the ash of war is incredible. The dexterity is almost maxed out with this build, and overall, you're going to have an easy time. You don't have to just spam the ash of war because the weapon does very decent physical damage and has an excellent dexterity scaling.

One thing when using this build is that you don't want to build around the Blood Loss. This weapon doesn't build up Blood Loss very quickly, as the ash of war doesn't build up Blood Loss on every single hit. There's also a large amount of Hyper armor when you're in the ash of war, at least for the first part when you jump up into the air and you're about to start Waterfowl Dance.

The only negative I would say about this weapon is you really can't get it until the very end of the game after you defeat Malenia. We'll be using the Hand of Malenia Katana and also be using Okina Mask for extra dexterity. For your talisman, you use the Shard of Alexander, the Millicent's Prosthesis, the Rotten Winged Sword Insignia, and the Dragoncrest Greatshield Talisman.

For your flask, you use the Dexterity-knot Crystal Tear and the Thorny Cracked Tear. All you have to do is raise your dexterity up a bit and then take away the Arcane and put it into faith so you can equip Flame Grime, Strength, and Golden Vow for extra physical damage and damage negation.

Godskin Peeler Build

The next build is the Godkin Peeler build. This is an excellent dexterity weapon with phenomenal scaling and strong damage. We also using the TwinBlade to allow you to get that jump attack moveset very easily. We’ve also paired this build with a Frost ash of war, so we’re getting some phenomenal deck damage and some Frost proccing, allowing us to get 20% extra damage on our enemy.

All the talismans and the flask synergize incredibly well together, and the build just performs well. Not only do you get that great jump attack damage, but also the dual Twinblade moveset of just hitting a normal light attack with both of them is absolutely phenomenal. You build up your successive attacks very quickly, you’re able to pour out a ton of damage.

As we’re using the Godkin Peeler, we have the Spinning Slash ash of war, but also Repeating Thrust works incredibly well. We’re also using the Twinblade for our second weapon of this build. We’re going to be using the Raptor’s Black Feathers for your jump attacks. Then you’ll use the Rotten Winged Sword Insignia, the Shard of Alexander, the Dragoncrest Greatshield Talisman, and the Claw Talisman.

When it comes to your buffs, you want to use Flame Grant Me, Strength, and Golden Vow. And for our flask, we’re going to have the Thorny Cracked Tear and the Opaline Bubbletear. This is a Level 170 build, and the majority of what you’re putting stuff into is going to be dexterity, vigor, and endurance.

Lighting Nagakiba Build

For our last build, we are going to be sticking with a Katana theme, and this is going to be a Lightning Nagakiba build. We're going to be using talismans that help us proc our successive attacks, and this build is going to be a ton of fun to play, allowing you to do a good amount of damage. We have some great talismans for this build.

The build performs incredibly well, and with the in-game bosses, there really wasn't a problem at all doing enough damage to them. The Nagakiba has an excellent advantage when it comes to its range as it's the longest Katana in Elden Ring, and it definitely helps this build out.

This weapon is going to have a great dexterity scaling, and it's also going to have some great physical damage, especially with the Katana moveset. As fast as you can get these attacks off, you're going to be pouring out damage like crazy, and you're going to have a great time with this particular build.

We have the Nagakiba with the Spinning Slash ash of war. For your talisman, you have the Erdtree's Favor +2, the Shard of Alexander, the Rotten Winged Sword Insignia, and the Lightning Scorpion Charm. For your flask, you're going to have the Thorny Cracked Tear and the Lightning-Shrouding Crack Tear. And for your buff, we have Flame Grant me, Strength, Golden Vow, and Electrify Armament.

The Yo-Kai Watch collaboration with Final Fantasy XIV has returned on April 24th, which offering 17 weapons, 17 minions, and 3 mounts available during the event. Given the significant interest of players in the Yo-Kai Watch event, let me share some essential information to help you get started!

Yo-Kai Watch Event Explained

To participate in the Yo-Kai Watch event, you first need to pick up the quest in Old Gridania at the Poor-heeled Youth NPC, and this will start the Yo-Kai quest line. Once you receive the item, the Yo-Kai Watch, remember that you need to physically equip it for your character.

If you're a returning player and can't remember where you left your Yo-Kai Watch, you can use an in-game search function to locate it. To get the Yo-Kai Watch back with FFXIV Gil, visit a recompense officer in a starting city-state. Along with the quest, you'll receive the Yo-Kai Medals and the Legendary Medals. These 2 currencies are used to purchase minions and weapons, respectively, from the Wandering Executive.

Framer's Kit

If you've already collected all 17 Yo-Kai minions, or you're close to doing so, then the 17 weapons aren't necessary. Instead, you can obtain the new Framers Kit reward. It is obtained by befriending all 17 minions. Unlike the mounts, you don't need to collect all 17 weapons to receive this item. This makes it a bit easier to obtain, but it's exclusive to this updated version of the Yo-Kai Watch event.

If you're a returning player who has already collected all the weapons and minions in previous iterations of the event, this is the only new addition to pick up. However, if you haven't completed it in the past years, you can still participate and use any leftover medallions from the previous years.

Legendary Yo-Kai Medals

Once you have the Yo-Kai Watch, equip it on your character and start participating in Fully Active Time Events (FATES) across various areas, like La Noscea, the Black Shroud, Thanalan, Heavenward areas, or Stormblood areas. Achieving silver or gold ratings in these FATES will earn you some Legendary Yo-Kai Medals.

Exchange For Minions

Then you can use these medals to purchase minions from the Gold Saucer vendor. The first minion costs only 1 Yo-Kai Medal, but subsequent purchases increase to 3 Yo-Kai Medals each, with 17 minions available. These medals are guaranteed drops as long as you have your Yo-Kai Watch equipped during the FATES.

Once you have one of the minions, summon it, then start to do Fates again. Now, since you have the minion summoned, while doing a select few Fates, they will complete on silver or gold rating and give you a chance of a legendary Yo-Kai Medal of that specific minion dropping.

Exchange For Weapons

However, only certain zones will be applicable to each minion. And that means if you're going for a specific weapon, you need to look at what weapon comes from what minion and what area you need to farm Fates with that particular minion out. So make sure you get the right place and have the right minion out.

Once you have the ones that you need, you can exchange those Legendary Yo-Kai Medals for the weapon of your choice in the Gold Saucer. The first weapon that you actually do costs 5 Legendary Yo-Kai Medals in total, but every weapon past that first one will cost you 10 Legendary Yo-Kai Medals. Choose the weapon you want to farm for the most first, as it is the easiest obvious to get.

Tips And Tricks

It’s worth noting that you don’t actually have to have the Yo-Kai Watch equipped at this point if you’re just after the Legendary Medals and let’s say you already have all the minions you want or all of the minions in Yo-Kai Watch event. Then un-equipping the watch will actually save you some inventory space because this will then stop the normal non-Legendary Medals from dropping.

It is only the minion being summoned out while you complete the specific Fate on that list that will give you the chance to drop Legendary Medals. The Yo-Kai Watch does not influence that drop chance. Obtaining 13 minions will get you the Whisper A-go-go mount.
