If you want to become the most powerful Samurai in Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, then do not miss this guide.

Here we will bring you Moonlight Katana Samurai Build. We will cover its play style, gear to use, best Talismans for this build, tips for using the game, and more. With this guide, you will eventually master the great power of Moonlight and have fun in the new DLC.

Gameplay

With Transient Moonlight, Moonlight Samurai can deal tremendous damage from both melee and ranged. The skill of releasing shockwaves, which is great for ranged attacks, however, in melee range you will deal even more damage because Katana will also hit the enemy.

Moonlight Samurai has high Intelligence and Dexterity, allowing the user to perform all the most powerful magic to their liking. With this build, you will cast a lot of Stance damage and tear bosses to pieces with ease.

Gear

Now that the basic play style is out of the way, let’s move on to the best weapons for Moonlight Samurai.

Main Weapon: Moonveil Katana

Let’s start with the main weapon for Moonlight Samurai, which is without a doubt Moonveil Katana. To use it effectively, the user needs 12 Strength, 18 Dexterity, and 23 Intelligence, and it scales primarily with Intelligence and Dexterity.

But its best feature is the aforementioned Transient Moonlight skill, which gives the user versatility in combat. This weapon can deal with regular Unsheathe attacks with a special arching shockwave when L2+R1 is pressed.

R1 Transient Moonlight is often used to deal with large groups of enemies, while pressing L2+R2 allows for an overhead Unsheathe attack with a vertical projectile, similar to Ash of War: Unsheathe. This will become your go-to skill, especially when dealing with bosses. Many times, enemies’ stances will be broken because of the massive Stance damage of this skill.

Secondary Weapon: Carian Glintblade Staff

Next, I decided to go with Carian Glintblade Staff as a secondary weapon, since this build is centered on Intelligence, anyway. This Staff requires 6 Strength, 22 Intelligence, and 12 Dexterity to use effectively.

I chose this Staff because it boosts the strength of Glintblade Sorceries by 15%, and we’ll be using either Glintblade or Greatblade Phalanx Sorceries in this build.

Of course, if you have more Elden Ring Runes budget, you can also use Azur’s Glintstone Staff, which will give you more casting time.

Sorceries

Speaking of Sorceries, I chose Phalanx Sorceries for more Stance damage, and it also matches up well with Moonlight Sumarai.

Glintblade Phalanx Or Greatblade Phalanx

Also, I recommend using either Glintblade Phalanx or Greatblade Phalanx as a secondary damage source. Both of these Sorcery will help you deal extra raw and Stance damage, which will complement your Moonveil Katana while not disrupting your attack rotation too much.

Glintblade Phalanx only costs 18 FP to use, while Greatblade costs 30 FP, so this is something you’ll want to consider as well. You can use either one, it all depends on your preference. But personally, I use Glintblade Phalanx for lower FP costs, and I tend to focus on using Moonveil instead of casting Glintblade Phalanx.

Terra Magica

The next Sorcery on the list is Terra Magica, which casts a magic puddle or a sigil that increases magic damage by 35% for 30 seconds. All of our damage sources are magic based, so this will improve the overall damage of the build.

Talismans

Next, let’s get into the best Talismans for this build.

Shard Of Alexander

The first Talisman on the list is our Shard of Alexander. This provides a 15% increase in skill damage, especially when performing a Transient Moonlight.

Magic Scorpion Charm

Next up is Magic Scorpion Charm. Since we’re dealing primarily magic damage with this build, the 12% extra magic damage this amulet provides will be beneficial in exchange for the 10% increase in physical damage taken.

Green Turtle Talisman

The next Talisman on the list is Green Turtle Talisman, which increases Stamina recovery and is one of the go-to Talismans I use because my gameplay and strategy always revolves around ultra-aggressive gameplay and strategy, so most of the time, my Stamina is running low. So, the faster my Stamina recovers, the more damage I can do to the enemy.

Carian Filigreed Crest

Finally, for general use, I recommend Carian Filigreed Crest. This Talisman reduces FP cost of skills by 25%, allowing you to deal more Transient Moonlights before popping a Cerulean Tear.

Stats

Let’s move on to Moonlight Samurai’s stats.

Starting with Vigor, it has 40 points assigned to it. If you feel like you need more HP to survive, feel free to bump it up to 45-50 since we’ll be using Godrick’s Great Rune later on, anyway. And since I’m used to Glass Cannon builds, I don’t usually invest a lot of points in Vigor.

Next up is Mind, which has 30 points assigned to it since this is a build that requires FP. Constantly using Transient Moonlight while setting up buffs will deplete your FP, so I highly recommend having at least 30 points in Mind.

Moving on to Endurance, it has 40 points assigned to it since the intended gameplay of Moonveil Samurai is super aggressive. You’ll be spending most of your time face-to-face with bosses, or pulling out Transient Moonlight from a distance.

Personally, I deplete Endurance faster than anything when optimizing for combat, so I highly recommend having at least 40 points in Endurance. I consider Endurance to be the offensive stat in any Souls game I play, because the more stamina you have, the more damage you can do.

Next Strength is at least 18, so you will use Nagakiba. Also, I recommend at least Dexterity at 60 and Mind at 75, so you can maximize the damage of Moonveil Katana and Glintblade Phalanx or any magic you want to use later.

For Faith and Arcane, 0 points have been assigned to them since we don’t need these stats in this build.

How To Optimize This Build?

Now that stats are out of the way, let’s move on to Moonlight Samurai gameplay tips and optimization techniques. Learn 5 useful tips that will help you master this build.

Utilizing Wakizashi

The first tip I have for you is to prepare Wakizashi and fuse it with Ash of War: Golden Vow. Having the ability to cast Golden Vow will increase your damage by 11.5% and increase damage negation by 7.5% across the board.

Optimize Your Opener

The second tip on the list is to optimize your Opener. At the start of a fight, I usually cast Flask of Wondrous Physick first, get more magic and stance, then cast Golden Vow, and have my Glintblade Phalanx ready. Finally, rush the boss and start casting Transient Moonlight.

During this time, try to deal as many attacks as you can, as the stance buff from physics doesn’t last. If you manage to fight off the boss, you will have a huge upper hand.

Use Terra Magica Effectively

The third tip on the list is to make sure you cast Terra Magica and stand on Sigil first, then use Transient Moonlight in succession. You can also do this at the melee range to deal as much damage as possible.

Prepare A Katana

We never know how many magic-resistant enemies DLC will throw at us, so preparing at least another Katana, such as Nagakiba, will still give you an advantage.

Customize The Build

The last tip on the list is to customize the build to your liking. As mentioned before, this build has access to the most powerful Sorceries in the game, so if you don’t like my personal setup, feel free to get creative.

You can be a full mage with this build, as you will have high Dexterity anyway, so your cast times will be much faster. Utilizing spells such as Comet Azur or other destruction spells in the game may give you more options or variety in combat. Consider changing Staff to Azur’s Glintstone Staff if you choose to go this route.

That’s it for the complete guide to building this Moonlight Katana Samurai Build. Hopefully, it helps you get off to a better start as you enter Shadow of the Erdtree!

Richter Belmont is one of the most iconic Castlevania characters ever to appear in Elden Ring. If you want to get a better start playing as him in Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, which releases on June 21, then this guide is for you.

Here we’ll go over Richter Belmont’s play style, gear to use, and the best Talismans to complete this build, as well as tips for using the game and more. Let’s get straight into it!

Basics Of The Build

Richter Belmont is a descendant of the powerful Belmont Clan, and he wields the legendary Vampire Killer, one of the deadliest weapons in the cleansing of Dracula’s legion.

For this build, Richter relies heavily on hard-hitting incantations to deal as much damage as possible, while also having the ability to be agile in combat. If the enemy is resistant to Holy damage, Richter will use whips to make the enemy bleed, making him a well-rounded fighter.

Richter Belmont has high Faith and Dexterity. You will be using spell combinations to deal a lot of damage to your enemies, especially when fighting humanoid-type enemies.

Weapons

Now that the basic play style is covered, let’s move on to Richter Belmont’s equipment.

But before we dive in, I will not include all of his possible original movesets, such as his Throwing Axe, Holy Water, so that the build still flows well. Having so many spells and weapons on a build would make it unwieldy to use, so I limited it while trying to maintain the identity of the build.

Hoslow’s Petal Whip

With that said, let’s start with Richter’s major weapon, which is without a doubt Hoslow’s Petal Whip. We are trying to mimic his Vampire Killer Whip, so Hoslow’s Petal Whip, Giant’s Red Braid, and Regular Whip are the best Whips for the job.

If you want to use it effectively, you need 10 Strength, 20 Dexterity, and it scales mostly based on the above stats.

Bloodhound’s Step

Besides that, it’s a natural Bloodloss Build, which is a huge plus for this build. Hoslow’s Whip is incorporated into Bloodhound’s Step to mimic his quick dash from Castlevania Symphony of Night, allowing him to gracefully dodge enemy attacks and counterattack with his whip with ease. I recommend setting it to Keen Hoslow Whip, though, as we’ll be buffing it later.

Erdtree Seal

Moving on to his secondary weapon. Since we’ll be using spells, I decided to go with Erdtree Seal. It scales well overall, and it looks like Richter is carrying a cross that fits the theme.

This Seal requires 40 Faith to use effectively, which isn’t a problem for Richter. Of course, you can also choose some better Seals, but that’s also more demanding on your Elden Ring Runes budget.

Incantations

Next, let’s look at Incantations required for this build.

Golden Vow

The first Incantation in the list is Golden Vow, which increases your damage by 15% and adds 10% damage negation across the board. Since Whip usually needs a damage boost and also increases the damage of spells, Golden Vow is highly recommended for this build. And the cross-like graphic provided by Golden Vow matches Richter’s identity very well.

Bloodflame Blade

Next is Bloodflame Blade spell. Vampire Killer emits light, and most of the time it applies burning and explosion to enemies, so Bloodflame Blade is the best choice for this job. Not only will it grant whip fire damage and make the whip glow, but it will also help Richter trigger Hemorrhage faster.

Discus Of Light

One of Belmont’s signature sub-weapons is the cross, which they throw like Boomerangs, and it returns to the user’s hand after throwing. With this idea in mind, I decided to use Discus of Light because it is the closest spell when it comes to emulating Cross Sub-weapon.

Discus of Light may seem weak at first glance, but just like Cross Sub-weapon, when Discus returns, it will deal damage to the target twice. If the user is experienced enough, consecutive casts of Discus of Light will deal considerable damage.

Aspects Of The Crucible: Horns

Moving on to the next spell, which is Aspects of the Crucible: Horns. Richter will perform a charge attack using a whip or kicking enemies. Since Martial Arts are not yet available in the game, I decided to slot in Aspects of the Crucible: Horns. This spell will mimic the mentioned charge attack, and can deal stance damage to the target or even send the target flying, especially against humanoid type ones.

I tend to use this spell when closing the distance to the target, and it can be a deadly spell when paired with Wrath of Gold, as stun locks can be inflicted.

Wrath Of Gold

The next spell is Wrath of Gold, which is Richter’s strongest damage spell. Note that both Aspects of the Crucible: Horns and Wrath of Gold can be charged to deal more damage.

Compared to the previous spell, Wrath of Gold is easier to use because of its close-range AOE. We usually use it when dealing with a large group of enemies, or use it as a counterspell in boss fights.

Talismans

With weapons and spells out of the way, it’s time to look at Richter’s Talismans.

The first Talisman on the list is Sacred Scorpion Charm. Since Richter relies on Wrath of Gold for damage, the extra 12% Holy damage provided by this Talisman will be beneficial to this build. In exchange, physical damage taken is increased by 10%.

Next up is Godfrey Icon, which increases the charged attack of spells and abilities by 15%. The extra charge attack damage provided by this Talisman applies to your Aspects of the Crucible: Horns and Wrath of Gold, making them very effective in combat.

Next up is Flock’s Canvas Talisman. This Talisman further increases the damage of our offensive spells by 8%, and it stacks with your other buffs, so I highly recommend slotting this one.

The last one is Green Turtle Talisman, which increases stamina recovery. This is one of the main Talismans we use, because my gameplay and strategy always revolves around ultra-aggressive strategies, so most of the time, my stamina is completely depleted. Therefore, the faster my stamina recovers, the more damage we can do to the enemy.

For Richter, he will benefit greatly from this, because you will find yourself always needing stamina, and continuously launching his most deadly combos will usually consume 70% to 80% of his stamina.

Stats

Moving on to Richter Belmont’s stats. Note that I will standardize all of my builds at around level 200. It is up to you if you want to upgrade your build above 200.

Starting with Vigor, 40 points have been allocated to it, feel free to increase it to 45 to 50 if you feel you need more HP to survive. Since we’ll be using Godrick’s Great Rune later anyway, I rarely invest a lot of points into Vigor.

Next up is Mind, which has 35 points assigned to it. Since this is FP-hungry build, setting up buffs while constantly using spells will definitely deplete your FP in a short period of time.

Talking about Endurance next, we’ve assigned 33 points to it since a lot of stamina is needed when dealing with continuous spells or a lot of whip attacks. 33 points of Endurance can sometimes feel insufficient, so feel free to adjust it to 40 if you feel it’s necessary.

At least 10 points in Strength so that you can use Hoslow’s Petal Whip.

The next stats on the list are Dexterity and Faith, which are the main stats in this build. I recommend setting Dexterity to at least 61 and Faith to 75 to help you deal a decent amount of damage in whip attacks and spells.

If you’re really good at the game, you can sacrifice your Vigor points and allocate them to Endurance and more Faith to get a more ideal result.

Finally, make sure you have at least 10 Arcane to use Bloodflame Blade and 13 Intelligence to meet Discus of Light requirement.

Gameplay

Now that stats are out of the way, let’s move on to Richter Belmont’s gameplay and optimization tips.

Optimize Your Opener Burst

The first tip on the list is to optimize your Opener Burst. When the fight starts, I usually start by casting Flask of Wondrous Physick, which can deal more holy and physical damage if you have Thorny Cracked Tear slotted in.

Next is to cast Golden Vow to deal more damage, then cast Bloodflame Blade. Depending on the boss, I’ll either prepare a spell combo or keep whipping attacks until I bleed. During this time, do your best to counter as many attacks as possible to take advantage of the stacking holy damage buff.

Incantation Combo

The next tip is to take advantage of Richter’s incantation combo, especially when against humanoid types of enemies.

To start the above combo, you can use Discus of Light multiple times to disrupt and lure the enemy, even dealing damage in the process, and follow up with a fully charged Aspects of the Crucible: Horns.

If the enemy is hit, it will fly into the air and hit the ground, giving you enough time to perform your next killer move, which is a fully charged Wrath of Gold. It will knock the target back further, and then you can finish it off with a whip jump attack and follow up with a normal whip combo. If this move is used correctly, not only will the enemy take a lot of damage, but it will also allow you to build up blood loss in the process.

Mastering Whip Line

For some people, using the whip can be a challenging task. Two attacks are usually safe in most cases, while three attacks will get you into trouble most of the time. Therefore, I strongly recommend intentionally using whip attacks to master Whip line.

Are you a fan of Richter like me? Do you like this character build? Regardless, with this guide, you will eventually master the power of Belmont family and have fun in the upcoming DLC.

In this guide, I’ll be bringing you the strongest build in Elden Ring, Dragonborn Blood Mage. It can do everything the typical Lightning One Shot God Build and Scavenger’s Curved Sword Bleed Build can do.

In addition, we’ve also added One Shot Spell for each damage type, which allows you to target the weak point of any boss in Elden Ring with this build.

This is also the best build to start Shadow of the Erdtree DLC as it has no weaknesses. You can easily one-shot anything with very little buff within the safety of Blood Mage, and you can also use bleed weapons and play melee meta play style. I’m sure this will go down as the most powerful overall build in Elden Ring history.

Stats & Starting Class

Before we get started, we’ll go over the stats and starting classes I recommend for this build.

Right now, the optimal class to achieve these stats at level 150 is Bandit. Also, keep in mind that some of these stats are flexible and you can adjust them as needed.

• Vigor 50
• Mind 15
• Endurance 19
• Strength 9
• Dexterity 14
• Intelligence 9
• Faith 33
• Arcane 80

Weapons

Next, let’s look at weapons first, as this is pretty unique in terms of the weapon choices it gives you.

The most important weapon in this build will be Dragon Communion Seal. This Seal increases the damage of Dragon Communion Incantations by 15%.

If you want a taste of melee combat, based on these stats, I recommend grabbing Dual Scavenger’s Curved Swords. This item is now just loot on a corpse in Mt Gelmir, but a Grafted Scion guards it. To defeat this Field Boss, spending Elden Ring Runes on decent equipment is crucial.

Since you can only grab one per game, unless you have a friend to give you a second, I recommend grabbing Bandit’s Curved Sword in your off-hand. The easiest way to get this weapon is to farm it from Skeletal Bandits next to Church of Pilgrimage, so you can get this very early.

Now, since this is also a Curved Sword, it shares a move set with Scavenger’s Curved Sword, which includes jumping multi-attack, running multi-attack, and a fast double hit L1 spam.

It’s also important to note that you can always use Jellyfish Shield. It’s just some jellyfish ground loot on a broken carriage, and its Contagious Fury skill will increase all damage by 20% for 30 seconds.

Spells

Now, let’s talk about spells and skills, as this gives this build the versatility to solve everything in the game in one shot.

First off, Dragonmaw is cool because it’s a physical damage skill that you can buy instantly with a Dragon Heart from Cathedral of Dragon Communion.

Agheel’s Flame is another significant item you can get early on. All you need to do is kill Flying Dragon Agheel and purchase this spell from Cathedral of Dragon Communion. This will cost you two Dragon Hearts, but then it will grant you his Firebreather attack.

Now, for enemies with fire damage but weak magic, I recommend Smarag’s Glintstone Breath. All you need to do is kill Smarag west of Academy, and you can purchase it for two Dragon Hearts. This is very similar to Agheel’s Flame, but it will be a breath attack based on magic damage.

Ekzykes’s Decay isn’t just a spell that applies Scarlet Rot, it’s also capable of dealing massive physical damage. All you need to do is kill Ekzykes and purchase it with two Dragon Hearts.

Dragonclaw is another spell that can be purchased at any time from Cathedral of Dragon Communion. It only costs one heart and is a very cool spell that has an immediate follow-up attack. It has great AOE and is good for exploration. But for bosses, Dragonmaw is probably better.

Armor

For armor, I don’t think you can find a better armor set for a dragon theme build than this.

I used Scaled Greaves because they give us 20 poise and they go together surprisingly well. Veteran’s Gauntlets gave 8 poise and also matched very well. Drake Knight Armor is always our only choice for chest armor, it provides 19 poise. Then the 4 poise on Skeletal Mask pushes us to the 51 poise breakpoint.

Like I said, I don’t think you can get to 51 poise and find a set of armor that looks better than this one.

Buffs

One of the most attractive parts of this build is that you only need very few buffs to do incredible damage. I used about 2 or 3 buffs for most of the game.

The first is Golden Vow, which is a staple in any incantation caster build. This increases all damage by 15% and damage negation by 10% for 80 seconds.

You can then pick up Howl of Shabriri in the chest on the second floor of Frenzy-Flaming Tower. This is why we need at least 33 Faith when building, which increases all damage by 25% for 40 seconds. This is a huge damage boost and lasts a long time.

If you need to squeeze an extra 5% damage out of any physical dragon spells, Bloodboil Aromatic will increase all physical damage by 30%.

Outro

The fact that this build can use both these and highly scaling spells makes it the strongest overall build in Elden Ring. With this build, we can use One Shot Spell at such a high-level that we can safely kill all the bosses in the game. So, hurry up and try it out!

As a Souls game, Elden Ring has a good character build that is crucial. With the release of Shadow of the Erdtree DLC imminent, in this guide we’ll share 4 of the best builds to prepare for Elden Ring’s first major expansion!

Spear Build

The first one is our Spear Build. The weapons for this build are Eleonora’s Poleblade and Rivers of Blood. Eleonora’s Poleblade deals a lot of stance damage and also causes a bleed effect. And Rivers of Blood will give players a strategic advantage thanks to its ease of use and simplicity in combat.

In order for this build to reach its full potential, you’ll need to invest a certain amount of Elden Ring Runes to upgrade both weapons to +10.

Also, any seal that can be used to cast prominent buffs will suffice. The armor can depend on player preference, but the ideal option is Ronin’s Set with Iron Kasa. For Talisman, the choices that deal the most damage are: Ritual Sword Talisman, Shard of Alexander, Millicent’s Prosthesis, and Rotten Winged Sword Insignia.

In your Memory Slots, don’t forget to use Golden Vow and Howl of Shabriri. Also, mix Fire Shrouding Cracked Tear and Thorny Cracked Tear into Flask of Wondrous Physick.

Flame Swordsman Build

Second, the major weapons of Flame Swordsman Build are Death’s Poker and Helphen Steeple. In order to cast spells, players need to use Azur’s Glintstone Staff.

For seals, any option for casting buffs will work. Its preferred armor is Spellblade Set, which increases damage by an additional 8%. The best talismans that will give you the biggest damage buff are Ritual Sword Talisman, Shard of Alexander, Magic Scorpion Charm, and Dragoncrest Greatshield.

In your Memory Slots, be sure to use Terra Magica, Explosive Ghostflame, and Howl of Shabriri. Also, mix Magic-Shrouding Cracked Tear and Dexterity-knot Crystal Tear into Flask of Wondrous Physick.

Lightning Samurai Build

Next, Lightning Samurai is also a good choice. The chief weapon for this build will be Keen Nagakiba, which can be boosted to +25 after applying Unsheathe.

Its armor will be composed of Goldmask’s Rags, White Reed Gauntlets, and White Reed Greaves. The best charms for maximum damage are Ritual Sword Talisman, Flock’s Canvas, Lightning Scorpion Charm, and Godfrey Icon.

In your Memory Slots, you can use Golden Vow, Vyke’s Dragonbolt, and Howl of Shabriri. Also, don’t forget to mix Lightning-Shrouding Cracked Tear and Faith-knot Crystal Tear into Flask of Wondrous Physick.

Souls Driller Build

Finally, Souls Driller is a severely underrated build because most players don’t know how to use it to its fullest potential. The principal weapon of this build is Marais Executioner’s Sword, which can be upgraded to +10 later. Any seal that can be cast and deals with damage will work with this build.

The armor for Souls Driller build will be Briar Set excluding the helmet. The best talisman choices for the most damage are Ritual Sword Talisman, Shard of Alexander, Millicent’s Prosthesis, and Rotten Winged Sword Insignia.

Golden Vow and Howl of Shabriri are very critical in your Memory Slots. Also, be sure to mix Thorny Cracked Tear and Magic-Shrouding Cracked Tear into Flask of Wondrous Physick.

Outro

While many of these builds may be suitable for many people, some may not. So try adjusting them to your preferences and play style. This will ensure that when Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree DLC finally drops, your character will be battle-ready and ready to face the game’s nerfs and buffs.

All in all, which of these four builds would you most like to try? Do you have any recommendations for better build options? Looking forward to seeing you in the game!

Hi, players! Are you tired of Elden Ring builds requiring constant buffing and gear adjustments just to face a boss? Fear not! Today, allow me to present the Blood Star build, which is a revolutionary, dominant setup. Journey through the darkest depths of Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree DLC as the Blood Star guides you to hidden treasures and formidable challenges. Without wasting time, let's dive in!

Blood Star Overview

Introducing the Blood Star, emerging from the Vagabond class, featuring meticulously tailored stats engineered for unparalleled dominance. Sporting a Vigor of 60 for enduring health, an Endurance of 38 for unwavering stamina, and a Strength of 60 for devastating blows, this build is finely tuned for obliterating enemies with ruthless efficiency. However, the crowning achievement lies in its Arcane stat, soaring to 80, providing an astounding 90% scaling return - a veritable feast for those hungry for power.

Gear Setup

Get ready with your Elden Ring Runes and embrace the simplicity of combat! The Occult Star Fist +25 reigns supreme as the epitome of destruction, further fueled by the Ash of War: Barbaric Roar, enhancing physical strikes by 7.5% and infusing them with unparalleled vigor.

Adorn yourself with the White Mask to amplify attack potency upon triggering bleeding effects, while donning the resilient Omen set ensures unparalleled endurance, boasting 82 poise to withstand relentless enemy assaults with ease.

Talismans

Talismans hold a profound influence on the arsenal of the Blood Star build. Whether it's the Lord of Blood’s Exultation or Millicent’s Prosthesis, each talisman seamlessly harmonizes, augmenting attack prowess with every relentless strike.

And let's not overlook the Roar Medallion, which heightens the potency of the Barbaric Roar, ensuring that adversaries quiver in fear before the sheer might you wield. The combat simplicity is where the Blood Star truly shines.

Flask Of Wondrous Physick

In the Flask of Wondrous Physick, we have the Thorny Cracked Tear, boosting our attack power by up to 20% with successive hits. This is also scaling with Rotten Winged Sword Insignia and Millicent's Prosthesis. And then we have the Greenburst Crystal Tear, boosting our stamina recovery speed.

With just a sip of the Physick Flask and a primal roar, you’re primed for annihilation. Whether Dual Wielding the Star Fist weapon for relentless barrages of light attacks or unleashing savage heavy combos empowered by Barbaric Roar, victory is swift and inevitable. And for the PvP enthusiasts, the Blood Star leaves a trail of devastation in its wake, asserting dominance with every swing.

PvP & PvE Combat

Unlock the full potential of the Blood Star by incorporating the Highland Axe into your offhand, granting an additional 10% boost to Barbaric Roar - a game-changing build in both PvE and PvP encounters. Prepare to unleash chaos and conquer Elden Ring like never before with the Blood Star build.

Let's have a look at how the combat works. There are 2 ways to fight. First, just Dual Wielding the Star Fist and split it into 2 hands, then go to town with simple light attacks. You will hit hard and fast, and the successive hits will very quickly activate all the gear boosted by them. Then when bleed also kicks in, the damage just stacks and goes completely through the roof.

The second way to approach combat is to take advantage of the savage heavy combo attack we now have, thanks to Barbaric Roar. Just hit R2 as much as you can and unleash a brutal heavy combo that wrecks bosses. You can circle around enemies to keep hits going, and in a lot of cases, you don't even need to roll.

If you put a Highland Axe in your off-hand, you actually get a plus 10% boost to Barbaric Roar, which stacks with our Roar Medallion. You don't even have to be wielding it in your hand for the buff. You can put the Ash of War: Golden Vow on the Longsword that the Vagabond class starts with. Use that first to boost your attack and defense and then switch the Highland Axe to your off-hand.

Are you ready to embrace the power of the Blood Star and conquer Elden Ring like never before? Join me on this epic journey and witness the birth of a new era in gaming greatness. Embrace the power of the Blood Star and reign supreme in the world of Elden Ring.
