Today I’m going to talk about a build in Elden Ring that is super easy to create but also powerful against enemies, Shadow Build. This build is great for both beginners and experienced players. Let’s dive into the details!
The core of this build revolves around the combination of Ghostflame Ignition and Sorcery of the Servants of Death. So, get ready to witness the power of the best build in Elden Ring 1.09.1, because it will truly blow your mind!
Weapon
Let’s start with Death’s Poker, my right-hand weapon. It seems like an unusual choice for a Two-Handed Sword. But its skill, Ghostflame Ignition, can cause intermittent icy damage to opponents standing on Trail of Fire. This skill consists of two stages, Trail of Cold Flames and Powerful Explosion.
Two-Handed Attack combines Dash Forward, Powerful Ground Kick and strong Vertical Kick to provide a balanced way to attack your opponent.
Ghostflame Ignition is a Pyromancy skill that depends primarily on Strength and Dexterity and secondarily on Intelligence. It can inflict 100% Magic damage and can be further enhanced by wearing a Spellblade Set.
The advantage of this weapon is that it accumulates Frostbite exponentially, adding mobility to your fighting style. When comparing these Two-Hand Weapons to competitors like Helphen’s Steeple and Godslayer’s Greatsword, I found Death’s Poker to be easier to use in every fight. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced player, I highly recommend you try this version of experience with its power.
Staff
Now let’s turn to Prince of Death’s Staff. This Staff increases the power of Death Sorceries by 10%, and Intelligence and Faith by the same percentage.
Our main attack spell is Ancient Death Rancor, which buffs our Staff and does Magic damage. We can also use the charged version of the spell for extra damage.
Additionally, Godfrey Icon significantly increases our damage output. It’s an enhanced version of Rancorcall spell. Each Skull deals less damage individually, but can collectively form one of the most powerful damage.
Armor
Turning to armor, we have Spellblade Set, which increases Magic damage by 2% for each part of the set. This effect only applies to Ashes of War. Since we’ll be using Staff’s Ashes of War all the time, this armor is a great addition to our building.
Talismans Set
We won’t be using Early and Late Talismans Set in this setup. Spellblade Set is the only Set we use. Of course, you can also try other Sets. For example, Godfrey Icon increases the damage of charged spells and abilities by 15%.
Ritual Sword Talisman can increase attack power by 10% when the health bar is full. Shard of Alexander can greatly increase skill attack power by 15%. Or you can use Warrior Jar Shard for a 10% boost.
Items
Now, let’s get to the important part. Buffs can help us deal more damage and survive longer on the battlefield. We have Bloodboil Aromatic, which increases Physical Damage by 30%, Max Stamina by 20%, and grants 25% of all Damage Negations for 60 seconds.
As a consumable, this is very useful in the field, so you can build up enough with as many Elden Ring Runes as you can before you start. But don’t worry, you can get 5% off with the code “CSCCA”.
From Prayer of Spells we get Golden Vow, which provides a buff that increases attack power by 15% and defense power by 10% for 80 seconds. Terra Magica increases Magic damage from any source by 35% for 30 seconds.
Crystal Tears
Next, we have Crystal Tears. Combinations of these Tears maximize our build damage and survivability. When Magic-Shrouding Cracked Tear is added to a potion, temporarily increases Magic Attack by +20%.
When Crimson Bubbletear is added to the miracle potion flask, it restores 30% of the player’s maximum health when the player has 20% of their health left. These tears are very useful and can provide a lifeline of survival that can keep us from dying.
Also, if that’s not enough, you can use spells like Meteorite of Astel and Comet Azur. Since the build focuses on Intelligence, you can also incorporate Moonveil and Adula’s Moonblade. The above is the whole content of this Shadow Build. I believe its effect will surprise you, hurry up and try it.
