With Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree, From Software gives its fans an extension of the difficulty level worthy of the DLC attributed to Dark Souls. A real shock for those who have only known the basic Elden Ring, because The Shadow Realm is an inhospitable land in many ways. and it doesn’t matter if you’ve farmed endless runes: if you don’t use the famous splinters, the DLC’s progression system, you’ll live hell on earth against the many imposed bosses of the adventure. In this guide list, we will see all the best builds available in the base game.but also in the expansion, so you can roll on the game with gameplay that suits you.
- Noticed : This list will be updated regularly with new builds.
Build Perfume Sparkling Surge
- Content : DLC
- Class : All
- Dominant attribute: Faith
- Based on: Perfumes and Ashes Sparkling Surge
If you’re looking for THE build that’s creating buzz, this is it. Far too powerful for From Software to sit around doing nothing forever, this character build uses a brand new type of weapon from the DLC, combined with an ash of war exclusive to these famous perfumes. With the right incantations and talismans, it is possible to trivialize any boss fight in the game.
Build Sorcerer Impenetrable Thorns Bleeding
- Content : DLC
- Class : Wizard
- Dominant attributes: Faith and esotericism
- Based on: Impenetrable Thorns
Of the 14 new spells Shadow of the Erdtree offers, Impenetrable Thorns is undoubtedly one of the most impressive in terms of damage. So much so that there’s a good chance that From Software will end up nerfing it in a future update. We recommend that you take advantage of it while you still can, remembering to invest in esotericism so that the bleeding effects of the spell are even more effective.
Build Force Colossal Weapon Lion’s Claw
- Content : DLC
- Class : Vagabond
- Dominant attribute: Strength
- Based on: Wild Lion Claw
This build takes a war ash that shines brightly in Shadow of the Erdtree, combining it with a jump attack and all while being equipped with a colossal two-handed weapon. A bit technical to use, as you can see in our description of how to play it, but once you get the hang of it, you should have a lot of fun using it.
Ultimate Tank Shield Build
- Content : DLC
- Class : Vagabond
- Dominant attributes: Endurance and esotericism
- Based on: The best shields
A build that works very simply but is formidable enough to ensure optimal survival against the bosses and many dangers of Shadow of the Erdtree. Equipped with one of the best shields in the game, you’ll only have to worry about your stamina gauge, grabs, and ground strikes.. While the entire offensive phase will focus on thrusting attacks, with the shield raised.
Best Bleeding Build
- Content : Base game
- Class : Hero
- Dominant attribute: Esotericism
- Based on: Bleeding affliction
Since the base game’s release two years ago, Bleeding has always been a safe bet for slicing through the life bars of your bosses. This is still true in Shadow of the Erdtree and its colossal major enemies. With the right combination of talismans, but also a selection of excellent weapons to use to cause maximum bleeding during your game. And we forget to increase the esotericism to make things even more painful for your opponents.
Best Samurai Build
- Content : Base game
- Class : Samurai
- Dominant attribute: Dexterity
- Based on: the katanas
Samurai class fans really have something to enjoy with the arrival of the DLC : the developers have gone all out with new, particularly powerful large katanas, such as the dragon hunter’s, or the Rakshasa’s. Well, we’re not on the purity of a samurai gameplay worthy of a Sekiro Shadows Die Twice, nevertheless the moveset of these weapons and the bleeding they inflict is still as enjoyable to use as ever.
Best Confessor Build
- Content : Base game
- Class : Confessor
- Dominant attribute: Faith
- Based on: Ancient Dragon Lightning
This build should quickly become obsolete once you set foot on the DLC, since there are many more devastating options available. We are thinking in particular of the build linked to the thorns detailed at the top of the page, the fact remains that this magician character also focused on a spell will wreak havoc on the first part of your adventure. The lightning of the ancient dragons strikes a large perimeter in front of the player and the damage that each lightning inflicts is considerable.
