I always like your builds but I have a couple things that drive me nuts about most. First do you know about the Godfrey icon talisman? Lol. Because you never include it even if the build is using mostly charged spells and incantations. Also ancient dragon lightning strike is the nuke this build is missing. Otherwise this is the exact same build i used in ng+2. With different armour of course, just the weapon and talisman wise, oh I used the longer katana, the other one. Lol. Naga something. But vikes and all that, it works so beautiful.
I have just grinded to level 253, i cannot have the same stat distribution as in this video for the confessor build. How do you have so many more level up points to spend than me? Can you help me out please?
Faith is definitely the most versatile playstyle in Elden Ring, I have a Holy Paladin build using Sacred Relic Sword, Golden Order Greatsword, Treespear, Guardian's Swordspear, Marika's Hammer, and Erdtree Greatshield or Leyndell Knights Greatshield, Erdtree Seal, for Incantations Iuse mainly buffs and for offensive Incantations I use Elden Stars and Wrath of Gold. Then I have a Fire build with Blasphemous Blade, Dual Magma Blades, and Dual Fire Giant's Braid Whips, Fire Incantations, and Fire Giant's Seal. Lastly, I have a Lightning build using Bolt of Gransax, Dragon King's Cragblade, and Dual Dragonscale Katanas, Gravel Stone Seal and Lightning Incantations. I have all of those builds on one Faith Character, I just switch out the Weapons, Armor, Incantations, Talismans, and Mixed Physick Flask depending on the build. I could probably do a couple more builds like Flame of Frenzy Build and Godslayer Black Flame Build, I just haven't gotten around to it yet
ColdBwoyy nice video, thanks I'm using from the start a faith fire-quality build, so please allow me to share few things about it: · The blasfemous blade's ash of war not only heals you when you kill, it does it when you hit a target too. So if you hit AND kill the enemy, the blade heals you twice. The Blasphemous is the best sword in the Lands Between. · I like to use the oil pot, it makes that the enemy to be exposed to fire… So imagine the fun. · And last, I'm not 100% sure, but i think that, if you make a strength-faith build, the Beastclaw Seal works better than the Erdtree. Big fan of your content, keep it going!
In early game I enjoy using the Flame of the Redmane’s ash of war as a low FP cost AOE and to help break poise quickly so I can get critical hits in frequently. Aside from that I use lightning incantations and swap between the winged scythe and the claymore.
@@odious5317 I forgot the exact location but once you first enter into Caelid where you see the village that drops off where the birds are take a right and keep going until you see a site of grace and a scarab running around. Kill the scarab.

He doesn’t address anything except his bull shit 250 character. This video isn’t helpful at all. It’s misleading and can confuse players trying to replicate what he’s showing and telling us to do when none of it will work for them because they aren’t fucking 250

Finally finished my first play through using an INT/DEX build after 130+ hours 😅 immediately started NG+ and looking forward to trying out a new build! Love your vids, bro 🙌🏼🙌🏼
I did int dex too on my first playthrough. Loved it once I got the hang of it. Loved the death ritual spear the most. Used wing of astel some but not a lot. I liked the bastard stars a lot but was only able to be effective with it on horseback, or very large enemies. Otherwise it was inconsistent and hard to get off sometimes. Ofc had a moonveil. But it became my backup for desperate emergencies, it made normal gameplay too easy. Lusats staff I found was not as bad with fp as I was warned about. I only had about 30 fp and never really had an issue with fp. I'm about level 80 on a new faith build now, planned on str faith and using the giant red morning star that I can't for the life of me remember the name of. I got both of them. Trying to level them up to use them. One is at 20 with golden slam. The other is lvl 15 and I think I may put cragblade once I get the sacred whetstone. But my problem is when I level up, strength doesn't add to the ar of the weapons I use. Those, or what I'm using most, the magma scale sword. Idk why. Oh, may e it's because when I level it shows true stats, and without my soreseal I don't meet the requirements for it...maybe, idk. But faith makes the ar got up so I'm almost a pure faith build welding giant weapons I barely meet the requirements for. Lol sorry this is long. I'm bored and waiting on something so I'm staying occupied...
I've done an incredible faith/dex lightnung build that does really good incantation and spells dmg. My weapons are a keen guardian swordspear(sword dance), two lighting straight swords(lightning slash and spinning slash) and a medium shield of your Choice.. I have a gravel stone seal for incantations. Stats are at 150 50 vigor 25 mind 25 endurance 18 str 40 dex 9 int 50 faith 10 arcane.

Talismans are radagon icon for max spell casting speed(40 dex plus 30 vdex) old lords talisman to keep up buffs for a long duration. Great jar for decent armor. And the utility slot can go for whatever you want. I usually go either erdtree talisman or lightning scorpian talisman. This build does really well for both pve and pvp.

Great builds, but holy damage, the thing is everything in this game has some sort of resistance to holy damage, which is really unfortunate, it has a great aesthetic but just isn’t all the effective in the long term
Thanks for making this. I kind of rushed through Elden Ring and put in 80 hours in my first week just trying to beat it and all the bosses. But despite being level 242 now, I never felt like some badass elden lord even after beating the game. I could kill malenia but I never myself felt like a boss walking around the map. I feel like I should look on par with the bosses, with cool combat moves and destructive powers. But watching this shows me the potential I’ll have to create a badass “I am the boss now” build 😂
For my faith character I am on Journey 3. I have found that the flame and lightning are interchangeable. As Blasphemous Blade scales with both str and dex. But with dex you can utilize both. Holy is fun especially with the bubble horn, but ineffective late game.
I added arcane to my faith character towards the end, helped me out a lil..I wouldnt say its a game changer or anything but its fun, mohg's spear is insane at draining life bars
I wanted to go with a strong Holy build for my next playthrough, but the fact that most of the main story bosses have Holy resistance made me hesitant.
Holy damage is almost useless in late game or new game plus playthroughs. (Im on +3) But thats generally only true for the Boss fights. You can use it consistently for Ad clears. Its just not as good as bleed or other damage types tho. In pvp different story since some of the best weapons and arts of war are Holy damage
Drop the sacred relic sword and put a winged scythe in the offhand. The winged scythe gives you a great jumping l1, a weapon art that nerfs healing and has fantastic poise breaking abilities, and it also bleeds.
I personally was never crazy about winged scythe once I got my hands on it but wave of gold can take out an entire room in one L2. The mobs it doesn’t kill it knocks down. It’s probably the more oppressive none bleed weapon art on the game. There’s a lot of solid faith weapons thankfully. I’m a sucker for the coded sword against shield mobs especially personally.
@@nelson_rebel3907 I wish there was a way to balance things in PvP and PvE separately. Some of the things that are "broken" in PvP are actually really useful and helpful in PvP. Also, rather than "reigning in" one aspect of the game, I wish the devs would just buff everything else up to its level. That way, build diversity THRIVES. I have never been a fan of nerfing things into the ground. It's just really lazy and deflating.
Have you heard of a one shot skill? Burn o flame and ancient dragon lightning strike both one shot a lot of bosses and they would fit perfectly. Also i would infuse the uchikatana that is not being effected by vyke's dragonbolt with lightning affinity for extra damage.
Ever thought of a faith int build Have prince of death staff and Sword of N&F Vigor 45 Mind 40 End 25 Str 16 Dex 16 Int 80 Fai 80 Arc 14 I primarily use glintstone sorceries like glintstone stars and spiral shard, Ancient death rancor is also very good. I have a glintstone scarab as my headpiece to lower FP consumption while have the glintstone sorcery set to up glintstone dmg
Sick dude! I’ve been looking for a new build to try and I decided to go with the lightning god build it’s so sick. Question though! Why uchigatanas and not nagakibas considering they’re pretty much the same but with a bigger hit box? Either way, sick builds dude there’s my subscription keep up the good work.
Nice build but if I were you, use spiked cracked tear. It enhances charged attacks since most of the op spells/weapons are mainly gonna be charged damage. I wouldn't worry about fp tbh. That's what your flask are for. I've played to a build pretty close this and I've been either one shotting or nearly one shotting bosses
Went the same way after around half of my first playthrough and it was bonkers, I wanted to be STR with a little bit of faith, but as time went by I understood that more faith is the way and incantations absolutely obliterated bosses
The bolt doesn't scale with Faith though. Even though its lightning damage, like most weapon affinities, it scales with what it scales with including its ability. Therefore, the bolt will scale with AR making faith a useless stat outside of specific incantations. If that's the case, then why Faith at 45 on the third build @ 150? Unless I am missing something?
Faith isn’t affecting the Bolt of Gransax. It’s increasing the damage of your lightning incantations. That’s why dex and faith are both at 45. High damage incantations + high damage bolt of gransax and uchigatanas.
@@ColdBwoyy That’s what I figured, it was for the incantations. Good deal then. I too am obsessed with making builds. If you want to bump heads and chop it up at some point, let me know. I know an embarrassing amount of information regarding build development and stat scaling / applications.
@max omalley It would allow the weapon to be viable in a straight Faith build which would be super fitting IMO. Right now, I’m working on an all faith build. I almost have it as synergized as my fire build (Jesus that build is so much fun), but there are a few weapons I wish scaled with it that would fit the theme really nicely. Nevertheless, 80 faith brings with it some fun as hell randomness. 2k fireballs is funny af.
@@antonsten626 I wanted to, especially since there are so many RUclips channels that post terrible builds (unlike this one), don't understand how the affinities are effectual, and/or how to tweak stat distribution to ensure a weapon's AR is maxed with the calculator. A good video I thought of making, was how to actually make a build to begin with. Once you understand that, its really fun to tinker around with the calculations of a few weapons and themes. But, I started Elden Ring months late as I was finishing some other games and I don't think it would get the traction I'd like it to. I'm just not sure the game is active enough to warrant yet another channel.
people are sleeping on the ornamental straight swords because if you 2 hand it you instead get 2 then use the golden tempering unique ash of war on it then do a charged R2 you do like a 9-11 hit combo it's insane you can probably buff it with axe talisman shard of Alexander and sacred scorpion charm so it's absolutely insane
Faith strength build is the best !!!!! Love your videos brother I am on new game plus 7 . I got over 600 hours in this game no game can compare except Dark souls 3. Damn I’m using the wrong seal . I was using the giants seal
Definitely better seals to use than the Erdtree seal depending on which type of incantations you're using. Erdtree is great for a non-themed combination of incarnations though. Great video!
No your wrong. Erdtree seal is the best seal in the game overall. Yes it's true that it's not the hardest hitting at first but upgrade your faith and the seal and overtime it can beat out anything cause of the S scaling. The best way to cast lightning is with buffs like talismans and also erdtree in right hand the lightning rock seal in off hand.
@@L4Disillusion the reason erdtree seal is good is because you dont need to level anything else than faith but there are plenty of double scaling talismans that beat it eventually and builds that you are gonna be playing in ng+ probably makes better use of those ones for example a dragon communion seal is very good if you are already using arcane for your weapons golden order is pretty good if you are playing a mix of int and faith utilising night and flame or something
I really like your builds, they're pretty amazing. You think, you could do a best strength build ? I'm currently working on a strength build, with Giant crusher and jump attacks. I have five different builds at the moment on different accounts and every one of them is or is working towards on of your best builds in every category. Keep it up 😉👌🏻
If you make it late game and have high faith strength and dexterity, I think the frenzied flame seal actually scales the highest! (I’m pretty sure) Also the kings cragblade is another fun lightning weapon with one of the sickest ash of wars in the game
For the dragon scale knight build, for talismans, I use the ritual sword talisman which gives you a damage buff if you have max health instead the great shield one, mainly because the blasphemous blade ash heals when you hit something, so you always have that max hp buff
Been playing around with my own Faith/Dexterity setup as well. Bolt of Gransax is a blessing to deal with roll dodges. The animation for its L2 is extremely long even with high Dexterity. Its very rare to be able to land it. But the passive lightning damage is nice for high physical defense setups. Funny enough the only L2 (besides of course ROB) that I've been landing consistently is from Wave of Gold. People dont seem to quite know what to do sometimes and end up rolling right into the damage.
@@yuryur6022 increased casting speed of incantations and sorceries, makes you less likely to get knocked of Torrent, and scales damage with dexterous weapons (daggers, katana type swords, etc. NOT heavy weapons like hammers and clubs). Most weapons will scale with dex and strength to varying degrees, and then faith or intelligence.
The magma wyrm sword is also a pretty good sword. Don't know what area of the game you get the other 2, but the magma sword is relatively mid-early game
@@bryceskow6846 really? I have it at I think +6 rn and the ashe hits for around 1k and you can do it twice. Sometimes you get punished but I try to use it as a finisher. It's also nice in pvp because they can walk into it and take full dmg a second after lol. I'm definitely going to max it out till I get another faith weapon. I do want something quicker tho. Plus I don't even have the right tailsmans yet lol
@@BiIlDipperIy Magma Blade is also in insanely good. If you want something that isn't as slow and isn't so easy to punish, try Flame Strike on one of your weapons that doesn't have a set Ash of War.
Question ??? You show one Blasphemous Blade build with the Erd Tree Seal and another one with Gravel stone Seal ?? Which is better at Faith 80 scaling ?? Can you not stack these these seals, one in each hand ?? Loving the videos !!
Three main dmg types you get from fth: fire, lightning, and holy... Dmg types of a Quality: Physical and cold... Int: magic and cold... Arc: poison, occult, dragon incants, and bleed. Have fun with the info my fellow Goldbros
Greetings, first off thank you so much for your videos, they help me out a lot. My question is on your Thunder God Lightning Build you suggest going dual uchigatanas. I followed your build and did not start as a Samarai which gives you one to start with, I got the one in Deathtouch Catacombs, how or where to get the second uchigatana to dual wield. Thank you for any feedback to help me out with this.
I’m testing out the lightning build, and if I charge the katana with Vyke’s, it does about the same damage as if I use an ash of war with lightning affinity. So why not just use the lightning affinity? Saves having to scroll through spells to find and re-apply it. Curious why you didn’t choose that and went for the more complicated option.
it gives you more lee-way if you want to add other options into the mix, such as giving your weapons different charges for specific fights essentially. Also adding Lightning Affinity lowers the Dex scaling which is not what you want
thanks to this guide i was able to beat elden beast solo for the first time, that first build is awesome. my mimic was even able to last the entire fight, and normally thast dumbass is as bad as me.
Dual wield blasphemous blade and sacred order blade and max out FTH with about 30 dex. The ridiculous combination of these two weapon arts on one build will destroy everything.
dude nice builds, but flame grant me strenght is overwrited by vyke's dragonbolt, you have to use electric weapon to use them both at the same time, or if you wanna the red lightning effect you need to use vyks first and then flame grant me strenght but you loose the weight effect of vykes spell
Something is off with the stat allocation on the Holy Confessor. Distributing the stats as you suggest gets you to level 313, not 253. Otherwise excellent builds, though. Expecially the Thundergod is one hell of a blast. Edit: on the second to last point of stat allocation, where you explain those for level 150, the stats on the left are those for level 253. It's just the final step where they are off. Final Edit: you have Marika equipped and probably Godricks Rune active, thats what caused my confusion, soryy about that...
I’m using blasphemous, but I feel like the range and melee damage sucks. Hard to break poise. I may respec to use godslayer again but tbh, I may just use a different weapon and build it for black flame tornado or something that hits hard I can enchant
The point is the spam the weapon art as much as you can it melts everything especially Melania you can keep her staggered forever, makes her a walk in the park.
I’m looking to try a faith build i may try some of these out. What’s your recommending starting class? Doesn’t really mean much i guess if your going past the meta of 150 if your pve
What a wonderful guide. May I ask though, why does the Confessor build need 18 STR? Trying to figure out if there's anything in his gear that needs that. Thank you!
All very nice to know where we should put our early points, but a lot of the stuff is endgame. What items & equipment would you advise in the early games for your builds?
Hey ColdBwoyy, I wanted to ask, with sorcery tactics that mages use to get around the erdtree greatshield’s golden retaliation, like Eternal Darkness and probably Thops barrier (I think Thop’s barrier could deflect Golden Retaliation but not sure) - can Thop’s barrier and Eternal Darkness deflect lightning? I doubt eternal darkness could do anything against a honed bolt, but not sure about a lightning spear. Also with Thop’s barrier potentially knocking the lightning to one side, I’m not sure if Thop’s barrier could do anything against the honed bolt. I love using lightning man but I’m wondering how it would fair against those sorceries! Hope all is well! ⚡️💪🔥
Great video thanks! @ColdBwoyy, for the 2nd build based on Holy, what's a good replacement for Shard of Alexander? I'm going into NG+4 and didn't ever finish the jar's quest. Since it's not available until late late game, any suggestions on a replacement talisman? Thanks!

@@nelson_rebel3907 I wish there was a way to balance things in PvP and PvE separately. Some of the things that are "broken" in PvP are actually really useful and helpful in PvP. Also, rather than "reigning in" one aspect of the game, I wish the devs would just buff everything else up to its level. That way, build diversity THRIVES.
I have never been a fan of nerfing things into the ground. It's just really lazy and deflating.
Have you heard of a one shot skill? Burn o flame and ancient dragon lightning strike both one shot a lot of bosses and they would fit perfectly. Also i would infuse the uchikatana that is not being effected by vyke's dragonbolt with lightning affinity for extra damage.
Ever thought of a faith int build
Have prince of death staff and Sword of N&F
Vigor 45
Mind 40
End 25
Str 16
Dex 16
Int 80
Fai 80
Arc 14
I primarily use glintstone sorceries like glintstone stars and spiral shard, Ancient death rancor is also very good. I have a glintstone scarab as my headpiece to lower FP consumption while have the glintstone sorcery set to up glintstone dmg
I managed to get my lightning spear to do 900+ damage per hit late game. I like it cause it's fast. Appreciate this video. Faith builds for life!
@isaacthelastn7248 can i see your attributes if you don’t mind?
Finally a faith vid thank you for the builds these are amazing
I appreciate you Edward 💯
Great video man, well guided and easy to follow. Thank you
Glad you liked it!
Great builds. Thanks. Would like to see this game provide the option to save builds that one can readily swap in and out.
Thanks Mike 💪🏼
Definetly will try your lightning build it seems so satisfying
Let me know how it goes!
@@ColdBwoyy which class should i choose at start?
I'm definitely trying this builds out as well, nice video as always
Thanks Savage 💪🏼
Sick dude! I’ve been looking for a new build to try and I decided to go with the lightning god build it’s so sick. Question though! Why uchigatanas and not nagakibas considering they’re pretty much the same but with a bigger hit box? Either way, sick builds dude there’s my subscription keep up the good work.
Just a placeholder until I get 2! Thank you for the sub 💯🙏
smart man
FINALLY! I was waiting for this 😆
Really appreciate the structure of your guides. Cheers.
Thank you so much 🙏
finally someone who knows how to make a guide, shows what stuff do and explaining instead of just "put this on and go burrrrr"
Nice build but if I were you, use spiked cracked tear. It enhances charged attacks since most of the op spells/weapons are mainly gonna be charged damage. I wouldn't worry about fp tbh. That's what your flask are for. I've played to a build pretty close this and I've been either one shotting or nearly one shotting bosses
Thanks for the tip 💪🏼
Spiked cracked tear only works with charged heavy attacks though, not spells and skills.
I dont know if any one else caught this in the intro but the soundtrack he’s uses is the Hunters dream soundtrack in Bloodborne
Yes it is 💪🏼
Ngl I accidentally made the first build by accident months ago, it's so insanely powerful
Same basically except I'm using the magma wyrm sword. Just started using my incantations more... I'm so glad I went faith lol
Went the same way after around half of my first playthrough and it was bonkers, I wanted to be STR with a little bit of faith, but as time went by I understood that more faith is the way and incantations absolutely obliterated bosses
Used the holy confesser build in the dlc and oh my god it works wonders
The bolt doesn't scale with Faith though. Even though its lightning damage, like most weapon affinities, it scales with what it scales with including its ability. Therefore, the bolt will scale with AR making faith a useless stat outside of specific incantations. If that's the case, then why Faith at 45 on the third build @ 150? Unless I am missing something?
Faith isn’t affecting the Bolt of Gransax. It’s increasing the damage of your lightning incantations. That’s why dex and faith are both at 45. High damage incantations + high damage bolt of gransax and uchigatanas.
@@ColdBwoyy That’s what I figured, it was for the incantations. Good deal then.
I too am obsessed with making builds. If you want to bump heads and chop it up at some point, let me know. I know an embarrassing amount of information regarding build development and stat scaling / applications.
@max omalley It would allow the weapon to be viable in a straight Faith build which would be super fitting IMO. Right now, I’m working on an all faith build. I almost have it as synergized as my fire build (Jesus that build is so much fun), but there are a few weapons I wish scaled with it that would fit the theme really nicely. Nevertheless, 80 faith brings with it some fun as hell randomness. 2k fireballs is funny af.
@@limitedhangoutlive You could make a youtube channel with that.
@@antonsten626 I wanted to, especially since there are so many RUclips channels that post terrible builds (unlike this one), don't understand how the affinities are effectual, and/or how to tweak stat distribution to ensure a weapon's AR is maxed with the calculator. A good video I thought of making, was how to actually make a build to begin with. Once you understand that, its really fun to tinker around with the calculations of a few weapons and themes.
But, I started Elden Ring months late as I was finishing some other games and I don't think it would get the traction I'd like it to. I'm just not sure the game is active enough to warrant yet another channel.
people are sleeping on the ornamental straight swords because if you 2 hand it you instead get 2 then use the golden tempering unique ash of war on it then do a charged R2 you do like a 9-11 hit combo it's insane you can probably buff it with axe talisman shard of Alexander and sacred scorpion charm so it's absolutely insane
The sword of night and flame does all the blasphemous blade can do and it does magic dmg too, with it upgraded to +8 and buffed, it can do 1000 dmg
But your wasting a toooon of points on intelligence, which you won't be using, because sorcery doesn't go well with incantations
Faith strength build is the best !!!!! Love your videos brother I am on new game plus 7 . I got over 600 hours in this game no game can compare except Dark souls 3. Damn I’m using the wrong seal . I was using the giants seal
I appreciate the support Shane 💪🏼
Definitely better seals to use than the Erdtree seal depending on which type of incantations you're using. Erdtree is great for a non-themed combination of incarnations though. Great video!
What would be a better seal then?
No your wrong. Erdtree seal is the best seal in the game overall. Yes it's true that it's not the hardest hitting at first but upgrade your faith and the seal and overtime it can beat out anything cause of the S scaling. The best way to cast lightning is with buffs like talismans and also erdtree in right hand the lightning rock seal in off hand.
@@L4Disillusion the reason erdtree seal is good is because you dont need to level anything else than faith but there are plenty of double scaling talismans that beat it eventually and builds that you are gonna be playing in ng+ probably makes better use of those ones for example a dragon communion seal is very good if you are already using arcane for your weapons golden order is pretty good if you are playing a mix of int and faith utilising night and flame or something
Oil pot for flame is good too……throw it first then for attack adds heaps (as the oil burns)
I really like your builds, they're pretty amazing. You think, you could do a best strength build ? I'm currently working on a strength build, with Giant crusher and jump attacks. I have five different builds at the moment on different accounts and every one of them is or is working towards on of your best builds in every category. Keep it up 😉👌🏻
Good idea! Thanks 🙏
Love the bloodborn music in the background
Thank you 💪🏼
Bolt of Gransax scales more off dex then faith. Otherwise, agreed its been my favorite build so far! Super smooth weapon
Correct 👍🏻 this is why dex and faith are both 45
It's also a fantastic pvp stuff
If you make it late game and have high faith strength and dexterity, I think the frenzied flame seal actually scales the highest! (I’m pretty sure)
Also the kings cragblade is another fun lightning weapon with one of the sickest ash of wars in the game
Subscribed bc hell yeah you explain stuff so well you also taught me on int build
Thank you Jay! 💯
Very good video production! Cheers ✊🏽
Great video, thanks! Also appreciate the Hunter’s Dream soundtrack ❤
Love the Bloodborne background music 🎶👌🏻
Thank you!
Tired of the classic pure strenght and i gave a try to faith and its like a hole new game for me. thank you very much!
made my day, thank you friend
Thanks for watching 😁
My first run was a N&F build. I think I’ll run Raider this time around. Looks fun
For the dragon scale knight build, for talismans, I use the ritual sword talisman which gives you a damage buff if you have max health instead the great shield one, mainly because the blasphemous blade ash heals when you hit something, so you always have that max hp buff
I would use Godfrey icon since most of his incantations are charged
Been playing around with my own Faith/Dexterity setup as well. Bolt of Gransax is a blessing to deal with roll dodges. The animation for its L2 is extremely long even with high Dexterity. Its very rare to be able to land it. But the passive lightning damage is nice for high physical defense setups.
Funny enough the only L2 (besides of course ROB) that I've been landing consistently is from Wave of Gold. People dont seem to quite know what to do sometimes and end up rolling right into the damage.
What does dexterity do really? I don’t understand half the stats tbh
@@yuryur6022 increased casting speed of incantations and sorceries, makes you less likely to get knocked of Torrent, and scales damage with dexterous weapons (daggers, katana type swords, etc. NOT heavy weapons like hammers and clubs).
Most weapons will scale with dex and strength to varying degrees, and then faith or intelligence.
The magma wyrm sword is also a pretty good sword. Don't know what area of the game you get the other 2, but the magma sword is relatively mid-early game
Great weapon 👍🏻 Thanks for watching!
@@ColdBwoyy no problem, Thank you for the dope vids 😎
I didn't love the weapon art on the weapon
@@bryceskow6846 really? I have it at I think +6 rn and the ashe hits for around 1k and you can do it twice. Sometimes you get punished but I try to use it as a finisher. It's also nice in pvp because they can walk into it and take full dmg a second after lol.
I'm definitely going to max it out till I get another faith weapon. I do want something quicker tho. Plus I don't even have the right tailsmans yet lol
@@BiIlDipperIy Magma Blade is also in insanely good. If you want something that isn't as slow and isn't so easy to punish, try Flame Strike on one of your weapons that doesn't have a set Ash of War.
on the last build instead of two uchis you can also do the bloodflame nagakiba bc the bloodflame scales on faith i think
Question ??? You show one Blasphemous Blade build with the Erd Tree Seal and another one with Gravel stone Seal ?? Which is better at Faith 80 scaling ?? Can you not stack these these seals, one in each hand ?? Loving the videos !!
Erd tree seal seems to give the most damage for your incantations. Thanks for watching 💪🏼
@@ColdBwoyy Can you stack Seals ??
Broadsword with bloody slash, gravel stone seal with lightning spear, appropriate talismans, and very heavy armor.
Thx for the tips. I ng+3 on a INT build and it got boring (tryna get the final Fia and Corhyn endings). Why not get these two on a Faith build?
🤝
Three main dmg types you get from fth: fire, lightning, and holy... Dmg types of a Quality: Physical and cold... Int: magic and cold... Arc: poison, occult, dragon incants, and bleed. Have fun with the info my fellow Goldbros
love your vids man
Thank you so much 🙏
Greetings, first off thank you so much for your videos, they help me out a lot. My question is on your Thunder God Lightning Build you suggest going dual uchigatanas. I followed your build and did not start as a Samarai which gives you one to start with, I got the one in Deathtouch Catacombs, how or where to get the second uchigatana to dual wield. Thank you for any feedback to help me out with this.
I’m testing out the lightning build, and if I charge the katana with Vyke’s, it does about the same damage as if I use an ash of war with lightning affinity. So why not just use the lightning affinity? Saves having to scroll through spells to find and re-apply it. Curious why you didn’t choose that and went for the more complicated option.
it gives you more lee-way if you want to add other options into the mix, such as giving your weapons different charges for specific fights essentially.
Also adding Lightning Affinity lowers the Dex scaling which is not what you want
Man the lightning God 😍😍😍. This build is the best one
Thx a lot. Good job:)
Coldbwoyy uploaded and I dropped everything
Let’s go 💪🏼🔥 I appreciate you
@@ColdBwoyy Yessirrr new mage build soon? Love the mage builds really been wanting to try a gravity mage or Astro mage soon
sick editing style
Thanks 💪🏼
I like using some of those weapons situationally or for rune farming when needed. I’d get bored out of my mind spamming one op move lol
Armour combo looks awesome
Thanks 💪🏼
thanks to this guide i was able to beat elden beast solo for the first time, that first build is awesome. my mimic was even able to last the entire fight, and normally thast dumbass is as bad as me.
Dope channel, subbed
Very good video. Most elden ring build videos don't show stats or have unrealistically high attributes. This does not.
Thank you 🙏
"these build are totally S tier as soon as you hit level 250 at ng+6 trust me bro, definitely meta builds!"
Really enjoying these videos! Would love for you to name some early game items and weapons along With the stats:-)
Dual wield blasphemous blade and sacred order blade and max out FTH with about 30 dex. The ridiculous combination of these two weapon arts on one build will destroy everything.
Love when dragon lightning miss 3 times in a row, feels so polished.
How does he have so many points for level 253 for the 1st two builds? my character at level 253 doesn't have nearly as many?
Starting as a wretch or a class that’s a lower lvl
dude nice builds, but flame grant me strenght is overwrited by vyke's dragonbolt, you have to use electric weapon to use them both at the same time, or if you wanna the red lightning effect you need to use vyks first and then flame grant me strenght but you loose the weight effect of vykes spell
Thanks for the tip! 💯
@@ColdBwoyy you'r welcome :D
If larvae tears weren’t finite I’d try all of them , getting bored of rivers of blood bleed and want to try some casting but all look fun
Would be nice to have an early, mid and late game equipment considering most of these weapons are late game options
Dude, for the thunder god build. what starting class did you use?
What class would you start with for the Thunder God build at the beginning?
I love using the Blas blade as it heals you when enemies take hits so that’s a great bonus as I suck with a few of the bosses 😊😊😊
I use a mix of all three of those faith builds but primarily Dex faith
Something is off with the stat allocation on the Holy Confessor. Distributing the stats as you suggest gets you to level 313, not 253. Otherwise excellent builds, though. Expecially the Thundergod is one hell of a blast.
Edit: on the second to last point of stat allocation, where you explain those for level 150, the stats on the left are those for level 253. It's just the final step where they are off.
Final Edit: you have Marika equipped and probably Godricks Rune active, thats what caused my confusion, soryy about that...
I’m using blasphemous, but I feel like the range and melee damage sucks. Hard to break poise. I may respec to use godslayer again but tbh, I may just use a different weapon and build it for black flame tornado or something that hits hard I can enchant
The point is the spam the weapon art as much as you can it melts everything especially Melania you can keep her staggered forever, makes her a walk in the park.
sounds like you haven't leveled it to 10 or you shouldn't be having any problems at all
Which build is the best for level 90 and i like your videos cause you put all levels in it❤
Do you guys have any idea with what to remplace the katanas for the Thunder God build ?
I’m looking to try a faith build i may try some of these out. What’s your recommending starting class? Doesn’t really mean much i guess if your going past the meta of 150 if your pve
Any starting class will work. Look for the one with the highest faith starting attribute 👍🏻
new player here, what starting class are those builds? or what to choose?
What a wonderful guide. May I ask though, why does the Confessor build need 18 STR? Trying to figure out if there's anything in his gear that needs that. Thank you!
idk rlly, maybe just for a bit more damage when strength is a certain level it goes up like 150
18:45 gives you all the info you need for his builds
Straight up “Big Trouble Little China” build at end.
All very nice to know where we should put our early points, but a lot of the stuff is endgame. What items & equipment would you advise in the early games for your builds?
what class do i go if i want to go the thunder god lighting build
Samurai
Hey ColdBwoyy,
I wanted to ask, with sorcery tactics that mages use to get around the erdtree greatshield’s golden retaliation, like Eternal Darkness and probably Thops barrier (I think Thop’s barrier could deflect Golden Retaliation but not sure) - can Thop’s barrier and Eternal Darkness deflect lightning? I doubt eternal darkness could do anything against a honed bolt, but not sure about a lightning spear. Also with Thop’s barrier potentially knocking the lightning to one side, I’m not sure if Thop’s barrier could do anything against the honed bolt. I love using lightning man but I’m wondering how it would fair against those sorceries!
Hope all is well! ⚡️💪🔥
What use at beginning? Some grateswords, before blasphemous blade?
i am a bit late but is uchikatana the best option? Isnt double nagakiba or double dragonscale blade better? Btw Great Video and ty❤
Great video thanks! @ColdBwoyy, for the 2nd build based on Holy, what's a good replacement for Shard of Alexander? I'm going into NG+4 and didn't ever finish the jar's quest. Since it's not available until late late game, any suggestions on a replacement talisman? Thanks!
Love the thunder lightining build, but it's a end game build that needs a NG+ to complete the build ..
Does the thunder god build still work well at lvl150 compared to other builds? Or does it have to be lvl250 to really stand out in your opinion?
Works great at level 150 👍
Dual wielding blasphemous blade and sword of Milos gives you health and FP back 👀
Did anyone else think he him the hard r when he said viger( btw this video was so helpful and a like the thunder god build)
Would the lightning katana also work well on this build?
