Elden Ring has many potential weapons, spells, and abilities. Picking an effective and fun build to play with can be difficult. Here is a list of the best strength builds to try.

3 – Holy Shield

The build Sacred Shield focuses on Mohgwyn’s holy spear and the unique Blood Blessing Ritual Capability. This weapon deals physical and fire damage and increases blood loss. The White Mask further increases your damage when Blood Leak is applied. This build also uses the Flame, give me strength Summon as it boosts physical damage and fire damage, which are the two main damage types of this weapon. You will primarily attack while holding your shield up – as Mohgwyn’s holy spear is a penetrating weapon, you can attack while still holding your cover. Blood Blessing Ritual is a massive AOE attack that causes blood explosions. Carian filigree coat of arms reduces the cost of Blood Blessing Ritual skill while the Shard of the Alexander Talisman increases its damage.
