What's the most relaxing build in Elden Ring?
Greatshield+spear with mimic tear. Literally the most braindead easy build ever.
greatswordjust bonk everything to death and easily stagger enemies
/v/eddit just talks about the same handful of games everyday huh
>>736455840Guard counter tankgawd
my wife's sword Darkmoon GS
>>736455840My comfort build is Godslayer's Greatsword with lots of DEX and FAI.
>>736455840some sort of tanky build, no doubt. Maybe a tanky caster build that uses summons.
Level each stat equally
>>736456352I tried that but it only looks good aesthetically when zoomed in to see the details. Ugly swirly thing from normal perspective
>>736455840Just making a tanky build and using prayerful strike, it's my favorite build. Just tanking and poising through hits and healing it all, and getting a lot of stance breaks since it also does a lot of stagger damage. I also use the cerulean dagger talisman to recover FP when I do critical strikes. Or just use the talisman you find in the DLC expansion that gives FP regeneration over time. Only downside is the attack is pretty slow and you miss a lot.
Elon Musk build
>>736457012Why did people hate this again? Outside of low vigor and heavy load.
>>736455840Faith build that uses multi spirit summons like Mausoleum soldiers
>>736457082Moonveil PTSD
>>736457082>Outside of low vigor and heavy load.that was basically it. He was probably showing off the main shields he uses or something. as far as noob build goes its actually not that bad. pvp autists who minmax around pvp will have an aneurysm if you show them it though
>>736457249The one that summons 5 demi-humans is GOAT. Me and the boys at it again.
>>736455840Post it again award.
>>736457012>>736457082he's a fraud. somebody plays most of the game for him.
>>736455840Sword and board VagabondBeat tutorial bossBeat golden horse boySpend all runes on EndKill Bernhal instantly, get perfect drip and defenseez
>>736456458>214 attribute points at level 40Y'know, maybe I'll give the Grafted Sword a try. I always kinda wanted to use it but didn't. But seeing a combination of +5 to all attributes from the Grafted Blade and +5 from Godrick's rune looks pretty neat. Though I wonder if it's more of an early game thing.
literally every fancy well thought build gets raped to death by a basic strength + vigor/endurance build
>>736457548The only annoying thing is the rune arcs. The great runes are the most bafflingly bad decision they made in an otherwise really good game. I get what they were going for conceptually but the actual execution was so fucking bad. A lot of people finished the game without even knowing they were a thing.
>>736457548weapon art is still good late game because its basically endure but lasts a little longer, also has less recovery frames than endure typically does on a colossal sword iirc. also +10 to stats fromweapon/rune means you can use a lot of int/fth buffs with 0 stat investment. though for grafted/endure run i would probabkly use malenias rune for the DLC
>>736457763I made a build with 80 int and 80 faith to minmax the most powerful staff in the game and cast the most powerful spells and incantations in the game, but it's still just "okay" compared to unga bunga powerstanced pickaxes on a strength build with less than half the stat investment.
>>736457763Every item in this game except wooden stick is completely and utterly pointless. In the time you cast one spell you could have bonked the enemy 3 times for more damage. In the time you get 1 colossal weapon hit off you can bonk 3 times for more damage. There is no point to any of it. Every item, every spell and every piece of armor is a psyop.
>>736455840guard counter bigshield
>>736457548You are not taking that much damage without stacking levels.
>>736458123*AHEM*
>>736458123I'll see your wooden stick and raise you rock stick.>same speed>same moveset>more bonk
>>736457439Still mad about them patching out the 3rd alt version of Bernhal's armor
>>736455840Full Int.>Carian Slicer available in Limgrave>Can run straight to Rock Sling+Meteorite Staff without even having to fight anything>Tons of ways to boost magic damage>Spells cover various different ways to attack, not limited to just spamming magic projectiles>Several great weapon choices including MLGS which hits crazy hard>Multiple ways of trivializing practically every encounter in the game>Even gets the best parry in the game
elite knight setsome straight swordquality buildno magic or any gay shitjust sword and shieldive beat every souls game running this and only this
>>736455840Fat fuck
>>736459806Night Maiden's Mist is such a nice little problem solver.Cannon of Haima, too.Then, for mid-range enemies/ unofficial minibosses, you can chain Carian Piercer at full charge if it knocks down, and half charge if it staggers.Pretty fun, but at 35 Vig late game, I'm starting to run into the limitations of the Spellblade.
>>736457429>a billionaire fakes liking videogames to be liked by...whom? i doubt it was gamers. stocks manipulation?
>>736456032This, grind the greatshield from the spear dudes in the early game and it will unironically be enough until you can use the 30+ STR ones, then just use whatever other STR weapon you like, or invest into FTH as well and rape everything while being safe behind your massive fucking shield. Don't forget that guard counters have as much stagger as a charged R2 too.
>slash>strike>pierceDoes it really matter when deciding weapons and armor?
>>736464241Nah, only when you come up against the occasional enemy with very high defense to one of the three. Even then you could just be stubborn and not care about it and won't suffer much.
>>736464241>weaponsNot really. Technically enemies do have strengths and weaknesses, but they're all pretty minor. You're not likely to notice unless you extensively test various weapons against the same enemy. The only enemy with a real night and day kind of physical weakness off the top of my head is miners vs strike.>armorNo. The numbers are way too small for it to ever be noticeable, and the damage reduction of armor is already hard to notice most of the time anyway.
>>736464937>>736465076cheers anons
>>736458123>In the time you get 1 colossal weapon hit off you can bonk 3 times for more damageon the contrary, i can do 5k damage and stagger an enemy in my first 3 hitsyou get thrown around like a ragdoll and are capped at doing like 900 damage IF you get those 3 hits in
>>736464937>>736465076This is correct but its worth trying to take advantage of enemy weaknesses anyway, like rusted anchor being pure pierce is a big reason why its so good as tons of enemies are wearing heavy armor. Also anything undead is going to crumble to strike which Id say helps a lot vs. Putresence knight or the ghostflame drakes in the DLC
>>736457082that and having soreseal equipped at a triple digit rune level
>>736456462I have been doing this. I’m at level 48-50 on each stat. AMA.
>>736455840The level 300 doing everything build.Rune farming is so easy you have to actively not spend runes to level up. The fact I didn't farm once and I reached lvl 173 while PvP fags were going on about 100 or 125 max for endgame invasions.
>>736468271There's nothing wrong with this if you accept the drawbacks.
