Build Lightning Confessor of the Ancient Dragons
The incantation “Elder Dragon Bolt” is undoubtedly one of the best there is in Elden Ring, at least offensively speaking. This build will focus around the latter to rain down lightning and damage on enemies who get in your way.
Type: DistanceMain stat: FaithStarting class: ConfessorDiscover the Dragonbolt Confessor build
Build Esotericism Sleep
Esotericism is a statistic that can be very strong if you plan to play on state alterations. This is good, because this is precisely the case of this build which will focus on putting your opponents to sleep to be able to defeat them more easily.

Build Caria Slicer Astrologer
Who said that Astrologer can only be played in distance build? Indeed, this build is based around the spell “Caria Slicer” which will be amplified by the “Magic Domain” to inflict heavy damage which will certainly be magical, but in close combat.

Build Lifesteal Main Agrippée
For this build, you will play around a mechanic which is ultimately not that used in the game, but may be worth it, especially if you plan to get into the PvP part. This mechanic is the steal of life which not only allows you to inflict damage, but also to heal you for part of it.
Type: MeleeMain stat: DexterityStarting class: Warrior or SamuraiDiscover the Lifesteal grab hand build
Build Blasphemous Blade
The Blasphemous Blade is one of the best weapons in Elden Ring and has been since the start of the game. We therefore offer you here a build which will revolve around the latter and in particular its war ash which offers good damage, but also Theft of life.
Type: Mainly Ranged Primary Stat: Faith Starting Class: Confessor Discover the Blasphemous Blade build
Build Poison Golden Oath
Poison is one of those status ailments that is not very popular in Elden Ring, but that doesn't mean it's impossible to play with. This is also what we are offering you to do with this build which will revolve around the application of poison.
Type: Melee Main stat: Dexterity Starting class: Samurai or Warrior Discover the Poison Golden Oath build
Build Moonveil
Like the Blasphemous Blade, the Moonveil, or Lunar Eclipse in French, is one of those weapons that has been at the top of the meta for a while. This build will therefore offer you the opportunity to play around it, its war ashes, but also spells!
Type: Mainly Ranged Primary Stat: Intelligence/Faith Starting Class: Astrologer Discover the Moonveil build
Build Arcane Magie Draconique
The Draconic Communion spells, in addition to being effective, have a design that is rather nice. So, if you too are attracted to them, we suggest you discover this build which will allow you to use them during your adventures.

Build Frost
Freezing, or Frost in Vo, is one of the most impactful status conditions on Elden Ring. It was therefore impossible for us not to offer you a build that touches on the latter and the Guardian Sword-Spear!

Build Bleed Melee
The Melee Bleeding build with a weapon that allows you to tap quickly to raise this condition is a classic. We invite you to discover a version which will be based on the Bloody Spiral, a very pleasant weapon to play.

Build Black Flame
Black Flame Sorceries have some pretty crazy power on Elden Ring and have for quite a while now. You guessed it, the build that we are going to present to you here will use these to inflict heavy black fire damage on enemies.
Type: Mixed Main stat: Dexterity Starting class: Warrior or Samurai Discover the Black Flame build
Build Arc
When we think about the different types of weapons in Elden Ring, we often tend to forget about bows. However, they are quite viable and can allow you to quickly do great damage to your enemies. The proof with this build based on a giant bow.

Build Bleed Distance
We told you a little earlier, melee bleeding builds with a fast weapon are very common. Except that here, we are going to offer you a rather distanced build which will still allow you to easily inflict damage on your enemies on the battlefield.

Build Mage One-shot
The One-shot Mage is one of the great classics of Elden Ring builds. If the combo is not always easy to place depending on the bosses, it is formidable when it hits and can perfectly kill in a single hit. We tell you more about how to play it in this build.

Build Spinning Weapon
