Elden Ringplayers can choose from various builds and fully customize their playstyle. They can use different types of weapons and spells, and almost every build seems viable to a certain degree.Elden Ringis a massive game, and it’s possible to get bored of using the same equipment throughout the dozens of hours of playtime.
A user named Leesinmain1992 shares fourthematic builds forElden Ringfor players to try out. They mention that they find New Game+ boring, so these builds are designed around fresh runs after the first playthrough. Each build has a detailed image showing stat distribution, recommended equipment, and spells or weapon skills. The builds are further divided into three categories for early, mid, and late-game. Leesinmain1992 also mentions the suggested level range for each of the three categories.

First up is the Blind Zealot build, which primarily centers aroundlightning damage inElden Ring. Players need to start as the Prophet class and focus on leveling up their Faith and Dexterity. By endgame, they should have several lightning incantations in their arsenal, including Fortissax’s Lightning Spear and Ancient Dragons' Lightning Strike.
The next one features a dual-wielding warrior who starts asElden Ring’s Hero class. Players should focus on improving their Strength and aim to get Blaidd’s Set by the end of their run. Unlike the previous build, Leesinmain1992 recommends using various melee skills such as Lion’s Claw and Lifesteal Fist.
Thirdly is the Dexterity build called Blue Dancer. Players can choose from variousElden Ringcurved swords, and it emphasizes building up the bleed status effect. The fourth build is called Death Knight, which uses Twinblades, Spears, and Flails as the primary weapons. The information is presented in an easy-to-understand manner and features different options for alternate pieces of equipment. Many players appreciate the work Leesinmain1992 put into these builds and agree with their statement aboutElden Ring’s New Game+being boring.
However, some players have an issue with how much Vigor Leesinmain1992 recommends. Each of the four builds shows the Vigor stat set to 40 during late-game, and users think that number is too low. Leesinmain1992 thinks that 40 Vigor is enough to survive hits, but others argue that players should level it to over 50 to be on the safe side. Users especially recommendnewcomers to FromSoftware gamesto level up their Vigor as much as possible to survive the boss battles.
Elden Ringis available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
