Elden Ring: Choose The Ten Best Incantations To Do More Damage In Endgame!

Anvil Hammer is a new weapon added in Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, and it is also a very powerful weapon. As a Colossal Weapon, its moves are relatively slow, but its excellent damage data and high AOE damage make up for this shortcoming. Before you use Anvil Hammer, you need to make sure you have enough skill points to invest in Strength. only then can the Anvil Hammer reach its full potential. If you haven’t figured out how to build the best build for it, follow the steps in this guide and build the best build for various situations you encounter step by step. Strengths And Disadvantages Overall, the biggest power of Anvil Hammer is that it can cause a lot of Stagger Damage, coupled with high Poise Damage, which allows you to break most bosses’ postures in a simple 2-3 normal attacks. It is worth mentioning that with Hammer category of weapons, whether you use a light swing, a heavy attack, or a charged attack, every swing can break the enemy’s posture. You can use this type of weapon to face some hard-to-lock bosses in the DLC, such as Curseblades or Fire Knights, who will faint on the ground after you hit them. Having talked about the advantages, now let’s talk about the disadvantages. In addition to being too heavy and only being able to perform slow moves, there are really no other disadvantages. But you can help reduce the impact of this weakness through subsequent stat allocation or matching Elden Ring Items. Stats Allocation As mentioned earlier, Strength and Faith are the two most important attributes of Anvil Hammer. However, in terms of priority, Strength is more important than Faith. Besides these two stats, you also need to invest a little in Intelligence and Dexterity, but these two stats will not affect the damage output of the weapon, so you can choose. The remaining stats should be used on Vigor to increase your health. Or you can choose to put it on Endurance to help you increase endurance and weight. In addition, investing 25 in Mind can get more value from this weapon’s skill Smithing Art Spears, because it only costs 18 FP. Once you’re over level 150, you can focus on Strength and get it to 80, Faith to 60, and Vigor to 60. If gear load-out becomes an issue, it’s also a good idea to prioritize Endurance until you find a better with your armor of choice. Best Talismans Using Anvil Hammer with both hands will trigger Two-Handed Sword Talisman, which will help you increase your damage by 15%. For Shard of Alexander, you can use Ash of War Smithing Art Spears to burst out critical hits. This will allow you to end the fight more easily and obtain Elden Ring Runes faster. Two-Headed Turtle Talisman is a quality-of-life addition that allows you to restore your stamina at a very amazing rate, which will help you in some long-term battles. The above are your must-haves, but you can also choose some amulets for special combat situations. For example, Crimson Seed Talisman +1 will increase the amount of healing you receive from Flasks by 30%, which can help you when Vigor exceeds 60. In addition, if you plan to use Anvil Hammer and some shields for guard counterattacks, then Curved Sword Talisman is definitely your best choice. Best Incantations First, since it is a Faith-based build, Golden Vow and Flame, Grant me Strength are the best choices, because they can directly enhance your damage output and resistance. In addition, I want to tell you that Anvil Hammer is one of the few weapons in the game that has fire damage, so after you use these Incantations to enhance it, your fire damage will be immeasurable. For other Incantations, you can choose Electrocharge, so that you can passively enhance the damage when you use Anvil Hammer with two hands. Or Pest-Thread Spears can also provide you with a can’t miss ranged option, which is an easy way to deal with some agile enemies. Best Seal In fact, the choice of Seal is closely related to the choice of Incantations. If you don’t want to keep switching, you can directly choose Clawmark Seal, because it is very useful for both Strength and Faith builds. Best Crystal Tears In Elden Ring DLC, Flask of Wondrous Physick is mainly used in some tough boss battles to increase your chances of winning the battle. With this in mind, you can choose these two Crystal Tears to help you complete the battle. When you use Deflecting Hardtear, your spontaneous defense in the hybrid physics will be significantly increased, and it will last for 5 minutes. When you choose Greenspill Crystal Tear, your stamina in the hybrid physics will be temporarily increased for 3 minutes. You can also use your usual Crystal Tears instead of Greenspill Crystal Tear, which will have a different effect, but the 15% increase in base stamina will leave you with a little stamina after you are hit, which you may be able to used to counterattack or even defeat the enemy directly. After reading this guide, have you opened your game and decided to change your build? Hopefully, you can use Anvil Hammer effectively in combat and explore Elden Ring DLC! If you encounter any problems during the build process, you are welcome to come to iGMeet Discord to ask for help from the gamers. I’m sure they will be very happy to help you, and you will also have a chance to get some Elden Ring Runes as a bonus!

While Elden Ring isn’t really a game that allows for full player expression and creativity, it does allow you to customize your builds to your liking, giving you a great deal of freedom. The game world and boss fights may play out in much the same way, but you can use different play styles and builds to handle different situations. There are a lot of options for a variety of playability in this game. After the release of Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, things got even better, as the new DLC provides players with a ton of new weapons and amulets that work perfectly with items in the base game, allowing you to achieve extraordinary builds. But if you’ve already tried a lot of ordinary builds, check out this guide to get some new build ideas. It should be noted that these builds may only be suitable for the DLC at the moment, and we will continue to follow up on the builds in the base game later! Perfumer Build Perfumer Build seems to have been nerfed in the latest patch, but this build based on the new DLC can easily reduce the health of the boss. In this build, you can combine the fully upgraded Lightning Perfume Bottle and Rolling Sparks Ash of War to give you huge lightning damage. And add Lightning Shrouding Cracked Tear and Lightning Scorpion Charm to deal even more damage to enemies! Perfumer Build is actually an Arcane spellcaster build, so you don’t need to invest in intelligence and arcane here. In addition, the weapons based on this build do not rely on Ash of War or Spells, so you don’t need a lot of FP. Rakshasa Bleed Build If you want to face the final boss of the DLC and be able to defeat it easily, then you can definitely try Rakshasa Bleed Build. This is a high risk but high reward build that relies heavily on your high mobility. Your rewards will be a large number of Elden Ring Runes and special weapons and armor. In this build, you can use Rakshsha’s Set and Bloodsucking Cracked Tear, trading lower defense for more damage. Secondly, Rakshaha’s Great Katana will also use its own bleed build up to help you end the battle quickly. In combat, if you are used to ranged attacks, you may not be suitable for this build, but if you enjoy the excitement of close combat, you will definitely like Rakshasa Bleed Build. Bloodfiend Bonk Stick Build Next up is a bleed build, and even if you’ve tried many bleed options, Bloodfiend Bonk Stick Build will definitely give you a fresh feel. In this build, Bloodfiend’s Arm is a weapon that can provide you with huge physical damage, and it also bursts out arcane-driven bleed damage when charging attacks. In addition, you equip Two-Handed Sword Talisman and Axe Talisman, plus Viridian Hidden Tear, and you can participate in almost every battle in DLC. As the battle progresses, your bleed effects will also begin, and the enemy’s health will be reduced unknowingly. Ancient Meteoric Build If you use this build during Ruined Forge Starfall Past, it is equivalent to finding a very powerful weapon in the entire DLC. This not only can cause a lot of damage, but it can also extend to your strength and arcane attributes. In addition to this, you can use Solitude Set and Verdigis Discus to give you a little more defense and make you more tanky. Secondly, you can also use White Light Charge Ash of War to give yourself the icing on the cake, which is very useful when you face large enemies. Backhand Blade Dex Build Although you need to start searching for Scorched Ruins as soon as you enter the DLC. Backhand Blade in this area may not look so outstanding, but if you dare to take the risk, you will find that Ash of War of this weapon-Blind Spot, which makes Backhand Blade Dex Build a very interesting build. It should be reminded that in order to avoid excessive use of Blind Spot and over-consume your own stamina, you can use Greenburst Tear or Two-Headed Turtle Talisman to protect your own health. You can also apply some blood fat on the weapon to increase these weapons, and you will have a very fast-paced but smooth build that makes it impossible for the enemy to catch you. Iron Dancer Build Iron Dancer Build is somewhat similar to Backhand Blade Build, in that both builds are meant to hit as many enemies as possible. Unlike Backhand Blade Build, however, this build relies more heavily on the strength and defense provided by Ironjar Aromatic. It may make you heavier overall when you equip these consumables, but you’ll have a delicate balance. You don’t have to worry about your movement speed, though, because Ash of War Unending Dance of this weapon lets you dish out rapid, continuous damage to your enemies. Often you’re only able to whittle down their health bit by bit before they can do the same to you. Sure, it removes any nuance or challenge from combat, but there’s no denying that it’s a satisfying, cathartic structure, save for the novelty of melting away an enemy’s health bar. After reading this guide, open the game and enter the DLC to try out some of these new builds! I believe it will definitely give you a surprise, and I wish you a happy exploration!

Curved Swords have always been a staple in Elden Ring, and since the early days of the game, there have been countless players who have liked this weapon. Curved Swords are often linked to Dexterity and are often proportional, making them ideal for use when you are using Bleed builds and swift attacks. Shadow of the Erdtree DLC successfully continues this tradition, and also adds some new weapons to Tarnished’s arsenal, allowing players to better choose different weapons according to different combat situations. This guide will introduce you to some very useful Curved Swords in Shadow of the Erdtree, and you can choose Curved Swords you want in battle at your discretion. Dancing Blade Of Ranah Dancing Blade of Ranah is one of the best Curved Swords in Shadow of the Erdtree, as it scales with your Dexterity. If you want to rely on this attribute to play in the DLC, then Dancing Blade Of Ranah will be a good choice. You can get this powerful weapon by killing Dancer of Ranah in Southern Nameless Mausoleum. But it should be noted that Dancing Blade Of Ranah cannot be enhanced or infused with Ashes of War, and can only be upgraded with Somber Smithing Stones. When you use Dancing Blade Of Ranah, you can actually feel it from the name. Its skill - Unending Dance allows you to initiate a dance-like action and swing the blade while bouncing. When you are surrounded by enemies, you can use it to protect yourself from being approached by enemies. Spirit Sword Spirit Sword is also a new Curved Sword in Shadow of the Erdtree. It looks more powerful than the regular Curved Sword, and in addition to Dexterity, it is also related to Intelligence and even Strength. It has multiple uses and is very cost-effective! In addition, this sword is said to be a medium for communicating with spirits, so in addition to Physical Damage, it can also cause considerable Magic Damage. When you switch from an enemy that cannot resist physical damage to an enemy that is vulnerable to magic damage, you don’t need to change weapons, just use Spirit Sword. Spirit Sword can be found in Cerulean Coast, specifically between Cerulean Coast West and Cerulean Coast Site of Grace. If you see several half-people areas during your exploration, then you are not wrong, which means you are not far from the location of the Spirit Sword. Like the other Curved Swords in this guide, the Spirit Sword cannot be enhanced or infused with Ashes of War, and can only be upgraded with Somber Smithing Stones. Falx Falx is also mainly adjusted by Strength and Dexterity. It is a pair of Curved Swords that can be used in both hands at the same time. When Hornsent invades Rauh Ancient Ruins Site of Grace, you need to defeat it and you will pick up Falx from its corpse. If you like dual-wielding the scimitars of Warrior profession in the DLC and want to try different weapons, then Falx can perfectly match your requirements. Although Falx does not cause Elemental Damage to the enemy, its Physical Damage of up to 107 can make the enemy unable to parry. Its special skill, Revenger’s Blade, allows you to sprint forward a long distance and slash the enemy in the shape of an X. In addition, Falx paired Curved Swords has a passive effect that allows the enemy to accumulate bleeding unconsciously, which is very timesaving and labor-saving. Similarly, it cannot be enhanced. Horned Warrior’s Sword Horned Warrior’s Sword also adjusts its damage primarily through Strength and Dexterity, followed by Faith, and is one of the most complete Curved Swords in Shadow of the Erdtree. This weapon is usually found in the hands of Horned Warriors in the Lands of Shadow. You can choose to kill Horned Warrior in Belurat Tower Settlement swamp to obtain this weapon, or directly obtain it from any Horned Warrior who can wield this weapon. It doesn’t hurt. Like other Curved Swords, it cannot be enhanced or infused with Ashes of War. However, since this is a paired weapon and is also the most powerful part of the build, you only need to find one to get a pair of Horned Warrior’s Swords. Its skill is also very special. When you use Horn Calling, you will drive the sword into the ground and summon a very powerful and piercing horn in front of the enemy, which is very suitable for temporarily incapacitating enemies when they get too close. Horned Warrior’s Greatsword Speaking of some very powerful Curved Greatswords, we have to mention Horned Warrior’s Greatsword, which is much larger and heavier than the regular non-Greatsword version. This means that you need more Strength to pick it up, especially when using it one-handed. Compared to similar weapons, Horned Warrior’s Greatsword does not require farming, and only requires you to defeat Wind-Aspected Horned Warrior at the end of Enir Ilim. Although you can take it to the exchange to exchange for 200 Elden Ring Runes, it is better to keep it. Because not only does it have powerful special skills, especially when used with special amulets such as Millicent’s Prosthesis, it can unleash a lot of damage and even destroy the most powerful enemies, but it also scales equally with Strength, Dexterity, and Faith, making you a very balanced state. Freyja’s Greatsword The last one comes up, but it is definitely not the least important. Freyja’s Greatsword is mainly related to Strength, and secondarily to Dexterity. You will encounter Redmane Freya carrying it many times when exploring Lands of Shadow, but to obtain it, you need to defeat Freyja directly in Enir Ilim. Freyja’s Greatsword weighs 14 and requires your Strength attribute to reach 25, but its Physical Damage is as high as 146, which is very suitable for players who like Strength builds. They usually want to have a heavy weapon with good attributes and a weapon with 360-degree coverage. Freyja’s Greatsword will meet all their requirements. Have you chosen your favorite Curved Swords? If you have already chosen, then enter Shadow of the Erdtree DLC and start your exploration!
