Elden Ring Best 15 Faith Builds - Early and Late Game 

Thank you

Thanks

Do you know how to get the templar armor and shield?

@@doruk3546search the good video for that build !

@@doruk3546i use the Templar build too

Brick hammer hits like a truck with sacred blade

Great hammers are trash

@@KaIe_true but it has dagger range sadly

Great Hammers PLEASE

Same. Great Hammers are incredible especially when used with great shield guard-counter builds. It only takes two or three hits to break the stance of the bosses since both charged heavies and guard counters deal 40-42'ish stance damage and bosses have either 80 or 120 poise.

Arcane has a lot of options. The problem with youtubers is that most of the time it's all about the absolute bleeding edge of damage. The problem with arcane in that department is that weapons that do not have default poison or bleed on them vary widely in stat scaling. For example, certain weapons when infused bleed will get a B in dex, but D in arcane. While others will have the same happen with strength. So you really have to build around your weapons in that case. If going full arcane the weapons that generally benefit you the most are ones with inate poison and bleed. Once infused occult they get high base damage, higher than normal status build since arcane scales them under occult, and ash of war is up to you. Alternatively, you can use the somber arcane weapons. The thing people complain about here is this locks you into a smaller pool of weapons to chose from. That is of course, considering getting the most damage. Little known thing, the ripple Cresent axe and halbred while unable to change ash of war, can be buffed. Sleep, bleed, and poison Greece all scale with arcane. You can sleep another player in two hits. Even if you don't pvp that gives you an idea how strong it can be. They also are the only arcane weapons with S scaling. Last is arcane spells. Most common is the dragon spells. You can go all in on them and they can be extremely powerful on bosses. Or, you can use a lot of utility spells to supplement melee like the blood talons, flies, and buff with blood flame blade. Even meeting mid range requirements for dragon spells gives a lot of power and status build. Either route gives you access to a lot of basic faith spells as well which can be a lot of utility. Finally, you could use the arcane sorceries. They are strong, but there only a couple in the game with the build being very specific. There really is not a one size fits all arcane set up unless you go high level. Otherwise, you really need to plan your play through sticking to a few things or single theme in my opinion. Not doing so can make things harder. Ask me how I know lol. I settled on a primarily melee arcane build meeting base requirements for my weapons and spells, and then all in on arcane. My spells are faith utility and bleed stuff. Took me a few tears to get it how I liked it for me. Gotta figure out what you like.

The dragon builds are quite good and different arcane builds, both the ones with Regalia of Eochaid and Ripple Sword

@@legi0n47x Yeah, that's a great summary. With other builds you can often just raise one or two damage stats and you'll naturally find weapons and spells that work and you'll already meet the requirements and be effective with them. Arcane is a bit more "hidden"; the scaling on weapons is often not straightforward and you'll usually need at least some strength, dex, or faith to meet base requirements for weapons and spells. It takes a bit of research or a lot of experimenting to even know what your options are. I'm in the midgame and having a lot of fun with a bleed and Dragon Communion build with a few utility spells, but I played the early game more like a dex build to help me get through the early bosses and access the more arcane-friendly weapons and spells. I'm also glad I didn't do this for my first character because it really helps already knowing what's available to me in the game.

@@TheSlothOfShadows I did this build for my first character. I have a sort of tradition in all souls games to always start as a thief/bandit type. Plus arcane was new to souls, sort of, and dragon spells were completely new. It was rough for a while. Early on it gave instant access to Redvuiva which can help you a lot early. But it falls off early too, then gets good later again. Treating it as a dex build early is good until you can get some key items like dragon seal, lord of blood exultation, black wet stone, and perhaps a few arcane weapons. Plus, with even low 20's dex a lightning misacorde is very strong for crits once you get the wet blade for lightning. My early game picks for this until you get what you want are morning star, regalia of eochaid, uchigatana, maybe a halbred or plain straight sword if you like those. I'm a huge warhawk talon fan, but they can be a pain to farm. Morning star helps loads against enemies weak to strike, does bleed, great posture damage, and you can buff it with bloodflame blade, another key early thing. Since you're doing dragon guy, one thing I discovered that was a bummer is that Plasadusex's, or however you spell it, lightning spell does not count as dragon communion. It's a faith spell. So you have to decide if you should stop at 18 fai, 23 for dragon maw and the named dragon breath spells which only do 18%-ish more damage, but are very strong if you have 2x dragon seals, or go all the way to 28 for greyroll's roar. Personally, I got tired of getting whacked out of breaths spells, but they did carry me a lot. And that was before the roar medallion counted with them. Also, keep in mind there are 2 helms that raise arcane. The one that gives 3 requires doing Ranni's quest though.

Yoooooo whaaaaaat ?! 😱

Yeah its very interesting that they left those out.

@@ducasse8473 maybe they just work better in another build *shrugs*

That's something you gotta figure out for him. Does it do too much damage? Maybe steer them away

It's cool indeed, the weapons is really nice despite its opness and fire incantations are great. The only downside is that this faith weapon gets boring after time.

HALIGTREE CREST GREATSHIELD

@@m0nst3r888 ty

its in order for people to avoid spoilers of the boss if they are new and want to follow a build

Because there's really not much to cover. It's only act 1 and early acess. Things are changing daily
