"The ULTIMATE INTELLIGENCE BUILD!" - Elden Ring - Most OP Build EVER? 

legend

Damn… didn’t realise my vids put people to sleep 😂😂

@@tkcjazza in the best way possible bro I swear, love the video!

It quite literally does do you research

it's so taxing early game, but so worth it, especially if you really grind runes before ng+ and oh boi, going hybrid builds are fun

That's why i usually unga bunga my way through the first portion of the game only to repec into an actual build mid way

Despite what you'd think from the descriptions, the Radagon icon barely has any effect on spell casting speed. Even the new upgraded version in the DLC barely changes it. It's a total waste of an amulet slot that could go toward improving your damage output several times more.

@@RD-dt7us wait really ? bcs i use both soreseals just to boost stats lol

​@@nunyabz9494 Dexterity is what governs casting speed, among other things. Equipment that says it increases casting speed doesn't increase it by a set percentage, but grants virtual dexterity. Virtual dexterity adds to your dexterity, but only applies to casting speed. This also means that items that grant virtual dexterity (ie 'casting speed') don't grant increases beyond the casting speed cap, which is 70 dexterity. At 70 dex your casts are about 17.5% faster. That's a gain of only a few hundred milliseconds for spells with long startup animations, and almost negligible for spells with short startup animations. The Radagon Icon grants 30 virtual dexterity, or about 7.5% faster casting speed. Some other talismans you can use are: - Magic scorpion charm, which increases magic damage by 12% - Graven-mass talisman, which increases sorcery damage by 8% - Ritual sword talisman, which increases attack power by 10% at max health -Green or two-headed turtle talismans, which increase stamina regen by 17.7% and 22.5% respectively Or other ones that may have better effects than a 7.5% casting speed increase, and which can actually stack with each other. Also, running or jumping animations for some spells don't even get increases from casting speed. So that makes the benefits even more situational for some builds.

followed by a critical attack

Thank you! - just wanted to point out, be careful with bastards stars if you do run it - I’m pretty sure the nebula attack with it is still bugged and only 1 or 2 explosions actually cause damage, whereas all the explosions with wing of astel’s nebula can deal damage :)

I mostly use RC Scepter + Night Comet to soften the ennemies from distance, then go 100% melee . I have noticed that Commander Niel got very confused if you use both melee+range attacks 😉

Hmmm... Thanks for the tip ! I will test it on the giant close to the cellar point of grace in Stormveil castle 😉

Pretty sure Flame grant me strength and Howl of Shabriri do not stack with each other, so only use one of them. Shabriri gives a higher increase, but also makes you take more dmg

Sorry it’s been a while - I just haven’t felt great for the past week - videos should be happening a lot more frequently now :)

@@tkcjazza I hope all is well. You have no obligation, if you heart is not in it at the moment then wait.

This build actually got nerfed a couple of weeks back - it’s still good, just not as powerful as what I showed in the vid

​@@tkcjazza Still going to give it a try

@@tkcjazzawhat would you say is the strongest pve build pre dlc? idc about fun i want to get to the dlc already 😭

If it’s your first time playing, I advise you start with the astrologer class as that’ll have spells off the bat - it can be really strong, just farm some runes and get yourself through the first half of the base game and you’ll have access to a load of staves/spells :)

@@tkcjazza Cool, thanks! I'll do that. Not that far in yet and wretch is a little rough so far lol. Appreciate it!

Uh oh… you found me 😂😂

@@tkcjazza I had a little help from a Star wars fan 😂😂

It's not for everyone, but I personally love a good intelligence build - I of course would suggest using this as you can literally use any Int weapon/spell in the game and they'll all do ridiculous damage :)

@@tkcjazza I am going to give it a try. Question, when you respect, does all the weapons in that category scale with int?

@@incognitoa4506 Do you mean all the weapons I mentioned in the video? - If so, yeah, any weapon that essentially uses INT as a requirement will scale with INT stat -Most of those weapons also use a magic based ash of war that purely scales with INT too :)

Wouldn't be able to use cerulean hidden tear for that Kamehameha. But if u don't like the giant beam of death then that would make sense

Yeah, claw/fist weapons have insane DPS!

Each piece gives a +2% damage boost to attacking ash of war’s - it’s written wrong/coded wrong in the game and DOESN’T boost spells :)

Yeah, that is my favourite too! :)

@@tkcjazza I have never tried any staff, which one would you recommend and what abilities would you recommend

You must like boring op weapons

@@deontookflight317 Nothing wrong with liking an OP weapon ;)

@@tkcjazza the weapon makes the game the easiest fromsoft game of all time including the BB as well as

There's a couple of straight strength weapons you can pick up early - You can grab iron fists from the boilprawn merchant (i forget his name) after killing him in lurnia of the lakes, lordsworn greatsword too, as for faith weapons, I can't think of any in the early game which are super good - Sacred blade ash of war is typically used on a dagger etc

Bloodhounds fang to start then get Blasphemous Blade for endgame

I personally wouldn’t say so, all you need are the stats, talismans and wonder physick combo - all of which are shown on screen for a good amount of time (and you can pause if needed) and I discussed all sorts of options telling you all to chop and change the build to suit you. It wasn’t meant to be a direct copy of a certain weapon/spell set because you can use all of them in the game - so the choice is yours

​@@tkcjazza I don't have the magic scorpion charm what's a good replacement?

@@sap509 maybe something like radagons icon to help with casting speeds or if you really want, you can run graven-school talisman and graven-mass talisman at the same time :)

@@sap509ritual sword talisman if you’re not using it already

@@tkcjazzacould we get a full playthrough of you making the build so I know what to do with runes from the dragon glitch etc

Thanks 😅 - I think people just assumed I was going to use one weapon/spell 😂

Are you on steam or discord by chance?

@@nicholasbohannon2665 yes I am…on discord. How do I reach out to you?

For runes, look up the white-faced varre questline. It's easy. At the end he gives you a metal of some kind. It takes you to a place called Mohgwyn's Palace. There off in the woods to the right run fast avoid everything and hug the left wall up a ramp like path past more enemies. At the top is a sight of grace get there ASAP. Then rest there. If you notice off the cliff on the landing, there is a big bird. Get a bow and some standard arrows. Fire at it then it will jump off the cliff and you get rich. Rince and repeat.

For gear, just look up tutorials. On who to kill or where to go.

Hey! There’s quite a lot to get if you mean making a list of all spells/int weapons in the game, best thing to do is complete all raya lucaria quests, like Sellen’s questline, Thops and Ranni’s quest to get the majority of OP Int weapons/spells. Also, if you’re looking for a more in-depth build specifically for moonveil, I have that on the channel too :)

@@tkcjazza I meant more the most optimal spells for this build. Yopu give a few options but do you have a select few you'd recommend, and then some in between for mid game?

For my Moonveil, I went into 40 dex and 80 int. I have the Carian Royal Scepter, as well as an infused Uchigatana in the left hand, depending whether I wanna go melee or cast sorceries. Talismans should be roughly the ones in the video, though Radagon icon is also very good if you are casting spells. Personally, I did not use incants, as I feel its a bit of an overkill to buff yourself, so just put the stats into dex and int

Spells I rly like are Adula's Moonblade, carian Slicer, Loretta's bow, Comet Azur, Night Commet, Terra Magica and Shard Spiral I think

Basically everything in this build got nerfed a week ago - better off using the DGMS as a physical weapon now as they changed the values of the stance damage to be better with the actual weapon rather than the ranged attack :)

Thats really dissapointing. Does that change the entire build then? No longer viable as hybrid mage?

@@tkcjazzabru i literally just made this whole build last night pin a comment or put it in the title

depends on what kinda skill level you're at too - Like if you're ok dodging/surviving boss fights, pump more into INT first to deal more damage, but if you want more health to survive a lot easier, put more into Vigor/Mind first to be able to cast more spells and outlive bosses :)

I like to get damage stats to the minimum to be able to use the items I want (ex meteorite staff), then just focus completely on vigor until it’s around 25 and mind until it’s around 20, and then pump intelligence until 40s-50s, then go back to vigor until 40, mind until 30, and then back to intelligence

I don’t overly have a proper guide but the closest thing to it would be this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-31QKlmIh5vI.htmlsi=--ZQm0EQS2FnCXJb Shows you how to get an op mage set-up in just an hour. Realistically you can use that video as a base and then work towards the stats in this “ultimate mage” vid when you get to level 150 :)

You don’t have to stay at level 150, this is just a guide for that level as it’s “more than enough” for majority of players - just improve the stats that you need to enjoy the build more :)

Yeah, but if you add more mind, you're also taking out points elsewhere that are needed - Having 3/4 curelean flasks is a good replacement for the extra damage you need in the later NG+'s, plus with most weapons Ash of War you'll get 5 or 6 uses before you need to refill FP :)

The point of the video was explaining you can use any INT weapon/Spell - all you need is talismans, stats and buffs I showed then it’s up to you what you want to run as weapons/spells - I was using what I did in the gameplay to show that everything is still OP even if this build isn’t optimising one specific weapon

@@tkcjazza it’s not a build video then, call it……”any intelligence build is good”

@@PABLOSGHOST it is a build video - a build that lets you use every intelligence weapon

Yeah, unfortunately you do have to go into NG+

Because I cba switching everything in/out for every fight 😂 - this build is basically plug and play and does more than enough damage to rinse the game :)

incantations used are: Howl of shabriri and golden vow. Sorceries shown in this video are: Terra Magica, Comet Azur, Stars of Ruin, Cannon of Haima, and Greatblade phalanx

Yeah, you can always “re-spec” using rennala at the raya lucaria academy - I wouldn’t put more than 80 points into intelligence as the game soft caps around 80 points in most stats (meaning that you get very little improvement in damage from levels 80+) or if you want to keep the reduvia - drop arcane to 70/80 and start putting points into intelligence :)

@@tkcjazza Google翻訳者：日本語から英語へ Thank you for your advice. i didn't know about the gap, it helps alot when i did the re-spec thing you told me thank you again

Shard of alexander,Graven mass talisman, ritual sword talisman,magic scorpion charm, and the best weapon for this build in my opinion is the Darkmoon greatsword, put most stats in intelligence,hope this helped.

You can use blue flasks - Have like 4/5 of them equipped and you're fine :)

Yeah, the stats alone let you deal a load of damage :)

if you can, put more. 18 is really really low

Thank you - yeah I used to just use screenshots in the vids but thought I would up the graphics and make my own for the talismans etc to stand out from everyone else using the same screenshots - they’re all still there though and I do name everything you need :)

the magic one lol

Like a bleed build that can still use magic

Yeah, if you’re not running any/same buffs, that’ll be the main reason you’re dealing as much damage. That and obs making sure weapons are max level etc - just need to make sure you have the right talismans for the weapons you’re using too :)

Are your weapons upgraded?

@@RaptorFace-im1pr any - that’s the point of the build, you can use whatever you like :)

Basically, PvP works based on level, so you’ll only be invaded/invading people of a similar level - Rune Level 150 is also enough to optimise builds for pretty much any weapon in the game to make them capable of flying through NG+7 onwards (the hardest variation of the game with bosses having the highest defence, health, attack etc) So level 150 builds are “all you need” but of course you can go higher if you want to do even more damage :)

Just to add, it also helps for co-op. You can summon or PVP with anyone that is +/- 20 levels of you. So, if you are 150, you could get someone that is 170 or 130. Most players stick around here because it increases the opportunity from that perspective. If you lvl to 300 you'll have way less players that you could potentially connect with. If none of that matters to you, go ham on the levels.

Thanks?

@@tkcjazzayou’re welcome 😁

You don't need to be rude bruh

@@ulquiorracifer9205 I didn’t order a yappucino

Yeah, you're right... that was a happy accident then lol - I thought 17 was the min needed to cover that and wing of astel - I must of told myself the Wing of Astel's 17 dex was the highest value of all Int weapons I used, which isn't true! Also, thank you! I'm glad you're enjoying the videos/builds and your RL 175 build is perfect!

Git gud

Yeah, this video was released before the nerfs

It blew up the channel lol - I had around 100 subs when I made that original vid

@@tkcjazza maybe a few months after the dlc you try switch it up with new games to keep the Chanel growing because your videos are actually real good and I feel like you could cover other games just as good

Why not? ;)

@@tkcjazza no lie I was look at how to use the system because I usually play eso but instead of getting gold road I’ll get Elden ring with dlc I never played a dark souls game I guess this would be first time.

Probably wayyy better

You can still run that with this build, just switch staffs to staff of loss for the extra damage ;)

I personally think so :)

@tkcjazza I levelled both to Max and decided to see, and yeah, the dm sword is better

I think mooonveil is better bc it’s quicker

No

I said this in the vid but you can use any spell in the game, it doesn’t matter - most op spells can be got through seller’s quest and throughout the lake of lurnia in the academy & from various merchants/cave bosses :)

All you need for the build are the stats, talismans & wonder physick, which I showed in the video for some time and can be paused etc if needed. The point of the video/build was telling you that you have every INT weapon available and every spell - I didn’t give an exact main weapon or spell set because it’s up to you - do you like dark moon greatsword? Sweet, use that - do you like gravity spells? Cool, use them instead! Once you have the stats/boosts ready to use, you’re good to go with literally anything :)

@@tkcjazza why are you responding to everyone like a jackass? people are here to make the build you are showing them and a lot are saying its hard to follow. take some criticism and improve

@@97matt97 I'm not responding like a Jackass - They said it's hard to follow and that I need to show how to copy the build more - I simply re-iterated that the only things they need to know are the stats, talismans and wonder physick, which are on the screen for a good minute or so of the entire video - It is also clear that they didn't quite get the angle I was going for with this video, as it was a discussion about what you CAN use as appose to telling you WHAT to use. I guess next time I won't bother commenting because apparently helping people understand is being a Jackass :)

@@tkcjazza unsubscribed, this is not how a content creator should handle criticisms for the content they post.

Goodbye you will not be missed​@@97matt97

Any seal you like as it’s only used for GV/HoS

Doesn’t overly matter too much - I typically grab a stone sword key so I have an extra one to get into locked dungeons sooner :)

@@tkcjazza okay thank you

might be harder for eventually you'll be able to play legit any build the higher levels you go [i.e 200+ etc] the starting class is typically just for ng to give you the best stats/gear to get your through the game however apparently that also changes if you want to do pvp, but someone else is gonna have to chime in for that as I don't do pvp .

I did say this in the vid - I used wretch as the starting class, but you can maybe use something like astrologer for early game magic

It's ok, we'll leave the jokes for the clever people ;)

@@tkcjazza lol:)

You say that as if I didn’t show every single item individually on screen when I talked about them… - next time I think of making a vid I’ll just post a screenshot on Reddit I guess

@@DemoSpar I literally show them like 1 minute into the vid… so… no patience? No understanding I’m explaining everything for new players? That’s fine, see you later 👋👋

Yes, I didn’t say anything so I hope you don’t end up using the stats, talismans, weapons, wonder physick combo, buffs or various spells I took FOREVER to talk about (because I said nothing remember) I talked about ALL options for INT builds, I didn’t give a specific weapon/spell list because the stats let you use everything (which I mention)

Ikr Ig I'll just use my fist to beat everything

Probably astrologer
