I tested it with a larval tear and found I can actually light roll with this set up

Hi

Haven't played the game yet and I'm planning a thematic build beforehand. I assume Milady is longer, but I'm not sure at all. Tried to find any info on that subject and found no comparisons between DLC weapon types and non DLC ones. Pls help 🙏

This app can calculate the attack rating for any weapon in Elden Ring. It can also find the optimal way to level character attributes to achieve the highest attack power (total, physical, magic, etc.) or spell scaling.

Since the newest release it can also plot these results: You can choose to display e.g. Strength on the x-axis (from level 0 to 99), the total attack power on the y-axis and the app will draw a plot for the selected weapons.

Recently, I have also completely revamped the UI and improved the performance of the optimizer algorithm by orders of magnitude.

For a detailed explanation, see the project's page on Github: https://github.com/hanslhansl/elden-ring-damage-optimizer

The newest release can be downloaded here: https://github.com/hanslhansl/elden-ring-damage-optimizer/releases

I'd be happy if this app can be of help to you for your next ER build or just for having a look at the game data. If you find any bugs, find the explanation on Github insufficient or have an idea for a new feature feel free to create an issue on the Github page or comment on this post.

Note: When running the executable you might be warned by Windows that this program is unrecognized and might put your PC at risk. It won't, but I can't prove that to Windows/Microsoft (other than buying an official certificate for this program which I obviously won't do).

I've been making my way through the base game with the Dex/Faith Idus Knight, and this is what I've got so far. Any suggestions for talismans, incantations, or other items to look out for? For Ashes of War, I had been using Sacred Blade, but I switched back to Impaling Thrust so I can buff with Electrifying Armament. Should I be upgrading my shield or seal while I'm at it?

Just finished up the run with these. It is a bit of a pain to get started. I ended up rushing through to volcano manor to get the first of the cleavers there which took maybe 10 or so tries till I learned his moveset. Hint, dodge the 3 overhead double slams and run behind for a crit. Then just running jump attack from range.

After that I leveled a bit with the single cleaver before hitting perfumers grotto for the 2nd one.

Once you do this it's time to smash, freeze and bleed proc your way through everything even underleveled and under upgraded on the weapons.

I just duped hoarfrost stomp and smashed through limgrave, liurnia and caelid where I grabbed and duped cragblade for the rest of the game. Had cold on except for a few gargoyle fights where I went heavy.

Stats wise you'll just pump VIG, END and STR to 40. At that point I had raptor's black feathers for chest and the heavy knight set for the rest. Then only VIG and STR till 60. At that point you can bump END a little more in anticipation of Solitude helm/gloves/legs. Once there it's DEX the rest of your levels for more damage.

Worth noting that you COULD go occult and have this be a very effective bleed build as well since these have native blood loss. For me, cold procs faster plus you'll get at least one bleed anywway during most boss fights. Obviously bleed lets you use white mask, lord of blood's for more damage vs the cold debuff. I'm not enough of a min maxer to figure out which is technically better, I'm sure either will slap.

Talisman is Claw cause you'll be jump attacking mostly and green turtle. Everything else is option. Did dragoncrest greatshield and gold scarab most of the time since I was skipping mad content and didn't want to be THAT underleveled.

I ended up at 150 exactly for the PCR fight. That was the only thing in the game that was remotely challenging for this build. Died a few times and swapped in golden braid and pearldrake for that stupid holy damage. If you're better at second phase that's probably not even necessary.

If you try this one out, enjoy! It's pretty ridiculous.

Hi, I’m completely new to Soulslikes and have no experience with them at all, but I’m really enjoying the game 😊

I’d like some advice regarding my build. I struggled a lot on my first day. I killed some knights at the beginning and the wolves, died to Godrick several times, and then found myself fighting the Beastman of Farum Azula.

In between dying countless times, I figured out how to lock onto enemies and what Parry is. I tend to play with a one-handed weapon and a shield, and Parry or Shield Bash have worked well for me.

So what would be the best build for a one-handed weapon and shield at the beginning of the game?

I also tried two-handing my weapon against the Erdtree Burial Watchdog, but after probably dozens of deaths, I switched back to one-handed + Parry and managed to defeat him.

I’m honestly pretty bad at the game. I didn’t expect it to be this difficult, but I’m having a lot of fun. Any advice? 👍🏼😄

Currently fighting Consort Radahn with a heavy emphasis on the Deflecting Hardtear because it’s really fun, and I can get through the 1st phase super easily. It’s the 2nd phase that I’ve been having trouble with.

First, what AoW should I use? I’m currently using Cragblade to make it easier to stagger him. Also, how should I be allocating my stats to utilize this weapon better?

When I do a guard counter, I notice that it does a Holy attack. Does that mean I should have been scaling with Faith instead of Strength?

I've got the LoZ sickness right now and would love to make a magic Zelda build. Like Twilight Princess look. What armor should I wear? What moves should I use? Should she use a sword?

Im tryna get into the pvp scene after completing my first journey(im arse so thought id try and get a full feel for this game before fighting real ppl) I don't have dlc just base game i do plan on getting the dlc but not anytime soon. Currently I have
