There are many different builds gamers can use inside Elden Ring. Each one will offer them a unique way of fighting their enemies. These can include melee, magic, or ranged builds. Different stats can affect how powerful the weapons someone uses are. Strength is a stat that increases the damage of weapons that scale off of strength.

Here is one of the best Strength builds that you should use in Elden Ring.

The most potent Strength build that gamers can use in Elden Ring

Strength is one of the main attributes players can place points into when they level up in Elden Ring. This stat increases the damage dealt by weapons that are focused on Strength. Each point of damage will make the weapons deal more damage as well as increase the character's physical defenses. Users will want to focus on the Strength stat and Vigor to ensure they have enough health.

For a very strong Strength-focused build, YouTuber Born 2 Game offered a well-balanced and surprisingly strong build, although it uses a Strength-based weapon. This build will primarily focus on Melee attacks, which will make players get close to the enemy to attack them after buffing up.

Doing so will allow them to deal immense damage to opponents quickly.

Gamers will want to ensure they have specific items for this Strength build. Each item can, of course, be swapped out for others if they do not have access to all of them.

However, combining these items is what makes the build so strong. It may attack slowly but deals an extreme amount of damage when striking enemies.

Gear list

  • Weapon (Main Hand): Marais Executioner's Sword
  • Off Hand: Golden Order Seal
  • Helm: Marais Mask

How players can deal massive damage with the build

The Flask of Wondrous Physick will allow users to deal more damage with magic and successive attacks. The Marais Executioner Sword does a special swirling attack that will deal continuous damage.

Combining the buffs from the Flask plus using Golden Order Seal and then Flame, Grant Me Strength will allow gamers to build up their damage to staggering amounts when hitting an enemy.
