Top 5 magic builds in Elden Ring 

Magic is something that has become extremely popular within Elden Ring. This is primarily because magic-based builds can make boss fights and challenging content much easier.

Playing as a mage allows gamers to deal damage from a distance, which helps a lot in terms of survivability. At the same time, the various sorceries and incantations within the game are quite strong and have the potential to wipe out even the most challenging bosses in the blink of an eye.

However, the biggest issue that most mages face within this game is primarily about optimizing builds. Magic builds are not easy and require advanced knowledge about the game to ensure success.

Every magic build that Elden Ring players should consider chasing

1) Boss Nuke build

This is arguably one of the most popular builds within the game right now. This build relies on 15 seconds of no FP consumption and deals enormous amounts of damage within the short time interval.

The only sorcery in the game that is currently able to dish out the damage needed for this build to work is Comet Azur. Apart from that, the damage output of the spell is further amplified through other forms of equipment like the Glintstone staff and talismans.

Equipment Requirements

• Weapon Requirement: Lusat's Glintstone Staff
• Stat Requirements: Intelligence, Mind, Vigor, Endurance
• Spells Required: Comet Azur, Unseen Form
• Talismans: Radagon Icon, Graven-Mass Talisman, Marika's Soreseal

2) Vengeful Sorcery Build

This build focuses primarily on two of the most potent death sorceries in the game. The idea behind this build is very simple as both the death sorceries can be spammed continuously on account of the low FP requirement.

This ability to spam spells allows players to stun enemies and bosses quite well. Apart from that, both these spells have very good range and can chase down enemies.

Finally, the build also involves the usage of a particular melee weapon, which helps deal further damage when the enemies are stunned in a place.

Equipment Requirements

• Weapon Requirements: Sword of Night and Flame (melee), Prince of Death Staff (Glintstone Staff)
• Stat Requirements: Intelligence, Faith, Vigor, Mind
• Spells Required: Ancient Death Rancor, Rancorcall
• Talismans: Radagon Icon, Graven Mass Talisman, Marika's Soreseal, Two Finger Heirloom
• Crystal Tear: Magic-Shrouding Cracked Tear, Faith-knot crystal tear

Apart from that, it provides variety and does not have any significant pre-requisites. All players need to do is play the game normally, and the build will come across eventually.

This particular build relies on the usage of both the melee weapon as well as the sorceries. In fact, the weightage on both is sort of the same, which means that the build will be time-taking and costly.

Apart from that, the build also requires specific weapons to be effective. Therefore, players will have to spend some time grinding and farming.

Equipment Requirements

• Weapon Requirement: Moonveil, Lusat's Glintstone Staff
• Stat Requirements: Intelligence, Dexterity, Mind, Vigor
• Spells Required: Glintstone Arc, Glintstone Pebble, Rennala's Full Moon

• Crystal Tear: Intelligence-knot Crystal Tear, Magic Shrouding Cracked Tear

The final magic builds that players can consider in Elden Ring is the Dark Moon Greatsword build. This one relies a lot on the Greatsword in general, though players will be using spells as well.

Obviously, the weapon scales off intelligence, which means it will be a sorcery-oriented build in the end.
