Faith is one of the fundamental stats in Elden Ring that is used to cast incantations. Thus, it is no surprise that the game provides certain Ashes of War that will help to boost Faith scaling and add attributes to weapons related to the same. The problem with Faith, in general, is that most of the incantations that are available within the game are bad.

So going for Faith oriented builds is risky in Elden Ring. One of the saving graces, however, is that these Sacred Ashes of War are quite good and a lot more accessible. Therefore, players can consider them as part of their builds.

Sacred Blade is arguably one of the most powerful Sacred Ash of War available to players. It buffs weapons with something called holy essence and fires an extremely powerful golden blade when used. The damage it does is quite high and can be obtained quite early in the game.

Shared Order is quite an amazing Ash of War as it helps to buff both the players and the allies within Elden Ring. The Ash of War grants holy damage to weapons and is useful against undead skeletons.

It only costs 20 FP and lasts for 45 seconds, which can often be a game-changer in fights.

Location: Obtained after defeating Night Cavalry boss in Atlus Plateau


3) Ash of War: Vow of the Indomitable

This is an Ash of War that is quite good for sorcerers and spell casters. Vow the Indomitable provides players with temporary invincibility, which in turn comes in quite handy against bosses.

While the duration is not very large, it can be a lifesaver in critical situations and help extend boss encounters a bit more, which can often make or break the result of a fight.

4) Ash of War: Prayerful Strike

Prayerful Strike is quite an interesting Ash of War. The ideology behind this is that if players can use it while getting hit by enemies, they will be able to heal back up a portion of their missing health.

In fact, it scales with things like Great Runes that help buff up the HP values. The damage it does is not optimal; however, it makes trading quite easier. In short, it is great for players who love fighting head-on.

Location: Obtained by defeating an invisible mob enemy in Leyndell, Royal Capital.


5) Ash of War: Holy Ground

This is another very interesting Ash of War, as it creates an area within which players will have increased defense and earn 10 HP every 30 seconds. While that does sound quite bad for players who want to focus on direct combat, this Ash of War is best used in co-op, buffing their allies' defenses, while also healing them.

Apart from that, players can lure aggressive bosses and stay inside the area as the defense buffs from this spell are pretty significant.

Location: Obtained by defeating two chariots at Auriza Hero's Grave in Leyndell, Royal Capital.
