Strength builds are arguably the most common ones that players can opt for in Elden Ring. This is primarily due to the fact that these builds are easy to obtain and execute.
Strength builds are meant for all types of players, which makes them extremely versatile. In fact, these are the builds that players can lean onto when everything else seems confusing and hard to obtain.
Ideally, for new players as well, strength builds are the way to proceed during the first playthrough of the game. Elden Ring has a variety of weapons, talismans, and Ash of War for players to develop the most optimal strength builds.

The only thing that players need to be wary of are the requirements as strength weapons usually take a huge chunk of stats to become usable. Other than that, the strength builds in this game are very strong and players will have a lot of fun while dishing out some really high damage against bosses.

Every strength build that players should consider chasing within Elden Ring
1.Hybrid Strength/Faith build
This is a build that primarily focuses on face-tanking enemies and standing ground even in the most dire circumstances in Elden Ring. While in most cases players might find it odd, there are a handful of defensive incantations that make this task a lot easier.
The damage output from this build is quite good as well, even though one of the weapons cannot be obtained until late in the game. Either way, the other option amongst the weapons is good enough to clear everything with ease in Elden Ring.
Equipment Requirements
- Weapon Required: Maliketh's Black Blade, Golden Halberd
- Stat Requirements: Vigor, Endurance, Strength, Faith
- Spells Required: Golden Vow
- Talisman: Shard of Alexander, Erdtree's Favor, Carian Filigreed Crest, Two Finger Heirloom

2.Standard DPS build
This is one of the most standard builds that players can opt for when going for strength as the main stat in Elden Ring. The build is simple, requires less investment and most of the options presented here are self-explanatory.
This is the kind of build that players do not need to think about a lot and all they need to do is play the game at their own pace.
Equipment Requirements
- Weapon Requirement: Greatsword
- Stat Requirements: Vigor, Strength, Endurance
- Talisman: Rotten Winged Sword Insignia, Radagon's Soreseal, Arsenal Charm, Erdtree's Favor

3. Hybrid Strength/Intelligence build
This is by far one of the most popular strength-oriented builds that currently exists within the game. This is mainly because there are two very powerful weapons in the build.
The build can function as both a damage dealer against bosses and a crowd controller against swarms of enemies. The build does require some late-game investment, but once ready, players can continue using it even beyond one playthrough.

4. Bleed based strength build
While most of the bleed-oriented weapons in the game require dexterity scaling, this one in particular requires strength to wield. This build is almost as simple as it sounds.

Equipment Requirements

- Stat Requirements: Vigor, Strength, Dexterity, Arcane

5. Hybrid Strength/Dexterity builds
This is another standard DPS build, though it functions based on both strength and dexterity. The weapon, however, primarily scales off strength. Thus, dexterity concerns will be gone after a certain point.
