In Elden Ring, there are plenty of enemies that can kill players with a single combo if they aren’t careful. Hence, this highlights the importance of having a solid strength build for gamers who don’t mind sacrificing some speed to put the fear of the Outer Gods in their enemies. Unfortunately, this choice can be overwhelming for new fans with all the different weapon options. For players looking to be pointed in the right direction for equipment, here is how to build the best Elden Ring strength build.

Armor For Best Elden Ring Strength Build

The best armor for a strength build is Blaidd’s armor set. By completing Blaidd’s questline in Elden Ring,ย this can be earned from the first encounter in Mistwood Ruins to the final one near Ranni’s Chamber. After defeating him, he will drop his massive greatsword and armor set. His armor comprises a badass-looking helmet, gauntlets, greaves, and chest armor.

What sets Blaidd’s armor apart from the rest is the extreme amount of damage negation it gives players, including a couple of added perks. First, the headpiece gives gamers extreme Robustness and Immunity Resistance. The gauntlets offer a lot of Strike and Physical damage negation. Lastly, the greaves provide excellent Elemental and Physical protection. Fans will essentially be a walking fortress with the set.

Main Weapon for Best Samurai Build in Elden Ring

Elden Ring Ruins Greatsword Location

Typically, with a Strength build, fans will want to two-hand massive greatsword weapons to make use of their insane damage output. And to meet that standard, the Ruins Greatsword will be a great addition to a player’s arsenal. When fully upgraded, this sword has an S strength ranking, which is rare for greatswords. Not only that, but its R2 attack is a gravitational magical ranged attack that can help fans in various situations. There is a Strength requirement of 50 and an Intelligence requirement of 16 to wield the weapon, but it will be worth it to wield this behemoth of a weapon for the Best Elden Ring Strength Loadout.

To acquire this sword, gamers will have to beat Starscourge Radahn and complete Sellen’s questline, where they need to talk to Jerren at Redmane castle after the fight. After all the dialogue options have been exhausted, go to the plaza at Redmane castle to trigger a new boss fight with the Misbegotten Warrior and a Crucible Knight. After they are beaten, the greatsword will be rewarded.

Best Talismans

Elden Ring Erdtree's Favor Location

Players can use two good Talismans to beef up their build: the Erdtree’s Favor and the Dragoncrest Greatshield talisman. Erdtree’s Favor gives a massive boost in health, stamina, and maximum equipment load. The Greatshield talisman raises resistance to physical damage by 20%. Both work together to give that extra boost of protection to create the best Elden Ring strength build.

Erdtree’s Favor talisman is in the Fringefold Hero’s Grave, located in Limgrave near the First Steps Site of Grace. The Dragoncrest Greatshield can be found inside a chest north of Elphael, Brace of the Haligtree.

Elden Ring is available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC.
