Scaling with Strength and Dexterity builds, the Zweihander inย Elden Ringย is a jack-of-all-trades weapon with the lightest carry weight and fastest moveset of any Colossal armament. The blade’s significant length grants Zweihander users a long reach to surprise enemies in PvP combat and strike PvE targets from a relatively safe distance. Accordingly, the best builds for the Zweihander inย Elden Ringย will be slightly different, depending on if Tarnished want toย utilize the Colossal Sword against playersย or AI. Still, regardless of the situation, it is recommended that players choose the build they enjoy the most and are most comfortable using.

Best PvP and PvE Builds For Zweihander In Elden Ring

Elden Ring How To Build Zweihander For PvP or PvE

Starting with PvE, the bestย Zweihander build inย Elden Ringย would have the Green Turtle Talisman, Axe Talisman, and Ash of War: War Cry. The purpose is to use War Cry for an attack buff and charge attack enemies, breaking their Poise and hammering them into the ground. The Bull-Goat Set paired with Great-Jar’s Arsenal will make the player unstoppable.

The best PvE build for Zweihander inย Elden Ringย can be versatile, allowing players to mix and match armor pieces and Spells according to their needs. However, the primary concept of the build is to continuously charge-stagger enemies andย use the War Cry’s overhead slamย as a heavy Poise breaker or executing finisher.

As for the recommended PvP Zweihander build, Tarnished are advised to useย Bloodhound’s Step for mobilityย instead of Way Cry. Any heavy to medium armor set is viable as long as players have the Great-Jar’s Arsenal Talisman. Other recommended Talismans include Erdtree’s Favor +2, Viridian Amber Medallion +2, and Old Lord’s Talisman. If players need more protection, they can switch Old Lord’s Talisman with a defensive accessory such as the Dragoncrest Greatshield. Finally, an excellent boost for damage output would be to imbue the weapon with Vyke’s Dragonbolt before battle. The goal in combat is to execute long-ranged melee stabs and jumping attacks to reach enemies.

Elden Ringย is available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
