Elden Ring: Best Bows Tier List

Glintstone Kris : The Glintstone Kris grants players an interesting ability called "Glintstone Dart," but as far as a Sorcery spell in Elden Ring , it's fairly underwhelming. It may be useful in the early game, but any player building Intelligence will quickly find a better alternat

Compared to some other boss cheese methods listed here, this one requires a few extra steps on the player's part. First of all, it requires Rotten Breath , which is a Dragon Communion Incantation obtainable in exchange for a Dragon Heart at the Cathedral of Dragon Communion . This means that in order to be able to cheese Maliketh this way, one needs to have killed at least one dragon earlier on in the g

Maliketh, the Black Blade is extremely susceptible to contracting Scarlet Rot , and with a few well-placed Rotten Breath blows , the infection will begin to take away chunks of his health on its own. Players will still need to show some skill by avoiding his attacks and making sure to keep the boss infected . With enough persistence, this is by far the easiest way to get rid of Malik

Cinquedea : The only useful thing that the Cinquedea does is boost Bestial Incantations—which are relatively lackluster—but as it stands that passive ability cannot outweigh the relatively poor base stats and inability to upgrade it without using Somber Smithing Stones. It's also in a difficult hidden location in Elden Ring that, as of Patch 1.03, is currently near impossible to obt

A lot of enemies in Shadow of the Erdtree are overly eager to wield flames, especially the notorious Furnace Golems . To defeat them and obtain new, powerful Hardtears, players must stack up on fire resistance armor in Elden Ring. This list has been updated to include the most valuable armor for mitigating fire damage across both the base game and the expans

Scorpion's Stinger : The Scorpion's Stinger is unique in its ability to apply Scarlet Rot to an enemy. When combined with a talisman such as the Kindred of Rot's Exultation , the Scorpion's Stinger can dish out serious dam

Crystal Knife : While it can boast impressive base stats, the Crystal Knife has relatively poor scaling that sets it back. However, it is one of the few options for a dagger player looking to explore an Intelligence-based bu

Erdtree Greatshield : The Erdtree Greatshield may not be the toughest shield around, nor is it the lightest, but it may just be the best option for any Faith builds. To start with, the Erdtree Greatshield is fairly light , coming in at just 13.5, and once fully upgraded, it offers a solid Guard Boost of 66. The real advantage of the Erdtree Greatshield is that it's impressively resistant to any type of Holy and Sorcery damage, making it the ideal choice for any of Elden Ring 's tougher mage fights. The top it all off, the Erdtree Greatshield has a Weapon Art that lets it deflect oncoming sorceries and incantations . Called Golden Retaliation, this Weapon Art can be used to absorb oncoming Magic attacks and launch them back at the enemy. Though the timing for this can be pretty difficult to nail down, especially in the heat of battle, a successful Golden Retaliation can deliver a devastating counter-b

While the basic Dagger can be used as an excellent weapon for a challenge run through Elden Ring , the unique daggers found throughout the game can be exceptionally powerful. In general, like swords, katanas, and other blades, daggers often apply a Bleed status to enemies—an extremely strong status effect in Elden Ring . This means that despite their limitations, daggers tend to be a high-damage, high-mobility choice that rewards players' skills even more than other opti

The chest and helmet of this set come in two variants: unaltered, with some cloth covering the metal base, and an altered variant, without any additional fabric on top. Whichever appearance fans prefer, they can be sure they're decently protected when fully equipped in this notable

In a title like Elden Ring Nightreign Ring , where bosses are enormous and their attacks tend to have absurd range, it takes a special kind of player to willingly choose a dagger. In truth, based solely on their short reach alone, daggers are probably one of the most difficult weapons to use in all of Elden Ring . However, when paired with a lighter equipment load, the right Ash of War choice, and a bit of cunning, daggers can actually be one of the most rewarding weapons to

The Fire Monk Set set is similar enough to the Blackflame Monk set. In fact, it looks like the orange or red variant of that armor. The stats are also somewhat similar between the two sets except the Fire Monk set gets the edge here a bit, especially in physical mitigat

The Moonveil build is one based primarily on speed and rapid attacks and regular use of its Ash of War, so Talismans that can take advantage of this playstyle shine. The Winged Sword Insignia and Warrior Shard are essential for increasing regular and special damage output, while the Carian Filigree Crest and the Lord of Blood's Exultation reduce FP consumption and increase attack power when opponents bleed.
