Required Stats – Strength +60, Endurance +60, Vigor +35

Essential Items – Giant-Crusher weapon, Warcry Ash of War, Axe Talisman, Roar Medallion

One of the best Strength-based builds in Elden Ring. Players are easily able to crush any enemies with high health as this build does a lot of damage. In case you don’t defeat your target in the first hit, you’ve got huge stamina reserves to use up so that you can follow up with a second swing which will easily finish off your enemy. It is more of an endgame build but is possible to achieve early on with some farming as well. Players can also dual-wield different weapons in NewGame+ as well.

Best Elden Ring Dexterity-Based Build

This build solely focuses on Dexterity, the best-suggested class to start is Samurai. The dual Uchigatana in a NewGame+ is absolutely able to obliterate any enemies you face. As for using the Bloodhound’s Fang, it required a decent amount of skill and time put into that weapon, once mastered it can be a really deadly weapon.

The talismans paired with this build are also very helpful to scale your damage. The Ash of War is very important for the Uchigatanas as they are the key highlights of this weapon.
