A Lightning Build SO BROKEN It Feels Like CHEATING - Elden Ring

There's a build SO STRONG it almost feels like borderline cheating. By combining Electrify Armament with a series of Buffs and the correct stats, the damage output of this build is like NO OTHER, in both PvP and PvE. Ranni, Melina and Roderika tell you all about it!

The mysterious weapon of this episodeLORDSWORN'S STRAIGHT SWORD

[@Frostwache]

guess i will try it just cause i got insulted enough to have the curage tho

[@neekxd2451]

The mistery weapon is the uchigatana

[@ArawnOfAnnwn]

You say the downside of the build is that it only has 17 Endurance. So how much Endurance do you recommend builds have? With the right mix of armor it is possible to reach 51 Poise without investing in any Endurance, so what's the point then?

[@darenwoolum4369]

Great vid fam! Question, I've noticed you dont have a lot of videos on Frost or any builds for it. Im looking into making a Frost build (More for PvE since I'm new to the game, but PvP option works too), would you have any recommendations or a build idea in mind?

No, Tarnished. You can't buff your fork by sticking it in the electrical outlet. Stop.

[@GalaxiaKnightX]

Thanks Melina for the wonderful build. I'll try it out when I practice for the DLC. Also glad that Roderika is feeling better after what she had been through. Anyways mystery thingie is Lordsworn's Straight Sword.

[@deadlynchunky7912]

😮 I just changed my build from magic to lightning, and now Emo Meli is kind enough to educate me on a proper build

[@xanthousizalith5641]

Brain make funny chemicals when the Cursed-Blood Slash gets all 4 hits. Definitely gonna use this build later though, looks like tons of fun.

[@Mebsuta]

So it's basically a buff stacking setup with lightning damage that happens to work for both dex and str... That's very cool. Thanks for the info. I wonder if it could be optimized further with a different starting class for lower level...

[@marcbow]

I also use the Lightening Slash Ash of War infused into my nagakiba and I make good use of Lightening Spear incantation. This is definitely a top tier build, so much fun.

[@KybonTheRenegade]

I tried royal knight's resolve on zweihander and did a charged r2 setup that was just dirty. A fully charged r2 hit for nearly 1800 damage in one hit. It was so glorious

[@dsksmotherfinemporium6589]

The prosthesis hand can be paired with that winged tallisman and also boosts dexterity when equipped

just now i fought someone with this exact build, both of us using talons except he had this build and i had BHS with lightning infused talons. long story short he got smoked but now im realising if I had his build id probably have smoked him harder

[@burns0100]

Erdsteel Dagger can be made Keen or Heavy, have Golden Vow put on it as it's Ash of War and then be buffed with Electrify Armament for some crazy damage as well for a Str/Fth or Dex/Fth build.

the mystery thingy is uchigatana Love your videos btw!

[@enigmatic8280]

Really appreciate the chart at 1:35.

[@kowalski4267]

i guess the mistery thingy is Uchigatana

[@THE_MOONMAN]

What about last rites? Golden epitaph ash of war? I haven't found anything it overwrites though I also don't use much buffs. I just keep one in my back pocket for undead areas to get true kill while not on a faith build. I'm assuming it falls into special buffs, which is cool for an aow of its nature

[@thepainphantom]

At first I thought the mystery weapon was Lordsworn's Straight Sword. It has the same numbers but only difference is the Crit (110).

[@KeenEyeVP]

I've pretty much done this build. It's awesome!! I had faith at 15 and used the Faith tear to be able to use Golden Vow and FGMS for Boss fights where necessary.

[@widgren87]

Tungsten Lego brick... I did not need that bit of nightmare fuel but now it is there to stay... Good Luck

[@affebanan3387]

Wouldn't the Godslayer seal be superior to the Erdtree seal at 56 faith? Was it chosen due to it's weight?

Is the mystery weapon it an Uchigatana? I love using lightning buffs because I usually run Dex builds.

[@bradleyschanze]

Oh oh oh that mystery thingy is the Uchigatana!

[@Mr_Axolotl__]

The weapon(s) are the uchigatana and the mace both have the same stats. So there you go

[@NICOCLASH]

It just happened that I'm using the mystery thingy in a new run today, it's the Uchigatana 😂

[@michaelbowman6684]

Another weapon of a completely different category works well with this strategy: Rogier's Rapier. It gets the same Weapon Buff Motion Value of 90 + 90 on the R2, which has a true combo out of Impaling Thrust, which works well with the Spear Talisman and the Shard of Alexander for juicy counter hits. Also, you forgot to mention the Thorny Cracked Tear, which functions the same way as Millicent's Prosthesis and the Rotten Winged Sword Insignia, and it stacks with them to provide an even bigger damage boost.

[@inkeddhorus4983]

Mystery thing is the Uchigatana… I’d recognize those stats anywhere

[@richardalbert3423]

How are you getting the Lightning Buff on both weapons?

[@maroosagaming]

i feel like people forget that anti magic, etc talisman exists to just make that build useless lol

Now for tarnished who doesn't know any button besides the right trigger golden land on a greatsword works wonders for brainless moments. Especially if u are in. 3v1 moment you can use the follow up attack to deal even more damage while creating a bullet hell if you use something like carian phalanx before hand

I wasn't expecting a reference to GTA San Andreas when i just took a break from the game to eat!!

[@streptococo4735]

It could technically be made even stronger by also using Millicent's chopped arm and the consecutive hit tear. Since those buffs stack multiplicatively, and Raptors talons have true combos, you are always guaranteed to reach max AR.

[@DerDarkN00B]

The Mystery Weapon is the Uchigatana, know that from heart cause the Samurai is my fav starting class
