Elden Ring BEST Build - New Blasphemous Blade Faith Build Guide

[@MrMagyar5]

This blade got me my first play through in Elden Ring. I pieced together a faith /str build that was just terrible, but with this and Pest Threads I got through the Elden Beast. I remember buffing my self for reduced Holy damage and using the Holy damage resist trinket because I was struggling so badly. Melania was a NIGHTMARE and I eventually got her with this blade. It was pivotal for the win to keep my poor playing topped off in life. Long live the Blasphemous Blade.

[@rayana1517]

Possible on the first play-through? Just finished the game ( Not DLC yet )

[@peterh2290]

Just made it through Consort Radahn last night with this build. Ran the Dragon Greatshield Talisman and Haligdrake +2 for extra defense and swapped out Rakshasa's for something with a little more survivability. Brought a shield instead of dual wielding because I could not figure out the timing windows for some of the visual diarrhea that is his second phase. I credit the blasphemous heal for carrying me to the end.

[@tommybrad6393]

I never tried this blade until the dlc came out and everyone was saying how it got better and decided to give it a try. It's disgustingly effective, overall.

[@syeddanishanwer]

Thank you for this. I have found this build to be by far the best with most hits esp. against big bosses. Just defeated Midra with ease using this exact buuld.

[@AccuracyBeast]

Finally, something to test in the off-hand against The Sword of Milos. Been using this build ever since the end of my first playthrough. Power stance Strength is where my Journey began before dabbling with Magic and Faith. Didn't even try blood build until NG+ with 2 Gargoyle Twinblades

[@OrionnPax]

Man I love your videos. Been watching you ever since Monster Hunter Rise came out, and now that I’m playing Elden Ring I’m happily watching through your videos too!!! Keep up the great work man!!🙌🏼

holy hell this builds awesome 😂 cheesy as hell but that’s what I like most about this game! you can make it as hard or easy on yourself as you like 🔥

[@murderycatdoll1380]

This is actually my good old First ER playthrough build that i got in for my first DLC Playthrough. Milos and Blasphemous is just such a convinient combo for specially exploring.

[@somedude96]

Yeah...I soon as I read the description that this blade heals on hits and kills, I didn't need anything else. I didn't care if it does crap damage in the endgame or not. It's better to not die and chip away boss health than dying over and over again. Then I started watching KZbin videos about Elden Ring secrets and YUP! I was right! The Blasphemous Blade is indeed THE BEST weapon in the game.

[@jameswatkins1297]

Love this build. I have NG+ on my PS5 so I will try it there with the DLC. On the PS4 version, I am NG+ and have not entered the DLC arena yet, so I have the Flame-Shrouding Cracked Tear and the Spiked Cracked Tear for the physick mix; flip-flopping between the Sword of Milos and the Iron Greatsword(flame art). This build ran through Rennala's second phase like butter. Thanks for a great video and build.

[@T0LMANAT0R]

Nice build crafting, but I do have one critique: Erdtree blessing incantation is better than bestial vitality for hp regen. It regens more. Unfortunately they do not stack, so if you want the 'best' hp regen incantation, you should be using erdtree blessing instead of bestial vitality.

[@cd8086]

Blessings boon as well

[@EML_05]

Fp cost difference is huge tho... i prefer bestial vitaly because of the 1/3 cost of blessing

[@T0LMANAT0R]

@@EML_05 that's fair, if you don't have the FP for it, then bestial v makes sense in that case. Or, blessings boon, which is between the two.

[@kukangskye9644]

Blasphemous blade has always been my most favorite weapon.❤

[@meredith18352]

Took me until my 4th playthrough to discover the blasphemous blade, after an INT, INT/DEX and DEX playthrough I finally decided to try FAITH despite the constant warnings about how bad it was against the final bosses. Not sure why when the BB has no trouble with either and completely works with FAITH. This blade makes up for all of my short-comings as a player.

[@dranyth]

Faith isn't bad against the final bosses, Holy damage is specifically.

[@MrSnownah]

I like running the Ritual Sword Talisman outside of boss fights for just 10% more passive damage, then swap out for a different talisman for boss fights when using bloodsucking tear.

[@veritasome5965]

Fun fact: you can get a thrift store version of this weapon aka Serpent-God’s Curved Sword pretty early on. Don’t use it for damage, simply equip it in your offhand while 2h your main weapon & it will heal you every time you kill an enemy. BB is obviously far better of course, it’s just something to remember if you’re wanting to use a different weapon while keeping a passive heal without the weight. Enjoy:)

[@ZeroAnexietyMaster]

could you like stack it and have them both equipped? hmm

[@Tree1715]

I was struggling with the dlc but whenever I got too stuck, I got this out. I was too irritated by hearing my friend saying he was 4-5 shotting bosses with bolt of grandaxx while I was having to hit bosses countless times and having a +7 flask 🤣

[@KodenRing]

[@jeremy3824]

Drop the fire scorpion charm for something with defense like the dragon crest great shield.

[@saltysgene584]

I'd like to build this for later NG++. Currently still enjoying all the challange.

[@Moraxentertainmentltd]

Bro i love your videos thank you so much,you made my elden ring part 1 so easy so came for dlc,i was having trouble with renalla cuz of dex build then i went and changed my build to this blade and killed her first try after change,now literally killed her and came to yt to search its build and my brother you popped up,keep the good work ❤❤

[@kandisjoy]

I've been playing the older version of this (Fextralife's version) through the DLC. I one-shot almost everything, even bosses. It's insane! I switched over to a perfumer build for a bit (I felt like I needed more of a challenge) and decided to go back because the blasphemous blade build is just TOO fun! Thanks for the updates, I can't wait to incorporate some of this into my build!

[@Mr.freedom1]

Thanks!

[@BooDank1]

Bro no way, i made same build basically but also scaling vigor a bit more so its just a tanky faith build. Really fun if you pair with other weapons

[@DareToWonder]

I went for more of a shield and guard counter style for my build. Very lenient.

[@venkiteshanil1098]

Would it be good paired with the inseparable sword?

Thanks for the updates! Any reccomendations on how to get the blood sucking cracked tear? Cannot defeat that furnace golem no matter what build I use 😞

[@TheSayed320]

Try to spam pest thread spears incantation + memic tear while on horse he will lose stance easly and then hit him with your blade :)

[@jasonproctor1943]

Wake him up, jump down and ride through his legs into a courtyard with a building in the middle, go to the right-hand side of the building, and you will see a broken wall, climb up using the horse, and walking, follow the wall all the way round to the front, jumping and walking, trying not to fall off, as you face the golem, now out of view because of the wall, there is a corner that has collapsed on your right, a definite horse jump, you will find your self in a room, and a walkway above the golem, I threw 5 cracked furnace pots into the top of his ahead, and boom, got the tear

[@meredith18352]

Are you a faith build? If you are, try Ancient dragon lightning strike. You can also let your mimic use it. Ride torrent, spam the spell and jump when the golem does. I'm sure you will be able to do it.

[@NYTLYFE]

[@shadowskill111]

What are some early weapons that can be temporary replacements because these weapons are pretty far in the game.

[@meredith18352]

You can get the bloodflame incantation in Liurnia so anything you can add this on to will work well early. Try farming for a Halo Scythe in the swamp in Caelid, the Ash of War on the scythe is awesome for a Faith build. Early game is always a challenge and you often have to work with what you can find.

[@fiddlinman_1playsgames641]

​@illuminate8321 well... duh. You can pick 4 talismans that all boost the ash if you want. It has modest Stat requirements, and being a faith build, you probably also have golden vow and flame grant me strength. If you're building around the ash, naturally you use it. 😂 It trivializes even Bayle though, so I see why he says it's boring. If not using the ash, pick any other sword you want.

how is your seal on 353? at level 10 mine is 233, my faith only 47 but does getting it to the 70-80's really boost it 100+ more?

Sacrificial axe. Then two hand the sword and use the two handed talisman. You get the fp from the axe and more damage from the sword than you would power stancing it

[@0x0404]

I think? sword of milos was a little more fpl/kill than the sacrificial axe. But yeah. In that situation with DLC stuff power stancing isn't what it used to be. It was always a trade off since it had no faith scaling and you want to go high faith with blasphemous

[@Arvendor]

Guide is partially wrong, the sword scales better with Dexterity than Strenght even though they are rated D (go in any calculator and you will see, not sure why it does that) and this also makes us cast spell quicker (up to 70 dex). Also use Oil-soaked Tear Physicks for extra 50% fire damage instead of reducing your life over time. I'm sorry but this guide isn't the "BEST" build for Blasphemous Sword...

[@lzfranz855]

Strength increases resistance to physical damage. The weapon scales to C in both strength and dexterity and B to faith. It depends on what you prefer, but the build isn't wrong.
