BEST FAITH DEX Build: Elden Ring Build For Elden Ring DLC

[@Harveyrocket]

Nice build I’m definitely gonna use it

[@AshenOneGaming]

Just melts everything!

[@JayBijou]

thanks for the build, it would be cool to see a more indepth guide on this specific build going over early game stuff

[@ghostpsb]

This is the perfect updated version of the build I was using thanks man!

ancient lightning incants: require faith bolt of gransax: fires ancient lightning bolt, no faith required for the weapon

[@MichaelS5400]

U know what I love about these videos? It’s not a dude saying “most op build ever! Look at the damage!!” And then he’s got 1hp, every damage buff possible applied. That’s not anything practical

[@blue_tempest]

Was already using Bolt of Gransax as one of my main builds, this just further improves it😂

[@Bleedthefreak]

I love that you threw in Tidus stupid laugh at the beginning xD props

Shall I just put it in every video from now? XD

[@eduardoroman08]

@@AshenOneGaming yes!

[@FWS_Sinister]

I searched for this vid after seeing the trailer had a lot of dex weapons and faith spells. But I still can’t decide if I should go full dex or full faith because i want to maximize my damage

[@danalways]

Go full dex to maximize physical damage for DLC, keen affinity can always be buffed further but you’ll miss out on physical damage with full faith. Invest enough faith for the spells you like the most and off hand a seal that buffs that damage type. My stats going into dlc are 75 dex with 46 faith.

[@FWS_Sinister]

@@danalways I think I’ll do the same, what seal should I use?

[@Roger-wp5me]

Do a dex build one run then faith build another run.

[@FWS_Sinister]

@@Roger-wp5me solid idea. just wondering which i should play first tho

[@antoniomayweathers7541]

[@FAM0US-M0NSTERS-]

I found using the spiked crack tear with the lightning shrouding cracked tear makes the build even more OP

[@simonjecho2773]

One of the builds that mostly works in lower NG+ because bolt of gransax deals not enough damage in higher NG+ you can still use the red lightning bolts but put another gravel stone seal in the other hand

[@crow_7717]

How are you doing that much damage? I have the build to almost identical and im not even hitting 2k damage

[@joshj2405]

i had the same problem i thought it was some youtube magic but you can actually hold down the left trigger or whatever your ash of war button is to charge it and it does more damage

[@sliehgtofhand]

I agree with Josh, if you're not holding down the button to charge your ash of war or your ancient dragon's lightning strike your base damage won't be anywhere near as high, and you won't get the benefit from the Godfrey Icon talisman.

[@Wow-fo2ym]

Might have to use this one

[@AshenOneGaming]

Let me knowhow you get on!

[@jakenathanielabad9452]

I would appreciate an early game build before getting to this

[@sickie1034]

What after 200 lvl? which starts prioritase?

[@abramelen]

Seriously that "My Fellow Tarnished" rocks! (ok ok I will not comment it on all your videos where you say it but if ROCKS!)

[@THE-OLDE-LORD]

a great build made by a great guy

[@AshenOneGaming]

An even better comment by an even greater guy!

[@THE-OLDE-LORD]

@@AshenOneGaming thanks

[@sliehgtofhand]

Dragon King's Cragblade is another thing you can wield in your main hand. Scales well with dex and its ash of war does chunk lightning damage which gets boosted by Shard of Alexander, Godfrey, and Lightning Scorpion. But that's only if you want to go hands on. Because you get it from Placidusax I think it fits thematically with the dragon cult incantation aspect of the build. Another incantation I use is Fortissax's Lightning Spear, just a great 'oh shit' incantation when you're surrounded by mobs and need a good aoe burst of damage without having to channel Ancient Dragon's Lightning Strike.

[@EpikAngel878]

I’m having a hard time deciding what build I want to make I like this one a lot but I don’t really know what I want yet

[@AshenOneGaming]

Here are all my builds to date :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/oZKceHSQmKdnadk&ab_channel=AshenOne

[@Greeper-ot6ty]

This build is very nice man. I Tested it yesterday by myself. I make a big amount of damage But Not as much as you. Still worth it, thank you.

[@nicorivera4]

Bolt of gransax + ancient dragon incants got me through my first play through nice and easy 👏🏼 been messing with unsheathe naga now

[@Kjellgrun]

I love this build it is carying me through ng 5 thank you

[@lvchie]

Great build thanks alot

[@metalravio4167]

just wondering here, what attacks would you do against the more fast paced bosses who don't provide as much distance and punish time, bosses like malenia or redwolf.

[@sliehgtofhand]

Bolt of Gransax is a flat out sniper rifle, it knocks Melania back if you charge it fully, as long as you use it close enough to her where she doesn't have room to dodge.

[@blazethegame]

Out of curiosity, roughly what spells and weapons do I use in order before getting the bolt of gransax? Right now i'm using the winged scythe and just beat Radahn, but I would like to know what sort of buffs I should be aiming for at this part of the game.

[@kieranholohan3133]

What are the minimum requirements for this build? I want to play this build but I don’t want the game to be too easy.

[@Poopi_Culio]

The Bolt convinced me to level DEX/Faith but I ended up sticking with the gargoyle great swords

[@joeknight2689]

This is awesome! Do you know if having a bolt of Gransax in the left hand still buffs the bolt in the right hand?

[@AshenOneGaming]

No it doesn’t :)

[@sosdeathvalley]

Holly hell as a new player might take some time to get there

[@iamfriendly6483]

Does this build scales more with dex or faith, cause in my playthrough I have a build of str and faith and I have 40 faith and these incantations don't really do much damage. I'm so confused on what to do with these incantations

[@TakeNotes2]

faith at 80 shreds

[@arman9175]

what would be a good stat distribution for this at sl 150?

[@Lilbabyja3zus]

Wondering this too!

[@LightBaka]

I've been using a variation of this build for a while now, currently level 156 in NG+1, my stat distribution is as follows: Vigor: 45 Mind: 31 Endurance: 27 Strength: 22 Dexterity: 43 Intelligence: 9 Faith: 50 Arcane: 8 Depending on the weapons you'll be using, you may want to reallocate some more points to Faith or Dex to boost your damage a little more. My damage output is high while still allowing a lot of flexibility/playstyles with a variety of weapons I use: bolt of gransax, black knife, great scythe, gravel stone seal, antspur rapier and longbow I have also experimented with the following weapons with great results: Dragon King's cragblade, Godslayer's greatsword, Golden Order Greatsword

[@Bio44444]

[@eligreg99]

Why restrict yourself to 150? 175-200 is the sweet spot for most end game fun

[@briangallagher6320]

Can you buff yourself further with Fire Grant Me Strength and Exalted Flesh? Maybe a perfume?

[@sliehgtofhand]

Flame grant me strength only works with physical and fire damage, and here you're dealing almost exclusively with lightning damage. Not sure about the other two.

Nice build, for the wondrous physic you can also use the spiked cracked tear for enhanced charge attacks for more damage from Blox of Gransax

[@littleadventures1108]

How do you allocate your flasks, mostly FP ?

[@dmurdah]

I'd put around 3, 4 at most because you should do enough damage that you don't have to spam much. For trash mobs you can just use the regular melee to avoid spending a bunch of FP.

We always start with what's best for stats to hit 150 and then break to RL200. So, if you rolled Faith and Dex back to hit an overall RL of 150 then Vagabond would be best class :)

Are all the clips from NG+? because if its NG1 (which i am assuming) it will be pretty misleading on your viewers, since they will do half maybe even less the dmg shown in the video on their own gameplay

[@redreaper8652]

Elden Ring DLC has a new power system that could make this build ineffective

[@AshenOneGaming]

We'll see!

[@SuspiciouslyMissingSock]

Care to elaborate? Because we don't know a whole lot other than what Miyazaki said in the letter he wrote talking about the DLC, and he didn't really explain how the new power scaling would cause builds to be ineffective.

[@redreaper8652]

@@SuspiciouslyMissingSock he said he wanted the player to feel the difficulty one again keeping in mind that the character builds would be close to endgame. This was mentioned in the interview. So it's very likely that the power scaling is meant to switch up the difficulty.

[@godlypushgaming]

I rumours are true this build sadly won't work in the DLC because it'll have a Sekiro styled leveling system to prevent overleveled plays from steamrolling through the DLC. Still a fun build to use nonetheless, thank you

[@haleynaga5671]

For damage wise i can't go beyond 80 on str/dex/faith aren't i? For both incantation and bolt

[@gabrielreichert5362]

Dumb question, if you're at 80 faith wouldn't the erdtree seal be better?

[@AantiiiHero]

He said that the gravel seal boosts the lightning damage. If I’m correct I think the erdtree seal boosts holy if anything at all

[@gabrielreichert5362]

@AantiiiHero it does boost lightning by 10% correct, the tree seal has higher faith scaling at high faith stats, I guess the gravel stone seal is better at lower faith stats I guess?

Just equip a gravel stone seal in your left and right hand you can only get 1 seal per playthrough so either go into new game or have someone drop you one

Faith/dex lighting build is not a level 150 build. It’s a level 200 build. You can do a 150 version of it but it’s going to be asf and not recommended.
