[@vividelectromagneticradiation]

meteorite of astel for sure deserves a spot as well as rock sling

[@iconic4609]

Rock sling is definitely better that crappy Loretta’s bow

[@Islamic-v7y]

It does real

[@drogadepc]

The problem with Meteorite of Astel is that it requires the Flask of Wondrous Physick to temporarily avoid FP consumption, but has a much more limited range than Comet Azur

[@jaiwiegand5337]

Not having rock sling is a crime. 1 spell has carried me to elden beast single handedly

[@skellpy_]

you can get night comet AND staff of loss as soon as you start the game. its just dangerous to get it since its in caelid. 100% possible though.

[@Collin-H]

I wouldn't really call night comet a late game spell. It's in Sellia, town of sorcery. As soon as you get Torrent, you could go there. Lit the 3 flames and grab it from the chest behind the barrier You could get it within 20 minutes after making a new character, thus making the spell even better than you described

[@Tracer-cw6sv]

Yup. Got it for red wolf of radagon. I’d beat the two starter bosses and that was it. Got an amazing spell and staff

[@illynn]

True but it has like a 40 int requirement, usually I don’t put all my runes into intelligence at the beginning

[@beyaown]

I wanna clarify something about Rannis Dark moon and Renallas Full moon. The debuff that it applies to enemies IS NOT 30% EXTRA DAMAGE, it just simply lowers there CURRENT negations by 30% (30% for Ranni assuming it procs frostbite, 10% for Renallas)

[@Ana198]

What do you mean Night Comet is only attainable in late game, you can run and go get it and Staff Of Loss right after you get Torrent no problem?

[@marcusnordstrom9251]

2x staff's for night comet is 69% dmg increase 1.3×1.3=1.69. So it's even more busted with all the other dmg increases in the game, all of them get multiplied on top of each other.

[@diegoorozco8659]

add ritual sword talisman, godfrey icon, graven mass talisman, magic scorpion charm, golden vow and howl of shibiri for one of the most stupidly broken builds in the game haha

[@Valthe50Cal]

Nice

[@animusdemifiend2307]

Btw frostbite effect is not receiving 20% more damage when affected by it, but rather reducing the resistances by 20%. So it depejs on how bulky the enemy is to see the difference. The ranni moon also absorbs incants and sorceries serving as a good bait for magic spammers.

[@thally4061]

Dude what? Thats like saying I don't eat with a fork, I use utensils to put food in my mouth. When you cause them to drop 20% resistance, they are now taking 20% more damage. Its not rocket science so stop trying to make it like so. Do you think you're smart?

[@animusdemifiend2307]

@@thally4061 that a good point tho. Still, slow your roll, you ain't saving anyone by insulting on internet.

[@animusdemifiend2307]

I do wonder, is reducing 10 res to 8 the same as reducing 80 to 64? Im no matemathician but someone somewhere explained the diminishing return thingie in a video regarding stacking buffs to spam Astel Meteorite.

[@writtenworlds]

Carian Piercer is amazing too, Gavel of Haima and Cannon of Haima should both be in the top 5. Also, Rock Sling is just necessary. It's damage falls of, but it's use against crystallians and magic resistant enemies is genuinely necessary on a pure magic build.

[@bodizsattila9044]

Agree on night comet, but Stars of Ruin is top tier too. Especially because you can cast it on a horse, moving away from the enemy. So basically you can cast it on an enemy behind you.

[@trevorfahey3819]

Not shown or discussed in the video, but I'd like to add that there's a jumping attack with the Carian Slicer. That gives the spell potentially the greatest mobility for a spell in the entire game, gives playing a mage a whole new dynamic cuz you don't always have to run away and cast. Great video regardless!

[@BlueLily342]

I started elden ring as a samurai but decided to restart because i wanted to do a spell build. Glad i did because now i know about sword spells, its like the best of both worlds.

[@MohammedAls66]

It's doable with Samurai. You go moonviel and a decent staff and max int. Crazy OP

[@kubakowalik6598]

Night comet is very nice, but i prefer using Jelly Shield (with 20 str 14 dex, so i can use buff mid fight without swapping to two handed). its +20% damage to *all* spells and damage types, and Comet deals more damage than Night Comet (need 2 staffs of loss to outperform, but then all other spells are weak). And Night Comet being invisible is nice, but the amount of damage that Stars of Ruin can pull of its like 2300 on night comet vs 6000 on stars of ruin, and enemies can't dodge stars of ruin either. Im running with Terra Magica + Comet Azur + Stars of Ruin + Adula Moonblade + Ranni Dark Moon + Loretta Longbow + Carian Slicer. Overall i'd say Adula Moonblade is the best spell, it just works everywhere and is incredibly fast, huge melee dmg, big stagger, big AOE, frostbite status. And vs bosses/minibosses and tanky enemies Comet Azur obviously, except for few Dragons and magic resistant enemies Meteorites of Astel is better, but its very rare, i just swap to it on place of grace if i need it.

[@ValianTCoC]

I just started ng+1 for my 1st time beat elden beast today as a strength vigor build with blasphemous blade +10 Now I used a larvel tear to start an intelligence build and I've loved it so far. Slammed 60 intelligence and now I'm so powerful ( I beat elden beast at level 114 - now I'm level 128 in ng+1

[@common_undead]

Missing out quite a few spells imo, but then again, I find playing an int caster incredibly boring outside of pvp, so these are probably more pvp oriented. Zamor Ice storm and Night Maiden's Mist. These are excellent zoning and anti-camping tools. Zamor ice storm is also a get off me spell, since it makes out trading you very difficult as long as you are in the storm due to the continuous damage and frost buildup. Carian Piercer and Gavel of Haima. Carian Piercer is an excellent panic roll catch and Gavel is very good for people who roll into you to attempt a trade. Swift glintstone shard, star shower and shard spiral. Swift glintstone is your ranged bread and butter, being able to hit enemies while remaining extremely mobile, since you can cast this while jumping, running, and right after rolls with virtually no start up frames. Star shower is your option to get people to dodge continuously. Shard spiral gives you a chase down option, since it's a slow moving projectile that will force a roll eventually. It also chain casts with comet/ night comet. Magic glintblade and cannon of Haima. Magic glintblade allows you to setup traps and delays to discourage aggressive enemies as well as to force rolls. Cannon of haima allows you to lob a magic mortar shell at enemies over obstacles that may block you and prevent standard engagement. Collapsing stars. Pulls enemies off ledges and ladders. Can seperate crowds. Can be used to setup a panic roll and then a catch with Carian Piercer. From a pve perspective, you're missing out on rock sling and meteorite of astel, since they deal physical damage, they are vital for any mage build going against magic resistant enemies. The only pick I'd disagree with in the list is greatblade phalanx, simply because if you want an anti aggressor tool, the glintblade phalanx ash of war does more poise/ stance damage, uses a fraction of the fp, and costs no stamina.

[@GB2G]

Same, I used to find magic kinda boring. The last time I played Elden ring was a month after it’s release. I had already clocked in 230+ hours and beat the game like 7 times. I was burnt out. Came back now and made an intelligence build around the moonlight great sword. It’s beautiful. Since I have high intelligence I use a staff in my offhand and combining some strong spells with the moonlight greatsword might actually make me come back to the game

[@GB2G]

I just wish the game was more linear for repeated play throughs. Like a boss rush mode from sekiro. just want to fight all the bosses back to back without running for 30 minutes in between. And since i’m a high level, I just kill the bosses in 45 seconds and have to walk across the map for another one.

[@manillawilla]

Hey new to the channel, and I wanted to compliment your script for this list. I laughed at your night comet commentary, keep it up!

[@christianmata9632]

[@ericperen6479]

That’s what I was going to say. Absolutely destroys large bosses.

[@mmcmullen8543]

For PvE you only need three spells: invisible form, rock sling and night comet. Rock sling has greater range than any bows or Loretta's greatbow. Pair with banished knight oleg or another super aggressive summon to keep aggro and the game is a breeze Get the gavel spell for enemies like crystallians

I've only beaten 1 story boss and I have night comet. I don't think you need to wait till late game to take out the enemies there--just a bloodhound fang will wipe the floor with the sorcerers. And 30 minutes of grinding to get the Int stat.

[@drogadepc]

Note that, with the current patch, Malena CAN doge Night Comet. She also starts aggro immediatly instead of only as the player attacks.

I am quite surprised that rock sling is not on the list because od it's good general use for pretty mucu everything.and it is especially use full when fighting magic resistant enemies like renala

[@SporeCreature2]

its cast time is really holding it back

[@Ecliptor.]

It's good early game, but it's outclassed by a lot of things, mainly everything in this list. Like the other guy said, it takes a lot of time to cast, can't really spam it, and the rocks are so big they sometimes hit clutter and disappear, or straight up miss the target. It's definitely top tier at the start tho, and as you said, good against Rennala or Red Wolf. But you can just use a normal weapon at that point.

Night comet is literally all you need. If you’re not going to use comet Azur for a stationary boss, you should be using night comet. No enemy can dodge it. Staff of loss for 30% dmg buff off hand. Lusat staff for extra dmg, not worth it imo, or carian staff. Best late game staff

Lol "won't be using as much" he says. Meanwhile, I'm late into the game and still using Loretta's Greatbow because it's still pretty good against a lot of rank-and-file enemies that aren't too tanky; the damage is still pretty decent. Anyways my top 10 in no particular order: 1) Cannon Of Haima 2) Rocksling (Great for staggering enemies/bosses the and the delay before casting means that it can usually hit fast enemies before they can dodge) 3) Adula's Moonblade 4) Night Maiden's Mist 5) Loretta's Great Bow/Mastery 6) Great Ocular Bubble 7) Ranni's Dark Moon 8) Night Comet (non-charged attacks will usually hit fast/nimble enemies) 9) Roiling Magma (Can be a little finicky to use but it's explosion can cause big damage and it can lure in unsuspecting enemies that aren't too far away from it). 10) Stars Of Ruin
