Elden Ring's Strongest Builds Of ALL TIME [Final Patch | Break The DLC]

This video goes over the strongest Elden Ring builds of all time. Useful for if you need an overpowered build to head into Shadow of the Erdtree (DLC) or if you just need a good and full overview for everything that's possible within Elden Ring in terms of making insane builds. The list covers builds for every stat (and hybrid setups) and archetype, so there is something for everyone. Aside from these builds being insanely powerful, they're also very fun to play with! That's also a very important factor for making the list (and why I made them in the first place). Try as many of my builds out I'd say and let me know what you think!

The video DEFINITELY helped me narrow down what I want to play for DLC.... Was awesome to see a full recap of all your builds!

[@mvh-]

Bro the editing on these videos are insane. So engaging. Idk if you edit your own vids nizar but if you do then well done, if not props to you and your editor for making these bangers

[@dandymatt]

First build shown; Frenzied Lord. My favorite, that was a lot of fun when I tried it. Can't wait to see all the builds with the new DLC stuff!

[@mikeestill1672]

I don't have a name for my build, but I'm running a cold Lance with Ice Spear Ash of War and Ordovis' Greatsword. I've got Crucible Horns on there too. The frostbite proc from 2 or 3 ice spears is ridiculous, and then you can stun lock stagger with fully charged L2 with the Greatsword. When they get knocked down, knock them down again with fully charged horns. It's hilarious. I do my testing on who Youwy calls Steven.

[@SirianXM]

You really are the king of builds - the lore, the drip, the power 👌

[@CrappyCar]

I used a slight variation on the Captain build, and walked through the game. So powerful, thanks Nizar GG!

[@bigxhydro]

Used one of your mage builds a while ago. Now I’m 2 play throughs in at level 220 just having fun trying new builds with random weapons because I have so many rebirths available. Once you get so powerful you just do things for shits and giggles haha nice vid man ✌🏽

[@MeekoBourous]

You became Elden lord whole time using mage , and u still playing DLC like that??

[@italkalot8876]

I really like that he creates a story and believable background behind every single one of those builds… aside from the builds really appreciate the creativity man

[@Shirkules]

Haven't even started the video yet but the god of destruction build better be in here lol. That shit carried me through a playthrough

[@BowForGlory]

Shh

[@mynamesjeff347]

What is this god of destruction you speak of??

[@cuvince8591]

That was a build of firsts. First time I've ever soled Malenia on new game plus on my first try. First time I've switched builds because it made the game TOO easy 😂

[@konnosaeko9874]

Let's go! I was already using a strong build cause pyromancy is fun. Though I use a wide selection of weapons and I use lightning or blackflame as needed.

[@fishtheperson]

You were already one of my favorite creators to get build ideas from but the sponsorership for this video really confirmed my respect for you as a good creator and a good person.

[@balboa213]

for the artist build you can equip 2 antspur rapiers now

[@nirbittan1036]

amazing Video and god level editing , i tried some of the builds, especially mages/ranged build , according to my experience and opinion , so far the Lord of incantations[arcane-faith] build is the strongest and most versatile💪 , i am already in NG+3

[@TrilogySamm]

What an amazing video man, so much work put in here. Thank you alot man you inspired me alot

[@justing4838]

Currently reached Melina with the Chaos Blade build. Super fun to use

[@nublet-bz5qo]

the production values of these videos are really good, they always make me laugh.

[@billythenarwhal1579]

I made a build based off your plague doctor which used the sun spell alongside the poker weapon art to make a freeze on off switch with floor dmg.

[@bigdripper2017]

Bro this video finally gave me the inspo to tackle the DLC, thank you

[@KennyK423]

I've been using the Grim Reaper build you made recently for my newest playthrough but I feel like I'm not stance breaking as much as you are in that video so I commented on it and also asked around on Reddit and I've been told the build is outdated and doesn't account for newer updates and nerfs? Anything you would change on that build to optimize for the the newest patches?

[@hill-2000]

i like the format of the video and how you created a mini story for each class. but ill probably pick up the first cool weapon i see in the dlc and use it until i see another cool weapon lol

[@huckles6054]

Creating a new character for Shadow - This video is perfect! Now to make the hard choice on what to pick hahaha Thanks Nizar

[@ZomgLolPants]

i believe the phantom slash ash of war was patched to not apply status buildup from applied buffs, not sure if it applies it from base weapon stats though

[@SetsumaKaien]

I'm going into it with Dragon Cult Flash build. Debated my own Eleonoras Poleblade build, but I did most of the base game with it. Your flash build is just so damn fun, I'm taking it into DLC for my first blind playthrough!!

​@@cody3335 Glad I'm not the only one who sees it. 😂

[@NaomiGuardian]

I know most of us here are already Nizar GG followers, but in case anyone's new, I can attest to the power of these builds. When I got Elden Ring a few months after its release, I'd never played a Fromsoft game in my life and was struggling HARD. I found the Demon Paladin build, and not only did it carry me all the way through to the end of the game, but it gave me the opportunity to actually explore and learn to the point I've been able to play other builds, and am even dabbling in making my own! All that to say I stan Demon Paladin

[@Tom-ov6ul]

hey! is demon paladin still strong for a brand new player today?

[@NaomiGuardian]

@@Tom-ov6ul I'd like to think so! The fact that it restores health is alone a godsend for anyone new, but the attack power and versatility of this build are also amazing! You may not always melt bosses first try like more experienced players using this build can, but it allows you to learn the game without becoming so frustrated that you never want to play again. As a word of caution, starting up the build using Nizar's OP early paladin guide may be a tad more daunting due to the fact that I don't think you can raid the moving caravans until they're immobile now, but if you're clever and patient you should still be able to get through.

[@Tom-ov6ul]

@@NaomiGuardian thank you!! :)

[@Tom-ov6ul]

@@NaomiGuardian also i'm brand new and a bit confused, do you have to do the plain paladin build first? or can i go straight for demon?

[@NaomiGuardian]

@@Tom-ov6ul Paladin first! Unless you're already well into the game. The way Nizar makes his builds is he categorizes them early game, mid-game, and late game. Paladin is for early into mid until you actually get into Leyendell to properly explore and not just run and grab items. From there you can transition into the demon paladin build.

[@casemasterj21]

Been running a hybrid of your shadow hunter and warrior guardian sword spear power stance build and it absolutely rips. Best Elden Ring channel on KZbin

[@IAm.Messmer.Brother.Of.Malenia]

i can't express how excited i am for the rear facing blades. finally, i can make a faeblade build

[@sparksjoshua92]

If your talking like a KOA faeblade wouldn't the twin blades look more accurate? I mean swap the ashes for sure but asteticly speaking

[@RemingtonSteel]

I see you guys have good taste in games. *shame the studio went under. I'd love to see what they could do with today's hardware

[@KWSW]

Which build would be recommended for someone new to the game (just bought the base game + dlc) and through the DLC content as well?

[@LeonNg]

Because I only play 1 main save which is on Journey 3 right now so I cannot let myself enter the DLC with that NG+2 difficulty lol So I just started a fresh new save today to prepare for the DLC, got bored super quick but this Video help me regain my HYPE for NEW BUILD! Thank you Niza

[@sebastian4024]

Are there any updated versions of those builds? I want to try godslayer for DLC but the guide in the video is from over 1 year ago

[@lotheravanti4295]

Amazing builds, can't wait for the Expansion ones. I used your Bubble build to blow Malenia away on NG4+

[@jaren80]

Loved the Captain build a lot.

[@robertoporcedda6890]

A couple days ago I tried the shadow hunter build l, really strong, but I never got to proc bleed with the glaive, I had to use the grave reaper

[@sebastian-gs9ff]

I am strength build always, using mostly the heavy greatsword or /and the heavy greatsword of watcher, and the sword deals 13++ dmg with a crit to the first dlc boss ( that guy with the great sword), miscercordia does 1600+, and newly found, that light greatsword from the beginning, deals 1900+ dmg per crit hit.. and it’s only +24, not 25 ..all without special build at this time

[@sasukeupika5950]

congratulations, one of the most fun videos to watch about elden ring!

[@Bzk--]

Question about the blade of chaos build: I read that Black Flame Tornado is bugged and doesn't apply any bleed from consecutive hits after the initial hit. There's video proof of this, the dude was using Grave Scythe. So, does this work only with the particular weapon suggested in this build or was it an oversight from Nizar?

[@galactide]

yo all the builds on this channel are so good, can't decide which one to use first T-T

[@ZZzz-nb4ol]

This is peak content creation! Keep up the good stuff!

[@finnwoodhead]

[@zaccampa4055]

That bubble weapon is so funny. I’ve never actually used it because it looks like a meme lol

[@G4Master96]

I had no idea what that thing even did till I saw people saying it shits on everyone in the game and now that I know it's a bubble blowing machine I think I'm switching builds cause slapping the most feared creatures of the land with a bunch of lil soapy bois seems hilarious

Should I try, God of destruction, Strongest Samurai, or Cold blooded flame for first play through?

[@1234zorg]

[@Fedetrade]

The whips build was my first run without summons. It needed some skill, but it was gorgeous, you feel like Belmont from castlevania. The nigh blaid was too broken but cool as f***k. I dropped the archer run because it was booring farming materials for the arrows. The guts build goes sbonk.

[@TheNightstalker80]

Hell yeah, this video has em all, the most OP builds of all time! I love it! I haven't played in a while but I will restart when DLC is out. Which build would you recommend me to try? The last I did (and loved) was Death Knight with some customizations. I like versatile builds that don't require a lot of prep for a fight (no flask stuff or other pre buffing), just go in and get going. Also I love to use as much stuff as possible, I love great weapons but also spells and incantations so I really want something that can just do everything, everywhere all at once ;-)
