The Lord Of Blood’s Exultation is easily the most important Talisman of the bunch, however. Plenty of Talismans will work for this build, however, we’ve picked these as they hit every base we are looking to hit. Related: Elden Ring Build Guide: Faith Talismans

If you are going to use the Godskin or Uchigatana, consider pairing them with another Twinblade or Katana - heck, you could match the Uchigatana with the Rivers Of Blood, and the Godskin Peeler with Eleanora’s Poleblade if you wanted the best of both worlds. To make them even better, you will want to give them both Seppuku which increases your raw damage and Bleed build-up. You will need to infuse them to be Blood variants at the Blacksmith, at which point, they come into their own.

The Godskin Peeler and Uchigatana are both in the same boat - they aren’t necessarily effective Bleed weapons on their own. You can inflict Blood Loss on most enemies in a single running attack. Its standard attacks are much faster than the Rivers Of Blood - especially when doing running attacks. This weapon builds Bleed fast, deals amazing damage, and has the advantage of using the phenomenal katana moveset.Įleanora’s Poleblade is very similar, as this weapon builds Bleed ludicrously fast, and a lot of its damage comes from its very powerful Weapon Art. Rivers Of Blood in particular is brutally effective at killing everything thanks to its massively overtuned Weapon Art - Corpse Piler. WeaponsĪny of the above weapons will work wonders for this build. Whilst the build won’t be as effective against bloodless targets, our raw damage output will easily be able to power through. This means we are going to use fast weapons, stack as many buffs as we can, and destroy enemies long before they can react. This build is going to focus on dealing as much Bleed as quickly as possible. This will directly push our Physical damage up, giving us more utility when fighting enemies who can’t be bled - such as Skeletons. 45 is around the soft cap for Dexterity and will give us the most damage for the least amount of investment. Many Bleed-based weapons are Dexterity-focused, and that is what we are going to focus on.

The final major stat to consider is Dexterity. You could push some extra points into Arcane if you want, however, Dexterity could be a better place to spend those points. Not only will this make our Bleed weapons more damaging in terms of raw damage, but it will also make them much more effective at nailing those juicy Bleed procs. Next, we have Arcane, which is 45, which is around the soft cap for Bleed build-up. 60 is the hard cap, and we want to hit it. Vigor, unlike many other Soulsborne games, is vitally important in practically every build you will make. This will give us a healthy health pool that will give us more opportunities to deal damage since we won’t be dead. The first thing to note is that we have pumped out Vigor to 60.
