I can’t believe I forgot to talk about the Vykes Dragonbolt Incantation! This is one of the best! It will cause your weapon and body to be covered in red lightning adding about 250 extra lighting damage stacked on top of your physical attack power! ⚡️
Yeah I love that too! In most cases I don't have a char that just gets respecced, but create a new one and then it's always difficult to figure out how to level up over time and what to focus on. Of course you could figure it out within the playthrough, but this way it's much better :)
I'm new to Elden Ring, and I always come to your channel for information. You've helped me enjoy this game so much that I just wanted to stop by and say thank you very much, man. You're awesome! 🙏
Wow this is this first video where a TH-camr actually takes his time and show you the build from lvl 50 to 250.. Great video man. Sub most definitely earned.
You should definitely offhand the Gravel Stone Seal when casting lightning incantations. Even if it's not upgraded at all, just holding it in the offhand while casting with your other seal boosts those lightning incantations by another 20%
I actually have a current build based off of two Gravel Stone seal 2x lighting stacks(im lvl 355), really works wonders. I love this build though, may have to use it lol
Gravel Stone seal - bonus 20% to lightning incantations. Much better for your 150 version. Especially seeing as erdtree doesn't out scale the other seals until 80 faith. :) nice video mate. Enjoy your content!
Gravel stone seal is +15% bonus to dragon cult incantations. Erdtree outclasses the other seals from 69 faith upward, not including multi-stat seals with high numbers in both/all stats, but since that requires a very high investment at the cost of other stats, or just insanely high levels, erdtree is generally the better one. However, if you're only using dragon cult, you might as well stick with the gravel stone seal - even at 80 faith Erdtree gives 353 incant, whereas Gravel Stone has effective incant of 366 when casting dragon cult incantations.
Again awesome guide, just 1 thing which I noticed while watching this: Keep in mind that flame, grant me strength will only increase the damage you do with physical attacks (bolt of gransax non ashe of war attacks, uchigatanas). Still a really strong incantation in this build, but I know that there are definitely some people who leave out the uchigatanas because they just use bolt of gransax for the ashe of war, so keep in mind: Only use Flame, Grant Me Strength if you go in for melee with physical attacks. But again, awesome guide, just like the Int/Strength Build with the Dark Moon Greatsword!
I suggest using the highest incant scaling seal in this case erdtree seal for casting the incations but still hold the gravel stone seal in the other hand for additional damage boost.
I just started playing Elden Ring recently "I know I'm late, as always" but I'm shocked on how many build varieties there is. I went in expecting to pick a class and be that for the rest of the game! but it turns out the class you pick only determines your early game than you have absolute freedom to pick and choose. Love it!
Getting back into Elden ring and was trying to find the Best build for my new character and this definitely is the one I’m doing! Can’t wait to try it!
I've now reached the Mountaintop of the Giants area and was thinking of doing a respec from my Greatsword/Clawmark seal build and try something like this. It just looks cool as hell. Also, a good thing about it is that you can change your BoG to Godslayer GS if you want, scales with Dex/Fth as well. These 2 weapons are visually some of my favourites
@@ColdBwoyy yeah, too bad bog doesnt really need poise/heavy armor but godslayer does need a lot of it. I guess I can just stick to bog or pump endurance more/ use great jar's arsenal
Was going to say it myself but if he had it it would increase the weapon and multiple incantations i believe it stacks with the shard of alexander too you would just have to play slower without the turtle talisman
Don’t sleep on the other 2 lightning spells. They can cause very high damage in close range. The one that has the double spear hits with both spears and residual lightning on the ground. The single one will knock back enemies with the exception of bosses/mini bosses
I love the faith dex build its so much fun. I personally use a ton of different weapons in this build so I raised my strength in order to use those different weapon. Aside that it was pretty much the same as yours :)
I've got a level 50 strength faith build but wanted to change to more Dex/faith cos I don't like the slow playstyle. Do you think it's too late for me to switch?
@@KakuraZenom ok thanks. This is my first fromsoft game so I went with a paladin build because I heard it was easy to do. Found out I really like using uchigatana so I think I'm gonna transition to faith/dex
Just watching this now I’m starting elden ring as a brand new player this is definitely the build I want. I’ve been doing my research to decide which one I want this is definitely it
Btw, there is no reason to start as Warrior with this build as you did in the tutorial, Vagabond is best for min maxing since it has the least combined stat total of arcane and intelligence (the two stats that aren’t used in this build) the total is 16 while warrior has 19, 3 wasted levels there with the same lvl total
One of the sickest, most cool looking builds I’ve ever seen! I’m halfway through my first play through as a Moonveil mage but I’ve gotta try this build on my next play though!
Faith is really fun and versatile, theres tons of damage types, weapons, and Incantations to choose from when building out a character. Most of the cooler end game boss weapons scale with Faith so I think you'll have a blast. I did a faith build on my 3rd playthrough. It turned out really sick imo. On my 2nd playthrough/Build I made an Astrologer Pure Intelligence Wizard with Carian Regal Sceptor, Moonveil Katana, Wing of Astel, and Dark Moon Greatsword. I usually kept both Moonveil and Wing of Astel equipped and would switch between the two depending on the enemy type. If you haven't tried out Wing of Astel, I highly recommend it, the weapon art is badass and stun locks a bunch of enemies.
I recently bought elden ring and was looking for some fun build, you're the first one who showed me step by step what do i need with all items in description, thank you man, you made my game better
I love Faith Builds more than any other type because there are so many ways to build your character. A Strength/Faith would be great with Blasphemous Blade and Fire Incantations. I have a Faith/Dexterity build with two Sacred Relic Swords, Tree Sentinel Shield, two Marika's Hammers, Leyndell Armor, Erdtree Seal and I use holy buff type Incantations. He is a Holy Paladin type, and I didn't give him a name, I just name my builds and his is Sacred Justice. Hand of the Erdtree had too many characters lol. I also use the Holy Cracked Crystal Tear to up my Holy Damage. My Astrologer Pure Intelligence Wizard is named Cosmic Alchemist and my Arcane/Dexterity guy is Mohgwyn's Wrath for now. I really like your build here, the build has a solid Identity and I really like that aspect to building out a character. My Quality Vagabond still needs a name, it's my favorite so I just use my PSN for its name at the moment.
Tried fire avatar:))) Amazing, greatsword, bloodflame, all fire incantations, talismans etc, really fun. And the aow (lion's idk, u jump overhead and hit like a truck)
Thanks for this video! Now after 105hrs, lvl 171 i finally reach this Build. It was very cool to build and play up till this now! I will upload a short video about my build and credit with a thanks to you in my description! Now iam prepared for the dlc.
I know it's and old video(still 1.10 though, I believe?), but I feel like it should be pointed out that your 50-150 stat distribution never has strength at 20, which is a requirement for Bolt of Gransax. Just in case anyone out there leveling up a new character for the DLC(or new player or bored and trying it out) is intrigued by this build like I was - you're gonna want to grab 5 points from other stats and throw them into strength. Otherwise you'll be forced to 2 hand. Thanks for video :)
Sick build! Just a note though, it sounds like your mic is peaking at different points in the video. Your gain might be set too high when you're recording audio. Cool vid!
I would recommend instead of putting bloodhounds step on your uchigatanas, you could put on a bleed ash of war. Or keep the base ash of war, or even go with an ash of war like thunderbolt, it fits the lightning build. It’s nothing against bloodhounds step, but it was also recently nerfed. One last thing, you don’t need an ash of war on both uchigatanas, you need it on just one
Hi I have a question! You list this same build in your S tier faith builds video. Which should I use since there are differences between them. Also, whenever I equip bloodhounds step on my uchigatanas it only gets B tier dex scaling. Is there a reason for this? Thanks love the videos they’re super helpful.
Great video! I'm using this build for my first playthrough! I did have a question, though. The Bolt of Gran requires 20 str and 40 dex to use, but at level 150, you have str set at 15. Am I missing something that makes up the other 5 points? Keep making these great videos!
Lightning incantations are so cool but they have such specific and few optimization options that you run by the same spear/thrust sword weapon builds in Coop/PVP over and over again. And there are not enough weapons with AoE options that scale with faith. Katanas are cool, but they would hit harder with some optional faith scaling. I was playing a faith/strength build and ran on similar limitations. Using Malikeths Black Blade with some hard hitting lightning incantations felt certainly more rewarding than using the katanas, but at the same time, you‘re stuck with destined death. And using another Colossal Sword like Greatsword feels underwhelming towards endgame, cause you‘re missing out on faith scaling and lightning infusions that only scale with dex. Kinda frustrating. Hope the DLC gives us some nice new options.
Build looks SO lit man! I''m a Eldren King noob, I was playing a pure INT mage but got bored with the gameplay and switched out to to a faith/dex build. Seems like I made the right choice, so much options compared to an INT mage. I'm level 30, what would you recommend focussing on? I might level mind up a bit as the lightning spears are taking a lot of mp
Now, I'm not using bolt of gransax, not because it's not good, it's insanely good. I'm not running it because my basic lightning spear does nearly the same dmg as seen by gransax in this video. I just have 0 in dex because the firm 0.13 second cast time improvement from 99 dex plus radagon is a hard joke. But Im quite confident that if I brought faith and arcane to 99 then I'll have more dmg with basic lightning spear than the bolt of gransax. We are talking about 3,000 plus damage quickly cast spears that are a must dodge/block or die lol I was inspired by this video so I had to come back to it. I'm using dragon communion seal and a gravel stone in the off hand for the buff, then I keep both incant talismans for the 4% and 8% buffs. The rest is irrelevant
Any reason why your not using the dragon cult seal. When I went full lightning I used both seals. I used both dex and strength weapons but found that I enjoyed just using the lightning and if I needed to use a weapon it was the weapon you’re using. Had a great time with that build.
@@Ghost-ri4xn there's no such thing. The Dragon Communion Seal boosts the dragon incantations you get from turning in hearts at the dragon cathedral. It wouldn't help here. The Gravel Stone Seal is the one that boosts the lightning incantations.
Yep, I use Granssax's for range and swap to Cragblade to gap close and cast Ancient Lightning on bosses. If they're big, that's enough to kill them in seconds.
Thank you so much for this video! I just beat the game on my first playthrough last night! I used ur video to help me out because I'm doing a lightning build as well. I modified it a little bit to fit how I play but still thank you!!!
Interesting idea: if you don't care about the thematic stuff, put a bit more into strength (sacrificing a bit of dex) and use fire damage as well as not many bosses resist fire and lighting at the same time. Edit: this only works on higher than 150 builds
Showcase that shows a level 200+ char. I can literally make any character build broken at 200 lol… Somehow the “recommended” level 100 stats given still don’t meet the requirements for bolt of gransax either, which is half the entirety of the showcase :p.
Man crazy build Looks so badass! Just started playing the Game few days ago and randomly came across your vid, exactly what i was Lookimg for 😍 WhatsApp incantations and weapon do you recommend before Getting all the magic and stuff you Need? Especially for early game?
What were some of the go to weapons used while working towards that Bolt of Gransax? I have been using Winged Scythe + 10 for a while now, but the further I go, the weaker it feels.
What ash of war do you put on the second uchi? Or do you have bloodhound step on both and then keen? If you're dual wielding then it will use the second uchi's ash I think.
If dual wielding it uses the right hand with the only exception being shields where it uses the shields ash of war on the left hand instead of your right hand weapon
does it matter what starter class i chose? i started out with Samurai and want to do Str/Faith build but i didn’t know that at first, also i played an Int build and hated it. Is faith like Int?
Great video! Definitely gonna use it as inspiration for a new build 😊 But some people, myself included, get triggered by “obviously”, it’s not always so obvious and you use it every other sentence. Otherwise, keep up the good work!
Hi! I just recently bought Elden Ring for the first time and am currently doing my first playthrough. May I know if there's a reason why you used the Uchigatana instead of the Nagakabi?
I think the starting class is warrior because when he is in the attribute points section it shows Intelligence(10) and Arcane(9) are the not leveled up attributes. The only class with those starting values is warrior.
Awesome vid. Got grandax, ice bolt, en honed and lanssex. Any idea to replace the uchigatanas? I am using one and I am feeling i am still getting besten
This build is fire! It actually helped me kill Maliketh! Thank you Edit: I nixed the lighting spear and put a thunderbolt on my regular katana that I maxed out, so if I have slightly weaker enemies I just zap them a small area.

@@Ghost-ri4xn there's no such thing. The Dragon Communion Seal boosts the dragon incantations you get from turning in hearts at the dragon cathedral. It wouldn't help here. The Gravel Stone Seal is the one that boosts the lightning incantations.
Also a good weapon with this build would be placidusax’s cragblade
Oh yeah 👍🏻
Yep, I use Granssax's for range and swap to Cragblade to gap close and cast Ancient Lightning on bosses. If they're big, that's enough to kill them in seconds.
im lvl 100, last boss killed was Radhan. What kind of gear should I use? great video!
I personally think double scimitars with bleeding will be perfect
Awesome raiden idea! Actually came to this vid for tips on my scorpion build haha
Thank you so much for this video! I just beat the game on my first playthrough last night! I used ur video to help me out because I'm doing a lightning build as well. I modified it a little bit to fit how I play but still thank you!!!
Good job! 💪🏼
Using this as a base for my "ky kiske" (guilty gear character) build 🎉 thanks for the brackets
@ColdBwoyy what is the starting class for this build? It's a really amazing build it gives me an idea for my elden ring run
I think the best starting classes would be samurai or warrior
@@ColdBwoyy thanks for much for that keep up the great content you just got yourself a new subscriber
@@StarcubReviewthank you so much 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Awesome guide. Great breakdown and walkthrough, alongside wonderful gameplay. 😁👍
Thanks for watching! I appreciate the comment!
I just wanted to ask what do I use in the early to mid game only because lots of weapons require strength
Interesting idea: if you don't care about the thematic stuff, put a bit more into strength (sacrificing a bit of dex) and use fire damage as well as not many bosses resist fire and lighting at the same time. Edit: this only works on higher than 150 builds
I was kinda feeling like I wanted to go this route on my confessor. Beautiful guide. How about a dragon build?
Honestly this build is amazing. Definitely using it on my next play through. A little confusing with the incantations though but that’ll be fine
Thanks for watching 🙏
How are you fitting those stats under lvl150? I can't make those fit in less than 152 on MugenMonkey build calculator.
Thank you soooo much do you have any tips for Gold Godfrey❤
Showcase that shows a level 200+ char. I can literally make any character build broken at 200 lol…
Somehow the “recommended” level 100 stats given still don’t meet the requirements for bolt of gransax either, which is half the entirety of the showcase :p.
Man crazy build Looks so badass! Just started playing the Game few days ago and randomly came across your vid, exactly what i was Lookimg for 😍 WhatsApp incantations and weapon do you recommend before Getting all the magic and stuff you Need? Especially for early game?
another good one, good shit my man
Thank you so much 🙏
What were some of the go to weapons used while working towards that Bolt of Gransax? I have been using Winged Scythe + 10 for a while now, but the further I go, the weaker it feels.
the winged scythe definitely isnt a great weapon during endgame
Amazing video, thank you!
Thanks for watching 💯
Should I use wretch for this? Qnd is this good for pvp?
What ash of war do you put on the second uchi? Or do you have bloodhound step on both and then keen? If you're dual wielding then it will use the second uchi's ash I think.
If dual wielding it uses the right hand with the only exception being shields where it uses the shields ash of war on the left hand instead of your right hand weapon
@@shadowolf2566 nice one, thanks for that. Yes the shield part confused me when that ash of war took over :)
Can I switch the swords to a Nagakiba coz im playing on PC, dual wileding button is confusing
does it matter what starter class i chose? i started out with Samurai and want to do Str/Faith build but i didn’t know that at first, also i played an Int build and hated it. Is faith like Int?
Great video! Definitely gonna use it as inspiration for a new build 😊 But some people, myself included, get triggered by “obviously”, it’s not always so obvious and you use it every other sentence. Otherwise, keep up the good work!
Hi! I just recently bought Elden Ring for the first time and am currently doing my first playthrough. May I know if there's a reason why you used the Uchigatana instead of the Nagakabi?
Higher scaling, does more overall, has a bigger hotbox too
Would you recommend using Dragonscale blade? Its such a cool weapon and i was wondering if its viable in this build
It would be a great addition to the build 👍🏻 why not!
Hi, i have a question, in what class should i start to make this build?
I forgot to say thank you and great viedo!
Confessor
Would you recomend using Uchigana (sorry for typos) or Rivers of Blood?
Uchigatana you buff the uchigatana with other buffs. Rivers of blood is for bleed type of build
Any other katanas you could use in place of the uchigatana? or do you have them in the build for a reason
Nagakibas are better
What's the requirements for these items and armor. I just started. What bosses should I beat before getting these weapons/incantations
I’m starting the game now for the first time would like to go with this build. Which character I start with
Warrior, samurai or confessor
What class do i start with?
I just got done making a majority of the build and it\s really amazing! only need ancient dragon\s lightning strike which I sadly can\t get yet left.
I’m tryna go for this build as closely as I can (im at the Radahn fight so yea)
Does flame grant me strength and vykes dragonbolt stack ? They are both body buffs
Hmmm I’m not sure tbh
No, they don't.
I’m level 150 and I can’t level like you do. Also how do you use the weapons with 15 strength? Great rune?
If I'm just starting and want this build, what class should I start with?
Same here,I went with the prophet for the faith boost but I'm not a huge fan of the spear so I've gone with the morningstar mace for now....
I think the starting class is warrior because when he is in the attribute points section it shows Intelligence(10) and Arcane(9) are the not leveled up attributes. The only class with those starting values is warrior.
hey, which starting class should i pick for this?
Awesome vid. Got grandax, ice bolt, en honed and lanssex.
Any idea to replace the uchigatanas? I am using one and I am feeling i am still getting besten
Hello, I was wondering what character I should start with
The dragon scale katana has a special ash of war that can coat it in frost lightning so I was wondering if it could be good to use for this build
Thanks dude this kicks ass
This is the build I use to help my friends in co-op. Basically one shots all invaders.
What stars do you want to mainly focus on
You’re sleeping on the Cragblade from Placidusax, that weapon art rekts
so, what weapon do you use before you can use Bolt?
I’m new to this game currently running the bloodhound but this looks like the type of build I want to run. Is this still a good build today?
Yes they buffed almost everything used here
This build is fire! It actually helped me kill Maliketh! Thank you
Edit: I nixed the lighting spear and put a thunderbolt on my regular katana that I maxed out, so if I have slightly weaker enemies I just zap them a small area.
Great work! Glad you enjoyed the video
I just began elden ring, so when do you think I will be able to make this build?
I'm currently using a hybrid lightning and ice build and the result is excellent.
Do you aslo can use the Nagakiba Katana instead of the second Uchigatana and deal the same amount of damage ?
Nice video i love theses type of build
Someone know the music at 3.25
for me, instead of green turtle talisman i use godfrey icon to boost the damage of bolt of granssax ash of war and some of the incantations
is the build good though what level are you?
@@FaizanKhan-dj9jf im currently at lvl 170+ , the build is good enough against enemies but i had the most fun with this build
@coldbwoyy great content, wouldn't you need higher STR at lower levels to use the bolt weapon?
Yea that is true!
