8 BEST Dragon Incantations In Elden Ring

• It needs 36 FP, 23 Faith, 0 Intelligence, and 15 Arcane to use.
• You must defeat Flying Dragon Agheel in Limgrave’s Dragon-Burnt Ruins to get it.
• Trade two Dragon Hearts at the Cathedral of Dragon Communion in Caelid to get the spell.
• Good for characters with high Faith and Arcane stats.
• Excellent against shielded and high-poise enemies because of the flames coming from above.
• The spell can be used early, offering a powerful fire attack option.
• Can help you avoid ground-based attacks by casting it while jumping.

If you are low on FP and stats, then I suggest going for the Dragonfire incantation. Deals lower damage but also requires lower stats and stamina.

• It has a Stamina Cost of 48 and an FP Cost of 36.
• Rotten Breath requires 15 Faith and 12 Arcane to cast.
• Like other generic Breath incantations, Rotten Breath has a long wind-up time of 2 seconds.
• It covers a wide area and can occasionally ricochet from walls and non-destructible objects.
• The duration can be extended to breathe again, and you can swivel your character while casting to spew in different directions.
• It takes around 5 seconds to complete the full cast, including the initial wind-up.

• Potent frost-based Dragon Communion incantation and inflicts Magic damage and frostbite.
• Costs: 60 Stamina, 48 FP. Requires 23 Faith and 15 Arcane.
• Upgraded Dragonice, offering enhanced damage, AoE, and jump casting.
• How to unlock: Defeat Borealis the Freezing Fog in Mountaintop of the Giants.

After defeating Borealis the Freezing Fog, you can purchase the spell at the Cathedral of Dragon Communion in Caelid for two Dragon Hearts. If you enjoy Dragonice and seek a more powerful frosty dragon breath spell, then I recommend you to use Borealis’s Mist. This incantation allows for greater range and damage, making it a valuable asset in battle.

• Ekzykes’s Decay is a powerful Communion Incantation in Elden Ring, an upgrade of Rotten Breath.
• The spell deals increased Physical damage and inflict the Scarlet Rot status effect.
• It has a Stamina Cost of 60 and an FP Cost of 48.
• Ekzykes’s Decay requires 23 Faith and 15 Arcane to cast.
• Unlike Rotten Breath, Ekzykes’s Decay can be cast while jumping but not on horseback.
• To unlock Ekzykes’s Decay, you must defeat Decaying Ekzykes, found in Caelid.
• You can purchase the spell at the Cathedral of Dragon Communion for 2 Dragon Hearts.

Although the FP cost is high, the incantation effectively deals damage over a wide area and against late-game bosses like the Godskin Duo. You will notice a significant difference in difficulty when using Ekzykes’s Decay compared to Rotten Breath.

• Lightning Spear, a potent Dragon Cult Incantation in Elden Ring, inflicts massive Lightning damage with impressive accuracy, even against swift enemies.
• Charging it enhances damage, range, and poise damage.
• The Godfrey Icon boosts the charged spell, offering versatility and power.
• Though charged casting may miss more often, it deals AoE damage, ensuring damage on dodging targets.
• Accessible to a wide player range with low character stats and FP requirements—17 Faith and 18 FP per cast.
•  You can acquire it by defeating the Leyndell Knight and returning the Dragon Cult Prayerbook to Brother Corhyn at the Roundtable Hold.

• I consider the Frozen Lightning Spear to be one of the best dragon cult incantations in Elden Ring that deals damage and leaves a trail of lightning.
• It requires 34 Faith, 0 Intelligence, and 0 Arcane, with a 29 FP cost.
• The area of effect is conical, and after a short delay, marked areas are struck by the frozen lightning.
• Useful for controlling the battlefield or forcing enemies to reposition.
• You must defeat the Dragonkin Soldier of Nokstella to obtain Frozen Lightning Spear.
• You can best use Frozen Lightning Spear against large or grouped-up enemies and slow, ranged PvE fights.
• Boost damage with the Gravel Stone Seal, which can be equipped off-hand while casting with the primary seal.

• Honed Bolt is one of the best Elden Ring dragon incantations that conjure lightning bolts to strike nearby foes.
• Requires 24 Faith, 0 Intelligence, and 0 Arcane.
• You can acquire Honed Bolt by purchasing it from Brother Corhyn or Miriel, Pastor of Vows, after giving either of them the Dragon Cult Prayerbook.

The spell has a stamina cost of 29, deals lightning damage, and is boosted by the Gravel Stone Seal. Honed Bolt is known for its fast cast speed, chain casting capability, and lack of projectile travel time. I believe the incantation is pretty effective against multiple enemies in PvP and moving targets in PvE.
