Elden Ring: The BEST Deathblight Build

Elden Ring has an intense storyline, exciting quests, and dungeons to explore. Amongst that madness comes a plethora of best builds that players can mix and match to conquer enemies and defeat the most formidable opponents, and this is where the Elden Ring Deathblight Build steps in. 

Deathblight Build In Elden Ring

Following is a summary of the Deathblight Build in Elden Ring:

Attributes

Like always, there are a few attributes to focus on in the Deathblight Build, three being primary and the last one secondary:

• Strength 
• Dexterity
• Faith 
• Vigor 

Weapons

Here are all the Weapons that work the best with the Deathblight Build:

For the Deathblight Build, even weapons are more unconventional, as you will use a shield as a primary weapon instead of any staff or sacred seals. 

Erdtree Greatshield

The Erdtree Greatshield is the main star of this build, with its main aim to reflect even the best spells and corruption-based debuffs that are launched against the players; the shield itself can also be used as a weapon to launch deadly shots at enemies and friends for PvE and PvP. the weapon itself scales off of Strength and Faith, which allows players to cast insanely strong incantations on their opponents.

The shield’s skill, “Golden Retaliation,” is essential here, unleashing its protecting magic that will instantly reflect all witchcraft and spells back onto the enemy, whether in PvE or PvP.

Eclipse Shotel

The secondary weapon players can use for this build is the Eclipse Shotel. Its primary passive allows the “Death Ailment” status to be placed upon enemies, and then it continues with a fire flare that will bring them down until they die. With the skill “Death Flare,” the weapon can finish the opponent with an explosion that will make them disappear. 

Incantations

Moving forward, the Deathblight Build focuses primarily on some broken incantations that will provide a consistent damage output and will support the player by helping them achieve victory by obliterating their opponents. 

Fire’s Deadly Sin

The main aim of Fire’s Deadly Sin is to be cast and then set the caster and the area around in flames. Over time, this will deplete the caster’s HP, but it is highly potent, as it also lights the opponents on fire, allowing players to slash through them and kill them off consistently. 

The incantation can be charged by holding it for a few seconds before casting it, increasing the overall potency of the flames and the damage output. It requires about 19 Faith Points and uses up the player’s one Memory Slot.

Golden Vow

Yet another excellent incantation is the Golden’s Vow, which is overpowered for the Deathblight Build. Upon casting Golden Vow, players will see an overall buff being applied to their attack power.

There is a total of 15% attack increase and a 10% personal protection increase against all kinds of damage, including Physical, Slash, Pierce, or elemental. Golden Vow requires around 25 Faith Points, and it uses up one Memory Slot.

Blessing of the Erdtree

Lastly, another incantation that players should have in their arsenal is the Blessing of the Erdtree, which is essentially a healing incantation that will bless the caster and their allies while facing difficult enemies or PvP battles. It will restore a massive chunk of HP slowly when instant cast, which is crucial since you will be setting yourself on fire for the buffs. 

It can heal around 12 HP every second, and the incantation will last 90 seconds before dissipating. It requires at least 38 Faith Points to cast, uses one Memory Slot, and takes up 50 stamina. 

Talismans

Here are the best talismans that favor Elden Ring Deathblight Build players significantly in the game. 

Old Lord’s Talisman

First, the Old Lord’s Talisman is insanely essential for PvP; It dramatically increases the duration by 30%, which significantly helps players achieve victory when facing more formidable enemies. On the subject of spells, check out our Elden Ring Spells Tier List.

Taker’s Cameo

The Taker’s Cameo is a pretty self-explanatory talisman, as it allows players to regain a certain amount of HP after slashing and thrashing their way through enemies and obliterating them. Per defeat, you will gain a 7% HP regain.

Blessed Dew Talisman

Blessed Dew Talisman aids the player when facing difficult opponents in PvP or PvE as it helps you regain your fallen HP slowly, and the Health Bar will start to fill up again. It is essential to pair with Fire’s Deadly Sin, which significantly depletes players’ HP. Per second, it aims to heal around 2-3 HP, which can fill up the bar slowly but surely. The talisman will not add too much to the Equip Load Limit. 

Sacred Scorpion Charm

Sacred Scorpion Charm will obliterate opponents when in the arena. It buffs your Holy Damage enormously; this directly benefits the Erdtree Greatshield, as it is based on the Holy Damage output. The small side effect of the charm is that it will slowly deplete the damage negation, which the high Holy Damage output can overcome. 

Erdtree’s Favor

Erdtree’s Favor increases players’ overall maximum HP. This can significantly benefit players using this build as they can use the enhanced HP bar and cast the incantations to increase their overall damage output.

• Players can upgrade Erdtree’s Favor to +0, +1, and +2.
• The standard +0 will enhance HP by 3%, increase stamina by 6.75%, and increase Equip Load by 5%.
• Upgrading to +1 will buff HP by 3.5%, stamina is increased by 8.25%, and Equip Load is enhanced by 6.5%.
• Upgrading to +2 enhances HP by 4%, stamina by 9.5%, and Equip Load will be increased by 8%. 

Crystal Tears

Crystals Tears are often looked over for the Elden Ring Deathblight Build, but they can highly support players when mixed into the Flask of Wonderous Physicks to improve their overall effects. 

Holy Shrouding Cracked Tear

The Holy Shrouding Cracked Tear aims to aid adventurers on the battlefield, and it will temporarily buff the Holy attacks launched by players.

You can quickly come across Crystal Tears upon “Sites of Grace,” When they are mixed into the Flask of Wondrous Physick, players will get enhanced Holy Damage output. 

Armor Sets

Although there is not an immediate necessity for any armor set for the Deathblight Build, there is still a set that you might want to consider for personal protection. 

Royal Remains Set 

The Royal Remains Set is an all-rounder armor set that can offer excellent protection from all kinds of damage from opponents, and it is a great set to have in your arsenal. It consists of Chest Armor, Helms, Gauntlets, and Greaves, which can work perfectly to guard the player.
