The beauty of the Quality Build in Elden Ring is that various weapons can greatly benefit the player and help them defeat opponents more easily.
Ghiza’s Wheel
First up, I have picked the Ghiza’s Wheel an excellent option for players who want to decimate enemies while in combat and take control over them on the battlefield. It is a superb melee damage dealer with great physical damage, and players can charge forward with their normal and heavy attacks to obliterate enemies.
The weapon itself scales off Dexterity D and Strength D and requires about 18 Dexterity Points and 28 Strength Points to be wielded.
Attack Type | Attack |
Physical Attack | 156 |
Magic Attack | 0 |
Fire Attack | 0 |
Light Attack | 0 |
Holy Attack | 0 |
Crit Attack | 100 |
Axe Of Godfrey
Keeping things going with the weapon choices, the next option in line is the Axe of Godfrey, which is considered a Colossal weapon that will decimate any opponent that dares venture into the same area as the adventurer wielding the weapon. The weapon is excellent for melee attacks, with a high physical damage output.
The weapon scales off Dexterity D and Strength D and requires 14 Dexterity Points and 42 Strength Points.
Attack Type | Attack |
Physical Attack | 165 |
Magic Attack | 0 |
Fire Attack | 0 |
Light Attack | 0 |
Holy Attack | 0 |
Crit Attack | 100 |
Bloodhound’s Fang
Keeping the options open, players can also choose from some greatsword options. One of them is the Bloodhound’s Fang, which in my opinion is an excellent weapon that will deal with melee damage that will render enemies useless and deplete their HP within a few potent hits launched from the weapon.
The weapon itself scales off of Strength D and Dexterity D and needs 17 Dexterity Points and 18 Strength Points to wield it.
Attack Type | Attack |
Physical Attack | 141 |
Magic Attack | 0 |
Fire Attack | 0 |
Light Attack | 0 |
Holy Attack | 0 |
Crit Attack | 100 |
Zamor Curved Sword
Another viable option is the Zamor Curved Sword, which is yet another curved greatsword that can be used to deal deadly hits to opponents that will kill them off nearly instantly. With just a few simple attacks, players can take advantage of the enemies and take them down. While you’re at it, consider reading our Best Swords guide.
The weapon scales primarily on Dexterity D and Strength D and needs 18 Dexterity Points and 16 Strength Points from adventurers.
Attack Type | Attack |
Physical Attack | 125 |
Magic Attack | 0 |
Fire Attack | 0 |
Light Attack | 0 |
Holy Attack | 0 |
Crit Attack | 100 |
Quality Claymore
The Quality Claymore is a highly viable option for players who would typically be running low on other stronger weapons but still want to decimate enemies. While the claymore has been upgraded with Quality, keep in mind that it is an option as a last resort.
The weapon scales off Dexterity B and Strength B and needs players to place in 13 Dexterity Points and 16 Strength Points.
Attack Type | Attack |
Physical Attack | 272 |
Magic Attack | 0 |
Fire Attack | 0 |
Light Attack | 0 |
Holy Attack | 0 |
Crit Attack | 100 |
Twinned Knight Swords
Keeping it going with the Twinned Knight Swords is yet another excellent option for people who want a little bit of variety. The weapon itself can be pierced through enemies with insane accuracy, along with the pointed end stabbing into their guts and rendering them useless.
Players can dual-wield the Twinblade or combine it with a spinning attack. The weapon skill, “Spinning Slash,” allows players to rotate their bodies on an axis while launching deadly attacks on enemies that will kill them off. The weapon scales off Dexterity E and Strength D and needs 18 Dexterity and 16 Strength Points.
Attack Type | Attack |
Physical Attack | 122 |
Magic Attack | 0 |
Fire Attack | 0 |
Light Attack | 0 |
Holy Attack | 0 |
Crit Attack | 100 |
Nightrider Glaive
Ending it all with the Nightrider Glaive, it is a weapon that scales off of strength and Dexterity once again, and it is excellent for both melee and fast-paced combat, allowing players to hit with ease towards opponents.
Attack Type | Attack |
Physical Attack | 129 |
Magic Attack | 0 |
Fire Attack | 0 |
Light Attack | 0 |
Holy Attack | 0 |
Crit Attack | 100 |

Zamor Legwraps | 6.5 | 5.0 | 6.8 | 5.8 | 4.5 | 4.5 | 3.0 | 4.0 |
Keeping the Quality Build in Elden Ring going, players can choose between several armor sets yet again, but I have picked out the two best options for this build.
Blaidd Armor Set
Starting things off, I have the Blaidd’s Armor Set, which can give the players the protection they need while still allowing them to go all out on the battlefield. Typically, the armor set will have its own helmet, Gauntlets, Greaves, and Chest Armor.
Negation Type | Damage Negation |
Physical Negation | 31.8 |
Strike Negation | 28.0 |
Slash Negation | 31.8 |
Pierce Negation | 33.4 |
Magic Negation | 24.7 |
Fire Negation | 27.6 |
Light Negation | 22.7 |
Holy Negation | 25.8 |
Resistance Type | Resistance |
Immunity Resistance | 91 |
Robustness Resistance | 169 |
Focus Resistance | 60 |
Vitality Resistance | 60 |
Poise Resistance | 51 |
Zamor Armor Set
If players do not wish to wear the Blaidd Armor Set, they can take advantage of the Zamor Armor Set, which can help them greatly when using the Quality Build, as it can get the job done too.
Negation Type | Damage Negation |
Physical Negation | 25.4 |
Strike Negation | 20.0 |
Slash Negation | 26.5 |
Pierce Negation | 23.0 |
Magic Negation | 18.3 |
Fire Negation | 18.3 |
Light Negation | 14.0 |
Holy Negation | 16.5 |
Resistance Type | Resistance |
Immunity Resistance | 47 |
Robustness Resistance | 147 |
Focus Resistance | 16 |
Vitality Resistance | 37 |
Poise Resistance | 28 |
Talismans
Moving right along with the Quality Build, players might want to take help from certain talismans that can buff them up while they are in a tough battle against enemies, and here are some of the universal ones available.
Below are the Talismans I would recommend for Quality Build:
Erdtree’s Favor
Starting with the Erdtree’s Favor, it is perhaps going to be a player’s best friend while they are in combat with opponents, as the main aim of the talisman is to buff up the player’s overall HP, which is crucial to maintain while in the heat of the battle. It will also enhance the player’s overall stamina, which is needed to sprint around the arena and attack enemies.
The Equip Load Limit will also be enhanced, allowing for easier wear of weight-heavy weapons, incantations, or armor that would otherwise reduce the playability. I highly recommend that players upgrade the talisman to +2, as it will enhance HP by 4%, Equip Load Limit will be buffed by 8%, and Stamina limit by 9.6%.
Radagon’s Soreseal
This talisman is also a personal favorite for mid-game to end-game Elden players. It promises easier victory for players who want to get the fight done and over with quickly and effectively. The Radagon’s Soreseal is to enhance certain attribute points, which will further help in combat. Also, read our Elden Ring Radagon Icon Location guide.
The main attributes that will be buffed are dexterity, strength, vigor, and endurance, which are all essential for the Quality Build. The minor side effect of equipping the talisman is that players might intake enhanced damage incoming from the opponent’s end.
Green Turtle Talisman
The Green Turtle Talisman allows players impeccable stamina support, as stamina maintenance is important for a successful combat victory; in the end, players need to always take note of how and where their stamina is being spent. The talisman comes into play, as its main aim is to recover the player’s overall stamina a lot faster.
The total stamina recovery is around eight stamina points every second.
Dragoncrest Greatshield Talisman
Since the main aspect of this build is to focus on melee damage, players also need to be cautious of incoming physical and melee damage from opponents and need to take guard from it. This is when the Dragoncrest Greatshield Talisman comes into play, as it will greatly enhance the player’s physical damage negation.
The enhancement allows for increased personal protection, allowing players to go all in and decimate any opponents that come near them.
Crimson Amber Medallion
Last but not least, players can take assistance from the Crimson Amber Medallion as it mainly supports the player by enhancing the max Health Points, which can help the players stay alive for longer while they are in combat and instead launch such deadly attacks that will render the enemies useless.
Ashes of War To Equip
Wrapping up the Quality Build in Elden Ring, I will now discuss some of the best ashes of War that can help adventurers with personal buffs.
Lightning Slash
Already having mentioned the skill before, the Lightning Slash will grant the player the skill, which allows the player to summon a lightning bolt from the heavens down onto the opponent’s existence and give them such a shock that will instantly deplete their HP and kill them off.
Seppuku
The next ash of war, Seppuku, greatly buffs up the player’s overall attack player, on the condition that they drive their wielded weapon into their stomach to incur blood loss upon themselves in exchange for a boost to the attack power. This allows players to take out opponents at a faster rate.
Phantom Slash
Lastly, the Phantom Slash ash of war allows players to call upon a former knight who will tell the player to swing up their weapon and continuously attack any incoming enemy.
My Thoughts On The Quality Build
After playing Elden Ring for more than 200 hours, the quality builds are one of the many builds I’ve tried out, and it is personally one of my favorite builds as it doesn’t confine you to a single type of weapon.
Out of all the weapons I’ve listed, my personal favorite was the Bloodhound Fang due to it being very easy to obtain while also being one of Elden Ring’s best weapons. I also switched between the Ghiza Wheel and the Quality Claymore, just for the Bloodborne and Dark Souls nostalgia.
And for a build prioritizing both strength and dexterity, equipping the Radagon Soreseal is indeed paramount for this build, alongside the Erdtree’s Favour, for some extra health.
Using ashes of war like Seppuku will make the player feel potent with the attack output while staying under the guard of armor sets like the Blaidd Armor Set. That finishes off my Quality Build; let me know what you think. If you liked this build, you can look into our other Elden Ring Best Builds!
