Character Attributes

Elden Ring Strength Build Character Attributes
Character Attributes                                                   

I have listed the character attributes for a strength build in the game at SL130. You can clearly see which attributes you should put your most runes and level up and which ones to ignore for the perfect strength build.

While leveling up, you’d need thousands of runes to reach SL100 or above, so read our Elden Ring rune farming guide and get ahead of the curve very early in the game. Attributes are instant investments that adventurers need to make if they want to get the most out of their builds. The three main critical attributes for this build will be Strength, Vigor, and Endurance, and all of them will be the primary ingredients to take down enemies.

Weapons

Following through with the strength Build, I can recommend a few weapons if you want to take full advantage of this broken build and kill enemies when you spot them. Here is an excellent Elden Ring Greatsword build that you can experiment with.

Starscourge Greatsword

Elden Ring Strength Build Starscourge Greatsword
Starscourge Greatsword

The first weapon that I highly recommend that players look into is the Starscourge Greatsword, the perfect heavy weaponry that the strength build requires. Its main aim is to aid players when facing more formidable enemies or lighter enemies; it is an excellent weapon to deal massive amounts of damage. 

With the physical attack being 129, it is the optimal weapon for adventurers who want to come face-to-face with opponents and kill them instantly. The weapon itself scales off of Intelligence, Dexterity, and Strength, all of which combine to produce potent damage outputs. The elemental damage output is also pretty decent. 

With the skill of “Starcaller sky,” upon casting the talent, it immediately causes an enhanced gravitational pull that will instantly lure enemies in and allow players to follow up with consecutive attacks. With the weapon scaling off of Intelligence E, Dexterity D, and Strength D, players should use it.

Grafted Blade Greatsword 

Elden Ring Strength Build Grafted Blade Greatsword
Grafted Blade Greatsword

Next up on the list is the Grafted Blade Greatsword, which is mainly focused on boosting players’ confidence when attempting to obliterate any type of enemy. The main aim of the greatsword itself is to allow adventurers to go close to their enemies and hit them with extremely heavy normal and charged attacks rendering them useless. 

The weapon itself scales off Dexterity and strength and is the perfect combination of brutal yet elegant. With the physical attack being 157, it is an excellent weapon for players to have in their arsenal if they want to squeeze out more significant physical damage and kill opponents consistently. 

With the weapon skill, “Oath of Vengeance,” when it is cast, players can experience enhanced attributes for the time being that the skill is active. The scaling is Dexterity E and Strength C, allowing brutal and deadly hits launched at all types of beasts and bosses in Elden Ring.

Ordovis’ Greatsword 

Elden Ring Strength Build Ordovis' Greatsword
Ordovis’ Greatsword

Moving right along with the Strength Build, the Ordovis’ Greatsword is another excellent weapon that players can use and smash when in close combat with enemies. Its significant physical damage can take out the strongest of bosses without letting the player take any harm themselves. While your’e at it, you should read our Elden Ring Bosses Tier List and learn about the game’s challenging and easiest boss.

With the weapon in the player’s arsenal, they can move swiftly along the battlefield and launch normal and charged attacks that might be slow, but they are always deadly when landing on any enemy. The weapon scales off of Faith, Strength, and Dexterity. 

With the weapon skill “Ordovis’ Vortex,” players can easily cause their blade to spin while launched into the air and then slam down with a plunging attack that will obliterate foes. The weapon scaling off of Faith D, Dexterity E, and Strength C requires players to invest 15 Faith Points, 13 Dexterity Points, and 25 Strength Points to wield the weapon.

Axe of Godrick 

Elden Ring Strength Build Axe of Godrick
Axe of Godrick

Lastly, the Axe of Godrick is yet another excellent heavy weapon that players can wield if they want to get the most out of the Strength Build. Considering it is a greataxe, it scales off of Dexterity and Strength, and it aims to support the player by allowing them to consecutively launch attacks that can kill off enemies but are on the lower end. 

With the tremendous physical damage, players can emerge victorious whenever they come face to face with bosses. With the weapon skill, “I Command Thee, Kneel!” players can smack the great axe into the ground, which will instantly cause two significant earthquakes to occur. Players need to invest 22 Dexterity Points and 34 Strength Points to wield the weapon. This can also be used as an STR/DEX hybrid build weapon. You can check our Elden Ring Dex build and see which weapons can be used in the STR build as well.

Armor Sets 

To defeat every type of enemy in Elden Ring, players need to be able to take increased damage by depleting their HP, and for that, I have gathered a few strong armor sets that can fully protect you when you are fighting opponents.

Blaidd Armor Set

Start things off with the Blaidd Armor, this looks incredibly cool, but it is hands-down one of the best armor sets that players can take advantage of to enhance their Strength Build. It is comprised of Helms, Gauntlets, Greaves, and Chest Armor. 

Black Wolf Mask 

Elden Ring Strength Build Black Wolf Mask
Black Wolf Mask

First off, the Black Wolf Mask is an excellent piece to the armor set that players should have in their arsenal if their main aim is to go straight over to the enemy, look it in its face and kill it. The mask itself is adorned on the adventurer’s head, and it can allow for consistent damage tanking from all sorts of headshots. 

The wolf mask can provide consistent physical damage negation and elemental protection. However, the main focus here is Robustness and Immunity Resistance, which can significantly aid players when they are in combat. You can see below the negation and resistance stats. 

  Damage Negation
Physical Damage 5.2
Strike Damage 4.6
Slash Damage 5.2
Pierce Damage 5.5
Magic Damage 4.0
Fire Damage 4.5
Light Damage 3.6
Holy Damage 4.2
  Resistance 
Immunity Resistance 16
Robustness Resistance 33
Focus Resistance 11
Vitality Resistance 11
Poise Resistance 6

Blaidd’s Chest Armor 

Elden Ring Strength Build Blaidd's Armor
Blaidd’s Armor

Moving onto the chest piece, we have Blaidd’s Chest Armor, which is perfect for adventurers who are more on the experienced side and are used to fighting the most challenging bosses and opponents. With this chest piece adorned on your torso, you will be able to tank any type of attack launched at the stomach. 

With a consistent amount of Physical, Strike, Slash, and Pierce damage negation and a proper amount of robustness and Immunity Resistance, it is a must-have for players who want to get rid of enemies faster without depleting their HP. Look below for stats and numbers. 

  Damage Negation
Physical Damage 14.6

Blaidd’s Gauntlets 

Elden Ring Strength Build Blaidd's Gauntlets
Blaidd’s Gauntlets

I have the Blaidd’s Gauntlets, which are worn around the player’s hands and arms and can easily allow players to be confident, go into the arena, and obliterate enemies while coming out without a scratch on their bodies. The gauntlets are more on the heavier side and might contribute a bit to the Equip Load limit. 

The main aim of the gauntlets themselves is to focus on Strike and Physical damage negation, but elemental negation is not ignored. While robustness resistance is also the main aim, others are still taken care of. The weight is around 4.6, and the stats and numbers are listed below. 

  Damage Negation
Physical Damage 3.6

Blaidd’s Greaves

Blaidd’s Greaves

Ending the Blaidd Armor Set with the Blaidd’s Greaves, the player can wear it on their feet and legs to tank the heaviest damage launched at them by opponents while also being able to consistently hit with their greatswords. Elemental and physical protection is the main priority, while resistance is also considered. 

  Damage Negation

Banished Knight Set 

The upcoming set in the Strength Build contains the Banished Knight Set, which is considered a heavy-weight armor set comprising Chest Armor, gauntlets, greaves, and Helmet. It is mainly aimed at players who want to obliterate any opponents that dare venture close to the player. 

Banished Knight Helm 

Elden Banished Knight Helm
Banished Knight Helm

Starting the set off with the Banished Knight Helm is an excellent piece of equipment that can protect the players from any major headshots launched in their direction and make players survive all types of physical and elemental damage. While being worn on the head, players can ultimately feel safe. 

The helmet itself will focus on enhancing the player’s physical, pierce, slash, and strike damage negation while never ignoring elemental negation. Robustness and immunity Resistance is also the main aim, and the helmet can slightly add to the player’s Equip Load Limit due to the 7.5 weight. 

  Damage Negation
Physical Damage 6.8
Strike Damage 5.4
Slash Damage 7.0

Banished Knight Armor

Elden Banished Knight Armor
Banished Knight Armor

Moving things along, I have the Banished Knight Armor that can be adorned around the torso, support the players from the start to the end of the battle, and make players come victorious out of the arena. Whether in PvP or PvE, the chest armor aims to protect and aid the player.

The chest armor itself is pretty on the heavier side, but it means that adventurers will be able to tank heavier and lighter hits without taking any damage. A considerable amount of damage negation is expected from the Banished Knight Armor, and focus and vitality resistance is focused on. See below for stats and numbers. 

  Damage Negation
Physical Damage 17.5

Banished Knight Gauntlets

The next piece of armor is the Banished Knight Gauntlets, which can be adorned on the adventurer’s arms and hands, and while they are on, players can confidently stride into the battlefield and take down the worst of enemies that venture their way across their path and the weight is 5.8. 

During any sort of elemental damage taken by the player, it is immediately negated due to the stats of the Banished Knights Gauntlets, and players will experience increased Robustness, Immunity, and Vitality Resistance. You can check out the damage negation and resistance stats down below. 

  Damage Negation

Banished Knight Greaves

Ending this armor set off with the Banished Knight Greaves can significantly enhance the number of damage players can tank and directly increase theStrength Build effects. 

While the greaves can add a bit to the Equip Load Limit of the adventurer, it should not be that big of a deal. Check out the stats here.

General Radahn Set 

Taking a look at the last armor set for the Strength Build, the General Radahn Set proves to be an excellent candidate. With the way it aims to protect the players from all sources of damage intake, it can be a pretty viable option. You’ll be able to purchase this armor set from Enia after beating the boss, and if you’re having a hard time then read our Elden Ring Radahn Cheese method guide. 

Radahn’s Helm 

Elden General Radahn's Helm
General Radahn’s Helm

Firstly, I have the Radahn’s Helm with us, considered a heavy-weight helmet. The helmet itself is ferocious looking. It also does its primary job splendidly, letting players feel free of taking any sort of damage and instead focus on obliterating enemies that come near the player. 

The helmet itself is pretty bulky. The slight addition to the Equip Load Limit doesn’t limit the player’s movement. It instantly allows for a consistent source of mobility and protection from all physical and elemental damage sources. Let’s take a look at the numbers. 

  Damage Negation

Radahn’s Lion Armor 

Elden General Radahn's Armor
General Radahn’s Lion Armor

Keeping things going with the Radahn’s Lion Armor, the primary purpose of the chest armor is to be worn around the stomach and to purely protect from damage done to the stomach from all directions, whether they are lighter or heavier attacks. Players will experience increased personal protection while under the guard of the chest armor. 

The highest damage negation is focussed on Physical, Strike, Slash, and Pierce, while Robustness and immunity are prioritized as usual. The chest armor is quite bulky and can allow adventurers to consistently tank damage without depleting any HP. Here are the stated damage negation stats. 

  Damage Negation
Physical Damage 18.7

Radahn’s Gauntlets

The Radahn’s Gauntlet is the “sleeves” of this armor set and highly aids the players when they are in the heat of the battle, whether they are in PvP or PvP. These gauntlets are perfect for strength-focused builds and can protect those players who need to come out victorious in the arena. 

Adventurers will see physical and elemental personal protection increase and resistance and personal defense will improve.

The final piece to the puzzle is the Radahn’s Greaves, which look incredibly sick and get the job of protecting the player. Physical, Strike, Slash, and Pierce damage negation is the main priority, while players’ protection is also highly enhanced. Players will never regret investing in the Greaves.

Shields 

Progressing through the Elden Ring Strength Build, I have some excellent options for shields that adventurers can look out for that will protect you and allow you to tank more great hits and fight back with vigor.

Visage Shield 

Kicking things off with the Visage Shield, the shield looks rather ominous. Do not be scared by the outlook of the shield, as it provides one of the best guards in Elden Ring. With its higher physical guard and consecutive element guard, while being a great shield and in the player’s arsenal, players can comfortably march onto the battlefield and kill enemies with stride. 

The visage shield itself scales off of Strength D, and players will need to invest 44 Strength Points to wield it. The shield is quite heavy, but that is expected with strength-based builds. With the skill “Tongues of Fire,” the shield can blast off sprays of fire that will consistently shred the opponent’s HP. 

Jellyfish Shield 

The Jellyfish shield is another impeccable alternative to the visage shield. Being a great shield aids the player when they are in the middle of a tough battle by providing consistent protection. While it can slightly reduce the adventurer’s mobility, it can still be an excellent shield. 

The shield skill, “Contagious Fury,” upon casting, will buff the player’s damage by a total of 20%, allowing the players to charge out consecutive regular and heavy attacks while being protected. The duration of the skill is around 30 seconds. The shield scales off strength D and Dexterity, and players need 14 Dexterity and 20 Strength Points to wield the shield. 

Erdtree Greatshield 

The last shield that I will look into is the Erdtree Greatshield, which can instantly boost the overall protection of adventurers by letting players tank hits and strike back with elegant yet powerful blows. The shield itself scales off Faith D and Strength C, and players need to have 12 Faith Points and 30 Strength Points in their arsenal to use the shield. 

While under the effect of the shield’s skill, “Golden Retaliation,” players can repel any incantations that are launched towards them and instead direct them back to the source of the magic. Also, read our incantation versus sorcery guide and learn which ones to equip in PvP and PvE. 

Talismans

Talismans are crucial when focussing on Strength Builds, as they offer countless offensive and defensive benefits and can be great while in combat with enemies. You can check out some impeccable Elden Ring Talismans that might help you out. 

Radagon’s Soreseal 

Elden Radagon's Soreseal
Radagon’s Soreseal Talisman

Kicking things off with the Radagon’s Soreseal, the main aim of this talisman is to be equipped by a player and enhance the overall effects of attributes that players have invested in, focussing specifically on Dexterity, Endurance, Vigor, and Strength. This can allow players to make more muscular builds and dominate the battlefield. 

A small side effect is that it will increase incoming damage by opponents; therefore, use caution. 

Arsenal Charm 

Elden Arsenal Charm
Arsenal Charm Talisman

The next talisman, Arsenal Charm, is a favorite among players who focus on Strength builds, as it enhances the overall Equip Load Limit of players, which can highly benefit players who are using this build as it allows them to equip heavier greatswords and pack on heavy armor to protect themselves without needing to worry about the limit. 

Starscourge Heirloom 

Elden Starscourge Heirloom
Starscourge Heirloom Talisman

Another viable talisman for experienced Elden Ring players is the Starcourge Heirloom, which aims to buff the Strength attribute and make it +5, making this build even more potent. It can significantly help when players want to wield melee weapons and obliterate enemies. 

Axe Talisman 

Elden Axe Talisman
Axe Talisman

Another impeccable talisman that adventurers should look into equipping is the Axe Talisman, which can significantly buff adventurers who want to head onto the arena and deal some heavy-charged attacks to enemies. It can allow players to come out victorious without putting in much effort. 

Green Turtle Talisman 

Elden Green Turtle's Talisman
Green Turtle’s Talisman

The Green Turtle Talisman is almost always a viable option to equip, as, during the heat of the battle, players will consistently make their way from one end to the other in the arena, and stamina depletes fast. With the green turtle, stamina recovery is significantly increased, and it will directly impact the player’s performance in combat. 

Ashes of War

Ashes of war are a must-have for players while focusing on Strength Build, as it offers a plethora of buffs. Here are some excellent Elden Ring Ashes of War that are highly overpowered. 

War Cry 

The first ash of war, War Cry, offers players enhancement on their affinity while also providing the ash of war skill. While the craft has been cast, it will significantly enhance and buff the adventurer’s overall attack power, allowing players to run and thrash on the opponents, rendering them useless. The war cry ash itself lasts for 20 seconds. 

Troll’s Roar 

This ash of war is most useful when wielding heavier weapons, as it offers the skill, “Troll’s Roar,” which gives players the ability to scream out a roar that is so loud that it unleashes a shockwave that will cause the opponents around the player to stagger and fall off their footing, allowing players to charge in with regular and heavy attacks, killing them off. 

Cragblade 

Yet another excellent ash of war offers players consistent aid in combat and heavy battles. All heavy weapons wielded by the player will be equipped with the Cragblade skill, which will cause the weapon to be made stronger with gravity pulls. Overall attack power and damage output significantly increase while the ash of war is active, giving a 30% strength buff. 

Endure 

Lastly, Endure is another excellent ash of war, which gives players the ability to make their footing strong while in battle and become more prepared for attacks launched by enemies. When the skill itself is active, it will slightly boost personal resistance and defense. 

Flask of Wondrous Physick Crystal Tears Mix

For the Flask of Wondrous Physick mix, I recommend using Strength-Knot Crystal Tear and Stonebarb Cracked Tear because the former increases the strength by +10 and the latter significantly improves the chances of attacks breaking enemy posture.  

My Thoughts On The Strength Build

After using a strength build during my very first playthrough, the Grafted Blade Greatsword was my go-to weapon in the early game, thanks to just how easy it was to obtain it. But I quickly swapped it with the Starscourge Greatsword as soon as I obtained it.

My Elden Ring playtime on Steam

In terms of armor, I personally ended Elden Ring with Blaidd Armor Set. One of the core elements for this build was the Radagon’s Soreseal and the Starscourge Heirloom, as it raised my stats enough to easily equip all these items without wasting too much time on leveling up. 

While you’re at it, consider watching the top 16 best Strength weapons video guide and pick the ones that suit your playstyle.

This all beautifully wraps up my  Elden Ring Strength Build; you might want to take advantage of this build! With that, let me know what you think, and happy gaming!
