Welcome back to my Elden Ring build guide. In this guide, I’ll show you my Zweihander build and easily stun enemies by infusing my weapon with Ash of War: Cragblade.

Zweihander is a Colossal Sword that mainly relies on Strength and Dexterity scaling. The weapon itself requires 19 Strength and 11 Dexterity to function properly. It weighs 15.5, making it the lightest weapon in Colossal Sword class. We can infuse it with Ash of War: Cragblade and upgraded with Smithing Stones.

What I like about this weapon is its ability to hit enemies from a distance while also dealing a ton of poise damage. Especially when combined with Ash of War: Cragblade, it can cause more poise damage and easily stun enemies.

If you’re looking for a strength build with great poise damage, then this is a guide you can’t miss. This guide will cover everything you need to know about this Zweihander Cragblade Stagger build. Without further ado, let’s get started.

Zweihander

First, you can purchase Zweihander for 3,500 Elden Ring Runes from Isolated Merchants located on the far west side of this Weeping Peninsula. But don’t worry, you can also use the code “CSCCA” to get 5% off.

Ash Of War: Cragblade

I like to infuse this weapon with Ash of War: Cragblade and choose Heavy as the primary Weapon Affinity. After using this skill, you will cover your weapon with rocks, increasing physical damage by 15% and stance damage by 10% for 60 seconds. So it can increase your weapon poise damage and stun enemies easily. You can get this Ash of War by killing Scarab near Caelid Sword Monuments.

Buff & Protection

For buff and protection, Golden Vow and Black Flame’s Protection are your best bet. Golden Vow increases your damage output by 15% and increases all damage negated by 10% for 80 seconds. And Black Flame’s Protection will increase your physical damage negation by 35%.

Seal

For Seal, the most basic Finger Seal is enough. Because different levels of seal have almost the same impact on your damage effects. Finger Seal is the starting equipment for Confessor and Prophet classes. Of course, you also have the option of purchasing it from Roundtable Hold.

Talismans

Also, you can increase your attack power by using some Talismans. Paired with Bull-Goat’s Talisman, it can increase your pose damage by 33%. Next, use Dagger Talisman, which increases your critical damage by 17%.

Combining with Dragoncrest Greatshield can reduce physical damage taken by 20%. Last but not least, with Green Turtle Talisman, you can increase your stamina regeneration rate by 8 per second.

Crystal Tears

You can also use a combination of two Crystal Tears to boost your status temporarily. The first is Opaline Hardtear, which temporarily increases the offset of all damage you take by 15% for 3 minutes. The other is Greenburst Crystal Tear, which increases your physical recovery speed by 15 points per second for 3 minutes.

Armor

For armor, Crucible Axe Set is your best choice. It provides excellent protection for your character and boosts your pose damage.

Stats

At this point, the gear basically meets the basic requirements for a Zweihander Cragblade Stagger build and Black Flame’s Protection. For the stat, I put most of my attributes on Strength to increase my attack power. All specific stats are:

• Vigor 40
• Mind 20
• Endurance 36
• Strength 72
• Dexterity 11
• Intelligence 10
• Faith 20
• Arcane 10

Showcase

The way this build works is that first you consume Crystal Tears, casting Golden Vow and Black Flame’s Protection to enhance your character. Afterwards, you can imbue your weapon with Ash of War: Cragblade and hit enemies to stagger them. Finally defeated each one.

Welcome back to my Elden Ring guide. Here I’ll show you my Morgott’s Cursed Sword build, with a focus on the use of its Cursed-Blood Slice skill.

Morgott’s Cursed Sword is a Curved Greatsword that mainly relies on Strength, Dexterity and Arcane scaling. The weapon itself requires 14 Strength, 35 Dexterity, and 17 Arcane to use properly. It has a weight of 7 and produces blood buildup by default.

The weapon skill for this weapon is called Cursed-Blood Slice. It allows the user to perform a charge, perform a wide Slicing attack, and leave a trail, which then causes a burst of flame explosion. After attacking, it can deal more damage and increase blood loss.

This ability deals with fire damage and physical damage. What I like about this skill is that the burst of flame explosion can also break the enemy’s poise. This allows for easy follow-up attacks, especially against similarly sized enemies, such as Malenia.

If you’re looking for a strong blood build, or a weapons build that can go head to head with Malenia. Then you must not miss this Morgott’s Cursed Sword build guide. This guide will cover everything you need to know about Morgott’s Cursed Sword.

Morgott’s Cursed Sword

First you can get this Morgott’s Cursed Sword by trading Remembrance of The Omen King from Enia in Roundtable Hold.

Buffs & Protection

For buffs and protection, I recommend Golden Vow and Black Flame’s Protection. Golden Vow increases damage to +15% and negates all your damage to +10% for 80 seconds. The other is Black Flame’s Protection, which protects you from 35% of physical damage.

Seal

For Seal, the most basic Finger Seal is completely sufficient. You can find and get it from Twin Maiden Husks. It costs 800 Elden Ring Runes. It’s worth noting that you can also get 5% off with the code “CSCCA”.

Talismans

There are some Talismans that can be used to increase our attack power. With Dragoncrest Greatshield Talisman, you reduce the physical damage you take by 20%. Next, use Shard of Alexander to increase the attack power of Cursed-Blood Slice skill by 15%.

Another is Fire Scorpion Charm, which increases your fire damage by 12% as well as physical damage by 10%. This is useful for increasing attack power when using Cursed-Blood Slice skill. Finally, there’s Lord of Blood’s Exultation, which helps you increase your attack power by 20% for 20 seconds.

Crystal Tears

You can also use a combination of two Crystal Tears to boost the status of your skill effects temporarily. Among them, Opaline Hardtear can temporarily increase all physical damage reduction by 15% for 3 minutes. The other is Flame-Shrouding Cracked Tear, which temporarily boosts your fire damage to +20% for 3 minutes.

Gear

Plus, Armor Sets give your characters maximum protection. For a helmet, White Mask is a brilliant choice. When bleeding occurs nearby, it increases your attack by 10% for 20 seconds.

Stats

The above equipment can meet the basic requirements of Morgott’s Cursed Sword build and Black Flame’s Protection. Also, I put most of the stats in Arcane to increase my blood loss.

For this build, I set Vigor at 40, Mind at 25, Endurance at 30, Strength at 14, and Dexterity at 35. Among them, Intelligence in Black Flame’s Protection requirement has not changed, and we set Arcane to 45 and above to increase the blood buildup.

Showcase

The way this build works is that first you can consume Crystal Tears to boost skill effect stats. Then cast Golden Vow and Black Flame’s Protection to enhance your character. Then you can cast Cursed-Blood Slice skill to attack the enemy.

This concludes my Morgott’s Cursed Sword build guide. As long as you can follow the guide and play correctly, you can easily kill Malenia. Anyway, good luck.
