An Elden Ring statistician recently shared their insights on the ideal build path for players looking to fully experience everything the upcoming Shadow of the Erdtree DLC has to offer. The key to achieving this build lies in striking a delicate balance between meeting the minimum stat requirements for all weapons and spells while still maintaining survivability in-game.
The recommended build outlined by the statistician involves reaching a minimum of level 212 to effectively utilize all the content in the base game and upcoming DLC. This build prioritizes stats such as Strength, Dexterity, Intelligence, and Faith, while neglecting essential attributes like Vigor, Mind, and Endurance. While this build may allow players to wield any weapon or spell, it comes at the cost of vulnerability to enemy attacks.
In order to optimize the build for the DLC content, players are advised to level up to at least 300 before utilizing a respec option to redistribute points based on individual needs. This process involves strategically reallocating points to enhance survivability and effectively utilize the new gameplay elements introduced in the DLC. It is recommended to reach NG+7 and engage in efficient rune farming to maximize stat gains.
While the suggested build path allows players to become a Jack Of All Trades in the DLC, it may not maximize the potential of new abilities or weapons. Players are cautioned against using stat-boosting items that come with detrimental effects, such as the Scarseals or Soreseals. Instead, opting for items like the Green Turtle Talisman for its stamina boost is advisable for enhancing overall performance in various builds.
This comprehensive guide provides players with a roadmap to create a versatile character capable of harnessing the full potential of the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC. By carefully balancing stats, leveling strategically, and making informed decisions on respecing, players can embark on a thrilling adventure in the world of Elden Ring with confidence and preparedness.
