FromSoftware’s Elden Ring continues to evolve even years after its release, thanks to balance patches, PvP adjustments, and a vibrant community that constantly tests new strategies. Whether you're a newcomer or a seasoned Tarnished returning for another journey through the Lands Between, knowing the best builds and weapons in Elden Ring can dramatically improve your gameplay experience.

This updated guide breaks down the top-performing builds and their ideal weapon pairings for both PvE and PvP as of 2025.
Strength Builds: Raw Power Meets Endurance

Colossal Weapon builds are still dominating the meta for strength-focused players. Thanks to buffs in recent patches, weapons like the Greatsword (inspired by Berserk’s Dragonslayer) and Ruins Greatsword now swing faster and hit harder, especially when power-stanced.

Recommended Stats:

Strength: 60+

Endurance: 30+

Vigor: 40+

Top Weapons:

Greatsword (Colossal, high stagger, excellent scaling)

Dragon Slayer’s Cragblade (Good for breaking guards and poise)

Ruins Greatsword (Legendary weapon, great for heavy builds)

Playstyle Tip: Use jump attacks with dual colossal swords for maximum posture damage, and pair with Lion’s Claw Ash of War for mobility.
Dexterity Builds: Speed and Precision

Dexterity remains a go-to choice for players who enjoy fast, reactive combat. Builds focusing on bleed or crit-based weapons perform extremely well in both PvE and PvP.

Recommended Stats:

Dexterity: 50+

Vigor: 35+

Endurance: 25+

Top Weapons:

Uchigatana / Nagakiba (Fast slashes, good bleed buildup)

Godskin Peeler (Twinblade with innate bleed, perfect for aggressive players)

Bolt of Gransax (Excellent for PvP with ranged Lightning Spear attacks)

Playstyle Tip: Consider infusing weapons with Keen or Blood affinities based on your build, and use Seppuku Ash of War to maximize bleed potential.
Intelligence Builds: Sorcery-Based Destruction

Magic users have never had it better. Intelligence builds continue to shine in late-game content, with access to devastating sorceries and strong ranged control.
