If you choose the Warrior class at the beginning of Elden Ring and want to construct a solid character around it, you’re in luck because we’ll be looking at some of the greatest Warrior builds in today’s Elden Ring guide. For the Warrior class, we’ve covered both a good early-game build and a superior late-game build.
What are these builds exactly?
If you choose a more aggressive playstyle, the Warrior Build in Elden Ring is more adaptable and beneficial. However, this construct is a little more difficult to use and will need more practice than the other classes.
Warrior Build for the Early Game in Elden Ring
- Class: Wretch
- Flask Spread: HP
- Weapon: Morning Star, Claymore, Warpick
- Shield: Great Turtle Shell
- Armor: Iron Helmet, Scaled Armor, Iron Gauntlet, Leather Trousers
- Stats: Strength and, Dexterity (Primary), Vigor and Endurance (Secondary)
- Talismans: Dragoncrest Shield Talisman, Crimson Amber Medallion
- Skill: Lion’s Claw, Lone Wolf Ashes
Warrior Build for the End game in Elden Ring
- Flask Usage: HP
- Weapon: Beastmen’s Curved Sword
- Shield: Dragonclaw Shield
- Armor: Radahn’s Armor
- Stats: Strength, Endurance (Primary), and Dexterity (Secondary)
- Talisman: Green Turtle Tailsman, Great-Jar’s Arsenal, Claw Talisman
- Flask of Wondrous Physick: Crimson-Burst Crystal Tear, Strength-Knot Crystal Tear
- Skills: Shield Bash
What are the best stats for Warrior Builds?
Strength and Dexterity are your best options for Stats if you’re in the early stages of Elden Ring and have an Early-Game Warrior setup.
The stat distribution that should be used with the Early-Game Warrior Build is as follows:
- Flask Usage: HP
- Weapon: Beastmen’s Curved Sword
- Shield: Dragonclaw Shield
- Armor: Radahn’s Armor
- Stats: Strength, Endurance (Primary), and Dexterity (Secondary)
- Talisman: Green Turtle Tailsman, Great-Jar’s Arsenal, Claw Talisman
- Flask of Wondrous Physick: Crimson-Burst Crystal Tear, Strength-Knot Crystal Tear
- Skills: Shield Bash
However, as you go through the game, you will encounter more difficult bosses.
When this occurs, or when you reach the endgame of Elden Ring, swap to Strength and Endurance, since your Warrior build will mostly grow with those later in the game.
The stat distribution that should be used with the End Game Warrior Build is as follows.
- Vigor: 60
- Mind: 12
- Endurance: 50
- Strength: 15
- Dexterity: 80
- Intelligence: 12
- Faith: 25
- Arcane: 34
If you want to get the most out of your Warrior build, your major emphasis should be Dexterity and Vigor, with a secondary focus on Endurance and Arcane.
Best Weapons for Warrior Builds in Elden Ring
You should start with The Morning Star, which has a bloodloss accumulation of 50. Warpick is a supplementary hammer that may be used with this setup. Morning Star, on the other hand, has a lesser range.
Switch to the Beastmen’s Curved Sword later on; it enables you to make a double slash if you leap attack. Jump and strike when you are closest to the ground, and both of these slashes will nearly certainly hit the adversary. Using the Claw Talisman will increase the damage even further.
Best Armor for Warrior Builds in Elden Ring
We recommend combining various armor sets for the Early-Game Warrior Build. Iron Helmet, Scaled Armor, Iron Gauntlets, and Leather Trousers are all available. These armor parts will make your Warrior strong enough to cope with early game monsters without difficulty.
The Radahn’s Armor set is by far the best choice for the End-game Warrior build in Elden Ring with appropriate Dexterity, since its damage negation and protections are among the greatest of any armor set in the game. With this setup, you may also utilize the Dragonclaw Shield.
Best Talisman for Warrior Builds
Crimsom Amber Medallion Talisman is your best bet early on since it increases your maximum HP. Because you will be up close most of the time in fight, your HP is quite near to you, increasing your odds of survival.
Green Turtle Talisman is the ideal talisman for the Warrior build in Elden Ring Endgame since this build is incredibly stamina demanding and you need to recharge your stamina with this. With a dual wield build like this, you’ll quickly deplete your stamina after three or four hits.
Best Skills for Warrior Builds
The Lion’s Claw gives affinities and talents, making it ideal for the Warrior build early on.
In the latter stages, Shield Bash should be your primary skill on the End-Game warrior build. It comes in useful and is often used to stagger opponents.
