Best Elden Ring Strength Weapon Build

A colossal jump-attack setup built around poise breaks, high stamina, and simple boss punish windows.

Target Stats (Level ~150)

Core Gear

• Weapon: Greatsword, Giant-Crusher, or Royal Greatsword
• Ash of War: Cragblade or Royal Knight’s Resolve — more options in the Ashes of War guide
• Talismans: Axe Talisman, Claw Talisman, Erdtree’s Favor, Green Turtle — see the early talismans guide
• Physick: Stonebarb Cracked Tear + Strength-knot Tear

How to Play

1. Open with charged or jump heavies to break stance quickly.
2. Two-hand your colossal weapon once you can mid-roll comfortably.
3. Use heavy armor for hyper armor trades only when the punish is guaranteed.
4. Keep a dagger or thrusting secondary for tight corridors.

Boss Pairings

Excellent for large targets like Starscourge Radahn. Against fast duelists such as Malenia, wait for full punish windows instead of trading every flurry.
