In this part of the video, the focus is on the “lightning god” build in Elden Ring, which prioritizes strength and faith to deliver massive damage. The build utilizes two main weapons, the Death Knight’s Long Half Axe and the Death Knight’s Twin Axes, each having a unique Ash of War called Blink Bolt. The Great Axe version allows for a high-speed charge and a leaping slash with a lightning strike, while the Twin Axes version offers an AOE-focused spinning slash. Both weapons scale well with strength and faith, supported by the Gravelstone Seal to boost Dragon Cult incantations. The recommended armor for this build is the Death Knight’s Armor Set, which further enhances Dragon Cult incantation damage by approximately 10%.

In this segment, the speaker discusses their preferred fashion and equipment choices for a gaming build. They highlight using the Consort’s Mask and Ruler Mask for added attributes, complemented by the visually appealing Tree Sentinel’s Armor for increased poise. Their gloves and pants are from the Oath Seekers Night Set. The talismans used include the Faithful Canvas Talisman for boosting incantation potency, the Dragoncrest Greatshield for physical damage reduction, and the Lightning Scorpion Charm for enhanced lightning attacks.
They explain the optional replacement with the Shard of Alexander for boosting Ashes of War and the Two-Headed Turtle Talisman as an alternative to the Two-Finger Heirloom for sustained combat.
The speaker emphasizes using Ash War abilities and switching between weapons, such as dual-wielded axes for area-of-effect damage and two-handed axes for single targets. They regard the Knight’s Lightning Spear as a powerful incantation for setting up fights, due to its high damage and tracking, and the basic Lightning Spear for efficiently dealing with smaller mobs. Finally, they mention the multi-layered Ring of Light for strategic use in narrow areas.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses an advanced build strategy focusing on a combination of strength and faith. Key elements include spells like the “ring of light,” which causes ongoing damage within its radius, and the Land Sax’s glaive, maintaining the lightning theme. Buffing spells enhance the character’s power with dragon bolt blessing, flame grant me strength, and golden vow being highlighted. For the flask of wondrous physique, the speaker suggests using the strength-knot crystal tier to boost strength and the lightning-shrouded crack tier for increased lightning damage.
They also propose potential alternatives for further enhancement, such as the faith-knot crystal tier and the stone barb crack tier for breaking enemy stances. The recommended stats for a level 167 character are: 60 health, 20 mind, 30 endurance, 50 strength, 21 dexterity, 9 intellect, 48 faith, and 14 arcane. For a level 100 character, the adjusted stats should be: 40 health, 17 mind, 24 endurance, 27 strength, 13 dexterity, 9 intellect, 35 faith, and 14 arcane. The build emphasizes high vigor for survivability, mind for casting spells, endurance for heavy armor scenarios, and a balanced increase in strength and faith for damage output. Dexterity is not prioritized as much unless wielding dual axes or specific late-game requirements.
