Common Challenges
Many strength-based weapons in Elden Ring DLC lack adequate reach and crowd-control capabilities. This limits their effectiveness against packs of enemies or bosses with sweeping attacks.
Innovative Solutions
Consider Elden Ring weapons that offer extended range and crowd-control effects, such as the Giant-Crusher, which has a devastating ground slam attack, or the Blasphemous Blade, which unleashes a sweeping fire wave upon a charged heavy attack. Utilizing these weapons can mitigate the reach and crowd-control limitations of traditional strength weapons.
Practical Insight
In addition to weapon selection, consider equipping talismans and incantations that enhance strength or provide crowd-control benefits. The Bull-Goat’s Talisman boosts strength and poise, while the Roar Medallion increases overall damage. Additionally, incantations like “Golden Vow” and “Flame, Grant Me Strength” provide temporary strength enhancements, further improving your damage output and effectiveness in combat.
