This does more damage per shot than all other crossbows except the Arbalest and Pulley Crossbow, and the latter only does one point of damage more per shot. The Heavy Crossbow is also very stable when used on horseba

Scorpion's Stinger : The Scorpion's Stinger is unique in its ability to apply Scarlet Rot to an enemy. When combined with a talisman such as the Kindred of Rot's Exultation , the Scorpion's Stinger can dish out serious dam

Pair Moonveil with another Int-based katana like the Meteorite Blade to take advantage of shared scaling, or use classics like Rivers of Blood or the Hand of Malenia to complement Moonveil's buildup of Bleed.

The secret to obtaining this greatbow is only just now beginning to get out among Elden Ring players. It involves using a bow to drop large pots on the moving chariot trap in the Tomb of Knowledge. The Erdtree Greatbow stands out among the bows by splitting its damage between physical damage (60) and Holy damage (65). As a greatbow, this weapon also has excellent ra

This weapon has the Mighty Shot weapon skill. The Mighty Shot skill does a lot more damage than a standard shot but requires the player to draw the bow back fully before firing. This is the only light bow with the Mighty Shot skill. Since the Composite Bow is faster than most other bows, it allows the player to fire Mighty Shots faster than the larger bows that typically get this sk

Dagger : The only redeeming quality of the Dagger is that it can be upgraded to +25 with Smithing Stones, but even then, it is outshone by alternatives like the Bloodstained Dagger. Still, a decent option for those willing to invest in

Getting one is quite the headache though since the Preceptor Set can only be obtained from Seluvis' corpse after he gets killed by assassins near the end of Ranni's questline. Killing him prematurely won't yield the armor set, sadly. So to get this armor for sure, make sure to attend to Ranni's questline with the help of this guide and periodically check back with Seluvis in Seluvis' Rise in the Three Sisters area of Caria Ma

Bloodstained Dagger : A great no-nonsense choice. Since it's a basic weapon, it can be upgraded to +25 with regular Smithing Stones , but unlike the basic Dagger, it passively applies Bleed. Not only that, but when combined with another Ash of War, the Bloodstained Dagger can apply multiple status effe

The Royal Knight Set is a late-game armor that has goofy legs, so it's understandable if it's not that appealing as a fashion option. Stat-wise, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Clear Sky the armor is pretty decent for something that doesn't weigh too much. It has well-rounded defenses

Updated December 27, 2024 by Erik Petrovich : In Elden Ring, Moonveil Katana builds tend to focus on expanding the players' ability to wield this fast and versatile weapon with backup spells and weapons to complement the playstyle, as well as Talismans and Armor to help boost your effectiveness. This guide to the best Moonveil build Elden Ring players can put together has been updated to provide more details on these recommendations, including new information on the weapons' requirements and scaling, the most useful Sorceries, and more.

The best side weapon to use with Moonveil is another katana to unlock the Powerstancing moveset unique to the weapon class. Powerstancing in Elden Ring lets players trade off defense for raw damage output, practically dealing twice the amount of damage as normal.

Glintstone Kris : The Glintstone Kris grants players an interesting ability called "Glintstone Dart," but as far as a Sorcery spell in Elden Ring , it's fairly underwhelming. It may be useful in the early game, but any player building Intelligence will quickly find a better alternat

To get the Shortbow, Elden Ring players must purchase it from the Nomadic Merchant near the Coastal Cave location for 600 Runes, or defeat Marionette Soldiers encountered in Liurnia of the Lakes and other locations throughout the game. You can also get it as Starting Equipment for the Bandit cl

Updated August 12, 2024 by Vlad Mazanko: Fire has always been one of the most potent ways of killing one's enemies. Such is the case for the older Dark Souls games, and Elden Ring continues this tradition to a certain extent. Players will want to avoid getting the same treatment from their enemies, which is why Fire resistance in Elden Ring is too important to ign

FromSoftware has always had a penchant for variety, with each of their games (except Sekiro) offering players a plethora of viable and completely unique playstyles to choose from. In Elden Ring , no Intelligence/Dexterity hybrid is complete without the Moonveil , arguably the best Int-based weapon in Elden Ring .

The Moonveil build is one based primarily on speed and rapid attacks and regular use of its Ash of War, so Talismans that can take advantage of this playstyle shine. The Winged Sword Insignia and Warrior Shard are essential for increasing regular and special damage output, while the Carian Filigree Crest and the Lord of Blood's Exultation reduce FP consumption and increase attack power when opponents bleed.
