Top 3 Best Bleed Builds in Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree DLC

Bleed builds are one of the best builds to play with in Elden Ring when it comes to dealing thousands of damage to enemies. This guide will cover the top three best bleed builds for Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree DLC.

Best Bleed Builds in Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree DLC

When it comes to the best builds in Elden Ring, the Bleed Builds are common among the players due to the sheer amount of damage you can deal with a single hit. On top of that, inflicting the bleed status effect on enemies will deal damage equal to a percentage of their max health. You can get rid of a quarter of the boss’ health when you inflict blood loss, making it one of the best Status Effects to use against the majority of the bosses in the game.

Below are the top three best Bleed Builds you can use to get through almost all of the bosses in Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree:

Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree Falx Bleed Build

The standout part of this bleed build is the weapon Falx, a Curved Sword that causes up to 55 blood loss buildup with each hit. Although the weapon does not scale with Arcane, you can still use sheer Dexterity to increase the weapon’s damage.

Additionally, the Unique Skill of the weapon, Revenger’s Blade, allows you to dash into the enemy and land multiple rapid hits in one go. One attack is enough to inflict bleed on the enemy with this weapon’s unique skill.

Combine it with the above Talismans and you have a great bleed build with buffs to your dual-wielded weapon’s rapid attacks.

Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree Scavenger’s Curved Sword Bleed Build

The jump attack for this weapon lands four hits that are enough to inflict bleed status on the enemy, combined with the above buffs. The talismans will increase damage for your jump attacks and every successive hit on the enemy, along with the Wonderous Flask upgrade.

If you are dealing with enemies with weird hitboxes, you can switch to a sprint attack build by changing to Leda’s Armor and new DLC talismans that enhance sprint attacks.

Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree Star Fist Bleed Build

Although the weapon used for this build is a Fist weapon, it is one of the fastest DPS weapons in the game. The charged attack for Star Fists takes less time to execute than other weapons in the game, and you can break enemy stances in three to four charged attacks.

The talismans increase the charge attack and critical hit damage, dealing thousands of damage in one hit. You can use any armor set of your choice for protection, but this build uses Blue Dancer Charm to further increase damage with lower Equip Weight.

One thing necessary for this build is the Cragblade Ash of War, which you will switch out for the weapon’s default skill. It increases the chances of breaking enemy stances, which will get you that sweet damage with the critical hit.

These are all the top three builds that will help you get through any boss fight in Elden Ring and the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC. If you are looking to try any of the above bleed builds but have used skill points on other stats, then you should look into resetting your skill points.
