Elden Ring has been released for a week and is already on its way to becoming one of the most popular games of 2022. FromSoftware provides a sublime experience to the players of the game by providing a vast and expansive open-world, RPG experience and combining it with their famous ‘Souls’ mechanics. They have also provided the players with an all-new Class system, that includes 10 new classes for the players to choose from.

Many players have been struggling with choosing the class that works best with their playstyle. Having a comprehensive understanding of a specific class will help them in making this decision. One of the most popular classes is the Warrior Class in Elden Ring. Learn how to build the Warrior Class in Elden Ring below:

• Level 8
• Vigor 11
• Mind 12
• Endurance 11
• Strength 10
• Dexterity 16
• Intelligence 10
• Faith 8
• Arcane 9

The dominant characteristics of this class are Dexterity, Mind, Vigor, and Endurance. This class will be the perfect choice for players that wish to get up close and personal with their enemies and use melee style combat. The Warrior Class comes with dual blades from scratch; therefore players will be able to use the dual-wielding ability from the start of the game.

Building the Warrior Class in Elden Ring

The first stat that players should look to upgrade is Vigor. Upgrading this stat will reduce the amount of damage the player takes with each attack. This is an essential upgrade as the player will be taking many hits when they are in close quarters with the enemy. The next stat they should concentrate on is Endurance. as this class consumes a lot of stamina therefore pumping up Endurance will be recommended for the players. After that, the players should focus on Dexterity as upgrading this stat will provide more damage infliction with each attack. This will be needed to take on the stronger enemies of the game.

Combat Strategy for Warrior Class in Elden Ring

As this Class has the dual-wielding ability and an extremely fast move set, the players should aim towards getting the bleed status activated on their enemies to take them down faster. This can be done by attaching Ashes of War with bleed status effects to both Scimitars that this class uses as weapons. The Ashes of War that players are recommended to use is the Bloody Slash, check out how to find it below:

• Bloody Slash can be obtained from Fort Haight in Elden Ring, here they will have to defeat the boss to obtain the Ashes of War.
• This can only be used one blade; therefore the players will have to duplicate it to use it on the other Scimitar.
• To duplicate the Ashes of War, the player will first have to purchase the Lost Ashes of War from the Isolated Merchant.
• Then they will have to go to the Roundtable hold, where they can talk to Melena at the Site of Grace in that area.
• This will then allow the players to approach the Blacksmith, duplicate the Bloody Slash Ashes of War and apply it to both the Scimitars.

Having the bleed status effect is the recommended playstyle for the Warrior Class. With the quick move set and devastating slashes, the players will be able to activate this status effect rather quickly. Once it has been activated, the players will be able to pick off these enemies with ease and slice them into oblivion. Players should be fast while executing their attacks as the bleed status effects build up and also drains rather quickly, therefore taking your time while attacking will not be advisable. Sprinting and Jumping while attacking enemies is the advisable combat strategy for players using the Warrior Class in Elden Ring.

Talismans

Players should also consider getting the Green Turtle Talisman for this class as all the moves performed by the Warrior consume a generous amount of stamina. Having the Green Turtle Talisman will help the players recover the lost stamina a lot quicker. Erdtree’s Favor is another Talisman that players should consider for this build as it will raise the Base HP, Stamina and Equip Load for the player. These Talismans will help the players survive many difficult situations in the game. Blessed Dew Talisman can also be acquired to slowly restore the player’s HP while in combat.
