Top Six Arcane Weapon Builds in Elden Ring

Aug-01-2024 PST Category: Elden Ring
Hello everyone! I hope you're having a great day. Today, I'm going to share what I consider to be the six best arcane weapons in Elden Ring. The DLC introduces so many new and amazing arcane weapons that it was hard to narrow it down. In fact, I couldn't limit it to just five builds because there were so many good options to choose from, so I decided to add one more.

Arcane is an interesting stat in Elden Ring. It increases your luck with item drops from NPCs, provides bonus damage to arcane scaling weapons, and most importantly, it makes status effects trigger faster. This is important because it affects bleed and poison, two of the strongest status effects in the game, especially in PvE. While not all builds focus on bleed, it is an extremely powerful mechanic, so it features prominently in this list. So, let's dive into these fantastic arcane builds. In order to save your time and avoid wasting too much effort to experience new content, you can buy Elden Ring Runes on MMoexp with competitive prices, instant delivery, professional services and security guarantee.

The Putrescent Cleaver, a new addition from the DLC, is a fantastic weapon that scales well with both Strength and Arcane. It's a great axe that delivers high damage and has impressive poise damage. The weapon's quick light attacks and powerful jump attacks make it a versatile choice for any situation.
