A Dexterity/Faith Build that uses the Cross-Naginata to to set Hemorrhage and Black Flame on enemies in melee range.
The way this Build works is that you'll buff with Golden Vow and you'll use Bloodflame Blade to help set Hemorrhage on most regular enemies, as it adds to the native bleeding of the Cross-Naginata or Nagakiba. You'll then use Phantom Slash if you're using Cross-Naginata or Sword Dance or Double Slash if you're using Nagakiba.
Phantom Slash applies Bloodflame Blade if you're buffed with it to its attacks, and what's great is that it will connect even if you get staggered during your own attack animation, allowing you to stagger enemies in many cases, and allowing you to recover and attack. You'll have to choose your openings a bit more carefully when using Sword Dance or Double Slash, but Sword Dance still has fantastic range.
Black Flame Blade is used on more difficult enemies, and since you have high Faith the damage it adds to your attacks is substantial, and this is in addition to the Black Flame damage over time it places on the enemy.
Black Flame is great for range when you need it, and Scouring Black Flame is a good AoE that can hit multiple enemies and is good at mid range when enemies are aggressive, and Black Flame might miss. Black Flame Ritual is fantastic against aggressive or large enemies and it hits like a truck. I like to charge it for a larger radius, making it hit more effectively and increasing its damage due to Godfrey Icon. Black Flame's Protection stacks with Golden Vow and will make you very very hard to kill.

Carian Cleaver is a hybrid build that can be used early in the game and ultimately, towards the endgame, including New Game Plus. The Carian Cleaver build highlights high damage of spellcasting and melee attacks. If you're looking for that balance between casting spells and being effective in melee combat, then this build is for you.
The Vanquisher Build is an "all-game" build that players can use fairly at the beginning of the game and until the end. The highlight of this build is the Dragon Halberd weapon, making it special because of the skill that is associated, which is the Ash of War: Spinning Slash that buffs the damage with Ice Lightning by 160 Lightning Damage and 80 Frost build up for 45 seconds. Not only does it have great damage, but the weapon has a decent guard boost.
The Gold Breaker Build is an "NG+" build that utilizes Marika's Hammer, a weapon you acquire by trading the Elden Remembrance with Enia at Roundtable Hold after defeating the final boss in Elden Ring. Even though we were hesitant to create a build that focuses on the weapon, we've realized that there is much more the hammer weapon can offer and we have come up with a build that players can resort to if they want to use Marika's Hammer.
The Warrior of Waves (Strength build) is an all-game build that can be used from the middle part of the game, until you beat Elden Ring, and through New Game Plus. This build primarily focuses on the use of the Ruins Greatsword weapon, a colossal sword that has fantastic scaling and devastating power once it is fully upgraded.
The Tower Knight (Strength build) is an all-game build that takes place after level 150. If you’ve been looking for a hammer build that can consistently break the stance of any and every enemy then you might want to check this build-out. This build utilizes the Morning Star hammer weapon and the Cragblade ash of war to easily break the stance or "stance break" against enemies.
