The Noble Swordsman Build for Elden Ring is an early-game build that new players must try, we highly recommend this when you start the game, and eventually, it can still be used and it will carry you until end-game. To make this build work, first off, you need to acquire a straight sword, and these weapons are either the Noble's Slender Sword or Lordsworn's Straight Sword weapon. The Noble's Slender Sword is what we highly recommend and is what we use for this build since is that it has a longer reach and better points in terms of damage output.

Both weapons have the Square Off skill which is one of the best Ashes of War in Elden Ring. It costs less FP and its attacks from using it cause high damage and ultimately, break a boss stance from successfully landing up to 2 or 3 hits. When playing this build, you want to be able to use Square Off as much as you can and less of the basic attacks, because once an enemy or boss falls to the ground, you can follow up with a critical attack.

As far as Talismans, it will depend on what these accessories can complement when it comes to the player's build:

A few other notes to highlight is that this build is versatile, you can use "Grease" items to coat and buff your weapon with different elements depending on the weakness of the enemy or boss you are fighting. This way it gives the player flexibility and to easily adapt to the situation at hand. Also, you may want to stack up with the Exalted Flesh which temporarily boosts the Physical Attack. Finally, using Radahn's Great Rune in our opinion works perfectly for this build since it raises the player's maximum HP, FP, and Stamina.
