A pure DEX Build that uses the Nagakiba and Grease to have the best damage for any situation, coupled with extremely high mobility.
The way this Build works is that you'll focus on using Unsheathe during difficult encounters or during 1v1 type situations. The R1 attack is much faster than the R2, but deals less Stance damage and is ideal for situations where you don't know what the enemy is going to do, since it comes out faster than the R2 attack.
The R2 attack is used to deal more damage when you can predict the attack, but also when you are trying to Stance-break an enemy or boss. Repeated attacks with the R2 can Stance-break most Bosses in 3 hits, not unlike Moonveil, allowing you to get free attacks or a Critical Attack.
You can use different Greases depending on the boss or enemy you are facing. For example, Blood Grease works exceptionally well since the weapon already has native bleed build up on it, allowing you to trigger Hemorrhage much more easily. Make sure to craft and use Greases on harder to defeat enemies and bosses.

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.
