Elden Ring New Bleed Build: Best Gear, Stats

4/24/2022 5:18:23 PM

One of the best places for Elden Ring is to be able to try different builds. This rewards players who collect a large number of useful items while encouraging multiple clearances. It seems that bleed setups are more powerful than ever before, some of the arcane-related Elden Ring items were kind of nerfed to the ground, especially ones that were already strong options in the previous update are even more powerful in the new one.

Bleed Nerfs in 1.04 Explained

There are only two changes that directly or indirectly address blood loss.

Fixed a bug where the animation when inflicted with blood loss and frostbite was bigger than originally planned. But it wasn't removed and it still works at interrupting many stunning enemies even bosses, the only big disadvantage here is the fact that the Swarm of Flies definitely decreased blood loss build-up on the enemy.

Best New Bleed Gear

Weapon 1: Bandit’s Occult Curved Sword+25

This Weapon has good scaling, great base damage, it heavily benefits from arcane scaling when changing to a cult or even dexterity when changing to bleed.

Weapon 2: Scavenger’s Occult Curved Sword +25

Weapon 3: Dragon Communion Seal +10

It still has a max scaling from arcane but the scaling itself in terms of numbers is much lower than before, if you go with high faith you deal more damage outright, but you will lose a ton of the bloodlust meanwhile if you go the other way around you don't have that much damage outright with the initial explosion, but you do have a lot more blood loss so that's a lot more worth it since that's the better option.

Helm: White Mask

Armor: Black Knife Armor

Gauntlets: Black Knife Gauntlets

Talisman1: Millicent’s Prosthesis

Talisman 2: Lord of Blood’s Exultation

Talisman 3: Rotten Winged Sword Insignia

Talisman 4: Radagon's Soreseal

Incantation 1: Swarm of Flies

It has seen a huge nerf in the new update, you can see the difference for yourselves, the procs of the bleeds are way less after the recent changes and it makes sense because that was directly nerfed in 1.04 to the point that if you think you can solo bosses or even regular enemies with this anymore, you're wrong, this one has also been buffed you can unleash it way faster and what it comes in terms of advantages is against big hitbox enemies if you can line up the entire splatter on the ground and make sure that the enemy steps in it.

Incantation 2: Bloodflame Talons

This is an excellent skill, it had its cast speed increase, it's fully spammable and because you both do an explosion that interrupts enemies and the bleed interrupt itself, you can literally stun lock an enemy before it even gets a chance to do anything assuming that you can fully release it at once, this stacks up for thousands of damage.

Tool 1: Flask of Crimson Tears +5

Tool 2: Flask of Cerulean Tears +6

Rivers of Blood After 1.04

Rivers of Blood which hasn't changed in the new update still deals very high damage, it still does a good job at kind of like stacking enemies in like animation or staggering them and you still apply to bleed at the same rate as before, the only difference you might notice is in PVP.
