Strongest Elden Ring Faith Build 2023: One Shot Pyromancer Build After 1.09

If you are looking to build a build that takes down enemies with one shot, this Elden Ring 1.09 Faith Pyromancer build by @TitusActualGaming is the most overpowered and dominating one to try, it uses Blasphemous Blade and its skill Taker's Flames, which gives a ton of damage, pairs with the strongest fire (pyromancy) incantations, powerful talismans, useful buffs, and consumables. 

1. Stats

Starting with the attributes, a mind of 30 gives more quality of life, take faith to 70 and use items to push it to 80, which allows you to hit the major soft cap on the seal and hit the final soft cap on fire damage scaling on the weapon.

- Vigor 50

- Mind 30

- Endurance 25

- Strength 22

- Dexterity 15

- Intelligence 7

- Faith 70

- Arcane 10

2. Weapons 

- Blasphemous Blade: this is one of the strongest weapons in the entire game and it scales very well in a faith fire build. Head to Volcano Manor and kill Rykard, then you can use his remembrance to purchase the Blasphemous Blade at the Roundtable Hold. The weapon itself does physical and fire damage, and the skill on this weapon called the Taker's Flames does absolutely absurd fire damage that scales purely off of your faith.

- Erdtree Seal (main hand): a weapon that scales with faith, it has the best faith incantation scaling in the game, which makes it one of the best sacred seals. To get it, you need to go to the Volcano Manor. 

- Giant's Seal (offhand): primarily scales with faith, it raises the attack power of Giant’s Flame and Fire Monk’s Incantations by 20%. You can find it in the Giant-Conquering Hero's Grave Site of Grace. 

3. Armor

The Blaidd's set is recommended as it is one of the best-looking sets in Elden Ring and also hits the 51 breakpoints for poise, it also gets as much defense as possible. And you can use any helmet. 

Blaidd's Greaves (17 poise)

Blaidd's Gauntlets (6 poise)

Blaidd's Armor (28 poise)

Black Knife Hood

4. Spells

- Burn O Flame!: this is the strongest pyromancy in the game, it does the most damage and is also the best to use, and it creates a bunch of pillars of fire around you, you actually increase the number of pillars by charging the spell.

- Flame of the Fell God: it has a unique mechanic that creates a massive fireball that slowly hovers towards your enemy and then explodes and also does damage over time, you can get this extremely early in the game.

- Giantsflame Take Thee: this spell is chargeable, it casts a ball of flame with extremely high damage and AOE. 

- O, Flame!: a very strong and fast melee ranged incantation, it creates a large, powerful flame from the hand.

- Flame, Fall Upon Them: this is a really cool AOE pyromancy and this launches out a bunch of fireballs and if you charge it, all those fireballs will explode in a giant AOE zone of destruction.

- Frenzied Burst: another chargeable spell that does massive damage, the range on it is phenomenal, you can kill enemies from a safe distance. 

5. Talismans

Talisman is one of the most important power resources of your build, for this Faith Pyromancy build, here are some of the best talismans to use. 

- Fire Scorpion Charm: this will increase your fire damage by 12% but increases your physical damage taken by 10%.

- Ritual Sword Talisman: it increases damage by 10% at full HP, which pairs well with constant healing from the Blasphemous Blade.

- Godfrey Icon: increases the damage of all charged spells and skills by 15%. 

- Flock’s Canvas Talisman: increases the damage of incantations by 8%. 

- Shard of Alexander: grants 15% additional damage to all skills. 

6. Buffs & Consumable Items

When it comes to maximizing the damage output of this build, there are some buffs and consumables you can utilize. 

- Golden Vow: a great choice for a faith build, it increases all damage by 15% and damage negation by 10%, lasts 80 seconds. 

- Howl of Shabriri: it buffs all damage by 25%, and also increases damage taken by 30%.

- Flame-Shrouding Cracked Tear: when used in your flask this increases your fire damage by 20% for three minutes this should always be in your flask and use this for tough enemies and bosses.

Faith-Knot Crystal Tear: this increases your faith by 10 for 3 minutes, this is very strong early on, it's also going to let us hit that 80 soft cap for Faith and save us a lot of stat points.

- Stonebarb Cracked Tear: if you push the build to level 160 or above and you've maxed Faith, then head over to Eastern Caelid and kill the Putrid Avatar there and grab this tear, this will raise the ability of your spells and skills to break enemies chances by 30%.

As for consumables, the Oil Pot will increase your next fire damage attack by 50%, and it can be crafted after obtaining the Nomadic Warrior’s Cookbook (17). Another one is Giantsflame Fire Pot, which causes fire damage, ranging from 331 to 702, and you can craft it after obtaining the Armorer’s Cookbook (7). Both of them are easy to farm.
