Elden Ring has a vast array of weapons, armor, and spells that players can use to create their own unique builds. The strength build is one of the most popular builds in the game, and it has been updated in patch 1.10. In this guide, we will explore the best strength builds after the 1.10 patch.

Elden Ring 1.10 Best Strength Weapons & Builds

Patch 1.10 made a number of changes to strength build and weapons in Elden Ring. Increased poise damage for all strength weapons. This means that strength builds will be able to stagger enemies more easily, making them more effective in close-quarters combat. Buffed the damage of colossal swords and greataxes. These weapons were previously considered to be underpowered, so this buff should make them more viable options for strength builds. Nerf to the damage of bleed builds. Bleed builds were previously very powerful, so this nerf should make them more balanced. Fix for a bug that caused the Ash of War "Stance Break" to not work properly. This Ash of War allows players to break the poise of enemies, making it a valuable tool for strength builds. Overall, patch 1.10 made a number of changes that should make strength builds more powerful and versatile.
