Elden Ring Best Weapons For Strength Build

Okay, Tarnished, let's talk bonk. We're talking Strength builds. We're talking making enemies go splat. Forget your fancy magic; we're hitting things until they stop moving.

The Usual Suspects: Are They Really THAT Good?

Everyone and their mother recommends the Greatsword. Yeah, it's good. It's reliable. But is it...exciting?

I'm gonna say it. It's a little boring. Don't get me wrong, it'll carry you. But let's explore some weirder, potentially more fun options, shall we?

Giant-Crusher: The Obvious Choice (That's Still Awesome)

Alright, alright, I can't ignore it completely. The Giant-Crusher is basically a telephone pole you use to punish gravity. It's ridiculous.

It's slow. Like, glacial slow. But when it hits? Forget about it. Pure, unadulterated pancake-making power.

Just be ready to dodge. A lot. You'll miss, a lot, too.

The "Unpopular" Opinions (Prepare for Downvotes!)

Now, for the fun part. These are the weapons I actually enjoyed. The ones that made my Strength build feel unique.

First up: the Pickaxe. Yes, the mining tool. Hear me out!

It's faster than you think. The charged heavy attack is a poise-breaking MACHINE. And frankly, beating a boss with a pickaxe is just hilarious.

More Heresy: The Greataxe (Yes, Really!)

I know, I know. Greataxes are supposed to be...meh. But consider the moveset!

The rolling attack is deceptively fast. The jumping attack is devastating. And the weapon art? Surprisingly useful for closing distance.

Plus, you look like a barbarian. Which is always a plus, right?

Colossal Swords: Beyond the Greatsword

Okay, let’s talk big blades. Sure, the Greatsword is good. But what about some of the other colossal options?

The Royal Greatsword, inherited from Blaidd, is awesome. The weapon art is super fun to use. It hits like a truck, looks cool, and has lore behind it!

Don't sleep on the Troll Knight's Sword either. People often forget this bad boy. It deals strike damage, which is good for certain enemies. Plus, it looks like a proper fantasy sword.

Don't Forget the Ashes of War!

No matter what weapon you choose, Ashes of War are key. Lion's Claw? Amazing for poise breaking. Giant Hunt? Great for dealing with pesky knights.

Experiment! Find what works for you. That's the beauty of Elden Ring.

Finally, remember to jump attack! Its the best attack. Trust me.

The Bottom Line: Have Fun, Tarnished!

Look, these are just suggestions. The "best" weapon is the one you enjoy using. The one that makes you feel like a god among ants.

So go out there. Experiment. Find your perfect bonk stick. And most importantly, have fun getting gud. You’re gonna die a lot.

Now go forth and flatten some Elden Lords!
