In this guide, let’s discuss how to make a great Pure Strength Build for NG+ in Elden Ring. This is a very overpowered build for Level 200 (or higher) characters.
Stats you need to invest in
This is a very simple section. Invest as many points as possible in our main category: Strength. 99 Strength is ideal. You don’t need a lot of Dexterity and about 15 points will be enough. I myself have only 11 in DEX. This is only for wielding certain weapons.
The next two main stats are Vigour and Endurance. I have 80 Vigour, which is kind of too much. But the more health you have, the better this build is going to work. Because you will be depending on dodges, you must have the ability to tank hits. As you level up further, upgrade Vigour to 99, just for the heck of it. Admittedly, the soft cap of Vigour will make further upgrading kind of weak, however.
For Endurance, you need more than 40 points, minimum. In this build, you will be burning through Stamina, and there will be occasions when you need to wear very heavy armour. So, keep investing points in this category as well.
Talismans
Because you have your main skills at maximum (that is, Strength, vigour and Endurance), do not use Soreseal talismans. While they’re really good, they increase your damage intake and we do not want that. Besides, Soreseals would be only a little useful. I advise you not to equip them.
Equip the Roar Medallion to boost your Roar attacks, which will be the Ashes of War we will use for this build.
You will need the Dragoncrest Greatshield Talisman which reduces physical damage intake by a whopping 20%. With the super-high vigour and this talisman, it will take many hits for you to go down.
The other two Talismans can be whatever you prefer. I personally equip Erdtree’s Favour +2 to increase my Health, Stamina and Equip Load, and the Crimson Amber Medallion +2 to further increase my health. Another good talisman is the Bull Goat Talisman which boosts your poise.
