Intelligence builds in Elden Ring can be powerful options for players looking to focus on specific weapons that focus on sorcery. But a huge part of any of these builds will be the intelligence weapon you choose to use and that's where the options become even more varied and complicated to choose from.

So if you're struggling to figure out what the best intelligence weapons in Elden ring are that you can choose from, then you can rest assured, as we have you covered. Below we have listed the top five best intelligence weapons you should be using in Elden Ring for your next intelligence build.

Best Intelligence Weapons In Elden Ring

Intelligence weapons in Elden ring focus on dealing high amounts of damage with incantations, on top of the direct physical damage they dish out. This means that most weapons will need to have a good balance of each type of damage, but most will be powerful because of the incantations they possess as they are based on magic.

As such we have ordered the best intelligence weapons in Elden Ring by the overall power they can dish out and how well they scale over time in both physical damages, but most importantly the power of their incantations.

Moonveil

Requirements: 23 Intelligence, 12 Strength, 18 Dexterity

Moonveil Location: To find Moonveil, you have to defeat the main boss of the Gael Tunnel in Caelid. Located on the border area of Caelid and Limgrave.

At the top of our list is Moonveil. A favorite for PvP and Intelligence build users, and for good reason. This katana scales with intelligence and deals tremendous amounts of damage at a close range in quick succession.

This gives you the ability to attack at a long range with spells and incantations but gives you a (literal) edge in close-range combat. Where Moonveil stands out is due to its Transient Moonlight weapon skill that allows you to sheath the blade and release a powerful long-range vertical or horizontal beam slash attack.
