Best Elden Ring Builds For Beginners - Top 5 Early Game Builds

I didn’t know the game was on sale :/ I paid full price yesterday

for the mage build: you can actually take a shortcut to caelid by using the teleport chest at the ruin inside the limgrave lake

Great vid! You should create a series on these builds and how you progress them throughout the game. Such as a mid game update.

This video came the right time!I started playing elden ring again and I love it

Great sword build is horrible bro

The artwork for these thumbnails is really awesome, is there anywhere we can see all of them? Who is the artist?

For the Storm Blade build, you can get the Claymore inside the castle on the weeping penninsula. I litrally beat every boss with it so you can keep it and invest in it.

Wish I saw this before I started. I made a strength build with vagabond because people were telling me that was the best for someone who had never played a souls game before but I wish I was a spellcaster. I'm planning to respec I'm in the academy now

This is a great beginner video. Setting up 5 great builds that don't require friends dropping you weapons or running to kill Greyoll is gonna be super helpful to actual new players.

thank you!

Buddy and I have been playing seamless coop. This is great thanks!

Claymore is amazing for Beginners. So is the Large Club. Both can be obtained very early without fighting.

Great Epee is very long and very strong making it fantastic with StormBlade. Don't need to change weapons.

I'm almost level 500 and still watching this, I wonder why...

I actually think besides these great choices, a dual-wielding greatsword build is probably the most straightforward one in the game while not sacrificing on power at all. I started as a similar build to the "perfect paladin" one here, but realized that a greatsword does more damage than a straight sword, and TWO greatswords deal double the damage. Just use jumping attacks on enemies and whatever ash of war you want, it's too easy when you 1-hit regular mobs and need literally 7 jumps to take down bosses.

Also, Fire or Lightning infusions are the best to use for the first 150-200 levels of the game, even if you don't boost both stats just look at the ~25% AR boost you get when applying it. Anyone who thinks split damage types gets resisted more than one is misinformed, you can test it yourself using the dps number on enemies' healthbars, 99% or more of the enemies in the game take more damage from split scaling weapons.

Is the bow worth it nowadays? I remember at launch, and like half a year after, the bow was always extremely weak and an afterthought in design.

This is good. I haven’t played in a while and I don’t know the rebalance since the latest 1.1 patch. I need to get back to speed before the DLC drops

One little tip - as mage starter just go in ruins on Agheel lake and use trap chest to teleport in Caelid just after you get maunt so you can get staff and rock spell like in 5 minute.

This video is the best confirmation dlc is coming next month. TY.

as beginer i used play with mage build.. since i afraid when enemy near me, then start using samurai after that.. i like it

i just play this game, how samurai can make bleed?

but what if i dont wanna be a monster and still want a good talisman

I quit playing after a week after buying it when it came out & started playing it again. Trying things out that I never did & exploring more. I'm happy Elden Ring is coming back in popularity.

I use blood uchikatana with blood slash skill. Rakes!

The nagakiba has the AoW unsheath naturally just remove spinning strikes from it and boom it’ll have it without you having to get the scarab and be ganged up on by 2-3 crabs

While the video is great, you gotta show where these things are for new players. If I were new, this would be almost useless aside from hearing that samurai is a good starting class since locations weren't explained at all. Show the maps in relation to where you start. It will help newer players

I'm very new to games. When you say "buy weapons", do we really have to add real money to our Steam account?

Excellent video.

lovd these. makes me wanna play again

Can you do a magma blade fire build?

First of all i like to provide a strength build that you can either play shielded as a tank or weilding a big weapon two handed. Starting as vagabond Should be easier for the majority of new players. Hero can be better if you know 100% what weapons you want to use. Good early strength weapons you can look up at the elden Ring wiki are: zweihsnder, mace, broadsword, iron cleaver, morning star and the bastard sword (among others) a fun strategy against bosses is to use a teo banded weapon with the warcry ash of war. Buff yourself and use the special charged R2 (heavy attacks) enough armor for 51 poise like the one in shop of roundtable hold make a big difference.
Your weapon get a strength modifier of 50% when you use thrm two handed. That's why you only need 13 strength to weild the zweihander. I can't stress enough how important vigor is. Putting points into it makes a night and day difference. Also don't stress aboutbskill point spread too much since you will be able to respecc multiple times (look up larval tear). Good luck tarnished!

Best of luck to all the new players! One more thing i like to add is ehen you look up builds pay attention to the rime they were made. Release Elden Ring played very different from current Elden Ring.. weapons like hsmmers and axes are totally viable!

I don't like Bloody Slash, especially early, because it takes a significant amount of your own HP. I prefer Blood Blade.

This is a great video for new players to just learn like the "vocabulary" of the game. Like, all other elden ring info will make more sense to them after watching this I think.

Oh my lord the Margit flashback

thanks for the video -

Looks like it's time to start my 16th run.

Oh, the timing on this is perfect. I just picked it up this morning via the Steam Sale. 🙂 Thanks! 👍

If u are on pc, u can use the seamless coop mod and also the boost discovery mod to farm for gear. Wherever or whatever u are fighting it drops everything in their loot pool on the first kill.

Hi man, i love ur videos about begginer, lvls 50, 100 and 150 builds but personally think that we - new palyers might need some kind of build development path explanation video like: if you play samurai you can either switch to moonveil or go physical etc.

I destroyed this game using a longsword with storm blade on it. It was unreal powerful and was a great option the entire game.

Also for beginners, I recommend going through the Cave of Knowledge right at the beginning. It’s the game’s tutorial and will get you an easy 600 runes and let you buy the crafting kit immediately.

I really like the early game builds he released back in 2022. This video just kind of touches on them a little bit, but if anyone is interested in learning more he has a playlist for early game builds and all game builds

the only beginner build is deprived with huge bonk with the first 60 levels only leveling strength

Yes please more elden ring

Nagakiba has Unsheathe by default, you jsut have to remove the Piercing Fang AoW btw
