Elden Ring’s expansive class system has been appreciated by all, and many players are trying out all sorts of builds and combinations to figure out what suits their playstyle the best. There are three basic types of characters that players can create, magic-based, melee-based and a combination of both, but there are umpteen number of variants that players can create with these builds.
Intelligence Builds in the game has piqued the interests of many players in Elden Ring. Through this build the players will be able to scale their incantations and magic-based weapons. To create the build from this guide, the players will have to be at least at level 50. This is a mid-game build that will help the players take out the stronger bosses and enemies further into the game. Players should either choose the Prophet or Prisoner Class to create this build. Check out our Elden Ring Intelligence Build guide to learn how to build this class below:
Equipment and Spells
For the weapons the players should choose a Meteorite Staff for their incantations and the Keen Rapier for their magic based attacks. With the Keen Rapier the players should use the Glintblade Phalanx Ash of War, when activated it release an arch of magic blades around the player than can be used to attack enemies from a distance. They should definitely upgrade these weapons with the Smithing Stones that can be found in the game.
For spells the players would mostly use Gintstone Pebble as this is one of the best sorcery-based, ranged incantations in the game. The other spell that they should use is the Carian Greatsword spell as this will take out chunks of health from the enemies when combined with the Keen Rapier. Scholar’s Armament is also a great spell that will boost the magic damage of the Keen rapier. Loretta’s Greatbow is also a spell the players can use if they wish to have another ranged attack in their arsenal.
For armor the players should check out the Spellblade Armor Set as it will greatly increase Glintstone sorcery damage. In this armor set the players will obtain Spellblade’s Pointed Hat, Spellbalde’s Travelling Attire, Spellblade’s Gloves and Spellblade’s Trousers.
Talismans
Radagon Icon in Elden Ring is a legendary Talisman that cuts down the amount of time consumed to cast a spell when equipped. This Talisman can be found in the Raya Lucaria Academy region, near the Debate Parlor Site of Grace. The players will have to search for a chest in this area to obtain the Talisman.
Assassins Cerulean Dagger is the next Talisman that players should get. When equipped, the players will gain a certain amount of FP when they hit their opponents with critical damage. To obtain this Talisman the players will have to defeat the Black Knife Assassin, that can be located in Black Knife Catacombs, in the Liurnia of the Lakes region.
Graven-School Talisman is the third and final one players should obtain for this build. This Talisman will increase the potency of sorceries when equipped, which is essential for this build. Right before taking on the Red Wold of Radagon, players will be in area with book shelves around them. They will need to hit the book shelf next to the left staircase to open a secret entrance to an area that holds the Graven-School Talisman.
Stat Spread for Intelligence Build in Elden Ring
As the player is going for an Intelligence Dominant build, the first stat they should focus on is Intelligence itself, it well greatly improve the player’s ability to cast sorceries. The second stat that players should concentrate on is Dexterity, as this will increase the damage inflicted per hit through the Keen Rapier. The third and final stat they need to focus on is Vigor, this stat will ensure the player’s survivability as it increases the damage the player can absorb from enemy attacks.
