In Elden Ring, there is a diverse selection of weapon builds available to choose from, making it possible to accommodate a variety of play styles. We have compiled a list of the top five weapons for each stat (STR, DEX, IN, FTH, and ARC) in order to assist you in determining which weapons you should focus on obtaining and how to do so. It is important to keep in mind that there are a great many effective weapons in existence that were not included on our list, and there were many compelling arguments for the inclusion of other items. Be sure to take a look at our ranked list of the top armor sets in Elden Ring if you are interested in purchasing sets of armor.

The Most Effective Weapons for Strength

It is the Axe of Godfrey. Its Ash of War is Regal Roar, a mighty roar that boosts your character's attack power and sends out an unguardable shockwave around them. The only damage dealt by the armament is physical, and neither its affinity nor its weapon skill can be changed. Although it is a fantastic weapon for pure Strength builds, due to the fact that it has not in the least bit poor Dexterity scaling, it can also be fantastic for Quality builds.

To obtain the Axe of Godfrey, first you will need to unlock the Remembrance of Hoarah Loux, which is a reward for defeating Godfrey, the First Lord of Elden, and then you will need to give it to Enia at the Roundtable Hold. This will allow you to obtain the Axe of Godfrey.
The Most Effective Instruments of Deftness
Gransax in a NutshellOne of the Legendary Armaments that can be obtained in Elden Ring is called the Bolt of Gransax. Its one-of-a-kind Ash of War is an Ancient Lightning Spear, which enables the user to charge the weapon and then launch it at their foes after aiming it. When combined with the Godfrey Icon and the Shard of Alexander talisman, this makes for an excellent spammable. Remember that this weapon deals an additional 10% damage when used against Ancient Dragons and an additional 20% damage when used against regular Dragons. This armament is one of the best, if not the best, Dexterity weapon in Elden Ring, so it more than lives up to the expectations that were placed upon it.

Location: You can acquire this weapon in Leyndell, which is located in the Ashen Capital. You need to make sure to get it before you defeat Maliketh, the Black Blade, because if you don't, you won't be able to get it again until the next time we play through the game. There are two different approaches you can take to find the Bolt of Gransax:

After defeating Godfrey, First Elden Lord (Golden Shade), leave the Erdtree Sanctuary grace site through the western door. Then you should take the elevator to the lower level, proceed further down the staircase, and leap onto the enormous spear. You should be able to spot it close to the handle of the enormous spear.

You can also enter Leydnell, the Royal Capital, without slaying the Godfrey shade if you take this route. After reaching the grace site at the East Capital Rampart Gate, proceed westward through the door, ride the lift to the south, and then ascend the ladder. You and two other Perfumers should head in a southwesterly direction to the patio, and then you should jump over the railing onto the walkway below. Continue to follow the path to the west until you reach the railing that surrounds the giant spear. Once you reach the railing, make a running jump from the broken railing to the gazebo (note that this running jump is challenging). You will be able to acquire the weapon if you are able to successfully perform a jump on top of the enormous spear without falling off.

The Most Powerful Intelligence-Gaining Weapons
The Harpoon of Clayman:Impaling Thrust is the default weapon skill for the Clayman's Harpoon. It is a piercing lunge that allows you to pierce through the shields of your enemies. On the other hand, you are free to substitute it with the Ash of War of your choosing.

Clayman's Harpoon is distinguished from other weapons in that, when allied with the Standard alignment, it scales with Intellect and can be enhanced by magical means. Because of this, it's possible to generate fairly high damage outputs. For instance, if you use Clayman's Harpoon at +25 affinity with Standard, it will grant you 513 AR while increasing your Intellect by 80. If you cast Scholar's Armament while wielding Lusat's Glintstone Staff, you will be able to increase the damage output by an additional 413 (Sorcery Scaling with Lusat's Staff +10) * 0.75 (Scholar's Armament modifier) = 309 damage. This is possible due to the fact that it can be buffed. You will receive 822 AR as a result of this, putting you on par with some of the best colossal weapons in the game. I'd say that's pretty good for a mage, don't you think? If you use it in conjunction with the Ash of War: Spinning Weapon ability, you will be able to completely destroy the health bars of most bosses.

However, this is entirely dependent on the way you play. Standard, Magic, or Cold are the affinities that are recommended for Clayman's Haproon.

The armament can be obtained by traveling to either the Uhl Palace Ruins, the Siofra River, or the Ainsel River and searching for Clayman foes who are wielding it. Because the weapon will not always drop, you should be prepared to spend some time gathering resources.

The Most Powerful Instruments of Faith
The Blade of Blasphemy:Taker's Flames is the name of the weapon skill that comes equipped with the Blasphemous Blade. It enables the user to light the blade on fire and then perform a projectile wave that moves along the ground in a line. You will gain health from enemies as they are hit by it. This weapon can make the game too easy for you to enjoy, not only because it restores some of your health when it kills an enemy and drains some of their health when it uses its ability, but also because it deals quite a bit of damage! It is safe to say that the Blasphemous Blade is the best armament in Elden Ring for Faith or Str/Fai builds. This is a statement that can be made without any hesitation.

How to get it: Defeat Rykard, Lord of Blasphemy, on Mount Gelmir, and you will be rewarded with Remembrance of the Blasphemous as a prize for your efforts. This will allow you to obtain the Blasphemous Blade. In order to obtain this weapon, you must first present the Remembrance to Enia at Roundtable Hold.

The Finest Examples of Arcane Weaponry
The Poleblade of Eleonora :Bloodblade Dance is the name of the weapon skill associated with Eleonora's Poleblade. It enables the user to perform a sequence of leaps and slashes, culminating in an attack that can be used to dodge backward. A very impressive ability that can cause Blood Loss to build up in the span of a single blink of the eye.

Despite the fact that the weapon does not excel in terms of AR and raw damage output, its strength is in its ability to quickly build up Blood Loss, which can be useful against a large number of enemies throughout the game.

In order to obtain Eleonora's Poleblade, you will need to complete the questline that is given by Yura, the Bloody Finger Hunter. You will receive the weapon as a reward for completing the final step of his questline, which is to defeat Eleonora, Violet Bloody Finger, at the Second Church of Marika.
