As the name implies, the idea of a bleed build is to inflict as much blood loss damage as possible as quickly as possible. Aside from a handful of enemies and bosses, just about everything in Elden Ring is susceptible to this which makes it very easy to get a lot of bonus damage when engaging otherwise beefy enemies. Many weapons can inflict blood loss, including the samurai starter weapon: the Uchigatana . Some are better at this than others though, so that'll be the first thing to take care of after doing a character re-spec.

Instead of getting Mighty Shot, like the Composite Bow, the Red Branch Shortbow has the Barrage skill. This skill allows a weapon to fire much faster than normal. In general, this skill isn't as desirable as Mighty Shot, although Barrage does have one advantage. A barrage of arrows has a much better chance of inflicting a status ailment on an enemy than a single s

Despite its unique design, melodic sound when firing, and low weight and stat requirements, the Harp Bow is widely considered one of the weakest ranged weapons in Elden Ring . Its poor damage and range are disappointing, especially given how late in the game players can acquire

In a sense, Legacy Dungeons are where players stop procrastinating. In stark contrast to the overworld where players can lick their wounds and farm Runes to get stronger, Legacy Dungeons are where they prove their grinding and exploration's worth. But not all Legacy Dungeons are well-designed or fair challenges. Some are preferable to oth

In a game as massive as Elden Ring, there are any number of ways to build one’s character and engage the many powerful boss enemies that inhabit The Lands Between. For most of the game, one really can’t go wrong with how they develop their character, but that may not be entirely true when it comes time to confront the final few bosses near the end. Unless one possesses truly top-tier skills, this is probably the time to re-spec into a more-focused build capable of using one’s loadout to the fullest. There are many of these to choose from of course, but one that focuses on bleed is probably the most effective for struggling players. So, let’s get into it.

This does more damage per shot than all other crossbows except the Arbalest and Pulley Crossbow, and the latter only does one point of damage more per shot. The Heavy Crossbow is also very stable when used on horseba

It's then topped off with a boss fight that's equally ridiculous as it forces players to summon or resort to specific tactics that invalidate their character build. The saving grace here (no pun intended) is the reward from the boss and the castle's treasu

It doesn't help that Miquella's Haligtree is room after room of death traps where players are funneled into gank fights and narrow pathways.
