Best Builds for Mohg, Lord of Blood

Location: Mohgwyn Palace Health: 18,389 HP Demigod

Physical Gravity Magic Bleed (ironically)

Fire Bleed (phase 2)

Mohg's Shackle (from Subterranean Shunning-Grounds) stuns him twice in Phase 1
The Purifying Crystal Tear (from Yura's questline) negates his phase transition curse
Without the tear, his Nihil chant deals massive unavoidable damage three times
Phase 2: he spreads Bloodflame everywhere — stay mobile and don't stand in fire
Bleed works in Phase 1 but he becomes more resistant in Phase 2
Use the shackle + crystal tear combo to massively reduce fight difficulty

Mohg's Great Rune 420,000 Runes Remembrance of the Blood Lord

These builds exploit Mohg, Lord of Blood's weaknesses and match the fight's demands.

Moonveil Magic S-Tier Intelligence/Dexterity

Transient Moonlight can punish Mohg's slow swings from safe range. Magic damage is neutral and the stagger helps.

Giant Crusher A-Tier Strength

Physical damage is Mohg's real weakness. Jump attacks stagger him reliably, and the Purifying Tear handles his phase transition.

Rivers of Blood S-Tier Dexterity/Arcane

Bleed works well in Phase 1 (use with shackle for huge damage). Phase 2 requires switching to Corpse Piler's raw damage over bleed.

Pure Sorcery S-Tier Intelligence

Ranged sorceries let you avoid the Bloodflame pools in Phase 2. Rock Sling's poise damage staggers him reliably.

These archetypes struggle in this fight. Consider respeccing if you're stuck.

Frenzied Flame B-Tier Faith/Arcane

Fire damage is resisted, and Mohg's Phase 2 Bloodflame means you're both weak to fire. Not a good matchup.

Poison Antspur Rapier B-Tier Arcane/Dexterity

Status effects work but require staying dangerously close. Mohg's AoE bloodflame makes melee-range status builds risky.
