Best Build for Fire Giant Solo

Build Recommendation Guide • Elden Ring

The Fire Giant has over 43,000 HP and rolls away constantly, making him one of the most tedious bosses without the right build. Bleed is the key — percentage-based damage is the most efficient way to cut through his massive HP pool.

Recommended Builds

#1: Rivers of Blood

Rivers of Blood S-Tier Dexterity/Arcane

Bleed procs deal percentage HP damage, making them the best way to handle the Fire Giant's 43,000+ HP.

Why it works: Each bleed proc deals roughly 7-10% of the Fire Giant's max HP. With Corpse Piler hitting his legs easily, you can proc hemorrhage every 2-3 skill uses for massive damage chunks.

#2: Dual Katana

Dual Katana A-Tier Dexterity

Powerstanced blood katanas proc bleed even faster than Rivers of Blood for rapid Fire Giant damage.

Why it works: L1 powerstance attacks hit twice per input. With blood affinity and Seppuku, you can proc bleed on the Fire Giant in 2-3 L1 combos, dealing devastating percentage damage.

#3: Frost Mage

Frost Mage C-Tier Intelligence

Frost procs chunk his HP and reduce absorption. Ranged frost sorceries hit him even when he rolls away.

Why it works: Adula's Moonblade and Glintstone Icecrag can reach the Fire Giant's legs from safer distances. The frost proc does a flat HP chunk plus reduces his absorption for your follow-up damage.
