Best Build With Minimal Respecs

Build Recommendation Guide • Elden Ring

Larval Tears for respeccing are limited. These builds have a consistent stat priority from level 1 to 150, meaning you never need to waste a Larval Tear adjusting your build.

Recommended Builds

#1: Blasphemous Blade

Blasphemous Blade S-Tier Strength/Faith

Faith is your only priority from level 1 to 150. Early Faith weapons transition directly into Blasphemous Blade.

Why it works: Start Prophet, level Faith and Vigor the entire game. Winged Scythe early, Blasphemous Blade mid-game, same build endgame. Zero respecs needed.

#2: Greatsword

Greatsword B-Tier Strength

Pure Strength from level 1 to 150. Get the weapon early, never look back.

Why it works: Start Hero, level Strength. Get Greatsword from Caelid at level 20-30. Heavy affinity. Never change your stat priority. Done.

#3: Moonveil Magic

Moonveil Magic S-Tier Intelligence/Dexterity

Intelligence is your priority throughout. Astrologer to Moonveil is a straight line.

Why it works: Start Astrologer, level Intelligence. Get Moonveil from Gael Tunnel at level 40. The stat priority never changes — Int first, then Vigor and Mind. Zero respecs.
