Alright, so I’ve been digging into “Elden Ring” lately, specifically messing around with Arcane weapons. Let me tell you, it’s been a wild ride figuring this stuff out.
First off, I started by just trying to understand what Arcane even is. Seems like it’s all about status effects, you know, like bleed or poison, and some weird magic stuff. So, I grabbed a weapon that scaled with Arcane, I think it was called “Poleblade”. I charged into battle, tried a gap closer into a backstep. Man, that thing stuns enemies like crazy! It’s nuts what you can lock down with that move.
Then, I got curious about other options. Someone mentioned “Blood Flame Blade”, saying it gives you an extra 40 bleed over 2 seconds. I slapped that on a few weapons and holy smokes, it’s way better than just straight-up occult infusion for a lot of them. That 2-second window makes a big difference, believe me. I used it to attack monsters and my damage goes up.
- Started with “Poleblade”, learned that gap closer into backstep is killer.
- Tried “Blood Flame Blade” and it’s amazing for bleed buildup.
- I got lost on trying to find other Arcane weapons in the game.
I tried to look up a list of all Arcane weapons. It said something about adding Arcane scaling to weapons, but I didn’t really get how to do that. And I need to get the DLC.
Then I stumbled upon some legendary weapons. I heard that “Thunderlord” is supposed to be the best, but I couldn’t find it. For other stuff I know about, I’d say “The Swarm” or “Seventh Seraph SAW” are pretty decent. Oh, and I figured out that you can sheathe your weapon by pressing the special attack button. Nice little trick there.
My takeaways?
- Arcane weapons are all about that status effect goodness.
- “Poleblade” and “Blood Flame Blade” are a match made in heaven for bleed builds.
- There are some legendary weapons like “Thunderlord”, which I have yet to find.
- Sheathing is easy – just hit that special attack button.
So yeah, that’s my journey with Arcane weapons in “Elden Ring” so far. It’s been a mix of “aha!” moments and some head-scratching, but definitely fun. I’m still learning, so if you’ve got any tips, hit me up!
