As Arcane is the primary stat for inflicting Bleed in Elden Ring, Tarnished adventurers focused on creating the best Arcane build must ensure they maximize their Hemorrhage procs. Keep in mind that bleeding affected by one’s Arcane will only scale if the equipped armament specifically scales from Arcane. In other words, players shouldn’t attempt to allocate Arcane if their weapon is just using an Ash of War with a Bleed effect. The Lands Between offers several unique pieces of equipment that Tarnished can use to create the best Arcane-empowered “Blood God” builds in Elden Ring.

How To Create The Best Arcane Build In Elden Ring

To make a powerful Blood God build that maximizes the Arcane stat in Elden Ring, adventurers should highly consider acquiring the following armaments as their primary weapon: Mohgwyn’s Sacred Spear, Eleonora’s Poleblade, or Rivers of Blood. To fully embrace the inflicting of Bleed, players should also equip the Lord of Blood’s Exultation and the Shard of Alexander Talismans.

The choice of weaponry will mainly depend on the player’s preference and playstyle. In other words, there is no “best Arcane weapon” since each armament will undoubtedly outshine another in specific situations. However, the Talismans mentioned above are a must-have for Blood God builds in Elden Ring. 

Those who wish to further enhance their Arcane build can equip the White Mask, the headpiece of the War Surgeon Set acquired during White Mask Varré’s questline. This mask increases Attack Power by 10% for 20 Seconds when there is blood loss nearby. The Dragon Communion Seal is also an excellent choice for Arcane scaling as it can enhance Blood Incantations such as Swarm of Flies. 

Finally, those who need a few more points in Arcane should consider getting the risk-reward Talisman Marika’s Soreseal. The Carian Filigreed Crest and Primal Glintstone Blade are also excellent skill-related Talismans that can help preserve one’s FP when casting bleed infliction.

Elden Ring is available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
