Are you ready to experience a new Elden Ring build? Here we are with Falx Curved Sword build that will allow you to deal massive multi-hitting damage, shredding bosses in seconds. Not only that, its fast attack animations and versatile gameplay will absolutely dazzle every player who sees it for the first time.

In this guide, we will take a look at the best Weapons, Spells, and Talismans for this build, as well as useful gameplay tips to help you master this build.

Gameplay

This terrifying build is able to overwhelm enemies with its fast movement speed and deal devastating and fierce sword swings. Because of the tremendous damage this build deals per second, targets will die quickly and generally make boss fights incredibly easy.

Stats

For the stats of Falx Curved Sword build, we have assigned 50 points to Vigor, as the user is likely to get hit because of Falx’s long skill animations. As always, if you feel you really need more survivability when adapting to the gameplay of this build, you can always adjust it to 60 points.

Next is Mind, which is assigned 25 points. You can’t abuse Falx’s unique skill, and enemies usually die very quickly, so 25 points is more than enough.

We assigned 25 points to Endurance because we can’t abuse the unique skill, and 25 Endurance is just right for this play style.

Strength, Dexterity, and Faith As the main offensive stats in this build, we assign 75 to Dexterity, 46 to Strength, and 38 to Faith.

Finally, you don’t really need to add any points to Intelligence and Arcane.

Weapons

Next, let’s get to the best weapons for this build.

Main Weapon: Falx Curved Sword

Starting with the chief weapon of the build, Falx we mentioned earlier. This is a Curved Sword type weapon that also comes in pairs. These swords require 12 Strength and 15 Dexterity for the user to properly wield the weapon, with both having D scaling for Strength, and B for Dexterity.

Weapon Skills: Revenger’s Blade

For Falx’s unique skill, Revenger’s Blade, a massive amount of damage can be dealt to a target. Not only does the multi-hitting slash combo have crazy damage multipliers, it can also trigger bleed procs.

If you’ve played Dual Blades in Monster Hunter Series, you’ll find the animations for Revenger’s Blade familiar. Pressing L2 continuously will have the user sprint into a target at high speed, finishing with two heavy hits.

Pressing L2 alone can be a powerful strategy when dealing with fast-moving targets, as it can serve as your move to close the gap while also dealing high damage in the process. If the user stops holding L2, the dash will stop and transition to a swiping attack. You can do this as described above, and it works well even without performing a multi-hit combo finisher.

To counter the finisher, after the swiping attack, you can also press R2 to perform violent multi-hitting sword slashes. Not only that, R2 finisher has an insane damage multiplier and can easily produce bleeding in the middle of the animation. If you learn how to use this finisher properly, enemies will die quickly and bosses will drop like flies.

Secondary Weapon: Spiraltree Seal

Moving on to the secondary weapon of this build, which is Spiraltree Seal, you can cast your critical buffs by equipping it and cast Spiral Incantations later.

Spells

For the suggested spells for this build, the best combination to go for first is Flame Grant me Strength and Golden Vow. Not only do they give you a 20% Physical Attack Boost and Stamina Recovery Buff, but they also increase your overall damage by 15% and add 10% damage negation. This is very helpful for this build.

Blessing of the Erdtree will take the next position as it helps the user recover 12 HP per second for 90 seconds. If you have enough Elden Ring Runes budget, you can also choose to equip Bloodsucking Cracked Tear. Their synergy will greatly slow down your HP loss.

Giant Golden Arc is the last spell in this list that allows us to make viable AOE and range attacks. This spell will help you deal with multiple enemies easily and give you more combat flexibility.

Talismans

Continue to see the best Talismans that you need to focus on.

• Shard of Alexander: This provides a 15% skill damage increase.
• Lord of Blood’s Exultation: Because you will be dealing with frequent bleeding procs in this build. When it is activated, you can easily knock down your target and end the battle.
• Claw Talisman: If the enemy is immune to bleeding procs, it is recommended to replace Lord of Blood’s Exultation with Claw Talisman because you can later choose to use the jumping attack of Curved Sword in succession.
• Millicent’s Prosthesis & Rotten Winged Sword Insignia: Since we are dealing with fast multiple-hitting attacks as the main source of damage in this build, slotting in Millicent’s Prosthesis and Rotten Winged Sword Insignia guarantees that all your attacks are fast and multi-hitting.

Flask Of Wondrous Physick

For its Flask of Wondrous Physick combo, slotting in Thorny Cracked Tear is pointless for this build. As mentioned before, we can also use Bloodsucking Cracked Tear in this build. However, if you think that is too much, Greenburst Crystal Tear is a viable option for faster stamina recovery.

Pros And Cons

Finally, let’s take a look at the pros and cons of Falx Curved Sword build, as well as the challenges you may face and help you overcome them.

Pros

Let’s start with the pros first. The first one is, of course the insane damage output of this build. Even without counting bleed procs, the damage multiplier of Revenger’s Blade is insane. You can easily notice this even when dealing with bleed resistant enemies.

The damage of this build gets even better because of the build’s ability to inflict bleed procs. Your fast normal attacks can easily be upgraded and inflict Hemorrhage Effect on the target. As mentioned before, the fight is over so fast that it almost makes the game easily.

Next, we all know how terrible Dual Curved Sword type setups are at dealing with fast multi-hitting attacks that are easy to launch. So dealing damage while maintaining high mobility in a fight is always a plus for this build.

The fact that Revenger’s Blade can stun enemies during the animation makes this skill even more powerful. So most of the time, humanoid targets can’t do anything with this setup.

The last plus point is its Focus Points efficiency. Since the animation of Revenger’s Blade is long, you can’t use it continuously, but even if you manage to use it continuously, it only takes 15 Focus Points.

Cons

Speaking of cons, the first obvious one that comes to mind is that Revenger’s Blade skill requires a very wide or long opening for the user to perform its full combo. You can notice this quite easily against fast-moving bosses, as you often can’t use it properly.

However, this drawback is easily overlooked, as you can always effectively damage the target with your crazy jumping attacks, or just rely on your Dash Attack.

The second is the lack of variety in this build. Since we usually just focus on maximizing Falx to reach its optimal damage, the data we have available is very small.

Conclusion

Overall, this Falx Curved Sword is a very powerful build that can destroy enemies in a flash. While Revenger’s Blade is a difficult skill to master, it is a satisfying and fun way to punish enemies when you know when and where to use it and manage to use it.

If you are the type of player who likes to easily defeat bosses with violent sword slashes and bleed procs, while maintaining excellent mobility in combat, then this build is for you. However, if you're someone who hates overly powerful builds, you might want to skip this one, as this build can make most bosses in the game trivial.
