In this Elden Ring Build Guide, we'll show you the Miquellan Knight's Sword build. This is an NG+ build that takes place after level 150 and an evolved version of the Paladin build that takes place after level 150. If you’ve been looking for a Paladin build that can be played throughout the game and into NG+ then you might want to check this build-out.
How To Make This Miquellan Knight's Sword & Strength Faith Build Work
We're going to talk about is the weapon that we're using here, we're using the Miquellan Knight's Sword, and there are a couple reasons for that one we really like the R2 attack on this weapon, it sort of pulls you forward in a slide that can Gap clothes on enemies, a lot of times after you like do like a critical attack on them after you do like a block counter and then critical attack, they'll jump backward, and I find that this R2 is really good at Gap closing that and jump backwards so that they can't get away from you and you can actually slap them right when they get off the ground, and secondly, the ability sacred blade was actually buffed in patch 1.07 and adds more damage now, it's faster, and most importantly, the blade portion of the attack actually does its own damage as well, meaning if you do this point blank on an enemy, you get the damage from the wave and you get the damage from The Sword which allows it to do incredible damage when you're Point Blank, we're also using the Haligtree Crest Greatshield here, it allows you to do block counters more easily, because it's a great show that has very good guard boost when fully upgraded at 79 meaning, you don't take a lot of stamina damage when you block allowing you to keep that stamina for attacking and counter-attacking, it's a really good shield, and it really just looks awesome for a paladin type build, because it kind of gives you that Crusader that Holy Warrior type look, besides these two Elden Ring items we have the Clawmark Seal which allows you to cast incantations with 280 incantations scaling the way we're set up, this isn't terrible, it's not fantastic for New Game Plus, so we don't think you're going to be a primary spellcast or anything like that, but it will allow you to cast spells, you don't need to upgrade it if you don't use any offensive spells, but we do find that some of them like Wrath of Gold are nice periodically to deal with like groups of enemies where or maybe Radagon's Ring of Light where you don't have a lot of AOE with this build, and it's great for large packs of enemies, we obviously also use staple spells like Golden Vow which increases our attack and defense, we use Flame, Grant Me Strength to increase our physical damage, and we have Blessing of the Erdtree to give us heal over time, so these are all really staple Buffs in a paladin type build and we definitely make use of them here.

Perfect Paladin Gameplay
So talking about the strengths of this build a bit, you have super tankiness, you have a great Shield that allows for a very easy block counters and you deal incredible block counter damage, some of the highest block counter damage we've seen on a build particularly if you're using a straight sword, you can buff your damage constantly with sacred blade and it gives you a ranged option if something like hops backward or it's just outside of melee range, you also have a gap closer with your charged R2 that allows you to get back in range or surprise enemies that are going to be aggressive and charge up too, you can start charging this up earlier so that they run into it when they're coming into, you just have a lot of flexibility, you can use spells and Buffs you can buff Cooperative players or you can buff your spirit summons and you can make yourself tankier with golden balance, so there are a lot of things you can do with this build, and it's just a ton of fun to play, we don't think they're the most powerful builds in the game in terms of like outright damage you just burst things down quickly, but the map amount of survivability they have and the amount of fun that you have with block counters and options that you have, always appealed to me, because you're very safe with this sort of build right like you can explore and not know what's around the corner and you can face it with just about something to handle every scenario.
Final Tips for Miquellan Knight's Sword & Strength Faith Build
A couple final tips before we wrap up this guide, if you're using the Flask of Wondrous Physick, you're going to want to use the Holy-Shrouding Cracked Tear, this is going to make your sacred blade hit even harder, it does 100 of holding damage, and any holy damage spells you cast like Wrath of gold or maybe Radagon's Rings of Light or anything like that anything that does holy damage, it's going to benefit, and it does benefit your regular attacks even though only about 35 of your regular attack damage is Holy damaged, but when you buff with sacred blade you deal even more holy damage that becomes about 50, so this becomes even more beneficial when you're buffed with sacred blade, and lastly which great Elden Ring rune to use here, Godrick's Great Rune is a really good choice, you need Vigor with this build, you need mind, you need endurance, you need strength, you need dexterity, you need Faith, that's six of the eight attributes getting five in each of those.
