Without further ado, let’s get to these 3 fun builds for Elden Ring DLC Shadow Of The Erdtree!
#1 Best Elden Ring DLC Build - Pyromancer Build PvP/Fire Lord Build
The Pyromancer build is so much fun, this build is the go-to method of choosing Millennia, it does have some of the most damaging incantations in the entire game. The main damage source for this build is going to be catch flame, but such an entry-level spell is amazing, it deals so much damage even late game.
The stats spread for a level 138 character which would consider the baseline level with which most people finish the game with and is the latest level which you can use in PvP for level 125 invasions. The passive damage tool is going to be the Flame of the Fell God Incantation which you can cast at the start of the fight, and the ball of fire will slowly drift towards an enemy and explode an impact. This can be chained together with Giantsflame Take Thee, the incantation for a massive burst of damage. The final tool look this build has access to this Burn, O Flame, an incredible tool that you can use if you are in a cheeky mood and if you're having trouble with a certain boss. Melania and any boss that doesn't do attacks that are directed to the ground gets absolutely melted by it. So as for the talismans, Faithful’s Canvas and Flock’s Canvas talismans give an overall 12% damage increase for all incantations. The Fire Scorpion charm gives a 12% damage increase for fire based attacks. And finally Godfrey Icon talisman for the +15% damage for charged spells. For the tear setup, Flame-Shrouding Cracked Tear and the Faith-Knot Crystal Tear. To cast incantations, using the Erdtree Seal and in the the offhand, using the Giantsflame Seal for a passive boost to all of the Giant's Flame incantations.

#2 Most Fun Elden Ring DLC Build to Use - Carian Spellblade
This build revolves around summon swords of all types. A spellcaster who specializes in summoning swords is a really fun build. The most damaging tool that this build has access to is the Carrion Grandeur Ash of War. When fully charged, it does mental amounts of damage to both health and poise, giving you an opportunity to stance break a boss after three hits. To take it a step further, also using a magic Misericorde dagger which deals extra damage when reposting an enemy. For a passive source of damage, using the Glintblade Phalanx Ash of War which also prevents bosses from regaining their poise. Another great tool to use is the Carian Slicer, this thing deals moderate amounts of damage but can be cast very quickly, allowing you to melt bosses. Carian Piercer is a great all-around tool to use for PVP, but it also has its moments in PVE, specifically against Invaders who you can more or less stand lock with this thing. And last is Adula’s Moonblade, it does great damage and it builds up Frostbite with each hit and with each projectile it launches.
For the armor, using the Spellblade armor obtained from the corpse off Sorcerer Roger in the Roundtable hole, each piece of armor gives a +2% to sorceries with an overall 8% boost to this builds damage output. As for the talismans, rocking the Graven-Mass and School talismans which give an overall 12 boost to sorceries, the magic scorpion charm for another 12% damage increase with sorceries. And to counteract the negative side effects of the Magic Scorpion Charm, also using the Dragoncrest Greatshield Talisman for a 17% damage negation bonus.

#3 Best Elden Ring Shadow Of The Erdtree DLC Build - Eochaid's Blade
This is one of those builds that packs quite a punch and is one of the most damaging builds that exist in the game. The Ash of War shreds for enemies and overall this weapon itself deals a decent amount of damage and has a good moveset sharing it with most of the other great swords. The main stats are obviously going to be arcane and strength, with other stats being up to you to decide. Wearing quite a heavy armor set, but if you want you can always choose something lighter and allocate the endurance points elsewhere. The talismans using for this build are the Winged Sword Insignia, Millicent’s Prosthesis gives us the same buff, but also adds 5% extra levels into the dexterity on double of that, which helps with getting the stat requirements for the weapon. The third talisman is the Shard of Alexander which gives a 15% boost to all ashes of war with no downside. And the fourth talisman is Godfrey Icon talisman which gives yet another 15% boost to the Ash of War, but only when it's fully charged. It also gives this boost to fully charged sorceries and incantations which we are not using.

Here are some of the builds players have prepped for the upcoming Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, shared by a Reddit user:
- Assassin SL 205 or so, NG+2: Morgott's Greatsword, Reduvia, Black Bow, Coil Shield, Sleeping Arrows, Darkness, Frenzied Flame Incantations, Silent Approach. Zindril usually prefers to play with reduvia and sleeping arrows/assassinations with this build. Sometimes use Morgott's Greatsword when an enemy is easier to fight with some stagger tho. Haven't tried arcane weapons since they fixed arcane scaling on them all the way back in the first or second balance patch, so looking forward to that.
- Sorcerer/Spellblade SL 145, NG: Moonlight greatsword, saint trina's sword dual wield, rennala's staff, full moon/meteor/carian spellblade sorceries. For this build, using moonlight greatsword for stagger or frost, while the saint trina's swords when fight larger monsters that you can put to sleep. It is one of Zindril's favourite things with this build to put big enemies to sleep, drink endless mana flask, and blast them with astel's meteorite spell.
- Incantation/Melee SL 95, NG: Marika's Hammer, Incant seal, rocking a Radagon build with fundamentalist incantations. One of the harder builds the user played so far since many enemies resist holy quite well.
However, some players think there is going to be an entirely new character for DLC because they suspect the DLC is going to be an overhaul of the overworld along with the introduction of the spirit world.
