Top 10 Best Weapons for Faith Builds in Elden Ring

Faith builds in Elden Ring can be quite powerful and offer a unique playstyle. By focusing on the Faith stat, you can harness the strength of various incantations and miracles to deal damage, heal, and support your character.  As a Faith build, you'll want to choose weapons that scale well with Faith or can be infused with Faith-based enhancements. Look for weapons that have innate lightning or holy damage, as these will synergize with your Faith stat. Additionally, consider using weapons that have weapon arts or special abilities that complement your playstyle. Here we've sorted out the top 10 best weapons for setting up the most powerful faith builds in Elden Ring now!

10 - Sacred Relic Sword

Sacred Relic Sword is a faith and dexterity weapon, the Ash of War Waves of Gold will pull from your faith stat and is pure holy damage. It is great against death birds and fantastic for Mob control, this is one you will certainly be using if you're farming levels at Mogan's Palace. This is probably one of the most used Ashes of War in Elden Ring. Weapons for farming you'll ever see it's quite good for bosses too, but keep in mind that Holy becomes harder to use after the Fire Giant. We're going to get into equipment for this Sacred Relic Sword build which will do a lot of holy damage.

9 - Golden Order Greatsword

Makes Golden Order Greatsword a step above the Sacred Relic Sword as both have similar setups, if you're looking to invest in faith primarily, this is another one that's Ash of War will scale all with faith. The Ash of War Establish Order scales only with faith, so pump up your faith for maximum damage to take advantage of one of the coolest-looking Ashes of War on a weapon you'll ever see. Establish Order has the contact explosion and follow-up beam of which the entire animation is cool looking while also being really fun to pull off.

8 - Black Knife

Black Knife isn't the best up-and-close weapon as it's outclassed by many daggers especially when factoring in bleed builds. However, the Ash of War Blade of Death does pure holy damage with percentage damage and scales directly with your faith stat. This is a direct upgrade over the blade of calling due to the percentage damage and how powerful it can be against larger targets, and they generally lose more HP from percentage damage. This is a great faith sidearm needing minimal dexterity investment if you're primarily using the Ash of War - Blade of Death that scales directly with your faith level. Try this one out if you're looking for a good sidearm as a faith build for sure as it's lightweight and worth having as basic basically a pocket missile.

Flasks: Holy-Shrouding Cracked Tear, Faith-knot Crystal Tear

Stats: 60 Vigor, 23 Mind, 26 Endurance, 18 Strength, 24 Dexterity, 7 Intelligence, 70 Faith, 11 Arcane

7 - Ordovis' Greatsword

As a powerful strength and faith option, this weapon gets an A in strength scaling as the Ash of War Ordovis' Vortex scales mainly with strength and weapon AR. This is definitely a secondary Faith weapon, however, you still get a fairly good amount out of your faith stat, the Ash of War does massive Poise damage and is chargeable too. Pick this one up if you want to go through Elden Ring as a powerful Crucible Knight centering your build around strength and faith. We optimize the stats to hit 60 strength while two-handing with 40 faith and its AR is impressive.

Drdovis' Greatsword Faith Build Setup:

Weapons: Ordovis' Greatsowrd+10 (Right Hand), Erdtree Seal+10 (Left Hand)

Talismans: Dragoncrest Greatshield Talisman, Sacred Scorpion Charm, Godfrey Icon, Shard of Alexander

Stats: 60 Vigor, 21 Mind, 30 Endurance, 40 Strength, 15 Dexterity, 9 Intelligence, 40 Faith, 14 Arcane

6 - Marika's Hammer

Marika's Hammer is another strength and faith weapon with impressive posture damage. Once again highlights the most powerful aspect of the hammer - the Ash of War Gold Breaker, this will scale with strength and faith much like the weapons AR, two handing regular Hammer attacks by the way also do good Poise damage, so you can mix that in with the ash of war. That being said, it's one of the easiest ones to spam in the game with great hyper armor solid Poise damage, and an even quicker recovery time. This one's definitely worth a try if you haven't tried Marus Hammer yet.

Weapons: Marika's Hammer+10 (Right Hand), Erdtree Seal+10 (Left Hand)

5 - Sowrd of Night and Flame

Highlighting the faith portion, the unique Ash of War Night-and-Flame Stance has the comet beam and the fire the first scales with intelligence and the latter with faith. The beam is way better at doing more damage and being easier to use in battle, that being said the fire damage is good for bosses weak to fire and also great against mobs. That being said it definitely has a long windup time so be aware of that, but when you use it for mobs or bosses that are weak to fire, you can get massive damage from the faith portion on the sword of Night Flame.

Sword of Night and Flame Faith Build Setup:

Weapons: Sword of Night and Flame+10 (Right Hand), Erdtree Seal+10 (Left Hand)

Armor: Skeletal Mask, Scaled Armor, Scaled Gauntlets, Scaled Greaves

4 - Envoy's Longhorn

Envoy's Longhorn has the beast of an Ash of War Bubble Shower, this scales only with faith and is incredibly destructive against big bosses. This weapon is also incredibly fun to use and does stance damage somehow with bubbles. If you haven't tried this weapon yet as a Faith Build, we cannot recommend it enough. This is absolutely a must try for Faith builds for the amount of fun you'll have with this weapon and for how ridiculously powerful bubbles can be in Elden Ring, if you're ever having a hard time with this boss or any the big dragons you can absolutely shred them with the Envoy's Longhorn.

Envoy's Longhorn Faith Build Setup:

Stats: 60 Vigor, 23 Mind, 26 Endurance, 22 Strength, 15 Dexterity, 40 Intelligence, 75 Faith, 11 Arcane

3 - Magma Blades

Magma Blades have two great parts: awesome fire damage from jump attacks and the Ash of War Magma Shower which scales with strength and faith basically weapon AR more or less. This is a powerful strength and Faith weapon and we built around the ash of war and jump attacks so you can work with both. Keep in mind, these are incredibly hard to farm for having a 1% drop rate in Volcano Manor from the enemies. But they are well worth it because that all being said at the end of the day they're an incredibly powerful strength and faith option.

Magma Blades Faith Build Setup:

Weapons: Magma Blades+10 (Right Hand), Dragon Communion Seal+10 (Left Hand), Magma Blades+10 (Right Hand)

2 - Godslayer's Greatsword

The Ash of War of Godslayer's Greatsword - the Queen's Black Flame scales mainly with weapon AR which is dexterity and faith, one issue with the ash is it has a poor Dodge window out of the final animation. We wouldn't go on to Elden Beast until in the next try because we wanted to highlight the power of the Ash of War. When it hits, it hits like an absolute truck doing fire and percentage damage, however, it can be hard to pull off. After not using this weapon for a while, we realized how difficult this one is to use with virtually no dodge window at the end of it. That being said though, the power of the ash can't be ignored which is why it stands at number two. As a greatsword itself, it has a fast moveset but at the cost of a little less damage than some other great swords in the Rune level 150 range, still, this weapon is all awesome and super cool to pull off being an absolute nuke on the Ash of War doing upwards of 35,000 damage.

Godslayer's Greatsword Faith Build Setup:

Weapons: Godslayer's Greatsword+10 (Right Hand), Godslayer's Seal+10 (Left Hand)

Armor: Night's Cavalry Armor Set

Flasks: Flame-Shrouding Cracked Tear, Dexterity-knot Crystal Tear

Stats: 60 Vigor, 23 Mind, 27 Endurance, 16 Strength, 40 Dexterity, 7 Intelligence, 45 Faith, 11 Arcane

1 - Blasphemous Blade

Blasphemous Blade is the most obvious and easy weapon to use on this entire list. Its Ash of War Taker's Flames is one of the most powerful unique ashes of war in the entire game. Forget investing in the strength portion of the weapon if you want easy mode or if you've stuck on any of fire-resistant bosses as all you need is the taker's flames, it's so easy. You can literally walk through the game with this weapon, it's truly that easy, there's not much more to be said about the Blasphemous Blade, it's in another Realm by itself it's as close to a perfect weapon in Elden Ring as you'll ever get. If you're ever struggling with the majority of the bosses in the game, with the Blasphemous Blade setup we have for you here, you can absolutely shred them with the Ash of War while healing back consistently, you're rarely going to need any flash whatsoever because you're going to be healing and doing massive fire damage.
