Elden Ring DLC Best Euporia Twinblade Builds (PvE/PvP) in Shadow of the Erdtree (1.13)

With the recent patch 1.13, Euporia has received significant buffs, making it one of the most powerful weapons in Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree DLC now. In this guide, we'll break down everything you need to know to optimize your Euporia build for maximum damage and efficiency.

Overview of The Changes to Euporia Twinblades in Elden Ring DLC 1.13

As of patch 1.13, the Euporia weapon has seen a remarkable transformation:

• Luster Effect Buff: The luster effect is now much easier to achieve.

• Improved Buff Duration: Buff durations have been increased.

• Holy Damage Increase: Significant increase in holy damage output.

Previously, achieving the first buff required six light attacks or two charged heavy attacks in quick succession, lasting 20 seconds. Achieving the second buff required repeating the process, adding another 20 seconds.

Patch 1.13 Changes:

• First Buff: Now requires only three light attacks or one charged heavy attack, giving +100 holy damage (up from +30) and lasting 30 seconds.

• Second Buff: Requires repeating the first buff process, adding +50 holy damage and extending the duration by an additional 30 seconds.

Understanding how to manage buffs is the key to maximizing Euporia’s potential. So before diving into the top meta Euporia twinblade builds, let's break down how the buff timer of the Euporia's glow works:

Buff Timers

• First Buff Threshold: 30 seconds.

• Second Buff Threshold: 60 seconds.

Attacks and Their Contributions:

• Light Glow Attacks: Worth roughly 13 seconds each.

• Charged Heavy Glow Attacks: Worth roughly 33 seconds each.

To reach the first buff, you need three light attacks or one charged heavy attack. For the second buff, repeat the process, and you can extend the timer by stacking additional attacks.

Power Stance or Dual Wield?

The question of whether power stance is actually good has been coming up frequently. While it may not be considered optimal, it remains highly effective. The main reason it isn't deemed optimal is due to the time required to build up stacks with power stance combos, which can be significantly longer. It might take up to 10 light attacks to activate the buff, and this duration extends even further when performing jumping attacks. Using two Euporia can slightly reduce this time, but the improvement is still marginal. For example, six jumping power stance attacks with the Euporia only triggered the first buff, which isn't particularly efficient. However, a notable advantage of wielding two Euporia is that once one is buffed, it applies the buff to the other, even if it’s not equipped. This allows the buff from the first one to be maintained and utilized later, providing a strategic benefit.

Timer Decay

The buff timer can decay if you miss attacks or wait too long, requiring you to rebuild the stacks.

With that being in mind, let's set up the top 3 best Euporia builds that can one hit any boss and opptents in Shadow of the Erdtree now:
