Elden Ring Best Faith Confessor Build Guide: Skills, Gear, Stats, Incantations

The Confessor has a big early-stage advantage as one of Elden Ring's starting options, but, at any level, the Confessor offers the perfect balance of melee combat and divine magic. He is the best choice for land reclamation.

Introduction

This is a Faith Scaling Build we're going to be investing the majority of your points into faith and scaling your weapons damage and your spell damage off of faith. You've got some crazy spells, some crazy Elden Ring items and some Elden Ring runes. You're going to cover the build first and then after the build you will go over where to get each of these items if you're curious this build excels with dual sights. If you want to super aggro using a shield and a scythe for more methodical play or just spamming out crazy spells, we will have an absolute blast with this build.

The goal of specking your points is you want to have enough Vigor that you don't get one shot , you want to have enough Mind that you can comfortably cast a lot of your spells Endurance, so that you don't run out of stamina on boss openings. Strengthen Dexterity, just enough to get by we don't need Intelligence at all Faith is going to be our main damage scaler.

This increases players’ spell casting speed, so as players just cast one of those fireballs, it helps out a decent amount, especially on longer spells with longer cast times. To play a faith build you'll note that a lot of the times you get called out or punished, when you cast a spell and the spell time is too long with this you can cast lightning spears like silly fast and just kill tons of tons of things. 

The third slot is a flex slot, players can use it for whatever you'd like. On the rest of the gear, players can use the art of war on this, that’s going to give you sacred scaling and that's very important to pick up you can pick it up very early.

We strongly recommend the Godslayer’s Seal. With a faith scaling it is going to allow players to hit ridiculous damage with their spells, and for most dungeon bosses like most world bosses— Dungeon bosses. You can just kite around them and kill them with lightning spear alone, for the main story bosses you can use your scythe more.

Best Incantations

Incantations：

• Crystal Burst

• Rock Blastert 

• Greatblade Phalanx 

• Loretta's Greatbow 

• Carian Piercer 

• Shatterlng Crystal 

• Gravity Well 

• Meteorite

• Assassin's Approach 

• Black Flame

• Black Flame Blade

• Catch Flame

• Dragonfire

• Flame Sling 

• O, Flame 

• Whirl, O Flame 

• Dragonclaw

Use the lightning spear, it's got a really fast cast time, so players don't get caught out. It's got a low FP cost, it's just the best thing you've used now for AOE damage. 

Players can use the Flame of the Fell God, this is a 41- faith required spell to use, but it's so good it seeks out enemies, if enemies walk through the patch of fire or if they get hit or standing in it, they will take constantly fire damage. 

Players can use the Dragonfire, the second viable AOE. It has a surprisingly good range as well as you can move it around and hit a lot of enemies at will.

Players can use the black flame spell. You are boosting God Slayer incantations which the black flame spell is with the seal, you're just going to deal extra damage with it.
