Things change with the Blasphemous Blade, however: It's a frankly fantastic weapon that is well worth building around. Let's go over what makes this weapon tick and what you can do to make it tick better. What is the Blasphemous Blade in Elden Ring? The Blasphemous Blade is a Strength, Dexterity, and Faith Greatsword in Elden Ring. It is obtained from giving the Remembrance of the Blasphemous\u2014your reward for successfully killing Rykard, Lord of Blasphemy\u2014to the Finger Reader Enia at the Roundtable Hold. It is well-known for its Weapon Skill Taker's Flame, which produces a line of fire after a short startup time that deals high damage and restores health to the user. The Blasphemous Blade is stuck with the standard Greatsword moveset for its swings, making the only real pull of the weapon its Weapon Skill. While not exactly fantastic for PvP, it is incredible for clearing dungeons. A high-damage line attack that heals you is great for the tight hallways of areas like Leyndell, Royal Capital, and the Haligtree. Best Blasphemous Blade build stats in Elden Ring For this Blasphemous Blade build, we started as a Samurai. We've also set the baseline to level 150, though the prioritized stats remain the same for any stat total. Vigor: 40 Mind: 20 Endurance: 20 Strength: 32 Dexterity: 40 Intelligence: Nine Faith: 60 Arcane: Nine Your primary damage stat is Faith. The Blasphemous Blade, upon reaching level +10 with a Somber Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone, scales with Faith at a B scaling. The Blade scales with Strength and Dexterity at C Scaling, so we're only going to invest a few points to get those stats to around 40. If you'd prefer, you can instead move some stats from Strength or Dexterity to Vigor. But, try to keep your Strength at 22 and Dexterity at 15 for the weapon's minimum stat requirements. We enjoy our defenses, but a Blasphemous Blade build can naturally sustain thanks to its excellent Weapon Skill. A Vigor of 40 and enough Endurance to wear the heavier end of Light Armor should be enough to keep you living through most boss fights. Your high Faith total is fantastic for using the Erdtree Seal, the best Seal for Incantations at a high Faith total. This sidearm is your go-to for the Blasphemous Blade, letting you buff before fights. However, since the Blasphemous Blade is a unique weapon, it will not be affected by weapon buffs. Best Armor for Blasphemous Blade builds There is no fantastic armor for the Blasphemous Blade set: Wear as much as you'd like. We prefer Medium Armor sets since the upside of the Blasphemous Blade is its health restoration. Being able to take a hit every now and then is a good idea. However, there are a few armor pieces that can slightly buff stats, which might help you boost your damage or reach minimum stat requirements without level investment. They include: Haligtree Knight Helm, which grants a plus-two to Faith with no downside. The Okina Mask, which highly buffs Dexterity by plus-four, but lowers Focus significantly. Omensmirk Mask, which buffs Strength by plus-two. Of these three, we recommend the Knight Helm, since that extra Faith is perfect for adjusting your damage. Best Talismans for Blasphemous Blade builds Blasphemous Blade builds, especially in PvE situations where the weapon shines, focus on using the Weapon Skill and dealing significant damage through it. As a result, we recommend the following Talismans: Shard of Alexander (Alexander Questline): This boosts our Skill damage by a massive 15 percent, allowing us to more effectively one-shot some enemies and gravely injure others. Carian Filigreed Crest (War Counselor Iji Merchant): This reduces the cost of the Blasphemous Blade's skill by 25 percent, to 23. This typically means you can cast one to two extra Taker's Flames per FP bar. Erdtree's Favor +2 (Leyndell, Ashen Capital): A small bump to all resources helps us quite a bit, especially since our Endurance is low. As this is a defensive Talisman, it can be replaced with others as needed, such as the Great-Jar's Arsenal for a large bump to carrying capacity. Dragoncrest Greatshield Talisman (Haligtree): This Talisman is just for safety, reducing damage by around 20 percent. Great for most fights in the game, though should be freely replaced with any item that more specifically counters a given boss.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Elden-Ring-Blasphemous-Blade-Above-Head.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1157760"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2243"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1157760"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1157760\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1159011,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1157760\/revisions\/1159011"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1158083"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1157760"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1157760"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1157760"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1157760"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1157760"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1157760"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1157760"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

Things change with the Blasphemous Blade, however: It's a frankly fantastic weapon that is well worth building around. Let's go over what makes this weapon tick and what you can do to make it tick better. What is the Blasphemous Blade in Elden Ring? The Blasphemous Blade is a Strength, Dexterity, and Faith Greatsword in Elden Ring. It is obtained from giving the Remembrance of the Blasphemous\u2014your reward for successfully killing Rykard, Lord of Blasphemy\u2014to the Finger Reader Enia at the Roundtable Hold. It is well-known for its Weapon Skill Taker's Flame, which produces a line of fire after a short startup time that deals high damage and restores health to the user. The Blasphemous Blade is stuck with the standard Greatsword moveset for its swings, making the only real pull of the weapon its Weapon Skill. While not exactly fantastic for PvP, it is incredible for clearing dungeons. A high-damage line attack that heals you is great for the tight hallways of areas like Leyndell, Royal Capital, and the Haligtree. Best Blasphemous Blade build stats in Elden Ring For this Blasphemous Blade build, we started as a Samurai. We've also set the baseline to level 150, though the prioritized stats remain the same for any stat total. Vigor: 40 Mind: 20 Endurance: 20 Strength: 32 Dexterity: 40 Intelligence: Nine Faith: 60 Arcane: Nine Your primary damage stat is Faith. The Blasphemous Blade, upon reaching level +10 with a Somber Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone, scales with Faith at a B scaling. The Blade scales with Strength and Dexterity at C Scaling, so we're only going to invest a few points to get those stats to around 40. If you'd prefer, you can instead move some stats from Strength or Dexterity to Vigor. But, try to keep your Strength at 22 and Dexterity at 15 for the weapon's minimum stat requirements. We enjoy our defenses, but a Blasphemous Blade build can naturally sustain thanks to its excellent Weapon Skill. A Vigor of 40 and enough Endurance to wear the heavier end of Light Armor should be enough to keep you living through most boss fights. Your high Faith total is fantastic for using the Erdtree Seal, the best Seal for Incantations at a high Faith total. This sidearm is your go-to for the Blasphemous Blade, letting you buff before fights. However, since the Blasphemous Blade is a unique weapon, it will not be affected by weapon buffs. Best Armor for Blasphemous Blade builds There is no fantastic armor for the Blasphemous Blade set: Wear as much as you'd like. We prefer Medium Armor sets since the upside of the Blasphemous Blade is its health restoration. Being able to take a hit every now and then is a good idea. However, there are a few armor pieces that can slightly buff stats, which might help you boost your damage or reach minimum stat requirements without level investment. They include: Haligtree Knight Helm, which grants a plus-two to Faith with no downside. The Okina Mask, which highly buffs Dexterity by plus-four, but lowers Focus significantly. Omensmirk Mask, which buffs Strength by plus-two. Of these three, we recommend the Knight Helm, since that extra Faith is perfect for adjusting your damage. Best Talismans for Blasphemous Blade builds Blasphemous Blade builds, especially in PvE situations where the weapon shines, focus on using the Weapon Skill and dealing significant damage through it. As a result, we recommend the following Talismans: Shard of Alexander (Alexander Questline): This boosts our Skill damage by a massive 15 percent, allowing us to more effectively one-shot some enemies and gravely injure others. Carian Filigreed Crest (War Counselor Iji Merchant): This reduces the cost of the Blasphemous Blade's skill by 25 percent, to 23. This typically means you can cast one to two extra Taker's Flames per FP bar. Erdtree's Favor +2 (Leyndell, Ashen Capital): A small bump to all resources helps us quite a bit, especially since our Endurance is low. As this is a defensive Talisman, it can be replaced with others as needed, such as the Great-Jar's Arsenal for a large bump to carrying capacity. Dragoncrest Greatshield Talisman (Haligtree): This Talisman is just for safety, reducing damage by around 20 percent. Great for most fights in the game, though should be freely replaced with any item that more specifically counters a given boss.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Elden-Ring-Blasphemous-Blade-Above-Head.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1157760"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2243"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1157760"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1157760\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1159011,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1157760\/revisions\/1159011"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1158083"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1157760"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1157760"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1157760"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1157760"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1157760"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1157760"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1157760"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
