This hybrid caster has the potential to deal a lot of damage from afar and more damage up close. Let's talk about what your endgame Prisoner build might look like. The Prisoner is a\u00a0starting class\u00a0in\u00a0Elden Ring, predisposed towards\u00a0Intelligence and Dexterity.\u00a0We will stick to this build plan but offer enough Strength to use all\u00a0major\u00a0Intelligence-based weaponry in the game.\u00a0This\u00a0leaves us with enough Intelligence to cast the most\u00a0powerful\u00a0magic in\u00a0Elden Ring. For this article, we'll have more general stats so you can use different options and try things out.\u00a0For a more focused version,\u00a0check out our\u00a0Dex\/Int build guide. Best stats for a Prisoner build in Elden Ring The following are our recommended stats for a level 120 build. Leveling up to this point, we recommend prioritizing Intelligence to 30, then Vigor to 40, then Dexterity to 30. Vigor: 40 Mind: 27 Endurance: 11 Strength: 24 Dexterity: 30 Intelligence: 52 Faith: Six Arcane: Nine 40 Vigor sets you at around 1450 health and is when leveling up Vigor more starts to have\u00a0diminishing returns. 52 Intelligence is a bit lower than you'd want for an Astrologer but lets you cast strong magic like Loretta's Mastery and Comet. Investing more into Intelligence can let you cast\u00a0stronger\u00a0magic, though at the cost of your defensive and weapon stats. 30 Dexterity is not the high end of weapons but allows you to use most Intelligence-based weaponry without issue. 24 Strength lets you one-hand almost all Intelligence weapons outside the Colossal options. You can even two-hand the Fallingstar Beast Jaw, leaving you with a single Strength-based Intelligence weapon you can't wield\u2014the Starscourge Greatsword. Still, this is a wide array of options. We prioritize Mind quite a bit for this build. The Prisoner gets a lot of value from casting spells and Weapon Skills, and 27 Mind puts you at a healthy 158 FP. That's enough to cast higher-end spells multiple times without needing a refill.\u00a0Bring Cerulean Tear Flasks if you plan on taking on dungeons with a Prisoner, however. Beyond level 120, spread your level ups between Dexterity and Intelligence. Getting both of those stats to 60 is excellent for capping out your damage. Best weapons and gear for a Prisoner build in Elden Ring You want weapons that\u00a0scale off your fantastic Intelligence and a strong Glintstone Staff\u00a0to make a Prisoner tick.\u00a0For this role,\u00a0the Dark Moon Greatsword, Moonveil Katana, and Carian Glintblade Staff are excellent options. Your melee options tend to be high Intelligence-scaling weaponry. While these aren't common about\u00a0Elden Ring, you can get the Moonveil Katana relatively early. And the Dark Moon Greatsword is a fantastic reward for completing the Ranni questline. Until you reach that point, using Ashes of War like Thops's Barrier can make any generic weapon scale with Intelligence. Your casting implements changes often throughout the game. With an Intelligence of 52, you can't\u00a0quite\u00a0use the\u00a0biggest\u00a0spells in the game. However, the Carian Glintblade Staff buffs most sword-based Sorceries, making it a great way to focus on a specific spell school. The Azur's Glintstone Staff allows quicker casting at a cost to FP, making it decent for\u00a0difficult\u00a0encounters. The Academy Glintstone Staff still provides excellent Spell Scaling for a more general build. Having a few of these staves upgraded is a good idea. Best armor for a Prisoner build in Elden Ring The Prisoner build is\u00a0in a unique position\u00a0to make great use of the Spellblade Armor set. Because you are an Intelligence-based Melee fighter, the Spellblade Armor grants you a small bonus to magic damage done through Weapon Skills.\u00a0The Spellblade's Pointed Hat can be replaced\u00a0with an Intelligence-boosting hat to get to higher levels of Intelligence or a Sorcery Scarab if you want easier spellcasting. The Spellblade set\u00a0is granted\u00a0to you after Rogier's questline. You can readily replace the Spellblade set with slightly\u00a0tougher\u00a0armor, though you might want additional Endurance before making that decision. As for headpieces, the Spellblade's Pointed Hat provides the final two percent damage bonus to weapon skills, which is\u00a0great. However, getting an Intelligence-boosting hat might help you in the long run. The Twinsage Glintstone Crown, for example, offers a great boon to Intelligence at the cost of Health and Stamina. The Sorcery Scarab can offer lower-priced spells at the cost of physical defense.\u00a0There are\u00a0other Intelligence-boosting items without downsides, like the Queen's Crescent Crown,\u00a0that\u00a0are also worth considering. Best spells for a Prisoner build in Elden Ring Because of our choice of staff, the best spells for our build are\u00a0Carian Glintblade Sorceries\u2014Carian Phalanx, Carian Retaliation, Glintblade Phalanx, Greatblade Phalanx, Magic Downpour, and Magic Glintblade.\u00a0Your high Intelligence allows you to use nearly any Sorcery in the game, so be sure to pick\u00a0ones that work best\u00a0for your playstyle. Glintblade Sorceries are\u00a0a great\u00a0choice for magic. They cover\u00a0a wide variety of\u00a0spells without being a terrible gimmick\u2014with solid range, homing attacks, and even an area-of-effect option.\u00a0They shouldn't be your only tools, though,\u00a0since they almost universally have delayed casting.\u00a0Augment your repertoire with classics like Glintstone Pebble and Comet Azur if you lack good range or\u00a0very\u00a0high damage. Using these spells alongside a Wondrous Physick with a Cracked Cerulean Tear can lead to fantastic damage opportunities, albeit\u00a0for a short time. Best Talismans for a Prisoner build in Elden Ring The Talismans that a Prisoner should use range include\u00a0weapon skill buffs, Sorcery buffs, or\/and defensive items to keep your frail butt alive.\u00a0We'll list a handful for you, but the first is a must-use that every Prisoner should place in their build. Magic Scorpion Charm: A 12 percent damage boost to all Magic Damage, at the cost of 10 percent damage taken, is really good. You'll need to work with Preceptor Seluvis to get this, though, so I hope you like puppets. Graven-Mass Talisman: An eight percent boost to all Sorceries is quite helpful for you. It's late-game, stuck in a tower in Consecrated Snowfield, but well-worth the effort. The Graven-School Talisman will work until you get here. Erdtree's Favor +2: A great all-round item for health boosting. Dragoncrest Greatshield Talisman: A basic item, boosting physical defense by 20 percent. Great to counteract your Magic Scorpion Charm. Here are a few additional aggressive Talismans, if you don't get hit as much as we do. Ritual Sword Talisman: This Talisman provides a flat 10 percent bonus to damage dealt with weapons, as long as you're full health. You can get it quite early on in the Altus Plateau, in the Lux Ruins. Shard of Alexander: This questline reward gets you a ton of extra Skill Damage, which can be fun with specific Intelligence-based weaponry like the Moonveil Katana.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Elden-Ring-Prisoner-Sitting.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1197363"}],"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=1197363"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1197363\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1217295,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1197363\/revisions\/1217295"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1217232"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1197363"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1197363"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1197363"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1197363"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1197363"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1197363"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1197363"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
