The Dragon Knight is a flavorful and high-damage way to take down The Lands Between, but it requires some late-game grinding. So, let's spread our wings. Best stats for Dragon Knights in Elden Ring The Dragon Knight in\u00a0Elden Ring\u00a0primarily utilizes\u00a0Dragon Communion\u00a0Incantations\u00a0to deal\u00a0a lot of\u00a0damage over time. However, it should have enough physical stats to wield potent weapons, like Colossal Swords. Begin play as a Wretch because you want all stats except Intelligence. The build below is at level 150. Vigor: 50 Mind: 25 Endurance: 26 Strength: 19 Dexterity: 11 Intelligence: 10 Faith: 28 Arcane: 60 These stats are all over the place compared to most builds, but they have a purpose. An Arcane of\u00a060\u00a0gives you good scaling with the Dragon Communion Seal, a\u00a0powerful\u00a0spellcasting implement for boosting Dragon Communion Incantations. A Dragon Knight wants to have the minimum Faith for casting these spells\u2014and sadly, the cheapest is Greyoll's Roar at 28. A Vigor of 50 is for eating hits, which is\u00a0great\u00a0for late-game\u00a0Elden Ring. An Endurance of 26 is for better armor\u2014What good is a knight if they can't wear good equipment? At 26, you need some Talismans to wear heavy armor\u2014a sacrifice we're willing to make. A\u00a0Mind of 25 grants 147\u00a0FP, which is okay.\u00a0You can cast a few Breaths before recharging,\u00a0depending on how long you can cast during fights. Your physical stats can change drastically, depending on the build. At 19 Strength and 11 Dexterity, you can barely heft an Occult\u00a0Zweihander\u00a0and use a\u00a0Brass Shield\u00a0to protect yourself. Best weapons and spells for Dragon Knights in Elden Ring The weapon of choice for a Dragon Knight in\u00a0Elden Ring\u00a0is an\u00a0Occult Zweihander and Brass Shield for melee and a Dragon Communion Seal for casting.\u00a0For spells, important options include Agheel's Flame, Borealis's Mist, Ekzykes's Decay, Greyoll's Roar, and Theodorix's Magma. The most important part of your weapon is the Occult Affinity. We choose Zweihander for its impressive range and relatively low stat requirement. Your choice of weapon should match your playstyle since the Dragon Knight's setup should be one you're comfortable matching foes with. However, try to choose a\u00a0weapon\u00a0you can buff with Incantations\u2014boss weapons, weapons with enchanted damage already applied, and some Affinities prevent you from buffing with spells like Vyke's Dragonbolt. In addition to the Dragon Incantations you get from Dragon Communion Churches, look for buffing spells and healing magic. The previously mentioned Vyke's Dragonbolt can help damage enemies, but Incantations like Bestial Vitality and Flame, Grant Me Strength further cement your boss fight game. Best armor for Dragon Knights in Elden Ring While\u00a0armor\u00a0in\u00a0Elden Ring\u00a0is mostly for looks, you might want the\u00a0Malformed Dragon Armor\u00a0for flavor purposes. This armor\u00a0is dropped\u00a0by the Draconic Tree Sentinel guarding Malikath in Crumbling Farum Azula. However, replacing the helm with something like the Albinauric Mask for extra Arcane or a Faith-increasing helm like the Haligtree Knight Helm can help you be more flexible with stats. Best Talismans for Dragon Knights in Elden Ring Unfortunately, almost all Talismans for Dragon Knights are dedicated to defensive stats, equip load, and a tiny bit of damage. Roar Medallion: Perhaps the most important part of a Dragon Breath build, the Roar Medallion boosts damage by 10 percent for all Breath Dragon Incantations. Get it from the bottom of Limgrave Tunnels. Erdtree's Favor +2: Largely necessary for its tiny boost to Equip\u00a0Load, the Erdtree's Favor +2 is still a solid Talisman for its Health and Stamina bumps. Earn it from the trail to the east of the Ashen Capital. Great-Jar's Arsenal: If\u00a0you want to wear heavy armor, this is a necessary evil.\u00a020 percent Equip Load\u00a0is no joke. Get this once you complete the Trial of the Great-Jar. Scorpion Charm: This should be a cycling array of the Scorpion Charms based on the boss you fight. For example, if you're fighting Malenia, you might want to equip the Fire Scorpion Charm to burn through her health. If you don't want to wear heavy armor like the Malformed Dragon Set, the Lord of Rot's Exultation is a good replacement. Just make sure you use Ekzykes's Decay fairly often during fights.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Elden-Ring-Greyoll-Roar-in-Action.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1241390"}],"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=1241390"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1241390\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1243648,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1241390\/revisions\/1243648"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1242394"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1241390"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1241390"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1241390"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1241390"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1241390"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1241390"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1241390"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

The Dragon Knight is a flavorful and high-damage way to take down The Lands Between, but it requires some late-game grinding. So, let's spread our wings. Best stats for Dragon Knights in Elden Ring The Dragon Knight in\u00a0Elden Ring\u00a0primarily utilizes\u00a0Dragon Communion\u00a0Incantations\u00a0to deal\u00a0a lot of\u00a0damage over time. However, it should have enough physical stats to wield potent weapons, like Colossal Swords. Begin play as a Wretch because you want all stats except Intelligence. The build below is at level 150. Vigor: 50 Mind: 25 Endurance: 26 Strength: 19 Dexterity: 11 Intelligence: 10 Faith: 28 Arcane: 60 These stats are all over the place compared to most builds, but they have a purpose. An Arcane of\u00a060\u00a0gives you good scaling with the Dragon Communion Seal, a\u00a0powerful\u00a0spellcasting implement for boosting Dragon Communion Incantations. A Dragon Knight wants to have the minimum Faith for casting these spells\u2014and sadly, the cheapest is Greyoll's Roar at 28. A Vigor of 50 is for eating hits, which is\u00a0great\u00a0for late-game\u00a0Elden Ring. An Endurance of 26 is for better armor\u2014What good is a knight if they can't wear good equipment? At 26, you need some Talismans to wear heavy armor\u2014a sacrifice we're willing to make. A\u00a0Mind of 25 grants 147\u00a0FP, which is okay.\u00a0You can cast a few Breaths before recharging,\u00a0depending on how long you can cast during fights. Your physical stats can change drastically, depending on the build. At 19 Strength and 11 Dexterity, you can barely heft an Occult\u00a0Zweihander\u00a0and use a\u00a0Brass Shield\u00a0to protect yourself. Best weapons and spells for Dragon Knights in Elden Ring The weapon of choice for a Dragon Knight in\u00a0Elden Ring\u00a0is an\u00a0Occult Zweihander and Brass Shield for melee and a Dragon Communion Seal for casting.\u00a0For spells, important options include Agheel's Flame, Borealis's Mist, Ekzykes's Decay, Greyoll's Roar, and Theodorix's Magma. The most important part of your weapon is the Occult Affinity. We choose Zweihander for its impressive range and relatively low stat requirement. Your choice of weapon should match your playstyle since the Dragon Knight's setup should be one you're comfortable matching foes with. However, try to choose a\u00a0weapon\u00a0you can buff with Incantations\u2014boss weapons, weapons with enchanted damage already applied, and some Affinities prevent you from buffing with spells like Vyke's Dragonbolt. In addition to the Dragon Incantations you get from Dragon Communion Churches, look for buffing spells and healing magic. The previously mentioned Vyke's Dragonbolt can help damage enemies, but Incantations like Bestial Vitality and Flame, Grant Me Strength further cement your boss fight game. Best armor for Dragon Knights in Elden Ring While\u00a0armor\u00a0in\u00a0Elden Ring\u00a0is mostly for looks, you might want the\u00a0Malformed Dragon Armor\u00a0for flavor purposes. This armor\u00a0is dropped\u00a0by the Draconic Tree Sentinel guarding Malikath in Crumbling Farum Azula. However, replacing the helm with something like the Albinauric Mask for extra Arcane or a Faith-increasing helm like the Haligtree Knight Helm can help you be more flexible with stats. Best Talismans for Dragon Knights in Elden Ring Unfortunately, almost all Talismans for Dragon Knights are dedicated to defensive stats, equip load, and a tiny bit of damage. Roar Medallion: Perhaps the most important part of a Dragon Breath build, the Roar Medallion boosts damage by 10 percent for all Breath Dragon Incantations. Get it from the bottom of Limgrave Tunnels. Erdtree's Favor +2: Largely necessary for its tiny boost to Equip\u00a0Load, the Erdtree's Favor +2 is still a solid Talisman for its Health and Stamina bumps. Earn it from the trail to the east of the Ashen Capital. Great-Jar's Arsenal: If\u00a0you want to wear heavy armor, this is a necessary evil.\u00a020 percent Equip Load\u00a0is no joke. Get this once you complete the Trial of the Great-Jar. Scorpion Charm: This should be a cycling array of the Scorpion Charms based on the boss you fight. For example, if you're fighting Malenia, you might want to equip the Fire Scorpion Charm to burn through her health. If you don't want to wear heavy armor like the Malformed Dragon Set, the Lord of Rot's Exultation is a good replacement. Just make sure you use Ekzykes's Decay fairly often during fights.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Elden-Ring-Greyoll-Roar-in-Action.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1241390"}],"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=1241390"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1241390\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1243648,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1241390\/revisions\/1243648"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1242394"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1241390"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1241390"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1241390"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1241390"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1241390"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1241390"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1241390"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
