Elden Ring has a wide variety of weapons, ranging from classic greatswords and katanas to fast claws, whips, and more. Like in Souls games, some weapons come with innate status build-ups, which easily make them top-tier weapons. Almost all of Elden Ring’s best weapons have some type of status build-up. For instance, Rivers of Blood’s skill rapidly induces Blood Loss, while the Moonlight Greatsword excels in high Frost build-up, and so forth.
