When it comes to status effects in Elden Ring, it is no surprise that Scarlet Rot is the most powerful and broken effect. Sure, Blood Loss is also tremendously strong, but it requires you to repeatedly build the Bleed status and proc it by constantly hitting enemies. However, Scarlet Rot needs to be inflicted only once or twice (or three times if you are unlucky), and it will start chipping away at the health of enemies and trivialize the fights.
