Elden Ring boasts around 30 different weapon categories, each with a variety of weapon options equipped with strong skills and novel movesets. Each weapon class has anywhere between four to 21 weapons with various stat scalings, allowing players to form many kinds of builds. If that’s not enough, FromSoft has also added what blades to let you change a weapon’s affinity and scaling to suit your stats. More or less all affinities are quite strong, but Occult affinity usually falls short as a result of being overshadowed by Blood and Poison affinities.
