Elden Ring offers plenty of flashy attacks through unique skills from weapons like the Sacred Relic Sword or Mohgwyns Sacred Spear, as well as spells like Comet Azur and Placidusaxs Ruin. While these are undoubtedly powerful and can help you breeze through many formidable bosses in The Lands Between and Shadow of the Erdtree's Shadow Realm, you dont really need them to beat the game. Time and time again, players have finished Elden Ring with classic builds like the Knight build or the Sword and Shield build.
