#2. Best Faith Build & Weapons in Elden Ring 1.09.1 - Blasphemous Blade

Then we're going to go into the blasphemous blade build which ash of war scales mainly off of faith. We all know how powerful the blasphemous blade is, the blasphemous blade is probably the best single weapon in Elden Ring in its entirety simply for the fact that even without buffs and whatnot, it's just so easy to use, it heals you upon its Ash of War and it does immense fire damage, an insane amount of fire damage to boot, it really is something that is just quite good all around.

#3. Elden Ring 1.09.1 Best Weapon for Faith Build 2023 - Magma Blades

The next is the magma blade build and this is a really great melee faith build for Elden Ring. The Ash of War scales primarily off your faith stat, with a little bit of strength if you're going for the jump attacks, you're going to need some strength investment or a decent amount of it. But if you're using the ash of war, you can rely mainly on faith for it since it gets a lot of its damage from your faith stat. This isn't like the Blasphemous blade as it's not as simple for the ash of war itself, it's not 100% faith, it's around 80, 20 or 70, 30 faith to strength, so it does include some level of strength investment although we do have 23 strength anyway. But you're able to make use of its ash of war and get a lot of damage out of it, simply for having high faith since the ash of war leans towards faith.

What Class is Best for Faith Build Elden Ring?

• Cleric: The Cleric class is a classic choice for a Faith build in FromSoftware games, and it's likely that it will be a viable option in Elden Ring as well. Clerics are typically equipped with both a mace and a talisman, allowing them to deal physical damage with their weapon and cast miracles to heal allies, deal damage to enemies, and provide various buffs and debuffs.

• Paladin: Paladins are another popular choice for a Faith build, as they are able to wield powerful weapons and armor while also casting miracles. In Elden Ring, it's possible that the Paladin class will have access to unique abilities or equipment that make them particularly effective with a Faith build.

• Arcanist: While the Arcanist class may not seem like an obvious choice for a Faith build, it's possible that Elden Ring will introduce new mechanics or abilities that make it a viable option. For example, the Arcanist may be able to cast spells that require high Faith and Intelligence stats, or they may be able to use Faith-based spells to augment their spellcasting abilities.
