Elden Ring Staff Tier List 2024 (Shadow of Erdtree DLC 1.15 Patch)

Elden Ring offers a plethora of magical staves for players, each with unique attributes and enhancements specific to different types of sorceries. With the Shadow of Erdtree DLC, the roster has expanded further, providing even more options for magic users in the Lands Between. Here's how these staves stack up against each other, from the indispensable S-Tier to the more situational E-Tier choices.

1. Carian Regal Scepter (S-Tier)

The top-tier Carian Regal Scepter offers unparalleled versatility and power, enhancing all types of sorceries. It is the staff of choice for sorcerers who seek to maximize their effectiveness across a wide range of magical disciplines, making it one of the most powerful and adaptable staves available. Its ability to boost both Intelligence scaling and sorcery power makes it invaluable for any serious sorcerer.

2. Lusat’s Glintstone Staff (S-Tier)

Lusat's Glintstone Staff dramatically increases the damage of sorceries at the cost of higher FP consumption. It is perfect for sorcerers who have built their character to have a large FP pool and who wish to maximize their damage output in exchange for more frequent FP replenishment. This staff is often chosen for high-stakes battles where its power can be the difference between victory and defeat.

3. Meteorite Staff (S-Tier)

The Meteorite Staff remains an unparalleled choice for astrologers who specialize in sorcery. Its innate ability to boost the power of gravity-based spells without the usual stat investment makes it a formidable tool. Ideal for those who wish to harness the cosmos' might early in the game, its utility in late-game scenarios is equally impressive, thanks to its consistent damage output.

4. Azur’s Glintstone Staff 

Preferred by users who like casting rapidly, Azur's Glintstone Staff reduces the casting time of sorceries. This makes it invaluable in fast-paced combat where reaction time can be the difference between victory and defeat.

5. Demi-Human Queen’s Staff (A Tier)

This staff is unique as it boosts the effectiveness of sorceries at lower FP costs. It's perfect for prolonged battles or for players who prefer a more conservative approach to FP management.

6. Staff of the Great Beyond (A Tier)

Featuring bonuses to both sorcery and incantation damage, the Staff of the Great Beyond is a hybrid caster's dream. It allows for flexibility in switching between magic types without sacrificing offensive power.

7. Gelmir Glintstone Staff (B Tier)

Ideal for pyromancers, the Gelmir Glintstone Staff boosts fire-based sorceries. It's particularly effective in areas susceptible to fire damage or when facing enemies weak against fire.

8. Prince of Death's Staff (B Tier)

This staff increases the potency of death sorceries. It is tailored for encounters where death magic gives an edge, providing sorcerers with a thematic and powerful tool against life-draining enemies.

9. Carian Glintstone Staff (B Tier)

A solid all-rounder, the Carian Glintstone Staff offers good intelligence scaling and enhances overall sorcery damage. It's a reliable choice for any sorcerer's journey through the Lands Between.

10. Academy Glintstone Staff (C Tier)

Designed for those who progress through the sorcery-rich environments of the academy, the Academy Glintstone Staff offers decent Intelligence scaling and enhances mid-game sorceries. It is particularly useful for players who have begun to specialize their magical abilities but are not yet at the point where more powerful, specialized staves become necessary. Its utility in enhancing a broad array of standard sorceries makes it a versatile tool in the arsenal of growing sorcerers.

11. Albinauric Staff (C Tier)

This staff is unique for its boost to sorceries that manipulate light and darkness. It’s specialized but highly effective in the right hands, providing a niche yet potent choice for specific magical builds.

12. Staff of Loss (C Tier)

While not as powerful in raw damage, the Staff of Loss increases the duration of status effects applied through sorceries. This feature is useful in tactical battles where debuffs can turn the tide in favor of the caster.

13. Crystal Staff (C Tier)

The Crystal Staff enhances crystalline sorceries, making it a niche choice for sorcerers who specialize in these unique spells. Its specialized nature makes it less versatile than other staves, but in the right hands, it can be extraordinarily effective, particularly against enemies weak to crystalline magic.

14. Astrologer's Staff (D Tier)

A jack-of-all-trades staff that provides a decent increase to all forms of magic without excelling in any particular area. A great starter staff for those learning the ropes of sorcery.

15. Glintstone Staff (D Tier)

The Glintstone Staff is a basic option that offers minimal scaling and lacks any special attributes. It's suitable for beginners but is quickly outclassed.

16. Carian Glintblade Staff (D Tier)

Specializing in Glintblade sorceries, the Carian Glintblade Staff is perfect for those who enjoy strategic spellcasting.

17. Digger's Staff (D Tier)

An unusual staff that increases the effectiveness of earth-based sorceries. While not universally applicable, it shines in environments where such spells are devastating.

18. Rotten Crystal Staff (E Tier)

Like the Crystal Staff but adds a rot effect, which is generally less effective than other elemental enhancements.

19. Staff of the Guilty (E Tier)

The Staff of the Guilty is an intriguing choice for players who want to combine sorceries with bleed effects. Its unique ability allows it to synergize with specific bleed-focused builds, offering a creative approach to combat.

20. Maternal Staff (E Tier)

Boosts sorceries that protect and heal, making it a unique choice for supportive sorcerers in cooperative play settings.
