Best Elden Ring Arcane Weapons

Elden Ring has a ton of spectacular builds that can take you from early game to late game or even last you in segments. Some of them are quite fun to use while others are plain. Out of them all, the Arcane Builds are some of the most fun to use in the game and that’s why early-game players aim for Best Arcane Build Elden Ring has to offer. Don’t worry, here in this guide, we have the Best Elden Ring Arcane Weapons to help you get the most out of your Build and tilt towards Arcane.

When we talk about Build in any Souls-like game, it typically indicates the weapon you are going to use. Each weapon in the Elden Ring has its own pros and cons, so they take you on a different path.

You might need some Runes to get most of the weapons here on our list. If you are wondering, you can Buy Cheap Elden Ring Runes, as well as Items here at MMOPixel.com

Before We Get Started!

There are a few things you need to understand before we jump straight to your Best Arcane Weapons Guide. These are;

There are a total of 8 attributes in the Elden Ring, which means Arcane is one of them. When you go up in this attribute, you will find various different equipment and abilities.
Out of all the signature moves in this attribute, the best one is Bleed which is based on instant damage after building up the Blood Loss effect.
The weapons are divided into Close, Medium, and Far Range.
The best ones when it comes to close range are Eleonora’s Poleblade, Bloody Helice, Rivers of Blood, and Mohgwyn’s Sacred Spear.
The best ones when it comes to the far range are going to be the Albinauric Staff and Serpent Bow.
Not all, but nearly most of the weapons we are going to mention here are going to be dependent on the Arcane stat.

Best Elden Ring Arcane Weapons Listed

Most of the weapons you are going to see here in our list are also included in the category of Best Dexterity Weapons. The reason is that both Dexterity and Arcane are closely tied.

Most of the Bleed Weapons are based on the Arcane and they are also termed as Dexterity Weapons. So, that’s also something to keep in mind here.

Clinging Bone

Clinging Bone Elden Ring Arcane

This is a close-range weapon that is also referred to as a fist in the Elden Ring community. Most of the players use it to break the enemies with shields. Yes, we know it is the weakest weapon in the game, but due to certain things, we have to put it here in our List of Best Arcane Build Elden Ring Weapons.

In the Lower Level of the game or in the early stages, you can get this weapon pretty effortlessly. It is also an exceptional option against enemies that are other humans, not bots.

There is a special Skill known as the Lifesteal Fist. It is the reason we put it here in the Elden Ring Arcane Weapons list. It infuses the punches or attacks with a special energy that takes away the health from the enemies and in return you get it.

Albinauric Staff

It is a Glintstone Staff that is sometimes pointed as the Best Magic Staff in existence. Yes, it is even stronger than the Lusat’s Glintstone Staff, which is always in the top 3 Glintstone Magic Staves.

We are going to the Best Arcane Build here and this weapon scales mainly with the Arcane Attribute, which is a plus point. When you put the Albinauric Staff with the Glintstone Pebble, you will get a boost of 520 damage, which is massive.

You can get the Staff from the Volcano Mano, which is quite close to the Guest Hall Grace.

Regalia of Eochaid

Regalia of Eochaid Elden Ring Arcane Weapon

The previous two were Fists and a Staff, but now the Regalia of Eochaid is a Straight Sword. Out of nearly all the Best Arcane Weapons Elden Ring has to offer, this Straight Sword is quite effortless to use, especially when compared to the Greatsword.

Butter on top, the Regalia of Eochaid goes well with the extra talisman that enhances your damage, specifically those that work on successive hits. When you want to play the game in its PvE mode, fighting bosses and powerful enemies, then you can use this Straight Sword without any worries.

Enemies that are resistant to bleed or other PvP characters that are going around making their build around resistance to Blood Loss are quite afraid of the Eochaid.

There is a powerful special skill known as the Dancing Blade. When you activate it, the weapons will be infused with energy and your character will thrust forward, spinning and dealing multiple hits.

The weapon itself is good on the medium range, but when you use the special skill, we recommend going at a closer range.

How to Get It?

You can get it from the Gaol Cave. Yes, it is annoying, but still, you can do parkour on the cliffs that are found in Marika’s Third Church.

Marais Executioner’s Sword

Well, we finally reached the Marais Executioner's Sword. It is one of the Best Arcane Build Elden Ring has to offer. The weapon has incredible range, specifically known for the horizontal wide combos and the multiple spinning attacks.

Being a Greatsword, when you pick it up, the inventory weight will be 11.5. In contrast to the other Greatswords, it isn’t that heavy, but it isn’t that light either.

The best part of the Marais Executioner's Sword in Elden Ring is its Ash of War, which is the Dancing Blade. It is a channeling activation that goes off in the medium range, attacking the enemies multiple times.

In our recommendation, don’t use the Greatsword in the PvP scenario, specifically when you are going for the Elden Ring Arcane Build instead of any other. But, when it comes to the PvE scenario, you can use it without any tension.

At a good range, you can deal with multiple strikes and get out before the enemy starts hitting you in return. You can put in some spells alongside the Dancing Blade to make an incredible combo.

When you put more points in the Arcane Attribute, the Dancing Blade Ash of War will also become stronger.

You can get the weapon from the Elemer of Briar. It is further found in the Shaded Castle, which isn’t that hard to reach.

Bloody Helice

Some of the players don’t find Bloody Helice as a mesmerizing weapon, worth putting in their arsenal, but that is quite wrong. It is an underrated weapon, but it is nearly in all the Best Arcane Builds in Elden Ring.

The Bloody Helice is a thrusting weapon that is included in the category of heavy. The speed is going to be slow, but the damage is high and the thrust is strong. Instead of being based on Strength, which is common for heavy swords, the weapon is based on Dexterity.

It scales exceptionally with the Arcane. Butter on top, you have good piercing damage here along with Bleed Effect as a passive. You can inflict great damage on enemies with both of these abilities.

There is a unique Ash of War here as well, known as the Dynast Finesse. When you use it, the character will dodge and then do a backstep, then throw a thrust attack. It is quite good in the long-range, meaning you can use the weapon on bosses without indulging yourself in combat.

You can use this Ash of War to win against other Human Players in the Elden Ring. One thing we would recommend is putting up a War Cry on a Katana and using it as your secondary alongside the Bloody Helice.

The reason is that the weapon will get a damage buff and your R2 attack will be changed to give multiple attacks, dealing massive damage. As a result, the enemies will stagger and they can’t do anything to prevent that.

So, that makes the Bloody Helice along with the Katana (War Cry) an exceptional Arcane Build in Elden Ring.

Go to the next room and then proceed from the door, finding the Weapon inside a chest.

Serpent Bow

If you are not satisfied with the Close and Mid ranged weapons for Arcane Build, then you will probably get in love with the Serpent Bow. It is an Arcane Bow that has quite good physical damage, but you can also poison enemies with the attacks as well.

When you pump more points in the Arcane attribute, the damage done with the Serpent Bow will automatically increase. You might require Strength, Dexterity, and Arcane to even use it, but its Mighty Shot makes up for everything here.

The Ash of War known as the Mighty Show is one of the best Bow based skills in the game. You charge and shoot a Mighty Powerful Shot toward the enemy at an extremely long range.

It will not only throw enemies away but also break their Guard and Shield. You need to put something else on secondary, in case things don’t go as planned here.

Dragon Communion Seal

You will find a ton of Seals in Elden Ring, but none of them even come close to the Legendary Dragon Communion Seal. It is one of the best things you can get in case you are more tilted towards the Incantations, dealing damage with Spells, and so on.

If you are looking for the Best Arcane Build based on the Incantations, then it's basically a must to have Dragon Communion Seal with you.

Just as the name suggests, the Dragon Communion Seal has everything to do with the Dragon Spells in the game and that’s why it boosts them, enhancing their potential. Based on your Strength, the Damage of the Incantation increases.

Don’t forget that this is a Seal and not a Melee weapon that you can use. The Sacred Seals are included in the weapon category that enhances the effects of status and boosts the incantations.

The Dragon Communion Seal will enhance some spells like Agheels Flame, Dragonfire, Dragonice, Ekzykes Decay, Borealis Mist, and Dragonmaw. These are some we mentioned, while it enhances others as well. This is the reason we had to put it on our List of Best Elden Ring Arcane Weapons.

Varres Bouquet

The list is going to be empty without mentioning a Hammer, right? Well, the Varres Bouquet is a strange-looking Hammer-like weapon that is shaped like a Rose Bouquet. Might look cute, but it is quite a deadly one.

If you are going for an Arcane Build to last you ages, then the Varres Bouquet is right for you only because of the incredible damage and Arcane Scaling.

When you attack using the Hammer, the enemies will be getting Physical Damage on top of the Bleed Effect Build. You don’t need that much Strength, but you do need a ton of Arcane and Dexterity to wield this weapon.

The Unique Skill of the Varres Bouquet is none other than the Blood Tax that is used as an Ash of War. When using it, the Hammer gets the Blood Affinity, taking away the Health and Blood of the enemy.

Here, you just have to fight with the White-Faced Varre after invading her and you will get a reward in the shape of this spectacular weapon.

Eleonora’s Pole Blade

This weapon is considered One of the Best Arcane, as well as Bleed Weapon in Elden Ring and there is a good reason behind it. First of all, Eleonora’s Pole Blade is a Twin Blade, meaning, it has two sides that change its stance.

You are much more agile with the Pole Blade and it causes devastating Physical, as well as Fire damage on top. We already mentioned that it is the Best Bleed Weapon in the game, meaning you will be dealing Blood Loss to enemies in a blink.

When you start pumping your Arcane Attribute, then Eleonora’s Poleblade will automatically start doing more damage, enhancing its effects as well.

The Weapon Skill here is good, but the weapon itself is much better. When you use the Special Skill, you will be doing multiple attacks at once and then you also do a stronger attack.

Rivers of Blood

Rivers of Blood Best Elden Ring Arcane Weapon

Nearly everyone in Elden Ring knows that Rivers of Blood is a next-level weapon and is considered the Best Weapon to ever exist. Rivers of Blood is a katana that can slash through enemies quickly, dealing vertical shots.

It has exceptional power and agility, meaning you will be dealing Physical damage, as well as Bleed damage quickly here. It also has fire capabilities, if you want to take that route here as well.

Another spectacular thing about the Rivers of Blood is that it is a mid-range weapon on all its attacks. You don’t have to get too close to the enemies in order to attack them, making you stand on the safer side.

Now, coming to the main point which is the Weapon Skill. The Rivers of Blood, when used with the Special Skill, throws multiple slashes of Bleed Effect onwards, dealing massive damage and builds Blood Loss instantaneously.

Ripple Crescent

Ripple Crescent Arcane Build Weapon

Some of the Elden Ring fans know about this weapon while others simply don’t. The Ripple Crescent is a Halberd that has a Crescent on top. Being a Halberd, it has exceptional range and due to it, you don’t even have to come close to the enemies.

You can call Ripple Crescent the Best Elden Ring Arcane Weapon as of now because of its Damage Scaling, Range, Physical Damage, and Spinning Slash Ash of War.

You can take on multiple enemies at once here which makes it useful as well. Apply the Spinning Slash Ash of War and your character will start spinning around, dealing massive damage to anyone who gets near.

When the Spin finishes, you will do a Heavy Blow that deals massive damage as well. Not the style that most players prefer, but in case you are looking to destroy everyone in PvP, as well as PvE play, then there is nothing better than the Ripple Crescent in Elden RIng.

Mohgwyn’s Sacred Spear

Just as the name suggests, this here is a Great Spear that you can use to deal massive damage at a distance. You will be needing a ton of Arcane to even use this weapon, but that doesn’t take away the fact that it is one of the Best Arcane Weapons.

When you pump Arcane, you will be able to enhance the overall Damage of your Spear. After you attack the enemies, it will also deal fire damage, dealing Bleed Effect on the enemies as well.

The Attack Potential is great here and the range is exceptional as well, so there’s nothing to back off from this weapon here as well.

Talking about the Special Skill of Mohgwyn’s Sacred Spear, it does a lethal and violent blow to the enemies, attacking them three times. When it will finish, the enemies will face a Blood Explosion and the enemies will Bleed instantly.

When you are using the Skill, it will put the Bloodflame on the weapon for a short time. All in all, this Sacred Spear is exceptionally well.

Reduvia

Reduvia Elden Ring Arcane Weapon

Unlike any other Arcane Weapon we mentioned here in our list, the Reduvia is an exceptionally strong Dagger. It scales primarily with the Arcane Attribute. In case you love sneaking around and backstabbing enemies, then there is nothing better than Reduvia.

It has exceptional Physical Damage, as well as Bleed Effect that takes the enemies down at close range. Yes, that’s the issue here because you need to engage with the enemies and get too close to them.

The thing that makes up for the Close Range is its spectacular speed. It has a Special Skill that builds the Bleed Effortlessly on enemies, taking them down quickly. When you use the Special Skill it will conjure and throw Blood Blades that cause Bleed Effect on the enemies.

Morgott’s Cursed Sword

One of the Best Curved Greatswords in the game is none other than Morgott’s Greatsword. It has an exceptionally powerful Physical Attack that deals with a ton of Critical Attacks on top.

On top of all this, Morgott’s Cursed Sword will also deal Bleed Effect on the enemies. Considering both Dexterity and Arcane as the Attribute of choice for this Cursed Sword, you are in a good spot here.

When you use the Special Skill, then that character will Dash Onwards, slicing Vertically. Then again, there is a Flame Burst along with the Bleed Effect. All of that deals a ton of damage to the enemies.

The name might not seem like it, but the Ripple Blade is an Axe. Yes, you heard that right… It is an Axe with close range and scales primarily with Arcane. When you start pumping Arcane, it will enhance the damage itself.

When you want to go for a Heavy Arcane Build, then there is nothing better than the Ripple Blade. Yes, you do need a ton of Arcane to use the weapon, but the Weapon Skill is exceptional here.

When you are holding down the button for attack, then Weapon Skill will be activated, swinging the Ripple Blade at the enemies in front. Then, your character will swing the attacks, both normal and strong ones.

These are all violent heavy attacks of the Axe that violate the enemies. Even bosses and PvP characters can’t stand a chance if you succeed in targeting the enemies.
