Builds in Elden Ring are not only about the utilities, damage, power, effectiveness, and so on, rather they are also about fashion. Here in this Best PvP Build Guide, we will be sharing with you the Elden Ring 2024 Ninja Build.
We all love ninjas, with their aesthetic, fashion, and swiftness alongside sleekness. They lurk in the shadows, but when the time arrives to come face-to-face, they are ready to throw everyone around.
It might look relatively easy to have a ninja outfit in Elden Ring, alongside the right set of gear, but it is not that simple. In the Elden Ring, making a ninja is quite hard, as you have to hand-pick the right headpiece, chest piece, gauntlets, and leggings. The swords, daggers, bows, and other things are to be handpicked according to a ninja style. So, without further ado, let’s jump straight to our Elden Ring Ninja Build Guide.
The headpiece is the Nox Monk Hood (Altered). The altercation is done to get rid of all that white coloring on the hood. It gives the main ninja look on the face of your character in Elden Ring.
You can loot the Nox Monk Hood from the two pairs of Nox Monks that are found in the Eternal City north side of the Nokstella, in the Nokstella region.
To alter the outfit, you need to get the Tailoring Tools and the Sewing Needle. To get it, you have to fight the Demi-Human Chief, who is a double boss.
At the Site of Grace, you can use the runes to change the equipment you have. In our case, we already mentioned which things you need to alter.
We went with the Preceptor’s Long Gown (Altered), to also change the aesthetics to ninja here. It is quite long in general, so altering it to make it shorter becomes the right choice.
You can get the Preceptor’s Set when you complete the Ranni’s Side Quest known as the “Seluvis’s Rise at Liurnia of the Lakes”. Or, you can also get it from Seluvis, after the death.
Preceptor’s Gloves are the best pick for a ninja build. You don’t have to alter those, as those already come with a ninja look.
Finally, your pick would be the Preceptor’s Trousers. Same as gloves, they don’t have to be altered to look great.
Now, your Ninja Outfit in Elden Ring is complete. This looks exactly like a ninja and is also incredibly hard to spot during the nighttime.
It has been more than two years since the release of Elden Ring. So, the Ninja Build is around mid to late game. You need to be around levels 160 to 170 to create this build.
A ninja is strong enough to tackle anything thrown at him. Thus, the stats are as follows:
80 Dexterity
60 Vigor
30 Endurance
29 Mind
16 Strength
16 Intelligence
9 Faith
7 Arcane
Every single stat point here is used accordingly and is utilized to make the best Ninja Build in Elden Ring 2024. It is not only limited to the PvE, rather the main point here is to use the build and showcase in PvP, to other players.
We are looking for swiftness to go parallel to how ninjas work. Thus, our main goal is to put most points into dexterity. Also, you need health, so vigor is the second choice.
Moving on, you need Mana and FP, so the next two choices are automatically Endurance and Mind. The rest aren’t used for the build, rather they are used for the gear that you will be holding onto for Ninja Build in Elden Ring.
Same as when talking about stats, a true ninja is based on swiftness and agility. Also, a ninja is strong, so we went with something strong like Hand of Malenia with a +10 upgrade.
This weapon is not only cool, but also practical, as it is agile, swift, and does a ton of damage. You can use the Waterfowl Dance to showcase your skills in true PvP combat with the Ninja Build.
The only problem with the aesthetic of Hand of Malenia is that it is quite long, a bit too long to be precise here. But, there is nothing else that suits a ninja other than Hand of Malenia, so we had to go with it.
It comes with the following stats:
640 Physical Attack Damage
100 Critical damage
12 FP Cost
7 Weight
Has 3 in Strength, and B in Dexterity
Later on in this Elden Ring 2024 Best PvP Build Guide, we are also going to mention Talisman you need to pump those numbers up.
Alongside the Hand of Malenia, you also need the Misericorde upgraded to +25. It is meant for the backstab, as a true ninja lurks in shadows and finishes the foes from behind.
The build also requires a bow for distant combat. You can put any bow of your choice here, as it doesn’t matter. But, that bow should be quick and precise.
Our recommendation for a bow would be the Erdtree Bow for Elden Ring Ninja Build. It shoots at a faster rate than the greatbow and is usable for a swift build like Ninja Build.
Alongside the physical damage, it also deals holy damage to enemies but has a bit lower stat than the greatbow. But, the latter is slower and not usable for Ninja Build.
Furthermore, you can put Sleep Bone Arrows to match the aesthetic and items used for the Ninja Build in Elden Ring.

Rotten Sword Insignia - Enhances the attack power with successive attacks
Shard of Alexander - Enhances attack power of skills
Physic Tear - Gives you more strength for successive attacks
Concealing Veil - When crouching away from foes, it will conceal your character. It is an essential talisman for a ninja, as you have to lurk in shadows
Furled Finger’s Trick Mirror - Will take the appearance of the Host of Fingers. Being a ninja, you can take the appearance of others, to conceal your identity
Assassin’s Gambit - It makes it even more hard to see, even in daylight
Mimic’s Veil - It allows you to hide, taking the shape of an object in plain sight
Sleep Pots - Sleep and ninja both go well together. So, having a build that allows you to lurk as a ninja and make others sleep is a deadly combo
The items and the talisman are pretty clear at this spot. We are going with a Ninja Build in Elden Ring 2024 here. A ninja is based on swiftness and hiding in shadows, waiting for the right opportunity to strike.
Thus, the talisman and items we chose all revolve around concealing your presence and enhancing the attack damage of your upgraded weapons. So that you can work even in PvP, striking those that come in your path.
Now that your Ninja Build is ready, you can start going for some combat. First and foremost, make sure you have everything set here, because Ninjas don’t lose in combat.
Become an invader and start ganking. Look for opportunities for foes who don’t know you are here. When the opportunity comes you can go and backstab them.
On the contrary, you don’t always have to hide in the shadows. You can just go toe to toe with others. Using the special dance attack of Hand of Malenia, you can kill the PvP enemies in one stance.
If there are multiple enemies, you can head back, hide, and take the shape of some object using your mimic veil. When the enemies don’t know where you went, you can use the Malenia Dance on them.
Move around using the concealer, as it is exceptionally hard to see you coming into the shadows. As a plus, when the enemies catch you, you can use the sleep bomb to distract multiple enemies.
Remember, everything is made here to help you use the Malenia Dance attack on the enemies using your Hand of Malenia weapon.
Ninjas are the symbol of calm and precise warriors that lurk in shadows, hard to see because of the dark aesthetics, and unique items up their sleeves. But, when the time comes, they are also masters of hand-to-hand combat. So, our Elden Ring 2024 Ninja Build Guide utilizes the special outfit, items, talisman, and weapons that you can use to take down enemies in PvP combat.
