Overview
Daniel creates and tests a heavy strength build for Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree centered on a two-handed Colossal Greatsword, Omen armor for high poise, and physical damage.
The build allocates stats toward 99 Strength, substantial Dexterity, and high Vigor while keeping Intelligence, Faith, and Mind low, utilizing Royal Knight's Resolve or Giant Hunt paired with tailored talismans like Shard of Alexander, Axe Talisman, and Bull-Goat's Talisman.
