Overview
A stealth assassin build for Elden Ring relies on the Darkness incantation to obscure enemy vision and enable repeated backstabs, though it suffers from a brief duration, long casting time, and poor efficacy against bosses and large enemies immune to backstabs.
Damage is optimized using the Misericorde dagger infused with Flame Art and Royal Knight's Resolve, scaling with Faith and stacking Flame, Grant Me Strength, Wondrous Physick, and talismans including Radagon's Soreseal, Dagger Talisman, Scorpion Charm, and Ritual Sword Talisman.
