Daniel details the Dry Leaf Arts unarmed combat style in Elden Ring, including the unlock process at Morth Ruins, movesets, and build setups.

A burst-damage build focuses on Palm Blast, utilizing fire affinity alongside buffs and talismans such as Flame, Grant Me Strength, Golden Vow, the Flame-Shrouding Cracked Tear, Fire Scorpion Charm, Shard of Alexander, and Godfrey Icon.
