Status Effects and Elemental Damage: Enhance Your Arsenal

Mastering status effects and elemental damage in Elden Ring can greatly increase your combat effectiveness, allowing you to exploit enemy weaknesses to deal massive damage. Here's how to make the most of these mechanics:

1. Status Effects

Status effects deal damage over time, inflict debilitating effects, or Elden Ring Items trigger bursts of damage when they complete a buildup. They vary with your weapon, attributes, and sometimes enemy resistance.

Bleed (Hemorrhage)

Effect: Deal a percentage of an enemy's maximum health as damage when a buildup completes.

Weapons: Uchikata, River of Blood, Reduvia, and Morningstar.

Scaling: Arcane attributes increase bleed buildup.

Best Against: High-health enemies and cheap Elden Ring Items bosses without bleed immunity.
