Have you ever wanted to serve the Formless Mother and become the next Lord of Blood? In that case, this is the build for you! This is a high Arcane/Mind build, so those stats will be prioritized. While this build works towards any level, we recommend leveling to at least 150 before entering the Colosseums.
Starting Class
The Lord of Blood build is based on the Vagabond starting class. So, for those playing other classes, keep in mind that certain stats cannot be reduced below their original number.
What this Build is for
This build aims to maximize blood loss buildup and maintain distance. It’s no surprise that bleed is still breaking Elden Ring in terms of damage numbers. With the Rivers of Blood Katana getting nerfed in the recent update, the Spear of Mohg seemed to be the perfect replacement.

The Build
These are the weapons and items needed for this build:
Weapon + Seal
Mohgwyn’s Sacred Spear- This weapon is obtained after defeating Mohg and exchanging his spirit remembrance. A mighty arcane scaling spear, this weapon uses its ability Bloodboon Ritual to bleed enemies out from a distance.
Dragon Communion Seal- This seal is powerful in arcane builds, allowing us to use the incantations needed for this build.
Incantations
Swarm of Flies, much like in our Bleed Build, will aid us even further in maintaining distance between opponents. Casting it will open up a window for you to use Bloodboon Ritual while the enemy is running away from the flies.
Talismans
Rotation + Strategy
- Start the fight by casting Swarm of Flies twice at a distance.
- Use Bloodboon Ritual and watch their hp melt.
- Keep your distance, you will be vulnerable to close-range attacks from weapons.
Graves
Graves is an avid writer, web designer, and gamer, with more ideas than he could hope to achieve in a lifetime. But, armed with a mug of coffee and an overactive imagination, he'll try. When he isn't working on a creative project, he is painting miniatures, reading cheesy sci-fi novels, or making music.
