Guts Berserk Anime Build (Strength/Vigor) – Elden Ring

Elden Ring is the perfect game for Anime fans. With so much variety and gameplay options, players can roleplay as their favorite anime main character. Everyone wants to be the main character of their story, so why not do it in style? In this PvE build guide, we’ll show you how to put together an iconic anime character as fully functioning builds.

Channel your pain using the Greatsword (Colossal), and play as Guts from the Berserk anime. This is a high-strength build, as both the weapon skill and weapon scale with strength. This build will be tailored towards level 150.

What This Build is For

Strength is the name of the game, with this blade scaling high in strength. The idea is to maximize damage output by upgrading the weapon and stats. This build won’t have incantations, so mind and intelligence won’t be important.

The Build

While you’re free to mix and match as you see fit (and as your current inventory allow), the following weapons and armor are our recommendation for this build:

Weapon + Talismans

• Greatsword (Colossal)
  • This weapon will service this build with its high-strength scaling and the ash of war we’ll be using for this build, Lion’s Claw.

• Shard of Alexander
  • This weapon will increase the damage of our weapon skill by 15%.

• Green Turtle Talisman
  • Stamina is essential for this build, and this talisman is excellent and helping maintain it.

• Carian Filigreed Crest
  • To compensate for our mind stat being lower than usual, equip this talisman. It reduces the FP cost of skills by 25%.

• Dagger Talisman
  • This talisman will be helpful by furthering our damage output. By increasing critical damage by 17%, this talisman will maximize the damage done by this blade.

Armor set

To complete the look, rock the following armor pieces:

• Black Wolf Mask
  • It isn’t the Berserk helm exactly, but it’s close!

• Night’s Cavalry Armor
  • This will be our chest armor

• Night’s Cavalry Gauntlets
  • These will be our arm armor

• Night’s Cavalry Greaves
  • These will be our leg armor

How to Use the Build

Equip the Heavy Greatsword in the right-handed slot. Be very careful when using the Ash of War, as the wind-up time leaves you open to attacks. To minimize the likelihood of bosses and enemies interrupting your attacks, it’s best to position yourself off-center, to the left or the right of the enemy. Delayed attacks from bosses are also a great opening, giving a chance for you to strike at the right time.

Rotation + Strategy

1. Start by keeping your distance from an enemy, no need to rush in.
2. Attempt to get some light attacks in, and wait for your opponent to make a mistake and open up.
3. Use the Lion’s Claw ash of war when the opportunity presents itself, generally right before your opponent misses an attack (but after you’ve already gotten out of the way).
