There are so many weapons, talismans, armor sets, and other goodies inElden Ringthat it would take alifetimeto explore all the possible combinations. Because of this, it is often overwhelming for players to try to figure out the best builds for maximum efficiency.

Faith, one of the two magic systems in Elden Ring, suffers from this “problem.” There are several ways to build a Faith-based character. Many people enjoy the task of finding the most overpowered synergies they can, but those who don’t, fear not! This guide will go over the best possible builds for all of your pyromaniac needs.
Best Classes For Faith Builds
Theclear winnerhere is the Prophet, with the highest starting Faith level in the game. That’s not to say, though, that other classes aren’t just as viable. In fact, for a few of these builds, it is even beneficial to have a class with a different strong suit.
The only other class with a decent starting Faith level is none other than theConfessor.
The Blasphemous Blade Build
The first thing to note about this build is that it is going to require some seriously high stats. This is due to two things. First, because the Blasphemous Blade is a Greatsword, it demands great strength from the players. In turn, the player must also have enough endurance to actually move around while wielding such a beast.
Secondly, most of the items in the build arefairly difficult to obtain. However, do not let this prevent you from using this setup, as this is one of the singlemost powerful builds in all of Elden Ring.
There is some leniency on which items are actually required for the build, except the blade itself and the listed incantations. Keep in mind that theShard Of Alexanderis only importantif the player is also using the Taker’s Flame, as it directly buffs said Ash of War.
The Ash of Waris going to be areal star of this setup as it possesses a"leech" effect,healing the user as it damages an enemy. Although the sword does phenomenal damage on its own, using the incantation’Flame Grant Me Strength’along with the listed talismans will provide anenormous buff.

The Scythe Of Faith
The Scythe Of Faith build uses what is already one of themost overpowered effects(bleed) in the game andcombines it with holy damage. Pair that up with the massive area of effect from the scythe, and you have a recipe for destruction.
The Black Flame itself is a moredeadly version of the classic Flame Sling spell,while the Black Flame Blade will imbue the scythe with an HP-draining curse. While its effects wear off relatively quickly, the cast time on the incantation is amazingly short.
The Ruler’s Mask and Mausoleum Armor pieces are not required for this build, but they do pair remarkably well! Also, keep in mind that theGodslayer’s seal is the objective best sealfor this setup, as itdirectly buffsany Black Flame spells.

One-Shot Lightning
As the name suggests, this build will effectivelyone-shot most enemiesin the early game. Likewise, it can down even the toughest of bosses in just a few hits! It is going to require a bit more work than the previous two, but the reward is well worth the work.
TheKatanais actually theleast importantaspect of this build, although it is a fantastic suggestion. Similarly, there are no required armor pieces, as the real stars of the show here are the incantations.
Flame of Frenzy is anAOE attackthat increases in power thelonger it is charged up, while Lightning Spear, on the other hand, is a much more accurate incantation. If it isn’t Lightning Spear, Lightning Strike may be themost powerful incantationlisted here, with an absolutely insane AOE damage and a rapid cast rate. Meanwhile, Electrify Armament does exactly what it sounds like and willmake your Katana much more deadly.
Both Talismans will allow you to cast spellsmore rapidlyin far less time, and likewise, both should be equipped. On a final note, be sure to utilize the base Ash of War for the Katana after using electrified armament formassivedamage.
