Elden Ring 1.14 Arcane Bleed Build in Shadow of the Erdtree DLC

After Patch 1.14, what is the best Elden Ring weapon for a bleed build? Here we are going to introduce a new Elden Ring bleed build that proves to be highly effective against various bosses, including DLC content and the base game with incredible power and versatility.

Elden Ring 1.14 Arcane Bleed Build Guide

This highly effective bleed build for Elden Ring Patch 1.14 utilizes dual occult affinity on Bloodfiend’s Fork to quickly proc bleed on enemies through its fast and repeated attacks. With 99 Arcane and bonuses from talismans like Lord of Blood's Exultation, this build is able to deal immense burst bleed damage through power stanced L2 attacks. It can melt through all the main bosses from the base game and Shadow of the Erdtree DLC with massive critical hits from blood loss, reaching over 57,000 damage in some instances. Radahn has been nerfed, making the fight easier than before. With buffs from Golden Vow, Flame Grant Me Strength, and Blue Dancer Charm, along with substantial Vigor and Endurance, this bleed build remains one of the most potent options for quickly disposing of tough end-game bosses. For enemies immune to bleeding, switch the main weapon to the Mohgwyn's Sacred Spear.

1. Weapons

Go with dual Bloodfiend’s Fork with occult affinity, which offers high DPS, fast bleed buildup, and pierce damage. You can use any seal for casting the buffs and spells when needed. When it comes to Ash of War, Raptor of the Mists is a proper choice to easily dodge certain attacks, especially for Radahn’s fight. For bleed-immune enemies, there is an alternative weapon called Mohgwyn's Sacred Spear, it also scales well with arcane, maintaining high damage output without bleed.

To maximize the damage, you can also use the combination of the Rakshasa set and White Mask.
