Summary of all our Elden Ring guides

Which weapon should you choose for this one-shot Mage build on Elden Ring?

Let’s start together to figure out which weapon you should choose for your one-shot build on Elden Ring. If you’ve already played a mage class in Elden Ring, you already know where we’re going. As a matter of fact, There is a kind of consensus among players about which racket is the best in this design.

This is the Lausitz beam rod, which is very often chosen by the latter. The latter, in fact, scales with an S rank in Intelligence, allows you to speed up the casting time and in addition: It has excellent scaling in terms of magical damage.

However, keep in mind that there are some Players who prefer the Azure Staff of Radiance. The latter offers slightly less interesting magic scaling, but remains a very good option if you ever want to get started with that one-shot mage build.

Spells to choose from

Having a good staff is good, but good spells are better! The first thing we will be interested in here is “Magical Domain”. By throwing it, you place a seal on the ground. Any spells you cast on the latter will then be strengthened.

Next comes the main spell of this build, which is the Azure Comet, a huge magical beam that does massive damage as long as it hits the enemy. Another attack spell, the “Stars of Doom” that you received during the Sellen quest and which you can use to track down your enemies.

Finally, you will also try to incorporate a defensive spell into your one-shot mage build. The latter is the “Phalanx of Caria”, which you can purchase at Seluvis and causing magical swords to appear above your head

which attack nearby enemies.

Managing your attribute points in this unique Elden Ring mage build is far from the most complicated thing. Make sure to increase Stamina and Endurance every now and then so that they reach around 40 points each. So that you don’t run out of stamina and PV too much.

Also remember to take a few points into account, around 45, so that you don’t run out of mana, especially with Lusat Staff which consumes quite a bit. Afterward, Spend all remaining points on Intelligence to reach between 70 and 75 points without equipment.

Equipment parts to choose from

The equipment, let’s say a helmet, that you need to restore to greatly increase your intelligence and, inevitably, your damage. This helmet, This is Hierodas’ Shardstone Mask which will greatly increase your intelligence when you wear it.

As talismans, take the “Icon of Godfrey”, which strengthens your spells and charged abilities, the “Talisman of the Magical Scorpion”, which strengthens magical attacks, the “Talisman of the Carved Cluster”, which increases the power of spells by 8%

and the Icon of Radagon, which shortens casting time.

Finally, what will be the tear flask, the first thing you will need is the “magic-veiled cracked tear”, which temporarily increases the power of magical attacks. Then mix it with that Cerulean Secret Tear, which negates all mana costs for 10 seconds.

As is often the case, start by using your tear bottle. From then on, you have 10 seconds without expending mana. Cast the “Magic Domain” at your feet to strengthen your spells. then the “Phalanx of Caria” for defense.

Then use the Azure Comet domain boost to deal major damage to your opponents. Be careful if they are too active, the comet may not be enough. Also, You won’t try to do this to all enemies in the game.

From there, the “Stars of Doom” come into play, which are a very good attack spell, quicker to cast and most importantly which, unlike a comet, does not have to be static. Use them to deal damage, especially by targeting enemy weak points.
