Elden Ring Best Power Stancing Builds & Weapons PVE Patch 1.09 - Top 5 Best PVE Weapons to Dual Wielding 2023

#5. Elden Ring Frost Twinblade Build Patch 1.09

We are going to have a twinblade frost build, a popular and formidable dual wielding build for Elden Ring PVE patch 1.09, it's for players who enjoy melee combat. It focuses on inflicting frost damage to opponents via the twinblade weapon while also providing mobility and crowd control. This build is going to involve using two Gargoyle’s twinblades but you can only get one per play through, so an alternative would be to use the twinned knight blades which is just going to be very similar another nice strength based Twin Blade, but it's just not going to have as much damage nor as good as a scaling with a cold infusion. As for ash of war options, we're going to have the ice spear in our main hand and chilling mist in the offhand. Our chilling mist is going to add this more frost damage if you go up against a boss that's more resistant. And then we're going to have Iceberg which is a decent projectile option, does decent damage, go relatively far and nice frost build up. But the main part of this build is just going to be able to spam jumping attacks because the twinblade power stance jumping attacks are amazing, have really good range hit, very fast. So we're going to utilize that by going with the Raptor’s Black Feathers chess piece and the claw talisman, because they both do stack and both to improve the jumping attack damage.

The bandits does actually have the most range and the most base damage out of all the other curved swords, it is one of the best weapons to power stance in Elden Ring 2023. So it's still going to be a very top tier option. But we are going to have these flame mod infused with flaming strike put onto them now flaming strike is a very solid weapon skill because it does actually buff your weapon with 90 fire damage for 40 seconds and the attack itself is still very high damaging also.
