This is our top 5 current best bleed builds in Elden Ring. We decided to finally do a guide and rank them in order as well. This is part of our recent lists which we hope can be a guide for the best builds on each damage type, as we only have strength left to go. Bleed is really powerful and making this was fun!

No. 5 Elden Ring 1.09.1 Bleed Builds - Claws Build

Claws received a buff on patch 1.09 and are better than ever, here we are using the Venomous Fang in blood to get both poison procs and bleed procs, this allows us to use two talismans that boost our damage by 20, claws are certainly more overpowered than they've ever been and the Venomous Fang in the blood is a solid option.

No. 4 Elden Ring 1.09.1 Bleed Builds - Blood Blade Build

There're two great options here, one of them is the Reduvia which has the ash at no additional HP cost and is solid, however, you're locked behind a dagger only, for our preferred blood blade, we did a build on this recently that's in the description below is the ash of War blood blade, why, because you can put it on a katana or curved sword and use a web weapon of your choosing, throwing it on an occult weapon is a solid Choice as you only have to invest in minimum dexterity and can focus solely on Arcane, we've been really enjoying blood blade and is tied with magwood's sacred spear as our favorite and most fun of the bleed builds we use, the range is a huge bonus and if you get close to the boss you're facing, you'll get additional bleed and contact damage on top of the bleed from blood blade itself, all the footage here is on new game plus 7 as usual and you can melt through bosses with the physical damage of blood blade in the range bleed, if you're looking to have a more fun bass bleed build that has good damage while also having range blood blade is a solid option, seriously, look no further put the ash on a favorite weapon of your choice and enjoy the ride this is one of those builds that's just going to be an enjoyable good time all around and you're going to see with MOG here you can shred with the contact damage the additional bleed and physical damage you'll get.

No. 3 Elden Ring 1.09.1 Bleed Builds - Mohgwyn's Sacred Spear

This weapon is truly the best bleed somber weapon in Elden Ring, it does massive fire and bleed damage and can deplete boss HP in seconds. Bloodboon Ritual is another fun one although it does leave you a standing Target, once you get used to the placement, you can destroy bosses and mass destroy Mobs with the powerful Ash of war that it has, enemies and bosses tend to disappear in the wrath of Mohgwyn's Sacred Spear, this is a weapon that for me is in the top five somber overpowered weapons in the game, in Mohgwyn's Sacred Spear is truly ridiculous, you can also be boosted by the fire tier and the fire scorpion charm as well, so on top of the bleed you get that consistent fire damage, and a lot of the bosses in Elden Ring have zero fire resistance, so Mohgwyn's Sacred Spear can take advantage of that fire the bleed, this is a weapon that's not going to disappoint you, it can carry you through the majority of Elden Ring.

No. 2 Elden Ring 1.09.1 Bleed Builds - Twinblades Build

They're all relatively similar, the gargoyle twin blades tend to hit slightly harder than your regular twin blades, the concept here is simple, you're getting six hits on each jump attack, which allows you to build up lead and on the successive attack hits to shred boss HP, the number of hits you're getting will proc bleed fast while also doing a good amount of DPS, you can easily jump attack your way to Victory with little extra effort required aside from jumping and aiming to get the six hits that you can get each time, this is a powerful way to take down bosses.

No. 1 Elden Ring 1.09.1 Bleed Builds - Curved Swords

This category allows us to get high DPS and bleed procs, while curved swords hit only four times as opposed to six, they hit harder in terms of damage in between procs, at 125 or 150, we love the scavenger curve swords as you only have to invest in Arcane on a cult, this can allow you to get very good DPS without sacrificing much bleed and making it so if you're staying at metal levels you only have to invest in your Arcane stat and then can focus on bigger endurance and concentrate on that stuff as well, once you're at 200, both the Bandit curve source and beast-man curved swords will beat out the Scavengers in terms of DPS and you'll be able to hit 45 Arcane while using dexterity at 60 for Bandits and strength at 60 for basement.
