TOP 9 Build - Ancient Dragon Lightning Strike

Ancient Dragon's Lightning Strike is the commodizer of Faith builds, this is Faith's most potent incantation with the highest damage cap, you can one-shot a lot of the bosses in the game with added Buffs and this is one that can Crush larger bosses fairly easily, be sure to be close and fully charged when casting as it naturally does more damage when charged, but be aware that since launch they've passed the Godfrey Icon out of this build as it's now better to use Flock's Canvas Talisman for this build.

TOP 8 Build - Marais Executioner Sword

Though with just Golden Vow and Flame, Grant Me Strength you can take down a lot of the bosses in the game, but just a couple uses of its Ash of War it builds up a ton of successive attack damage and dischargeable and boosted by the Godfrey icon, and interestingly enough this is the boss that you have to fight to get the Godfrey Icon which is a really good Talisman.

TOP 7 Build - Death’s Poker

Death's poker has an extremely powerful magic Ash of war that builds up Frost damage fast, this weapon can do a lot of damage to the majority of bosses in the game, and here we've chosen to take on Placidusax, even with solid resistances, he has death poker can still hit for five to seven thousand damage on the ash of war that leaves the trail with just a few Buffs, this is an incredible weapon and easily is one of the most devastating in terms of pure magic damage and the frost buildup you get from it, pick this weapon up if you're a mage or battle mage as you can build around it to make a powerful character that can cruise through most bosses with ease.

TOP 6 Build - Comet Azur / Power Mage

One of the most powerful spells you can use since launch, not much has changed in the world of commodity zero as it can still Crush bosses that are big or slow moving, and it could Stack Up damage fast, the spell doesn't need a ton of Buffs as just using Terra Magica, the jellyfish shield and maybe golden Vow Ash of War incantation will be plenty for this build.

TOP 5 Build - Mohgwyn’s Sacred Spear

One of the best bleed options in Elden Ring, you can easily make an overpowered bleed build using this spear as you'll build up bleed fast while also doing massive fire damage if you're looking to make a bleed build that can wreak havoc at a mid-range movement, sacred spear is one of the best weapons in the game again, it is ridiculous how powerful this webinar is and it's the best part about the weapon as can absolutely destroy bosses.

• -Crazy fire damage and bleed!

• -Good range and can go through walls!

• -Easy to use!

TOP 4 Build - Darkmoon Greatsword

Based on some feedback like Lion's Claw, this is one of the most FB friendly ways to do solid damage at a reasonable range while also being chargeable and be boosted by Terra Magica, the damage cap is good too and the amount of frost is decent up close, however, it does lack Frost buildup at a range, it does stance damage as well the boss is over 30 with each beam so it's a great way to get in posture breaks as a mage build, this is something every Mage should have or at least battle mage if you're looking for that type of style. 

Pros:

• -Low FP cost!

• -Good range!

• -Easy to use and understand!

• -Scales purely off intelligence!

• -Stance damage is solid!

Cons:

• -Not as high a damage cap as death’s poker and some spells.

• -Frost build up on ranged attack isn’t great.
