An Elden Ring player created an unconventional build called The Dentist, using a unique combination of items to dispatch enemies. Elden Ring is brilliant at encouraging players to adopt powerful builds that favor certain attributes, such as Dexterity and Strength. Featuring an assortment of items, the souls-like RPG lets them take on the role of a berserker, an archer, or a samurai in case they want to change their playstyle. Each build in Elden Ring consists of weapons and talismans that provide players with buffs, putting them at an advantage against deadly foes in combat.
As players explore Elden Ring's massive world and defeat terrifying bosses, they will receive items, ranging from weapons to armor, which can be used to create versatile characters. They have the freedom to customize and upgrade these builds in order to prepare for the later stages of Elden Ring, where the level of difficulty increases significantly. Enemies will be more tanky and deal too much damage to kill players in the blink of an eye. One thing to note is that there is no enemy scaling, meaning players can eventually overpower them by leveling up weapons, Spirit Summons, Ashes, and other items.
Elden Ring Player Lets Themselves Be One-Shot on Purpose in PvP
An Elden Ring player intentionally debuffs themselves in the game to become a one-shot target, resulting in a hilarious video that they posted online.
One Elden Ring player known on Reddit as jdude_ shared an unorthodox build called The Dentist, which allows them to carve the skulls of enemies. The core part of this disturbing build is the Rock Blaster, a glintstone sorcery that thrusts weapons into the ground to create a shockwave. It's a drill mechanic that deals an insane amount of damage to a single enemy. In addition to the Rock Blaster, the player wields one of the best one-handed swords in Elden Ring, the Sword of St. Trina, which is a resilient choice for defeating mid-level mobs.
Players who want to immerse themselves in the role of a dentist will also get Mimic's Veil, one of the best consumable tools for invading in Elden Ring's PvP encounters. It allows players to temporarily transform into background objects and sneak up on opponents by spending six focus points. Not to worry, the Mimic's Veil can easily be found inside a chest located in Stormveil Castle's Rampart Tower.
In Elden Ring, there are a handful of builds that offer a straightforward playstyle, including Reaper and Scavenger. These item combinations are fun in their own way, and they can be tailored to players' specific needs. Considering the high level of difficulty in some locations of The Lands Between, players are better off following an OP build for their first playthrough.
