Combat Tips for Elden Ring Runes Success

Elden Ring's combat builds on the deliberate, punishing style of the Soulsborne series but introduces new mechanics like jumping attacks and mounted combat.

Master Dodging and Stamina Management

Timing your rolls and managing your stamina bar is critical. Learn enemy attack patterns and avoid overcommitting to attacks that leave you vulnerable.

Experiment with Builds

The game's flexibility allows for endless customization. Whether you're a magic-wielding sorcerer, a heavy-hitting melee warrior, or a hybrid of the two, tailor your build to your playstyle. Allocate runes to synergistic stats and equip talismans to enhance your strengths.

Upgrade Weapons Early

Don't wait too long to upgrade your weapons. Use Smithing Stones to improve base weapons and explore dungeons for Somber Smithing Stones to enhance special weapons.

Use Elden Ring Items Wisely

Consumables can make or break fights. Stock up on throwing daggers, firebombs, and poison cures, and don't hesitate to use rune arcs to buy Elden Ring Items activate Great Runes for temporary buffs in boss fights.
