Elden Ring Sleep Build Guide - How to build a Slumbering Swordstress (NG+ Guide)
In this Elden Ring Build Guide I’ll be showing you my Sword of St. Trina build. This is an NG+ build that takes place after level 150. If you’ve been looking for a Straight Sword build that that specializes in inflicting the Sleep status effect then you might want to check this build-out.

The effort you put in is crazy man every build brings something unique to the table and is really detailed so props.

This is probably my favourite weapon in the game. I really wish sleep was a bigger part of the game. Here's hoping that they add more in the DLC like they did with frost in Dark Souls 3

This is such a great and interesting build! I feel like NG+ builds by far allow for much more freedom and creativity when creating new builds and setups.
A couple of humble suggestions for future builds:
- A "duelant/noble" build featuring a heavy thrusting sword and a shield, ideally medium shield allowing to utilise both guard counters and parrying.
- A Bloodhound Knight Quality cosplay build (single or dual-wielded BHF)
- a Crucible Knight Str/Faith cosplay build utilising their incantations and weapons to the full extent.
Thanks for the great video and please have a nice day!

Having played around with the dual St Trina setup, allow me to offer this; use just one, and use it in your off-hand. Reason being every L1 swing counts as two hits, even if it's animated as a simultaneous attack, and all too often I'd get that sleep status and it would immediately be canceled by the same attack. Having just the one St Trina in your off-hand will guarantee that St Trina will be the last hit of any L1 attack, so while the sleep build up will be slower, it will be much less likely that you cancel the sleep effect before you can capitalize on it. Food for thought, love these build videos!

If you don’t have the 2nd St Trina Sword yet, I like to pair this with a sword with the poison strike or mist ash of war. If you can proc the sleep and it last awhile on certain enemies like the Godskins, the ash of war will proc the poison and their hp will tick while they sleep. You can dispatch other enemies while they sleep and when they wake they have a good chunk of hp already gone. Works with scarlet rot too.

the build you make when you already tried every single build available

Since we are doing NG+ build, I’d love to see a gravity spellsword build with Radahn’s swords.

[richardandrade]

Slumbering Swordstress. That name just sounds so badass. I love your videos so much.

[plumuttatime]

Right now I’m using the Sleep Sword in my first play through on a spell blade setup. Even if it isn’t the most optimized, I’m still having a lot of fun with it 😊

Light load got buffed in the last patch and it feels really good now. Having a light roll is almost like having a Quickstep as your dodge button because of the distance it covers, not to mention sprinting with light load is super fast. You can get out of the way of so many attacks that medium roll would get caught by, for example Malenia or Maliketh's fast triple swipes. I find tanking hits to be unviable because of the high damage in this game and so heavier armor is only really for poising through attacks if you're using a slow weapon or incantation setup.

[millyrockrob]

Exactly the kind of build I requested in the last video :) can’t wait to try it out!

[Alinarotster]

The Velvet Sword of St. Trina and St. Trina's Smile Talisman would make great additions to this build

[JR--]

i’d love to see a build on some of the underused weapon classes like great thrusting swords or flails

[nicolasvillasecaali]

The fashion and the weapon are something i never thought on making a build, really good work making this interesting builds.

[gk]

I honestly thought this was one of the most useless weapons in the game b/c of sleep. Yet you found a way to make it work. You rock.

[Elfosor]

Great video. One weapon that could be of a great help for this build is: Regalia of Eochaid. Basicelly you dual-wielding St trina and Regalia and once you put your enemy to sleep, you screw it with Eochaid dancing blade. The two weapons complement nicely eachother imo: Regalia gives the DPS that St trina is lacking and St Trina is giving the control that Regalia needs.
Plus they do both magical damage, so you can even put Magical buff through talisman and physical flask.

[cptmanifest]

Bro I love that you're still cranking these out.

[meestristan]

Since you don't have any buffs you could put golden vow on miscrocorde for a crit weapon and a way to buff yourself without having faith.

[MaxDekle]

Always appreciate the pure level of detail you go into into making setups that I didn't think could work, work. Any thoughts on a thrusting/great thrusting sword build?

[Sorcerymon]

I love seeing more of these videos come out! Even at around 200 hours of playtime they're still giving me new ideas for what to play and showcasing items that half the time I hadn't thought of or found.
