Carian Sorcery Sword Build - How to build a Carian Knight Shadow of the Erdtree Build (Elden Ring)

Carian Sorcery Sword Build - How to build a Carian Knight Shadow of the Erdtree Guide (Elden Ring)
In this Elden Ring Build Guide, I’ll be showing you my Carian Sorcery Sword build. This is a Shadow of the Erdtree build that takes place after level 150. If you’ve been looking for a thrusting sword build that deals great stance damage and deals even greater magic damage with Rellana's Twin Moons, then you might want to check this build-out.

This is the EXACT kind of build I was looking to try, getting to effectively equip three weapons at once is awesome. Scholar’s Shield on this build is genius

[redfatherfigure]

A sword that lets me cast spells? A SPELLSWORD?

I'm sold.

[nicolobraghini]

My first Souls game was DS2 and my first character was a sorcerer that used a rapier. I try to make the same character in every RPG since then.

It's so nice to finally have a weapon that truly matches him like I've always pictured

[LordTyrone]

I'm wholeheartedly thrilled to get the Sorcery Sword AND Carian Knight, both of which I've been asking for!

It is really annoying so many people reject any build ideas if they aren't using super broken weapons, spells, etc. You can play through the game just fine with "underwhelming" damage builds. In fact, just doing the same meta or "big number" builds is just so stale and boring. I've been doing a firespark perfume dex/faith build and it has been fun even if it is more challenging than dual wield hammer strength or cheesy bleed.

[SlothinAintEasy]

I’m glad you’re into effective but thematic builds rather than op one shot builds. This is an rpg after all.

[tonydeluna]

The guides have been phenomenal Fextra! Keep at it

[wrextheblind]

lol that head bonk from
The tree sentinel made me giggle a bit 8:35

[nejiefelipe]

Im so glad they buffed this weapon is such a short time, a great option for people that dont really like staffs... i would recomend playing this with the myriam vanish and the microcosm that IMO are the most fun spells of the DLC!!

[Shane_A_M]

I’m really glad they buffed this sword, even if it’s worse than other staffs it at least has use cases now.

[Darkbelisar]

Casting the double moons and slamming down with the sword onto the enemies below…so fantastic!

[knochenonkel]

6:02 The amount of hatred against dogs is absolutely justified!

[kingassasin]

Man, this build is awesome, I love how it embodies Carian "magic+finesse" philosophy

[Oven_Steaks]

Fex, this might be one of the best int builds ive seen yet. Definitely going to give that a shot. I love melee magic hybrid builds.

[JoeGreen-tq]

This is a fantastic build. One other option I would like to throw out for maybe some players who are higher level, Rellanas swords. One handed with a shield the moveset and block counter of the light greatsword is fantastic. The block counter does a conmbo hit with forward momentum. And then at any time you can two hand the swords for the Ash. Or use No Skill and use it any time if you're not a parry type of person.

[corentincarrere]

I just wanted to say this is my favorite intelligence build. I usually don’t like them but this one is very fun to use

[SaltAsh]

Coincidentally I'm rocking a very similar build right now, so here's my advice:
- if you're looking for a slightly different look armourwise, Im using the Carian knight helmet, gloves, and legs with Rellana's armour. Only a slight change, but I personally prefer it
- another look if you're tired of the carian knight style is the spellblade hat with the dryleaf set for a kinda earthy hedge wizard type of vibe. Not my cup of tea personally, but im sure other people might like it!
- an alternative weapon for those who are looking to use a glintstone staff in this build would be a cold or magic infused Milady with the Carian Sovereignty ash of war. Really makes you feel like a proper spellblade. Also the star-lined blade, but I feel like thats straying a bit too far from the carian theme.
- a spell that gets overlooked a little is Ranni's Dark Moon- its damage is good, but the real kicker is that it debuffs the magic resistance of struck enemies. As this build does so much magic damage, id say its vital as a boss fight opener!

Fantastic video, but may I request a video on an alternate build for this? Carian Knight build but with a Scepter and the Carian Thrusting Shield instead. Would love to see your take on that build, Fex.

[kelpia]

I've personally been playing the Carian Sorcery Sword with an off-hand Main-gauche on the cold infusion (which it has excellent scaling with). The Main-gauche + thrusting sword moveset is really fun and interesting and it allows me to be able to cast sorceries and be able to parry without swapping my weapons around. Super fun setup.
