What Is A Bleed Build?
Hitting an enemy several timeswith your weapon that inflicts Blood Lossis the linchpin of an Elden Ring Bleed build.
Inflicting Bleed will cause your target to takemassive percentage damage,and they are brieflystaggered.
This will give you a largehealth poolthat willmake it so much easier to deal massive damageas you endure hits.
60 is the hard cap for Vigorand worth aiming for if you might spare the points.
If you are lacking levels, then40 is perfectly acceptable.
Next, you haveArcaneat45,which is around thesoft cap for Bleed build-up.
You could push some extra points into Arcane if you prefer.
However,Dexterity is a better placeto spend those points.
The final major stat to consider isDexterity,a pivotal stat for many Elden Ring Bleed builds.
45 is around the soft cap for Dexterityand will give you themost damage for the least amount of investment.
Everything else has been invested inMind and Enduranceto give you enough resourcesto allocate as you like.
Poise is essential to an Elden Ring bleed build, as it ensures you might continue attacking without interruption.

This weapon buildsBleedfast, deals amazing damage, and has access to the phenomenal katana moveset.
Its standard attacks aremuch fasterthan the Rivers Of Blood - especially when usingrunning attacks.
you’ve got the option to inflict Blood Loss on most enemies ina single running attackwith Eleanoras Poleblade.
TheGodskin PeelerandUchigatanaare both in the same boat in that they arent necessarily effective Bleed weapons on their own.
You will need toinfusethem intoBlood variantsat theBlacksmith, at which point, they come into their own.
To make them even better, you will want to give them bothSeppukuwhich increases yourraw damageandBleed build-up.
If you’re using theGodskin PeelerorUchigatana,consider pairing them with another Twinblade or Katana.
The 20 dex requirement isn’t much, but it might be worth usinga powerful Dexterity buildwith this weapon.
