Use our Elden Ring Build Calculator above to input your desired stats. The calculator will recommend optimal stat distribution based on your preferred playstyle and weapon choices. Generally, you should focus on one or two primary damage stats (Strength, Dexterity, Intelligence, or Faith) while maintaining enough Endurance for equipment load and Vigor for survivability.
Strength has two soft caps in Elden Ring: at 55 and 80. The first soft cap at 55 provides the best returns per level invested. After 55, returns diminish significantly until the second soft cap at 80, after which additional points provide minimal benefits. Most strength builds should aim for 55-60 strength for optimal damage.
Endurance increases both your maximum stamina and equipment load. Each point increases stamina by 1-2 points and equipment load by 1 point. Maintaining a medium equipment load (below 70% of maximum) is crucial for effective dodging. Our calculator helps you balance endurance with other stats for your build.
For beginners, we recommend a Strength or Quality build (balanced Strength and Dexterity). Start with the Vagabond class, focus on Vigor (health) first, then Strength and Endurance. Use straightforward weapons like the Longsword or Greatsword. Our calculator includes beginner templates to help you get started.
Yes, you can respec your character in Elden Ring after defeating Rennala, Queen of the Full Moon. You'll need a Larval Tear for each respec. Our build calculator is perfect for planning your new build before spending your Larval Tear to ensure you get the stat allocation right.
Weapons have scaling grades from E (worst) to S (best) for different stats. A weapon with B scaling in Strength will benefit more from Strength investment than one with D scaling. Our calculator recommends weapons based on your stat distribution to maximize damage output.
