Which weapon should you choose for this Lifesteal Hand Grappled on Elden Ring build?
As you can imagine, since this Elden Ring build is called Lifesteal Grappled Hand, we are obviously going to rely on this weapon to do damage. To get it, you will have to trigger the invasion of the Round Table by Ensha in your game.
Once this is done, as with every NPC invasion, you will have to confront it and overcome it. You would have understood it, the Gripped Hand will be one of the rewards you will get once you get rid of it for good.
One of the advantages of this weapon is its special skill which is a little complicated to place, but which, when it hits, allows you to not only do damage to enemies, but also to absorb part of them to fill your own life bar!
For this build, we will also take a second weapon, even if it will not be used in any way to inflict damage. Take a dagger so that it impacts your bulk as little as possible since it will only serve as a support for the ashes of war.
Spells and incantations to choose from
This war ash is in fact an invocation, the “Golden Oath”. Yes, it is the most used incantation in the game, in almost all builds, but here we will clearly lack the faith to cast it. So collect the war ash version of this “Golden Oath” and equip it on the dagger.
In addition to this incantation, the very idea of the build will be what we call sustain, that is to say the ability to manage the damage received, in particular by healing. Exactly, “Bestial Vitality” will be a perfect invocation since it allows you to heal your HP over time.
Finally, since you are playing a weapon that requires you to fight very closely, two incantations will be very useful. The first is “Rejection” which repels enemies and the second “Flame, purify me” which will cure rot and poison if you are infected.
As for the allocation of statistical points, simply put in the 16 points requested to be able to use the Grasping Hand, as well as the incantations that we have just spoken to you about. Your main focus is going to be dexterity to apply maximum damage.
This is why we will advise you to invest at least 50 points in this statistic. Finally, as we've said from the beginning, this Elden Ring Lifesteal Grapple Hand build requires you to constantly be in close combat and you will therefore take hits. Invest at least 40 points in force to have the necessary PV to your survival.
Equipment pieces to choose
As for equipment, there is one item that you will absolutely want since it allows you to boost your dexterity even further, and that is the Okina Mask. Be careful though because it also has the effect of lowering the focus of your character.
As for the different talismans to take on board, here is what we offer: “Spear Talisman” to improve thrusting counterattacks, “Claw Talisman” to improve jumping attacks, “Milicent Prosthesis” to increase dexterity and attack after several successive attacks and “Favor of the World Tree” to increase HP, stamina, and equipment charge.
Finally, regarding the vial of tears, we will advise you to put first the “Gnarled Crystal Tear of Dexterity” which will boost this statistic. Secondly, we advise you the “Purple Crystal Pearl” which restores your HP when they are too low.
The Lifesteal Elden Ring Grapple Hand build, how does it play?
You will have understood, at the start of the fight with this Lifesteal Hand gripping Elden Ring build, you will especially have to buffer yourself, as well as the regeneration of your HP. For this, drink the vial of tears, cast the “Golden Oath” via your dagger and finally the incantation “Bestial Vitality”.
Once this is done, you will be able to begin your damage cycle itself. To do this, start with a jump attack which will allow you to get closer while doing damage, then continue with rapid attacks.
As soon as you can, activate the Grapple Hand ability to not only deal a lot of damage, but also heal yourself. Be careful, she's a little difficult to hit, especially at first. If you are ever against an enemy who plays poison or rot, don't forget to take it off.
To do this, use the invocation “Flame, purify me”. Finally, if ever you see that you are in a bad position and that the enemy is going to kill you, use the incantation “Rejection”. It will push back the enemy and allow you to delay, notably using healing items.
