Introduction

Elden Ring offers an expansive arsenal of weapons, each with unique scaling, damage types, and stat requirements. Choosing the right weapon can make the difference between dominating bosses and struggling through battles.

Our Elden Ring Weapon Calculator helps you:
✅ Compare weapon damage based on your stats
✅ Analyze scaling efficiency (STR, DEX, INT, FTH, ARC)
✅ Optimize for PvE and PvP builds
✅ Plan upgrade paths for maximum effectiveness

Whether you’re a Strength-focused barbarian or a Dexterity-driven samurai, this guide (and calculator) will help you find the best weapon for your playstyle.

Why Use an Elden Ring Weapon Calculator?

Elden Ring’s combat relies heavily on weapon scaling, attack ratings (AR), and stat investments. Without proper optimization, you might waste levels on stats that don’t benefit your weapon.

Key Benefits:

✔ Real-Time Damage Calculation – See how much damage a weapon deals at different upgrade levels.
✔ Stat Optimization – Avoid over-investing in useless stats.
✔ Side-by-Side Comparisons – Test multiple weapons before committing to upgrades.
✔ Google Sheets Integration – Always up-to-date with the latest patch adjustments.

How the Elden Ring Weapon Calculator Works

Our calculator pulls data from Google Sheets (via API), ensuring accurate, real-time updates. Here’s how it functions:

1. Select Your Weapon

• Choose from weapon categories:
  • Greatswords (e.g., Claymore, Starscourge Greatsword)
  • Katanas (e.g., Moonveil, Rivers of Blood)
  • Colossal Swords (e.g., Guts’ Greatsword)
  • Spears & Halberds
  • Magic Staves & Sacred Seals

2. Input Your Stats

• Adjust your character’s attributes:
  • Strength (STR) – Affects heavy weapons
  • Dexterity (DEX) – Boosts katanas, rapiers, bows
  • Intelligence (INT) – Scales magic weapons
  • Faith (FTH) – Powers holy/incantation weapons
  • Arcane (ARC) – Enhances bleed/occult weapons

3. Compare Weapons Side-by-Side

• View Physical, Magic, Fire, Lightning, and Holy damage values.
• Check scaling grades (S, A, B, C, D, E) to see which stats boost damage.
• See critical damage for backstabs and ripostes.

4. Optimize Your Build

• The calculator recommends the best infusion (Heavy, Keen, Magic, etc.).
• Helps decide whether to respec at Rennala.

Best Weapons for Different Builds

Here are some top weapon choices based on stat focus:

🔥 Strength Builds (High STR)

• Weapon: Giant-Crusher
• Best Infusion: Heavy
• Why? Highest Strength scaling, insane stagger potential.

⚡ Dexterity Builds (High DEX)

• Weapon: Hand of Malenia
• Best Infusion: Keen
• Why? Fast attacks with bleed buildup.

🔮 Intelligence Builds (High INT)

• Weapon: Dark Moon Greatsword
• Best Infusion: Magic
• Why? Frostbite + ranged magic attacks.

🙏 Faith Builds (High FTH)

• Weapon: Blasphemous Blade
• Best Infusion: Sacred
• Why? Life-steal weapon skill.

💀 Arcane Builds (High ARC)

• Weapon: Rivers of Blood
• Best Infusion: Occult
• Why? Insane bleed damage.

How to Use the Calculator for PvP

PvP (Invasions, Colosseum) requires different optimizations than PvE. Here’s how to adjust:

1. Prioritize Speed & Poise Damage

• Fast weapons (daggers, rapiers) catch roll-spammers.
• High poise damage (great hammers) breaks hyper-armor.

2. Counter Meta Builds

• Vs. Mage Spammers? Use Carian Retaliation shields.
• Vs. Bleed Builds? Stack Robustness armor.

3. Test Different Infusions

• Fire vs. Lightning? Some players resist certain elements.
• Heavy vs. Keen? Depends on your stat spread.

Weapon Upgrade Optimization

Upgrading weapons to +25 (Normal) or +10 (Somber) is crucial. Our calculator shows:

✔ Damage gains per upgrade level
✔ When scaling improves (e.g., from B to A at +15)
✔ Best stones to farm (e.g., Smithing Stone [7] locations)
