Elden Ring DLC Build: Greatsword and Curved Greatsword Combo

Hello everyone and welcome to an Elden Ring DLC Build Guide. Today I’m excited to share with you an exciting setup that makes full use of the incredible synergy between a main-hand greatsword and an off-hand curved greatsword. This build is all about combining devastating attacks with clever tactics to catch your opponents off guard. Before we get into the details of the build, if you're looking to level up your character quickly and unlock powerful gear, MMOexp is the go-to resource for acquiring Elden Ring Runes. Whether you're aiming to experiment with new weapons or tackle tougher foes, having a stash of Runes at your disposal will make all the difference in your journey through the Lands Between.

Why This Combo Works

The main draw of this build lies in the Crouch attack, which seamlessly transitions into the offhand Curved Greatsword. When you incorporate the Storm Stomp Ash of War, you can easily roll catch opponents who try to escape your combo—provided they don't roll directly away from you. Recent buffs have also increased the speed of heavy attacks on Colossal swords, making the Storm Stomp follow-up even more effective.

Build Overview

Stats and Infusions

For today’s build, I’m focusing on a Strength build, which allows me to utilize both heavy and cold infusions. This versatility gives you options for both raw power and added frostbite effects, making your attacks unpredictable and lethal.

Talisman Setup

Here’s the talisman setup I recommend:

· Spear Talisman: This enhances the Crouch poke, making it a formidable attack.

· Retaliatory Cross Tree: This further boosts the effectiveness of your crouch attacks.

· Great Jar Arsenal: Given the heavy nature of this build, you'll need this talisman to maintain your mobility.

· Bull-Goat Talisman: To round things out, this will give you some much-needed poise, allowing you to tank hits without being staggered.

Combat Strategy

Invasions and Gameplay

When you enter combat, you'll want to utilize your crouch attacks to bait opponents. Start with a Crouch attack into your offhand Curved Greatsword for a swift combo. If they roll away, follow up with Storm Stomp to catch them off guard and maximize your damage output.

During my recent invasions, I found that positioning is crucial. The tighter the space, the better your chances to trap foes with your combo. In close quarters, a well-timed Storm Stomp can create devastating opportunities.

Engaging Opponents

As you engage in combat, remember to keep an eye on your surroundings. Use the terrain to your advantage, especially in narrow corridors or tunnels where opponents can't easily dodge your attacks. For instance, in the Subterranean Shunning Grounds, I was able to use my heavy attacks to deal significant damage while keeping my enemies on the back foot.

Don’t hesitate to throw in some tactical retreats to heal or re-assess the battlefield. If you're facing multiple opponents, splitting them up can lead to easier picks. Use boulders or other environmental hazards to your advantage—your enemies won't see them coming!

Conclusion

All in all, this Greatsword and Curved Greatsword build is not only incredibly powerful, but also incredibly fun to play. It offers the perfect balance of power and strategy, allowing you to punish your enemies while maintaining control of the battlefield.
