Top 5 Best Faith Weapons In Elden Ring & How To Get

Today we're going to be going over the top 5 faith damage weapons in Elden Ring. We come up with a list of the top 5 weapons based off of their base damage, scaling with the faith stat and usefulness in their move set, also in this guide, we are going to be explaining how damage scaling works and explaining to you how to get the most damage out of your weapons in Elden Ring. Now, let's get into the weapon list!

Top 5 Best Faith Weapons In Elden Ring & How To Get

1. Golden Halberd

This weapon gets d faith scaling even as you rank it up it'll keep its defense scaling which is solid and its ash of war allows you to increase your attack and defense for a while which is super helpful, increase your attack and defense. Its moveset is solid, the only downside to this weapon is its 30 strength requirement. If you plan on going a faith strength build this is a really great start.

2. Coded Sword

This gets a faith scaling at rank 6, it goes all the way up to s and it starts with b which means it's the highest starting faith weapon in the game. It does a crazy ash of war holy blade slash and it's a super great pickup. As well as this attack being unblockable, this being a strong pvp weapon. It has the best face scaling out of any of the weapons on this list, but it's missing physical damage, a lot of the other weapons on this list have holy damage plus physical and this thing wasn't really cutting it in the damage department especially for how small openings are. If you're going to use this thing, I'd strongly recommend dual wielding it with another sword that does holy damage that way at least you can kind of make up for a little bit of that lack of damage originally with another sword. Having an attack that is unblockable is very nice.

To get the coated sword in Elden Ring, it's a little bit complicated, because not only do you get the coated sword at the spot but you also get the sacred whetstone which allows you to apply sacred scaling to any weapon and use any ash of war as well as a new prayer book that allows you to get new incantations. So you're going to be able to need to get to the capitol first from the lower capital church, spawn point, you want to scale up the side of the dragon, there's a dragon laying there if you go up the top of it you'll eventually go through and some more things and then you'll see some wooden shacks, jump up on top of this shacks and then you'll get to an area that's kind of like the round table area from where you actual roundtable like spawn is and in here is a ton of items and a lot of them are faith scaling items or good for faith builds. So really good spot to be able to find.

3. Bleed Weapons 

When you get a weapon that does not come with an ash of war, you can apply one to it. There’s the great war hammer, it's got d strength d dexterity and causes blood buildup. We're using blood buildup weapons because bleed is an incredibly strong mechanic, when you build a bleed on an enemy, a bleed explosion is going to happen that deals a percentage of their max health which is extremely effective against tankier beefier enemies such as bosses because that bleed explosion will deal more damage. What this allows us to do is we can put faith scaling on bleed weapons and not only get physical damage and holy damage but also bleed damage which is incredibly powerful. Early on in the game, you can get sacred blade and sacred blade will allow you to apply sacred scaling to weapons. 

Other bleed weapons to put faith scaling on are the scythe which can be found in the cliff bottom catacombs. As you're in the catacombs you'll see a shrouded door that you need to use a stone sword key on ignore that run up the stairs and just keep going you'll get to a little area where you see a bunch of like goblins, take a left and you'll find the scythe on a corpse. For the uchigatana, you're going to want to come to the death touch catacombs. Once you're there when you're walking down the stairs going to take a right and then an immediate left into this like secret passage and then take another left and then you should be at the uchigatana.

4. Black Gargoyle Weapons

These weapons are acquired from killing the black gargoyle that is outside bestial sanctum and these two weapons, it'll drop both if you kill it are some of the hardest weapons to acquire on this list because you actually have to kill that boss to get them. These weapons are so cool, so the one thing that's holding these weapons back is they do not at least from leveling up change to sea faith scaling, they might get stuck at d same with number five spot but they both have crazy ash of wars and do tons of damage both in the holy department and in the physical department and they're just good to use, because they've got bunch of stagger on them. The halberd has got a really cool ash of war that lets you do spinning attack and you've already seen the black blades, dark flame pyromancy, this will hit multiple enemies with basically the black flame spell that'll dot enemies.

5. Winged Scythe

This is the best faith weapon in Elden Ring. This is a unique scythe that comes with the best ash of war, the spinning attack, the slash covers huge distance on the first hit you can stagger enemies so to guarantee the second hit it causes tons of bleed build up, it's just overall really powerful. It's very hard to get punished, it's got great range and this weapon gets c faith scaling at only in plus 6 which allows it to compete and do better damage than any of the other weapons on this list. The fact that this thing's ash of war is so freaking strong and it's got that c faith scaling allows this to be the best weapon. If you have not gotten this thing, I strongly recommend it.
