In this Elden Ring Build guide, we'll be showing you our Gravity Mage Build. This is an advanced build that takes place at level 150. If you've been looking for a mage build or Best Elden Ring Rune that utilizes the Gravity Sorcery then you might want to check this build-out.
How to make this Meteor Mage build work
First up let's talk about the two staffs that we use for this build, we have the Carian Regal Scepter in our right hand and we have the Meteorite Staff in our left, the meteorite staff actually gives you a 30 damage boost to gravity sorceries, this is rock sling, collapsing stars, gravity well, meteorite, and meteorite of astel, so all those spells are going to get plus 30 damage if you're wielding that staff when you cast that spell that doesn't mean you have to cast it with that staff, but you need to at least be holding that staff in your hand when you cast it, the Carian Regal Scepter actually has better source rescaling at 80 intelligence, so we're going to get increased damage by casting it with the Carian Regal Scepter, and we're going to get increased damage by holding the meteorite staff in our left hand that 30 damage boost is higher than something like the jellyfish shields damage buff that it gives you when you buff with it which is 20.

Tips for Meteor Mage Gameplay
Collapsing Stars and Gravity Well specifically have a mechanic built into them that allows you to pull enemies toward you, collapsing stars pulls a little bit with each orb that hits the enemy awards, and gravity well pulls like one substantial pole, and it's better at pulling like more difficult or harder to move enemies whereas collapsing stars is better at moving smaller enemies, you can use the spinning weapon to just absolutely annihilate them with the carry and regal scepter before they can do anything, the damage that you'll do with that skill is very high because that's magic damage, and you have the magic scorpion charm and ritual sword talisman, etc, so you'll do substantial damage with that as well.
The difference between meteorite and meteorite of astel is just that meteorite is cheaper, and it doesn't shoot out as many projectiles as the random actual does as quickly, and you can get earlier in the game, so you're pretty much going to use meteorite until you get meteorite of astel, because if you're using the Cerulean Hidden Tear that FP cost of the spell doesn't matter anyway, and you want to get out as many meteors as you can, and meteorite of astel is better at doing that, and lastly, we have Terra Magica which boosts your magic damage while you're standing in the kind of circle that it puts on the ground, this is really good for fights where you're going to be using gravity well or collapsing stars because those deal 100 magic damage, it's not as effective with meteorite or meteorite of astel, so you want to try and primarily use those spells when you're using Terra Magica.
Final Tips for Meteor Mage Build
There're final tip for this Meteor Mage build.
Cerulean Hidden Tear
This Cerulean Hidden Tear is very good if you're going to go into a boss fight and use meteorite or meteorite of astel, that's not always the case though some bosses are very quick and agile.
Magic - Shrouding Cracked Tear
Magic - Shrouding Cracked Tear is also very good if you're going to be using gravity well or collapsing stars which you will in a lot of bosses fights particularly with smaller bosses, so that's a good one to use.
Greenburst Crystal Tear
Green burst Crystal Tear in order to increase your stamina recovery because you do consume stamina quite regularly when you're casting spells and getting that stamina back quickly allows you to keep casting and also continue dodging and casting at the same time.
