Top 3 Best Elden Ring Strength Meta Builds - S Tier Strength Build Guide

1. Giantcrusher Build

This character looks like they are straight out of a monster hunter game and even though this looks ridiculous wielding two colossal weapons, it is easily one of the most satisfying strength builds in Elden Ring. Giant crusher hammers deserve a spot in the s tier for strength weapons in Elden Ring because their attribute scaling is incredible and the amount of damage you can stack with these colossal weapons is insane. The royal knights resolve ash of war that we are using on both of giant crusher hammers will give you the ability to one to two shot almost every single enemy in this game. This type of physical attack power in Elden Ring is not only going to make you feel invincible but every single enemy that you come up against is going to feel like a walk in the park.

3. Barbarian Build

This build is incredible with the scholar shield spell, that's going to make our fingerprint shield invulnerable to all damage. This is going to pair very nicely with the brick hammer that we are using as our primary weapon. Our guard counters are going to do a lot of damage and you have a lot of flexibility when it comes to which ashes of war you want to use. You could use the royal knights resolve to increase the damage of your next attack or if you want to have a little bit more fun, use the lion's claw skill that we were using on the raging wolf build to destroy your enemies. This build is an amazing choice for anybody that prefers a more defensive approach, but you will have the damage to protect yourself and your attacks are going to be very destructive.
