2. Weapons

Use blood blade as your damage and if you're dealing with Elden Ring Runes enemies immune to bleed, use your other dagger to proc freeze and then go back to the Reduvia.

- Reduvia: in the main hand, we're going to be using the Reduvia, an amazing weapon that can single-handedly take down every enemy and boss in the game. The basic attacks on daggers do barely any damage, even if you make a build that is fully dedicated to making them stronger, they're still just not very effective. What actually melts enemies is its Ash of War on it, Reduvia Blood Blade, your character throws out blades of blood that not only do good amounts of damage alone, it's got decent range, a fast casting speed only consuming six Mana per use, making it very cost-effective and the kicker to it is it builds up blood loss as well. An added bonus to this is when you are using the Ash of War if you stand right in front of your target, you can actually hit them with the dagger as well, which doesn't do a lot of damage but it adds a ton of extra blood loss because the weapon passively has 97 bleed build up to it and when you combine this with the projectile part of the Ash of War, you're basically doubling your bleed build up for the exchange of being right up close to your target, that's not that big of an issue because you have seen how much distance you can gain by rolling with a light equip load, you can get in and out of a fight instantly with no problems. This weapon is going to take you all the way to the endgame, so level it up as much as you can.

- Cold Bloodstained Dagger: When you are dealing with enemies that are completely immune to bleed buildups, you are not able to proc Hemorrhage and get that 30 increased damage buff, instead, procing the freeze on the target will also take their health away, even though not as much damage. The way we get freeze going is with the help of a second dagger in our offhand, which is the Bloodstained Dagger, you don't need this exact one literally anyone you can place an Ash of War on will do just as well. The important part of this dagger is the affinity and the Ash of War. For the proc freeze, we're gonna have to put the cold affinity on it that gives it a total of 105 Frost buildup, a really solid amount, then for the Ash of War, you'll need Repeating Thrust. 105 Frost buildup combined with the ash of war that hits your enemy four times, you'll proc frost within one to two uses of the Ash of War, so the bloodstained dagger is not the only option.

To use the cold affinity, you have to grab the Academy Glintstone Key that is right behind a sleeping dragon, you don’t have to fight them, you can just take it and run away, this is going to allow you to get the Glintstone Whetblade, which gives you the option to place the cold affinity on best site to buy elden ring items weapons.
