How to Make a Carian Sorcery Sword Build (Detailed Guide) Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree

Warning!!!! I was messing around with this sword and I realized that it ONLY works with magic damage sorceries. You can cast magna sorceries but they will deal almost no damage. This applies to sorceries with physical damage as well. I saw you cast rock sling with it, but It would do no damage. This isnt that bad of a restriction since almost every single sorcery, save for a few, are pure magic damage. Yes the thorn and briar spells are pure magic damage dealing for some reason.

Add the Wolf Mask and call it SpellBlaidd is the only thing missing

I could see this being really fun when paired with an offhand main-gauche for parrying. Maybe not optimal, but y'know, wizard fencer.

I was literally staring at this sword 5 minutes ago thinking to myself "I wonder how Chrightt would go about optimizing this for a build." ...and here we are!

Using this sword when you don't use the thrust is inefficient, but I think it provides unique value that you can't get from a staff. Simply having the option of the thrusting sword poke forces the opponent to play differently - opponents must respect the poke.

Man, I really wish this thing could buff itself with Scholar's Armament, it'd be able to reach Attack Power comparable to something like a Sacred Cleanrot Knight's Sword with Sacred Blade, would be instantly elevated from the position of being an extremely niche sidearm to something people would genuinely consider running as a main weapon. Pretty please FromSoftware, give me a proper successor to the Blue Flame, that weapon was a work of art and this weapon has the potential to be so much more than what it is now.

Chrightt got so frustrated at 16:27 that the clip just ENDS??? 😂

An argument for using c.slicer with the c.sorcery sword. I’m running it off hand with a Zwei. Off hand you can’t do a running or jumping light attack so I use a running slicer into off hand light and then swing with the main Zwei (rL2>L1>R1).

Im glad more people are looking into this weapon

While I'm glad we got any weapon catalysts- I would have liked to see a few more. I would have really liked a Shield that casts incantations. What would have made my year would be an Ash of war that enables this sort of functionality for any infusable weapon. But I'm sure there's a billion problems in regards to implementing that let alone balancing it.

I used this sword with the main-gauche dagger. Thrusting sword powerstance moveset on L1, decent parry on the dagger L2, and spellcasting on R2. Wasn't very good but it was fun.

ROYAL GREATSWORD MY BELOVED 🗣🗣🗣

Always appreciate the attention to detail you put in these videos! I just finished the dlc with a strength int build. Btw I'm reading through your book right now. Only up to chapter 12 and I'm enjoying it so far 👍

Using this with a scholar's shielded carian swordshield shiuld make it quite fearsome

Arena already was incredibly sweaty, but those headpieced that give bonuses for flask penalty are free stats in duels there. I'm calling it now, those are going to be the new mask of the mother from ds1. Thats all you will be seeing

I literally made a build just like this last night except with moonrithyl’s knight sword instead to have access to the amazing and low FP cost phalanx AoW when 2 handing, which is very effective. Everyone’s been saying that the sorcery sword is bad but I found it to be quite good in PvP like you said. A very well made and informative video, definitely gave me some more ideas for weapons that would work well with the offhand sorcery sword. Subbed.

Been waiting for this one. Thanks Chrightt!

this is close to something i had envisioned when i first saw the weapon, glad to see i wasnt too far off from the great chrightt!

This set up seems quite neat for my Str/int build, plan to add a few gravity spells but will be around 55 int so this seems quite favourable. I usually like more great shields but will make sure that once i finish my Str run for the DLC will try this too, ty

just what i needed i love the gimmick of this sword, thanks for the vid!
