Optimal Lightning Death Knight Build | Elden Ring DLC | Dragon Cult PvP

Hey Guys! Some notes on the build in case you wanted to try other variations of it: This Faith Variation of the Dragon Cult lightning build is the one I think is most optimal for high burst in invasions while maintaining decent defense & utility from faith. Consider these other two options depending on your playtstyle: 1. Strength version: Go 54 Strength, and lower your faith if you want to be more melee focused. Use the Winged sword insignia, Millicent's prosthesis, and Shard of Alexander to pump up the damage of your death knight twin axes ash of war. The multi-hit damage will be crazy! This version of the build will have much less burst damage from incants, but your melee swings will hit harder. 2. Glass Cannon version: Go 80 Faith and use the Priestess Heart to Transform into the Dragon priestess. This gives you 20% increase Dragon cult damage instead of the 8% from the Death Knight set. The downside is you have to be naked to do this you will have no poise and very little defense. Since you're a glass cannon anyway, you can equip the Beloved Stardust talisman to maximize your cast speed without needing azur's staff or any dexterity investment. Add the Lightning Scorpion Charm to fully maximize damage. This build will ACTUALLY one shot anyone in the game, but you will die instantly in return. Use this at your own caution.

The fight with the guy and his 6 phantoms/hunters was so entertaining 😂 satisfying seeing him finally fight for himself in the end

You’re right that one blue was the most/only alpha blue I’ve ever seen lol.

Finally someone using stuff that’s actually balanced and interesting sick of the same builds being posted every 2 seconds

I love it so much that you add the item discovery sound when the equipments you’re talking about pop up on screen 🥰 great video

fought a death knight in the arena yesterday and knew I had to try the weapons. this just puts more duel on the fire for me.

When you check to see how much longer the video is cause you don't want it to end. Lovin the vids. Fantastic work

This is most likely the best DLC build I have seen so far! Because it is not BROKEN. Most of videos around nowadays, of course they are interesting and entertaining but also they are OP AF. Personally I don't like using anything broken like dueling shields, swift slashes, one shot perfume bottles etc.. This build looks so fun! Awesome plays, awesome fights mate.

this build is my whole personality now

I love your videos man u always manage to make me laugh hah

Beautiful build 👏

My favorite build now, absolutely trucking my way through NG++, was worried it wouldnt be enough but knights lightning spear is all in one

I'm glad we finally got some fairh based lightning weapond for lightning faith builds

Sick stuff! Pretty much exactly what i went through the DLC with, only i didnt have a second gravel stone seal and i didnt think to use godfrey's icon.

Sick video dude! I’m actually working on something similar and trying to make it work @125.

Damn! I literally just acquired all of these items today

this is so cool man

Just fyi, there's no reason to use Black Flame Protection anymore because it got nerfed in PvP to 15% physical dmg reduction, while still reducing your healing by 20% and it has an fp cost. Boiled Crab is also 15% physical dmg reduction in PvP, and it doesn't reduce your healing or cost fp to use. It does last 10 seconds less.

Love this. What is the stats for this build? Thanks

Love you Videos and Builds, Highly recommended!! Your Build has covered Fun and Strength, impressive! Von, do you have any suggestion to me as i found out the build's only weakness is chasing ( Not enough endurance if the Axe Ar cannot kill the running rabbit and Axe is not a very good weapon against good PVP player) I have tried GS of Damnation, its good against poise monster, but cannot cover the chasing weakness... Maybe Spear or something else?
