Elden Ring: Poison Dragon Build Guide for Invasions

Hello everyone, today we will be taking a deep dive into an exciting Elden Ring set that focuses on maximizing damage through poison buffs while unleashing the destructive power of dragon attacks. In addition, the required Elden Ring Runes for this set can be purchased by players on MMOEXP. This guide will cover everything you need to know about the poison dragon set, including equipment, statistics, and effective invasion strategies.

Build Overview

This build combines the strength of dragon attacks with poison damage to create a unique and powerful playstyle. By using specific items and buffs, you can significantly enhance your damage output, making it a formidable choice for invading other players.

Key Equipment

1. Mushroom Crown: Increases damage by 16% when poison is present.

2. Poisoned Hand: Essential for maintaining your poison status, which is crucial for maximizing damage.

3. Ker Rod's Exaltation: Provides an additional 20% damage boost when there’s poison in the vicinity.

Armor Choices

You have two main setups for this build:

· Rock Shasa Armor with Mushroom Crown: Offers good defense (6% damage reduction) and stability, ideal for survivability during invasions.

· Pure Dragon Form with Rock Heart: Grants a 20% damage increase to dragon communion incantations. However, this setup lacks poise and defense, making you vulnerable to interruptions.

Stats Distribution

· Faith: Minimum of 36 to cast the key incantation, Placetx Runin.

· Health: Aim for 60 for a decent buffer against damage.

· Mind: Keep this stat reasonably high to manage FP for casting.

· Endurance: Not a primary focus, as the build utilizes low weight gear.

· Arcane: This will be your main damage stat, so invest heavily here.

Talismans

To maximize your effectiveness, equip the following talismans:

1. Roar Medallion: Boosts all roar incantations.

2. Faithful’s Canvas Talisman: Adds a 4% damage increase to incantations.

3. Flock’s Canvas Talisman: Grants an additional 8% damage boost.

4. Kindred of Rot’s Exaltation: Provides a 20% damage increase when poison is nearby.

Casting Tools

· Dragon Communion Seal: This is your primary seal for buffing dragon communion incantations. Equip this to enhance your dragon attacks further.

Buffing Strategy

To maximize your damage output:

1. Apply Poison: Use the Deadly Poison perfume bottles or Ash of War to quickly inflict poison on yourself.

2. Buff Up: Ensure you have the Mushroom Crown and Ker Rod’s Exaltation effects active.

3. Stay Aware: Keep an eye on the duration of your poison buffs, as they only last about 20 seconds.

Invasion Strategies

Now that we have our build set up, here are some tips for successful invasions:

1. Positioning: Always try to have the high ground. This will give you an advantage when using dragon breath attacks, as elevation makes it harder for opponents to dodge.

2. Engage Wisely: If you see a host charging at you, be prepared to counterattack. Use the Dragon Breath to catch multiple enemies off-guard.

3. Use Cover: Utilize the environment to block incoming projectiles while you buff yourself.

4. Combo Attacks: Mix dragon breath with incantations like Placetx Runin for massive burst damage. Timing is key to catching enemies off guard.

5. Stay Mobile: Keep moving to avoid being targeted, especially when you’re casting.

6. Trade Damage: If you're confident in your build, engage in trades. The poison damage combined with your dragon attacks can lead to devastating results.

Conclusion

The Poison Dragon build is an exciting way to invade in Elden Ring, combining high damage potential with a unique play style. With the right equipment, attributes, and strategy, you can defeat your opponents with terrible poisons and dragon attacks. Of course, you can also purchase other enchanted cheap Elden Ring Items needed for the dragon build in MMOEXP. Happy hunting, and may your invasion be fruitful!
