I’m sure there are weapons I missed as I have not explored the whole game yet so let me know if there’s any weapons that I should grab for the next video

The other cool thing about the winged scythe is that when using angels wings, it adds an effect that won't allow enemies to use flasks for a certain amount of time. That includes in pvp!

dude this timing couldn’t be anymore perfect. i’m super new to the souls genre and as a confessor i’m trying to learn all this stuff and become a decent build. keep it up!

The Inseparable Sword (Greatsword) that you get from finishing Fia’s quest line if you handed over twinned armor is a great faith weapon. It scales to B-faith scaling and has sacred blade ash of war which adds more faith damage. Mine’s sitting at 762 damage with a 38 faith score

I’m not as far as you in the game but a PSA to add for the winged scythe for everyone considering it: 1.) That unique spinning attack is also amazing dealing with NPC invaders (and potentially players as well) because when you land it it prevents the enemy from healing for a good while. For souls vets it’s like hitting them with a Lloyd talisman. For example that invader in round table with the frostbite and bleed. They normally chug a flask mid fight, but if you hit them with that attack and proc the bleed it eviscerates them. 2.) At least for me one of the huge draws of using that scythe is it actually has quite a bit of stagger potential. When I first went to stormveil and was getting slapped by those knights every weapon wouldn’t stop their attacks so they’d hit right through and wreck me. Then the scythe almost every hit would interrupt them making them leagues more manageable. This point is more for dex/faith ppl as str/faith aren’t going to have any issues pancaking enemies.

I'm using the winged scythe on my faith build and this thing is unreal. That starting sword had me struggling but as soon as I hit that 24 faith and got radagons soreseal I became a dang reaper. It shreds bosses

Hemorrahge does scale with the opponents HP. The 13k dmg of the elder dragon can be achieved with any weapon that deals blood dmg

You’re 4 for 4 on elden ring vids 😭😭 now do a best armor for faith builds video next please 🙏🏼🙏🏼 If not what are the best armor sets in this game for a build like this?

Blasphemous Blade is easily the best. Great stats especially when upgrading, A top tier AoW, High Stagger and probably the best perk for endgame content, Healing on mob kill. I have started to upgrade my Black Blade aswell to duel wield and they hit like a truck. Also for potential PVP builds, The Uchi and Nagi duel wield with Sacred AoWs put on them, Super fast duel attacks, Bleed buildup, Great range. Slice and Dice opponents

I can confirm the wing scythe on a faith build is actually ridiculously good. Didn’t believe it at first but then I tried it and it’s nutty, the fact you also get bleed is just *fat chefs kiss*

So sad that the Treespear isn't on this list! It's truly an amazing weapon

I got that Winged Scythe yesterday and got my Faith up enough to equip it today. Didn't get to mess with it too much but I am looking forward to leveling it up from now on.

Tbh when I found the winged scythe, I KNEW it was gonna be in my dex/faith build just because the weapon art looked cool. I had no idea it’d be so optimal I just thought the moveset looked fun.

The Winged Scythe ash of war also disables flask use! Good for pvp if you can land the second hit!

Please keep doing content like this! I'm not seeing much out for faith and this is really happening

The winged scythe in PVP is also just so good. You can catch people with the art just so so easily. And when they realize they cant pot, its gg.

The winged scythe has absolutely changed my play through experience. The ash of war is sooo good and it’s incredible to find a weapon that scaled with faith, does bleed damage without using a bleed ash of war, and has a sick animation that hits twice and closes distance. It’s only +3 for me now but it’s almost too strong, i’m shredding bosses left and right now

Hey Moxsy, could I put forward a request? Just segment your videos for this - I love how informative and extensive you are, but I personally want to experience as much of Elden Ring for myself on my first playthrough as possible. Yet I just need that Elden Ring content. So, a list is okay, but the "how to get" parts I just skip and hope I don't skip right into anything spoilery.

Explaining scaling was amazing! I’m new to the series and it was extremely helpful. You, Sir, just gained a very happy new subscriber. Very clear explanations.

There's an awesome strength/faith warhammer called Envoy's Long Horn, you farm it from the horn-blowing enemies in Leyndell city, the special attack blows faith bubbles at the enemy and does huge damage and staggers easily if it lands, plus it sounds and looks glorious lol

Hey moxsy, big fan! The bleed proc comes from a base percent from the enemy. 13,000 damage came from the dragons 70k health pool

Personally on my faith build I’m loving the night Calvary’s flail . And yea the sleeping dragon that everyone is bleeding for that 72k souls atm does have a huge hp pool so his bleeds are wild

I've just been using the cipher Pata for most of my playthrough. It does require a certain type of playstyle to use a claw weapons but the cipher Pata has fantastic faith scaling and you can easily stun lock enemies through sheer number of attacks you throw out. It also has a rly powerful unblockable attack and most shields are pretty much ineffective against its normal attacks as well as they just do faith dmg.

There's a talisman that boosts Holy damage (in return for taking more damage yourself). You can find it kinda early, if I remember correctly. I think you can pair that up with the Coded Sword for better damage.

Jesus Christ is my lord and savior

have 60+ hours in the game and finally understand the weapon scaling lmao thank you

you can also get a halo scythe that drops from cleanrot knights, it's super powerful and it's unique ability is really good at taking out enemies from range. The only real downside is that it requires somber stones to upgrade.

The sword you get from rykard has faith scaling and nothing crazy stat wise but its ash of war is absolutely nuts. I just beat the game with it 100% recommend.

You forgot to mention that in pvp the winged scythe disables healing with the weapon art. Nice bonus for invading.

Winged scythe is ridiculous early, carried me through the first couple areas. Sword of night in flame is insanely strong as well.

The winged scythe ash of war acts like the undead hunter charm from DS3. Prevents healing flask use. So nice for the counter-invasions

Was gonna go for coded sword but that's nearly an end game location

Winged Scythe's Ash of War has the Sister Friede's "Singh of Approval" for sure.

The blasphemous sword is pretty great too. The weapon art does a lot of damage, has great range, and heals you when you land it on enemies. You need 22 str to wield it but that's worth it imo

The winged scythe is really good but I find myself missing enemies at point blank with it’s awkward normal swing

Winged Scythe is great for invaders, because of how you can switch targets during the skill. I got so many hosts by wacking the summon with the first hit, baiting a backstab from the host, then switching lockon to the host behind me and just eviscerating them with the flying follow up. They can never see it coming because the user doesnt change facing till he final charge The range is also enough to cross small gaps via flying which is just awesome.

You're going to love the Golden Order Greatsword, and the Sacred Relic Sword as well for Str+Faith Builds. The Ash of war of each of those is crazy OP

"13000 bleed proc" to clarify, bleed damage is % based on the HP pool of the target. its always massive. bleed is meta AF

This is very likely a later weapon but Eclipse Shotel is a very intersting and deadly weapon, it's weapon art is a buff giving the weapon the capability to apply elden rings variant if curse, the instant death effect once build up the enemy or enemy player just instantly dies.

I want to stay true to the faith build I’m making, and I have no idea what the hell im doing. Thank you for helping us out!

What do you think of the Cipher Pata? Pure holy damage, ignores shields, good weapon art, weighs nothing, found early, and scales well

The halo scythe is my favorite early/mid game faith weapon it’s weapon art absolutely shreds through bosses. I beat starscourge my second try mainly spamming its weapon art

Keep the faith content coming 🙏

Recently been using dual Coded Swords+10 on ng+ with 80 faith, sacred scorpion charm, Erdtree Seal+10, physick flask (Faith Knot Crystal Tear and Holy Shrouding Cracked Tear), and Golden Vow incantation. Start by using flask then cast Golden Vow, and you'll get damage ranging at 700-800+ per sword. I wouldn't say that it's the best faith weapon in the game, but it's pretty fun to use and it can melt health bars in pvp. Pretty good in pve, just not with gargoyle bosses or anyone resistant to holy dmg.

The banished knight halberd starts at lvl 8 and has c scaling. Very strong pick , you get it from Morne castle.

I've been using the Magma Wyrm Greatsword and that thing is a beast! It does crazy physical and fire damage, scales really well and has a great ash of war, not to mention it looks badass haha

I believe in Jesus Christ

I just wanted to mention that you can use flame ashes of war if you've unlocked flame art which gives I faith scaling instead of its normal scaling. This can help against enemies that are resistant to holy damage but not flame, and generally the damage base is higher with flame art before resists are added

I agree with this list. The scythe basically mimics the Bloohound Fang with the added bonus of scaling with faith, making it easily a great choice for early/midgame. The ash of war it has is incredible too.

I'd like to ask for an honorable mention for the Blasphemous Blade and its crazy weapon art, and another one for the Sword of Night and Flame, even tho it's more for Int/Faith hybrids, it's still a great weapon, even after the recent nerfs.

The regular scythe plus the ash of war you get from Knight Loretta is pretty comparable to the winged scythe, plus you can coat the blade using spells without having to get all the way to the capital for the sacred whetstone

I’m surprised you didn’t mention the halo scythe. It’s ridiculously powerful for a ranged weapon and I’ve used it alone to down bosses from magma wyrms to morgott. The best part about it is it’s damage output and scaling of its ranged attack and the fact that it takes such little fp to cast and relies mainly on stamina, you’re almost constantly attacking. Pair that with a good summon to hold aggro and you can just go to town on anything in front of you.

I just watched your video on faith weapons. I just want you to know I’m new to the series of this type of game and how you explain the scaling in weapons systems help me out tremendously thank you so much!!

I picked up the winged scythe early on and wasn't loving the feel of it but this has convinced me to commit a bit longer.

Meanwhile I fell in love with the Godslayer Greatsword. It deals massive physical and massive blackflame damage. It's supposed to be a late game boss weapon but you can get it decently early in the game. Spoiler as where it is: Southern East at the bottom of the divine tower you have to first climb up, only to get all the way to the bottom of it where a certain extremely frequently used boss awaits you. If you have trouble defeating him, either use a tanky ash or get a friend as you can easily aggro him by a single plunge attack meaning whenever he attacks who or whatever you brought with you, you can easily punish him, steal the aggro and reverse. The weapon you get hits like a truck and the weapon art hits even harder since blackflame is rarely resisted by bosses at all. It also grants you the best incarnation . . . Thing! (Please correct me, I forgot the name of these things!) I used to just be a dex build, this weapon alone is the whole reason I went with faith. It's strong, it's big, it hits like a truck and on horse back / if you go for heavy jump attacks, you're bound to stagger bosses at least once or twice if you don't kill them faster. The weapon art will also pierce blocks and almost guarantee to deal afterburn too. I am maybe a bit too enthusiastic over this weapon but for a weapon you can get so early it's still absolutely relevant in the late game.

Super helpful. Im a souls vet and never honestly understood scaling, i appreciate that intro a lot!

Great video! Been waiting for a quality Faith themed video to come out for awhile since I'm doing a Faith/Strength Paladin build.

I want to throw in the Magmaworm's Scaled Sword it has faith scaling C but does bonus fire dmg instead of holy. It is a Curved Great Sword and requires 24 str, 15 dex, 18 fai but this thing slaps.

This video couldn’t have been better. I’ve been questioning my scythe faith/dex build but you allowed me to rethink it. Thanks for the awesome video, you got a new sub.

Another scythe that is hailed as the ultimate scythe in Fromsoft games is the Halo Scythe. You get it from knights in Caelid, it’s Ash is a long range attack, with bleed (naturally), good scaling and damage. Add a Gold Vow spell to increase damage, and you become a holy blender.

In the first min and 45 seconds you helped me understand so much of how dmg works. Thank you.

Cipher pata is absurd, ash of war one shots most enemies in caelid for me at lvl 65

Glad my favorite bl3 KZfaqr is uploading elden ring bangers can’t wait to see what else you’ve got

Yoooo I love the Winged Scythe so much! Appreciate spreading the love for it! I'll be making a reaper asap after this

I think the Cipher Pata is one the better weapons for Faith as well, mostly because it has 0 weight so if you have a slot for it, you can always have an unblockable weapon equipped

The halo scythe is pretty good too. I've been using its weapon art to shred in pve. It can also be pretty good in pvp if the other dude doesn't know how to dodge.

I’m glad your loving Elden ring i like you BL3 videos but i like too see my favorite KZfaqrs play different games besides just one

Your videos are definitely a big help to someone that is fairly new to souls games i played i bit of ds 3 but never completed it. Knowing where to find stuff is a big help.

Bro im so glad I found someone else doing a faith build

5:38 THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT I DID. I am now a sacred shinobi of the lightning and it’s so fun. I also keep the Cipher Pata on my right hand secondary so I can whip out pure faith unblockable assassin’s creed gauntlets. It’s such a nutty play style and so fun. I have exactly the minimum strength and dex required to wield the uchi and every other bit of damage comes from my faith. I have bloodhound step on right katana with faith scaling, and sacred blade on left hand katana. While I’m dual wielding I teleport. If I left hand 2 hand I can shoot the sacred blade arc and buff up.

Great video. Would you mind sharing where you got that armor? Thanks!

The red hot whet stone from the castle before redahn let’s you put flame art on weapons. It scales with faith.

2 years later and u made exact video i need

Theres a Morningstar in a carriage near castle morne that is a good 1H sword like alternative, it has bleed as well…but what I’m using now is a sacred claymore. I just love the poking roll that its move-set has very good for poking bosses.

so would you say that it's better to have the winged scythe in your main hand? compared to you last faith build guide that you had the normal scythe with sacred blade ash of war as main hand with winged scythe as off hand. also would you say it's better to just two hand the winged scythe or power stance winged scythe with normal scythe? thanks!

Well that was the most disheveled "list" video ive ever watched but still much appreciated haha ive been enjoying my angel wings!

Soulsbourne vet and i have followed you through Outriders and really enjoyed the content. Loving your Elden Ring stuff so far fellow Confessor!

Doing my first ever faith build, mainly cause I wanted to roll Pyro yet again, but loving the Winged Scythe! Didn't realize it has bleed buildup. Also, I need to know what armor you have on, cause it's exactly the type of style I've been looking for.

The magma wyrm’s scale sword is also a good faith weapon

And good recommendation for str + faith? I am using the golden knight great sword, the one that roams outside the artists shack(where you get your first lightning tome)

Thanks for that sacred scaling with bloodhound step thing I didn’t know I could do that

IMO Rykards Blasphemous Blade is the best faith weapon. The damage on that thing is absolutely insane and it scales decently well

There is also a Grave Scythe with 144Phy, D str & D dex scaling , stronger than normal Scythe which has 125Phy E Str & C Dex

man I love you started covering Elden Ring. Have always enjoyed your videos. Keep up the awesome work!

Another recommendation is the Golden Epitaph. A straight sword found behind a Stonesword Door in Auriza Hero's Grave in Leyndell. At +9 I'm getting 500+ AR and I've had immense luck with it, especially in PvP. The weapon art is the same as the Golden Halberd, a buff to you and teammates that increases attack and defense.

Sword of Night and Flame should be on this list, shouldn't it? It scales very well with faith. Also for late game weapons, I think Golden Order Greatsword might be the best weapon in the game.

Thank you for this, I'm actually trying to make a Tankadin, this guide helps a lot!

THE DANG SCALING EXPLANATION I'VE BEEN SEARCHING FOR!!!! That's what the letters mean! Thank you Sir!

Just a note: Mixed damage historically isn't good in soulsborne games. If you can do 400 holy or do 200 physical and 200 holy, unless what you are fighting is really good against specifically holy, you are better off just going with the one 400 holy weapon because enemies will resist both damage types separately.

Doesn't matter what bleed weapon you use, you hit the same damage numbers, I was hitting 13K on the same dragon with my great knife, and exactly the same with the flail, the flail has a B scaling in faith. // EDIT the standard flail currently at +8 has a C scaling in faith not a B, got weapons mixed up, I was thinking about a weapon that scales with a B in Arcane, my mistake

BRO YOUR TIMING WAS IMPECCABLE

Winged scythe is hella strong running it power stance with the halo scythe which has D faith scaling to switch between skills is nice too and hell I throw on the cipher pata fists as a secondary too for the skill and speed

Feel like the sword of night and flame should be on here. It requires 24 int as well as 24 faith so I had to respec for it but the ash of war demolishes stuff it was so worth it. Has magic and flame damage options for stuff that's resistant to one or the other and both are hitting for 1200+ for me at only level 60

Take a look at sword of night and flame int/faith scaling c at +3 its insanly powerfull. Margrit in 3 aow hits Edit: it is op but my friend used it on a fast boss he didnt get any chance to hit it and did it more than 20+ times to beat it i did it with dual katana bleed buff and beat him in the 2nd time

The fact that my faith build weapon is mailkeths black blade and he didn’t include it makes me question why he didn’t include it so why?

I used my Death's Poker through out the game because of it's AoW. That Lt+Rb combo is so OP!

It’s crazy how much time and effort you put into these videos. Huge respect. Keep up the good work

Moxsy, your elder rung videos are THE BEST I’ve seen. Subscribed!

Wow. The faith katana build makes for a solid dex option for pvp. This is so damn cool.

We really need faith armor. I'm wearing the same gear at level 50.
