Arguably one of the most well-known weapons in Elden Ring, it is a complete powerhouse. If it wasn't for the existence of one specific weapon, an intelligence-based Samurai build would be wildly unviable! Luckily for us, we have the Moonveil Katana. And, hopefully, the long list of frost spells above should be enough to cover all distances of engagements!

That being said, the Greatsword's Ash of War is immensely powerful, especially in a frost/intelligence build like this, so it is definitely worth it! The two talismans listed above, Shard of Alexander and Carian Filigreed Crest, are fan favorites, and will make skills much cheaper and more effective! Meanwhile, while the Snow Witch Hat's 10% frost buff is essential here, the rest of the armor set is not. When used effectively, this build will almost certainly imbue your enemy with the deadly frostbite effect! That is unless they die from pure physical attack first!īecause of the Dark Moon Greatsword, Strength is actually going to be important for this build, so be sure to keep that in mind. The Frost Mage build focuses on, you guessed it, frostbite damage! Frostbite damage is going to work wonders against most enemies, and this is one of the few builds that acknowledge that. Spells: Greatblade Phalanx, Adula's Moonblade, Zamor Ice Storm, Glintstone Icecrag.Talismans: Shard of Alexander, Carian Filigreed Crest.Weapons: Dark Moon Greatsword, Carian Regal Scepter.
