Buffs and Debuffs | Elden Ring Wiki

Braggart's Roar is missing the bonus to status application on (charged?) heavy attacks.

I wish we had more options for body buffs that buff allies. There is only the Greater Barriers. And there isn't an option to improve an allies Physical defense, you can use Protection of the Erdtree to help resist fire but it won't help much. I wish Black Flames Protection and Flame Protect Me could also be applied to allies such as summons or in coop. Or a body buff that increase allies damage in some way

Submit

I've always really struggled to see the value in using the weapon buff spells in this game since it usually just feels more practical to use an elemental infusion (relevant to your build ofc) OR a physical infusion with a skill that just gives weapon buff (or using resins for convenience). I've done spellblade-focued runs in DS1 & DS2, so I get the appeal but am I missing something here, or are they actually just not that good?

Submit

Thats why I main stormhawk deenh. She's perfect for Str builds who don't want to dabble too much in buffs. She's hard to kill off too so she generally survived most boss fights and can even pull aggro without taking damage. Plus she applies her buff on summon and also throughout battle. I love her so much <3

Submit

I hope the next Souls game (that isn't exclusive to a currently lackluster console, The Duskbloods...) has longer lasting, powerful iconic buffs that would be like Darkmoon Blade or Power Within of Dark Souls 1, but with heavy restrictions to where you could only realistically have at maximum 2 buffs applied at a time. Weapon Buff, Body Buff, that's it. Condense all the Body, Aura, Regen, Stamina, and "Unique" effects into a single buff slot, and juice the hell out of all of them to make you really have to think about which one you want to be using in that slot. If you want to use the Rage buff for a crazy damage boost, you have to pick it over the Regeneration spell that heals stupid amounts of health over time, or the Fortification spell that grants you crazy amounts of damage negation, or the Vitalization spell that grants higher equip load and crazy stamina regeneration, etc. No more sextuple buff stacking, you get TWO really good buffs, and that's it.

Submit

I feel like defensive buffs are more powerful than offensive buffs. Good armor (Solitude, Bull-Goat, Verdigris) + Opaline Hardtear + Boiled Crab + Dragoncrest Greatshield is insane even in NG+ cycles.

Submit

Substitute for Golden Vow and FMGS, if you don't mind you take more damage:
Aura Buff:
Stormhawk Deenh
Physical Damage +20%
Stamina Damage +20%
Poise Damage +20%
Compared to Golden Vow's it is 15% dmg and +10% negation with 20 extra seconds.
Bloodboil Aromantic lasts for 30 seconds more than FMGS or Exalted Flesh, but it's harder to craft.

Results in: +40%/+35% Physical Dmg, -25% Dmg Absorption (Git Gud), which is pretty broken.

Submit

There really should have been like a "giantsflame armament" that buffed your weapon with fire damage equal to 0.75x your incant scaling with no bleed or arcane, just pure faith

Submit

There's something slightly wrong with this.The maximum health reduction effects of Incantations, Black Blade and Destined Death stack, meaning they reduce the enemy's maximum health by 20%.However, Destined Death and Blade of Death do not stack.In summary, the 'UNIQUE' category should include 'Black Blade', not 'Blade of Death'.

Submit

Fixed link to Lulling Branch page. And just killed Bayle with this buff lol.

Submit

can you stack Flame Grant Me Strength, Golden Vow, And Protection of the Erdtrer Together? I was just honestly confused and im trying to do a Strength/Faith Build using the big hammer you get from Gurranq

Submit

Save yourself all that damage: Acid Spraymist/Greyoll's Roar/BlackFlame's Protection. (Ritual Shield Talisman/Blessing of the erdtree/Commander's Standard Ash). You're Welcome. God Bless.

Submit

Why tf my golden vow skill is cancelling the boiled crab

Submit

I usually use heal incantations like heal from afar instead of crimson flasks for 2 reasons: 1-it can be a lot more efficient if you use blue flasks to heal fp. 2-they don't get nerfed by black flame protection and malenia's great rune don't nerf it

Submit

Can someone help me? There is a sheet about Weapon Buff MV, with values for each weapon and moveset. But why it feels like some weapon buffs does not exactly follow that? Like, applying Fire Grease or using War Cry works effectively different. Then, there is also Dragon Wound Grease... I understand it might have to do flat/% damage, but I noticed Bloodflame Blade also works differently, so i'm confused.

Submit

Wait, so is Flame, Grant Me Strength a body buff, or a stamina regen buff?
Will it cancel both Boiled Crab and Greenburst Crystal Tear?

Submit

All the noobism is too much...if you rely on buffs you suck plain and simple

Submit

daily reminder that endure and oath of vengence endure can stack!

Submit

Why is some moron putting permanent buffs that can stack from armor or talismans in the table of temporary buffs that can't stack? Are they stupid?

Submit

Why tf is there no fire weapon spell?

We could've had something like: "Giantsflame Bless my Blade!" or "Gelmir's Blade" or "Messmerfire Weapon"

Give us something From wtf. Bloodflame Blade ain't it.

Submit

"[insert thing name] is OVERPOWERED in Elden Ring!!!"

*looks inside*

Uses only damage boosting talismans, charged attack tear + elemental, twinbird kite shield, golden vow, howl, black dumpling, madding hand, aged one's exultation, lord of blood's exultation, white mask, seppuku etc. God, I really wish that one day people would stop judging how strong things are in this game based on if they can completely eviscerate bosses while with 20 buffs stacked or not. I'm already sick of it.

Submit

Remove roped greases from your next game fromsoft, I beg you. You will never see pvpers use them because there are like 20 variants of roped greases in the game after dlc and you can hold 30 of each, and craft them on top of that during invasions. Seeing your average pvper popping those free elemental damage buffs like candies every 5 seconds is just annoying. There is literally no reason why normal greases should exist at this point, not only they aren't used by anyone in pvp but we also don't need them in pve as we have million weapon buffs that don't require grinding materials.

Submit

Dragon forms from DLC would be so much hype if we already didn't have stackable buffs that give you astronomical damage boost (golden vow, howl, elemental tears etc). They are essentially semi-useless roleplay items. I love elden ring but I've genuinely grown so bored of buff stacking.

Submit

Does Greenburst crystal tear stamina regen not stack with flame grant me strength stamina regen? Or does flame grant me strength count solely as a body buff?

Submit

The dragon and priest hearts are not body buffs? I thought they were

Submit

Dunno who's done it, but this page now is missinforming about what buffs are counted as "Temporary".
For example, the Icon shield and Royal Remains buffs are NOT temporary. Provided you meet their requirements (In hand for the Shield, lower than 18%HP for royal remains), you get the buff, for as long as you meet those requirements. These also do NOT override the actual temporary buffs like Blessings Boon.

Submit

Getting summoned be like: Golden Vow+Blessing of the Erdtree+Boiled Crab+Fire Grease (Host casts Law of Regression)

Submit

This is one of the most overwhelmingly horrendous games at explaining anything about anything in the game. You know it's a shitty game when the only positive aspect is that it's a souls game.

Submit

If 2 things drop an enemies defence, does it stack? Theres a weapon i just got from the spectral moose in nokrok, it's L2 lowers enemies defence. I was thinking of using that with the dragon roar incantation that also lowers defence

Submit

What does multiplicative stacking mean? I get that buffs are increased when you stack them, but where does it come from

Submit

who on earth is doing these boss prep patterns

Submit

IMO all somber weapons with pure physical damage that do only have STR and DEX scalings should be buffable, literally the strongest weapon in this cathegory (somber pure physical and only STR/DEX scalings) is already buffable, the Bloodhound's Step, there is NO reason for others not to be too lol.

Submit

CONTAGIOUS FURY Skill needs an update here.

Submit

Least theoretical damage negation possible:

Naked (except the helm)
Level 2 Wretch (1 extra faith point. I’ll explain later)

Talismans:
Daedicar’s Woe (100%)
Talisman of All Crucibles (45%)
Beloved Stardust (30%)
Any scorpion charm (12%/20% in PVP)

Incarnations:
Howl of Shabriri (30%)

Crystal Tear:
Windy Crystal Tear (15%)

Skills:
Soul Stifler (15%. Requires 2nd player)

Armor:
Any scarab helm (5%-6% rounding)

Other:
Frostbite (20%)

To use Howl of Shabriri, have one faith point as it doesn’t increase holy resistance, then equip Marika’s Soreseal (+5 Faith), Two Fingers Heirloom (+5), drink physic with Faith Knot Crystal Tear(+10), and equip Corpse Head. Cast Howl of Shabriri, unequip all your faith-boosting stuff, then rest at a grace. It’ll keep the debuffs but remove the extra faith.

Now if we assume it stacks additively, it should give us -390% damage negation. I would like it if someone checked the sum as I’m pretty bad at math.

Submit

buffs are kinda like summnons, an optional easy mode. its fine if u wanna use it but just know u didnt really beat the game

Submit

Is law of causality a buff or does it count as an attacking spell

Submit

This game really is a buff fest. People expect hypermode buffing like golden vow + flame grant me strength and other stuff has to carry them through the game with no issues and they get upset when bosses still prove to be challenging and don't die first try. I forgot the last time I've seen someone playing the game normally outside of cinematic boss kills on YT. It's a shame really because a game design like this gaslights some people into thinking you can beat the game only by abusing broken builds, tons of buffs and it's impossible otherwise.

Submit

Anyone else getting random silver fowl foot buffs? what's that about? As far as I can tell, it happens in certain areas at night when golden leaves are falling more often.

Submit

There is no good reason for some weapons in this game to be unbuffable. Every non somber weapon should be buffable, even when infused. Hell, more somber weapons should be buffable, it would make the game a lot more interesting. Also the fact that we don't have a straightup fire damage weapon buff that scales off of faith is criminal, coulda been a new Messmer fire incant but NOOOOOO

Submit

Black knife is also a destined death debuff...

Submit

Buffing in games that aren't turn-based has to be the most annoying thing ever. I can barely muster enough energy to drink the physick.

Submit

isn't the dragon priestess spell an aura buff? why it isn't on the table yet?

Submit

I’ve played the entirety of this game five times over and now I’m finally discovering buffs exist…

Submit

Fingerprint nostrum is a body buff. Does not stack with crab or exalted flesh.

Submit

Wish there was a reusable item that gave you a regen buff, like a crappy Bestial Vitality for players who don't want to use a Seal. Warming stones are kinda that, but not mobile.

Submit

Shriek of Milos, Soul Stifler, Flower Dragonbolt, Rennala's Full Moon and Ranni's Dark Moon still applying PVP's values of their debuffs in PVE at patch 1.16

Submit

Terra Magica hasn't been updated for the nerf to 22.5% on this page yet.

Submit

Debuffs with different values for PVE and PVE are still bugged (using PVP values in PVE) in patch 1.15

Submit

Golden vore, blessing of the Erdtree, flame grant me strength and boiled crab, do they stack?

Submit

Very nice overview,
But could you add the equipment & weapons to the stackable section ?
It does mention up there that they can be freely be stacked but it would be nice to be able to see the items listed
(such as the white mask & LoBe talisman for blood buffs +their poison/ madness equivelents etc)

Submit

I wanna a tear to let me earn at least 20% more runes for 30 secs that could stack with golden hen feet and golden skarab.

Submit

where is dlc greases buffs ?

Submit

Sacred Blade prevents undead respawn.

Submit

what about equipment with passives? black dumpling (+10% attack for 60 seconds after madness in the area), mushroom crown (+10% . 20 seconds) white mask (+10% . 20 seconds)
can these be categorised?

Submit

how do i debuff myself. the red debuff effect would fit my fashion perfectly

Submit

Y’all need to add the better version of the pickled turtle neck to stamina

Submit

I came to this page to remind myself EXACTLY what all the different types of buff are, and the page says "Weapon, Shield, Body, Aura, etc..." - Is that all of them or not???

Submit

Still bugged (currently patch 1.13.2) since patch 1.12.3: all power shred debuffs that have different values for PVE and PVP are using PVP values even in PVE.

Submit

right, florissax's dragon bolf doesn't scale right? with the golden vote?

Submit

can a cooperator overwrite my buffs? for example if i use last rites, then a summon uses golden vow will my original buff be overwritten by the cooperator's?

Submit

dont forget ping

Submit

What about the Co-op debuff?

Submit

Can vykes dragonbolt and bloodflame blade stack?

Submit

I hope someone get around to buffing this someday.

Submit

Honestly they should make buffs last longer, I like buff that last 20 seconds, whhile boss is just flailing mass of hitboxes for the first 18 minutes of bossfight before I can even hit once

Submit

I hope we get a FromSoft game where buffs last longer and don't stack as crazy as they do now. The way bosses are right now it's nearly impossible to reapply more than one buff during a fight (AoW ones work best for this). So the only real use case is stacking a ton of them and dealing insane damage in the first seconds, trivializing the fight.

Submit

nah you didn’t beat elden

Submit

Bro thinks he's playing SMT

Submit

Sword of light 20% holy damage buff fir 60 seconds is a body buff.

Submit

Braggart's Roar Ash of War weapon buff is missing, Adds 10% Physical Attack, Damage Negation +10% for all types and Stamina Recovery Speed +10/s (20%) lasts for 60 seconds

Submit

I was looking to see if I could find the relation between frostbite and the power shred debuff. Frostbite causes 20% loss of defense. If I used Greyoll's Roar, for example, would this stack multiplicatively or additively? (Basically, would the total debuff be 22% or 30%?)

Submit

The dlc buffs should be added whenever possible. I wanna know if a I die or you die build with rakshasa set and bloodsuck tear would work properly

Submit

As of patch 1.12, Terra Magica has been decreased from a 35% buff (1.35) to a 22.5% buff (1.225). This is reflected in the Terra Magica page, however not this page, Buffs and Debuffs | Elden Ring Wiki.

Submit

Sacred Order (AOW, 10% damage, 60sec duration) should be under unique. It seems to stack with everything.

Submit

Why flame, grant me strength isn't listed on the stamina buffs? It don't seem to stack with them so I think it should be there

Submit

No body ash of wars? Shame, hope the DLC adds one

Submit

Are consumable items separate from body buffs? For example, can I use a boiled crab and cast Bestial Vitality at the same time?

Submit

I dunno if anyone's gonna fix this error, but for Shriek of Milos, it doesn't give a 15% negation debuff, it's only 5%, even in PvE. I think whoever tested this forgot to account for the fact that the buff also gives 7.5% attack and more scaling, making it appear like it's a 15% damage increase when only some of that is the debuff

Submit

If I use boiled crab,golden vow,Oath of vengeance,and opaline hardtear. I will have 90% damage Negation. I think it will let me invincible.

Submit

Tf is “ etc...” in the list of temporary buffs supposed mean??

Submit

Here’s an absurd combination of buff stacking. Put Braggart’s Roar on a blood infused Venomous Fang. Have the Thorny Cracked Tear as one of your wonderous physick buffs and the Faith Knot is a good second option if you want to keep your faith down to 15. Buff with the Golden Vow incantation, then Flame Grant Me Strength. Have the Lord of Blood’s Exultation and Kindred of Rot Exultation equipped along with Millicent’s Prosthesis and the Rotten Winged Sword Insignia. With all of these buffs going you can get a 3.62x multiplayer on all your physical damage

Submit

I'm going to say it. There are way too many buffs. Why is half of the damage and defense in this game from utility and not stats like weapon scaling and heavier armor negations? Considering almost all the buffs are from consumables or low requirement spells it just feels bad. Practically any build can either mukbang or spend at most a few dozen level points into stat requirements and Mind and all of a sudden the new "optimal play-style" is sitting back for 15 seconds spamming buffs.

Don't get me wrong I think buffs can be really cool, but become tedious as hell when there are too many. Sure you don't "have to" use a bunch of buffs, but the numerical difference is wider than the stomach of someone who just consumed half of the crafting pouch menu.

Also, doing almost a full 180 here, but why does the Flask of Wondrous Physick have so many Tears that DON'T stack with other buffs? It's supposed to be it's own unique and limited buff. It just feels really limiting which sucks since in my personal opinion it is one of the more fair and least tedious forms of buffs.

I love FromSoft's games, but they aren't nearly as good when it comes to player stats as they are with everything else that they do.

Submit

It starts at demons souls, now looks like that episode of overlord where Ainz fight the vampire girl.

Submit

Gigahost grindset:

1. buff yourself with flame, grant me strength (it has the lowest duration so that comes first)
2. next up switch to your golden vow dagger (you'll need this to fat roll)
3. always forget to use your wondrous physick (this is important for later)
4. fgms should have expired by this point, but overwrite it with something useless like black flame's protection for good measuee
5. walk into the arena and try to drink your wondrous physick (buff charge attack and buff consecutive attack for maximum nonsense) which you forgot earlier
6. immediately die during the drinking animation
7. respawn, summon someone else to annoy

Submit

useless outside of gimmick builds. all that time ur wasting re-applying flame grant me strength could be used on building up the stance bar on the boss. buffs only exist to make people with mid builds think they're doing good damage

Submit

Anyone know if stormhawk deenh will stack with roar talisman ?

Submit

Uplifting Aromatic's page says it lasts 40 seconds, but this page says 60 seconds.

Submit

If I have a weapon that causes bleeding plus use sepuku and blood grease, does it all stack

Submit

What about seppuku, or the similar madness and poison ones where you dmg yourself and get buffed? It’s a key part of the one shot builds but mentioned nowhere on this page.

Submit

I’m ignorant but monk hammer grants you a buff to your attack. Shouldn’t it be here in this section?

Submit

Just tried it and unfortunately Cleanrot Knight Finlay's buff is both a regen buff and a body buff, and therefore does not stack with other of its type (blessing of the erdtree will cancel the healing part of the ashes buff).

Submit

Shouldn’t turtle shell shield be included in stamina regen?

Submit

Ritual shield talisman effect at full health appears to count as a body buff. Can someone else please confirm?

Submit

ritual shield talisman buff at full health counts as a body buff. Will test to see if same is true for blue feathered branch sword.

Submit

Comet azur buff routine for max dmg (without debuffs)
1. Howl of shabriri (25%) 40 secs
2. Commanders standard (20%) 30 secs
3. White mask, lord of bloods exaltation + seppuku to about 25% hp (30%) 20 secs
4. Mushroom crown, kindred of rots exultation + raw meat dumpling (30%) 20 secs
5. Unequip all items exept staff, jellyfish shield, azurs glintstone crown (15%), and talismans
6. Contagious fury (20%) 30 secs
7. Terra magica (35%) 30 secs
8. Graven-school talisman (4%), graven-mass talisman (8%), magic scorpion charm (10%), red feathered branch sword (20%)
9. Physic flask (Cerulean hidden tear [Infinite FP] 15 secs, magic shrowding cracked tear [15%] 180 secs)

Total of about a 805% dmg buff
(Specifically a 805.22951446% buff)

Submit

so if im not mistaken, i should be able to power stance 2 weapons with braggart roar on one and endure on the other and neither should cancel?

Submit

Spell weapon buffs aren't very good without the raw infusion, unless you like double dipping into multiple stats

Submit

why isn't any of the black flame effects listed here?

Submit

It mentions that Sacred Order stops Skeletons from reviving, but doesn't say it on Sacred Blade. But I assure you that not only will the projectile not let them revive if it kills, but they also will not revive if killed while your weapon is still buffed from the AoW either.

Submit

You guys need to add law of causality here I think.
