Starscourge Build | Elden Ring Wiki
Starscourge is a Build for Elden Ring. It is a Strength build for level 150-200, built around Starscourge Greatsword and its skill Starcaller Cry.
Why Play the Starscourge Build in Elden Ring
A Strength Build that uses the Starscourge Greatsword and its devastating weapon skill: Starcaller Cry.
Starcaller Cry should be used on large groups of enemies since it has a huge AoE radius, and can often one shot weaker enemies. Make sure you use the follow up attack to finish off tougher to kill enemies, since it does far more damage than the cry itself.
Starscourge Build Requirements
To use everything in this build you need at least 38 Strength, 15 Intelligence, 12 Dexterity. Anything above those numbers goes into damage and survivability rather than meeting requirements.
| Weapon | Type | Requires | Scaling | Weight | Skill | Passive |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Starscourge Greatsword | Colossal Sword | Strength 38, Dexterity 12, Intelligence 15 | STR D / DEX D / INT E | 20.0 | Starcaller Cry | |
| Sacrificial Axe | Axe | Strength 16, Dexterity 10 | STR D / DEX D | 5.5 | Wild Strikes |
Starscourge Build Gear
The way this Build works is that you'll use Sacrificial Axe in your offhand and Starscourge Greatsword in your right. When you dual wield the Starscourge Greatsword, since it's a paired weapon, you will still technically have the Axe equipped, which will provide you 4 FP every time you kill an enemy. This allows you to use Starcaller Cry more liberally, which is great.
Jump Attacks can be used on lone enemies or on Bosses that you struggle to perform Starcaller Cry against. Remember to start the cry when bosses are just on the edge of the AoE to give you time to pull off the follow up attack without being interrupted. Your armor does have good Poise, but some bosses hit really hard.
