From Elden Ring Wiki

Venomous Bloodblade is a Build for Elden Ring. It is a Strength and Dexterity build for level 150, built around Scavenger's Curved Sword and its skill Poisonous Mist.

Why Play the Venomous Bloodblade Build in Elden Ring

A Quality Build that uses Bleed and Poison to boost Attack Power extremely high while dual wielding Curved Swords.

You'll then swing repeatedly with L1, blending enemies down quickly to trigger both Millicent's Prosthesis and Rotten Winged Sword Insignia to further increase your Attack Power, giving you an Attack Rating of well over 1k with each Curved Sword. This allows you to attack rapidly with very high damage, with the occasional Hemorrhage proc, and while the enemy remains Poisoned.

Venomous Bloodblade Build Requirements

To use everything in this build you need at least 14 Dexterity, 11 Strength. Anything above those numbers goes into damage and survivability rather than meeting requirements.

Scavenger's Curved Sword Curved Swords Strength 9, Dexterity 14 STR D / DEX D 3.5 Spinning Slash Hemorrhage 45

How to Play the Venomous Bloodblade Build

The way this Build works is that you'll typically buff your left-hand weapon with Seppuku to increase its Bleed build up and damage and to trigger Lord of Blood's Exultation. Then you'll lead most fights with Poisonous Mist in order to set Poisoned to also boost your Attack Power by 30% thanks to the Mushroom Crown and Kindred of Rot's Exultation.

If enemies are immune to Poisoned and Bleed, you can still trigger Lord of Blood's Exultation repeatedly with Seppuku as necessary and you can use the Raw Meat Dumpling to set Poisoned on yourself to gain Kindred of Rot's Exultation's buff.
