As a status effect in Elden Ring that can cause Bleed to enemies, when enemies are affected by Bleed, they will take damage over time.

Especially when targeting enemies with high health, having a Bleed weapon will be very beneficial. With the right weapon build, it can even become one of the most effective status effects in the game. Today I will introduce you to the top 10 Bleed Weapon Builds in Elden Ring.

10. Morning Star

We start with Number 10 Morning Star. Morning Star is a hammer mainly related to Strength and Dexterity.

This is a powerful weapon that can be obtained early in the game and has blood loss accumulation by default. We can infuse it with Ash of War and have lower status requirements. While it doesn’t have great range, it’s also a reliable Bleed Weapon you can get early in the game.

Combine this with Ash of War: Wild Strikes and you can keep wielding your weapon as long as you have Stamina. This makes it very effective for spamming attacks, causing continuous blood loss to the enemy. You can find Morning Star in a chest inside a broken carriage in Limgrave on this Weeping Peninsula.

9. Bloodstained Dagger

Number 9 is Bloodstained Dagger. Bloodstained Dagger mainly scales with Strength and Dexterity, making it an excellent weapon for short-range melee combat.

It is fast and can cause the enemy to bleed out. Combine this with Ash of War: Golden Vow in the left hand and Ash of War: Bloody Slash in the right hand, making it one of my favorite DPS weapons for inflicting blood loss on enemies.

This weapon can destroy Mohg, Lord of Blood, so quickly that he has no chance to recover health during the battle. Bloodstained Dagger is a rare weapon dropped by Demi-Human Chief, located on the wooden bridge leading to Minor Erdtree on Weeping Peninsula.

8. Grave Scythe

Number 8 is Grave Scythe. Grave Scythe is a Reaper with Strength and Dexterity as its main scaling.

It has blood loss accumulation by default, can be infused with Ash of War, and buffed with magic and consumables. Therefore, you need to get enough consumables using Elden Ring Runes in advance before using this weapon to build.

This makes it very effective for spamming attacks, causing blood loss to the enemy. Skeleton Mages who hold it in the graveyard west of Lake-Facing Cliffs Site of Grace drops this weapon.

7. Reduvia

Number 7’s Reduvia is a dagger, mainly related to Strength, Dexterity, and Arcane. This weapon has a weapon skill called Reduvia Blood Blade.

Using this skill, you can launch blood stains from your dagger into the air, causing the enemy to bleed out. Although the throwing range is relatively short, it is still good to use outside the melee range of most enemies. Reduvia Dagger is dropped by Bloody Finger Nerijus, and the invaders need to go to Murkwater Catacombs.

6. Morgott’s Cursed Sword

Number 6 is Morgott’s Cursed Sword. This is a handful of Curved Greatswords, mainly related to Strength, Dexterity, and Arcane.

This weapon has a weapon skill called Cursed-Blood Slice. Using this skill, you charge forward, perform a wide slice attack, leave a trail, and then cause a flame explosion. Attacking can cause more damage and increase blood loss.

What I like about this skill is that the burst of flame explosion also breaks the enemy poise, allowing you to follow up with the attack. Especially when dealing with human-sized enemies like Malenia. Morgott’s Cursed Sword can be obtained by trading Remembrance of the Omen King from Finger Reader Enia in Roundtable Hold.

5. Bloodhound’s Fang

Number 5 is Bloodhound’s Fang. Bloodhound’s Fang is a handful of Curved Greatswords, mainly related to Strength and Dexterity.

This weapon has a weapon skill called Bloodhound’s Finesse. With this skill, you can use the momentum of your attack to perform a backflip, followed by a powerful attack to perform a Bloodhound’s Step on the enemy.

4. Mohgwyn’s Sacred Spear

Number 4 is Mohgwyn’s Sacred Spear. This is a Great Spear that mainly scales with Strength and Dexterity.

With Bloodboon Ritual weapon skill, you can perform a series of rapid slashes that deal bleed damage. Weapon skills also leave a trail of blood around you, which is very effective against powerful enemies, like dragons or against groups of enemies. This weapon can be obtained by trading Remembrance of the Blood Lord with Enia at Roundtable Hold.

3. Scavenger’s Curved Sword

Number 3 is Scavenger’s Curved Sword. It mainly related this weapon to Strength and Dexterity. This weapon causes increased blood loss by default, can be infused with Ash of War, and has lower weapon requirements. Even if you infuse the weapon with other effects like Frost or Poison, this can make this weapon a splendid choice for a blood build.

Combined with Ash of War: Seppuku, and selecting Occult as the main weapon affinity, it accelerates blood loss injection. There’s no doubt that you can inject bleeding into your enemies almost instantly. You can find Scavenger’s Curved Sword at Mt Gelmir. It is located on a corpse near Site of Grace, northwest of First Mt. Gelmir Campsite.

Using Corpse Piler weapon skill, you can perform up to 6 consecutive attacks, causing blood loss to accumulate. This is a powerful skill, but it also consumes a lot of stamina. Therefore, it is highly recommended to wear or eat items that can increase the speed of physical recovery.
