Welcome, Tarnished! This guide is based on Chase the Bro's devastating Consecutive Attack Dexterity Build, designed for the Elden Ring DLC. This build focuses on high-speed, multi-hit weapons that excel at deleting phantoms and hosts quickly—perfect for invasions and PvP, especially for players looking to optimize their setup without the grind by choosing to buy Elden Ring Runes. The core strategy is to isolate a target and unleash rapid, chaining attacks that benefit from consecutive-hit bonuses.

Build Overview

· Primary Stat: Dexterity (as high as possible)

· Playstyle: Aggressive, combo-focused, duelist/invader

· Key Concept: Use weapons with built-in multi-hit attacks and Ash of War abilities to overwhelm opponents. Pair with talismans that boost damage with each consecutive hit.

· Ideal For: Players who enjoy fast-paced combat, roll-catching, and punishing panic rolls.

Recommended Weapons

1. Fox (Curved Sword)

· Class: Curved Sword (dual-wield setup built into the weapon)

· Why It’s Great: Can be one-handed or dual-wielded. Its Ash of War covers massive ground, making it excellent for roll-catching. The follow-up heavy attack deals massive damage when powered by consecutive attack talismans.

· Best Use: Chase down fleeing opponents and punish panic rolls.

2. Sword of Knight

· Class: Greatsword (or similar)

· Why It’s Great: Has one of the most terrifying combos in the game: Ash of War → Heavy Attack. This combo can one-shot phantoms with the right setup.

· Best Use: Burst damage against single targets.

3. URMi (Weapon Type: Likely Katana or Curved Sword)

· Why It’s Great: Features a Heavy Attack → Light Attack combo that deals massive damage. Scales incredibly well with Dexterity.

· Best Use: Sustained pressure and combo extensions.

4. Hand of Millennia

· Why It’s Great: Its Ash of War delivers a flurry of consecutive attacks, dealing tremendous damage. Benefits heavily from this build’s talismans.

· Best Use: Deleting targets caught in the full Ash of War animation.

Talisman Setup

The core of this build revolves around stacking consecutive attack bonuses. Swap talismans based on your primary weapon.

Core Talismans:

1. Consecutive Attack Talisman (Millicent’s Prosthesis / Rotten Winged Sword Insignia): Increases attack power with successive hits.

2. Two-Handed Sword Talisman: Boosts damage of two-handed attacks (great for Sword of Knight’s heavy follow-up).

3. Axe Talisman: Enhances charge attacks (use if relying on charged heavy attacks).

Situational Talismans:

· Shard of Alexander: Use if your main damage comes from an Ash of War (e.g., Sword of Knight’s Ash).

· Swap to Axe Talisman if you’re not using an Ash of War as your primary damage source.

Stats & Attributes

· Level: ~150 (adjustable for your preferred invasion range)

· Vigor: Enough to survive trades (40-60)

· Mind: Enough for 2-3 Ash of War uses (20-30)

· Endurance: For equip load and stamina (25-35)

· Strength: Minimum to wield your chosen weapons

· Dexterity: MAXIMIZE (80+). All recommended weapons have insane Dex scaling.

· Intelligence/Faith/Arcane: Base unless weapon requires it.

Armor & Fashion

· Priority: Poise and defense. You’ll be trading hits, so poise helps you power through attacks.

· Example Set: Solitude Set with Circle of Light helm (as shown in the video).

· Tip: Use the best armor you can while staying at a medium equip load for solid dodges.

Buffs & Consumables

· Uplifting Aromatic: Creates a damage-absorbing bubble and boosts your attack.

· Exalted Flesh: Increases physical attack power.

· Greenburst/Stamina Boosting Items: Help maintain relentless aggression.

· Why: These consumables make one-shot combos more reliable and help you survive ganks.

Gameplay Tips & Strategies

Invasion Mindset:

· Isolate and Eliminate: In 3v1 scenarios, your goal is to pick off a phantom quickly. Use terrain and enemies to split the team.

· Ambush Tactics: Use elevators, tight corridors, and enemy mobs to create advantageous engagements.

Weapon-Specific Tactics:

· Fox: Use the Ash of War to close distance. Follow up with light attacks or the heavy if they panic roll.

· Sword of Knight: Buff up, land the Ash of War, and immediately chain into the heavy attack for a potential one-shot.

· Hand of Millennia: Activate the Ash of War when opponents are cornered or committed to an animation.

· URMi: Utilize the heavy→light combo for high burst damage.

Advanced Techniques:

· Endure Ash of War: Extremely useful against groups (like three colossal sword users). Use Endure to tank a hit, then unleash a full combo.

· Roll-Catching: Many weapons in this build have excellent roll-catching potential. Watch for panic rolls and punish with running attacks or weapon arts.

· Latency Awareness: In high-latency invasions, be cautious with slow attacks. Fast, consecutive weapons are more forgiving.

Countering Common Threats:

· Mages/Comet Azur Users: Use cover, close distance quickly, and pressure. The tree in Crumbling Farum Azula is a great example of using environment.

· Greatshield Users: Sword of Knight’s Ash of War can bypass shields. Alternatively, swap to a weapon with shield-piercing capabilities.

· Light Roll Spammers: Use weapons with wide, tracking attacks (like the Fox’s Ash) to cover their escape routes.

Video Highlights & Lessons

· Against Moonveil Users: The Sword of Knight’s combo can out-trade and one-shot Moonveil spammers. Bait their weapon art, then punish.

· Versus Ganks: Endure + Hand of Millennia’s Ash can turn the tide. Isolate the most aggressive player first.

· Environmental Awareness: Use the map to your advantage—elevators, cliffs, and enemy placements can be leveraged to secure kills or escape.

Final Notes

This build is about pressure and punishment. By stacking consecutive attack bonuses and leveraging weapons with innate multi-hit capabilities, you can delete opponents before they react—especially if you save time on preparation by choosing to buy cheap Elden Ring Items from a trusted marketplace like MMOEXP, which helps you get invasion-ready faster. It’s a high-risk, high-reward playstyle that excels in invasions where quick eliminations are key. Experiment with the talisman swaps, master the combos, and don’t forget your buffs! Whether you’re blending phantoms with the Hand of Millennia or sniping panic rollers with the Fox, this build offers thrilling, high-impact gameplay—perfect for players who want maximum efficiency with minimal downtime, something MMOEXP is well known for. Good luck, Tarnished. Go forth and conquer the Lands Between—one consecutive attack at a time.
