With so many new weapons and spells to choose from in Shadow of the Erdtree, it can be tough to pick a new build for the DLC. Sometimes it’s better to stick with what you know, and a powerful Bloodflame Blade build can come in handy in the Land of Shadows.
Elden Ring: Building Agility with Bloodflame Blade is a win button
Bloodflame Blade is an Incantation found in the base game of Elden Ring. You can find it when you enter the second major area: Liurnia. Go to the Rose Church and go northwest to find a Teardrop Scarab in the swamp. Kill it to get the Bloodflame Blade Incantation. While there are new overpowered options in Shadow of the Erdtree, this spell is still worth checking out.
With a requirement of 12 Faith and 10 Arcane, Bloodflame Blade can be cast on your weapon of choice to set it ablaze. These flames deal Fire damage with a bonus bleed buildup. The more you slash with the weapon, coupled with a high Arcane stat, the faster you will cause bleed and cause most enemies to bleed to death.
Now that you know how to obtain the Incantation, we need to convert it into a usable build.
