Elden Ring's Shadow of the Erdtree DLC introduced new combat mechanics as well as older mechanics from the Dark Souls series, with one that stood out: the Bloodsucking Cracked Tear, reminiscent of the old Power Within spell.
Elden Ring NEW BEST CRACKED CUT for DAMAGE! – How to Get a Blood Sucking Cracked Crack – Complete Guide
As powerful as the Cracked Tear is, you need to know how to build with it.
The Bloodsucking Cracked Tear build we chose is more of a caster-centric build in Elden Ring. If you've been running a melee build, you might want to use a Larval Tear to respec your character before starting here.
Since this build relies on boosting Incantations, Faith is the most important stat. Invest up to 40 points before switching to Vigor for survivability. 50 Vigor should be enough to withstand most attacks, while 30 Endurance is enough to maintain a moderate loadout of armor. Once you've gained these points, invest more points into Faith until it reaches the 80 soft cap.
