Frostbite is one of the most devastating status effects in Elden Ring, and few things can make better use of it than a Frost Mage. By using cold sorcery, you can create a very powerful build.

Let's give the Lands Between the cold shoulder. This is the best Frost Mage build in Elden Ring.

The best starting class for the Frost Mage build in Elden Ring is the Astrologer, though every starting class will eventually reach this point. This build is set to level 150, though any level higher or lower can reach this point without any issues.

Cold Spells, a subschool of Sorcery, only use Intelligence as a requirement in Elden Ring. You can get away with pushing your Intelligence past the soft cap of 60 and reaching the Sorcerer endgame—80 Intelligence—unless you want to invest a ton of stats into getting the Frost Dragon Breaths. Cold Sorceries only require a minimum of 36 to cast them all, though, so if you want to mix this into a battle mage build, it’s not too difficult.
