There are countless weapon arts in Elden Ring, so we’ve chosen to put together a summary of some of our favorites in the Lands Between.

Want to understand Elden Ring weapon arts? Most of the armaments in Elden Ring have a unique weapon art, which functions just like skills in Dark Souls III. Weapon arts give players additional action on the armament, which range from performing a lunge attack to summoning lightning to fight nearby enemies. These skills can drastically affect the way you approach enemies, and also the weapon scaling could be altered to match your most used stat points.

Many weapons include default weapon arts, however, you can use Elden Ring Ashes of War to alter the skill of all weapons. Some of the best Elden Ring weapons include unique – and powerful – weapon skills that can’t be changed. It’s important too to note that particular Ashes of War are only able to be used on specific kinds of equipment. Picking the right weapon art is essential to perfecting your Elden Ring build, providing you with the upper hand against Elden Ring bosses.
