Meet Alex, a competitive PvP player who wants to create a powerful Level 125 Strength/Faith hybrid build for Elden Ring’s Colosseum matches. Alex has limited Larval Tears for respecs and wants to optimize every stat point to create a versatile character that can handle both melee combat and incantations effectively.
Alex needs a calculator to:
- Plan stat distribution for optimal damage output
- Balance equipment load to maintain medium roll
- Ensure enough FP for essential incantations
- Maximize poise to withstand attacks in PvP

Interpretation
This build achieves an excellent balance between survivability and damage output. With 50 Vigor, Alex reaches the soft cap for HP, ensuring they can withstand powerful attacks in PvP. The 40 Strength and 30 Faith provide strong scaling for both the Blasphemous Blade and incantations.
The 71 poise allows Alex to hyper-armor through smaller weapons without being staggered. The medium roll provides good mobility while the Tree Sentinel Set offers solid defense. The talisman selection optimizes equip load, damage output, and skill effectiveness.
The FP pool of 100 is sufficient for several incantations without needing to frequently use Flask of Cerulean Tears in combat.
Lesson / Next Step
This Strength/Faith hybrid build is excellent for players who want versatility in PvP. The combination of strong melee attacks with supportive and offensive incantations makes it adaptable to various opponents.
Who should use this build:
- Players who enjoy both melee and spellcasting
- Those who want high survivability in PvP
- Players who can manage multiple buffs in combat
- Those looking for a build that performs well in both duels and invasions
Next steps: Test the build in the calculator, adjust armor pieces to fine-tune poise and defenses, and practice the buff rotation (Golden Vow followed by Flame Grant Me Strength) before engagements.

How to Calculate Elden Ring Build
Step 1 — Pick the base
Choose Starting Class and any Global Settings (example: Two-Handed on, Great Rune, Flask/tears).
This fills the calculator with base values (your example: Vagabond — Level 9).
Step 2 — Set target attributes
Increase or decrease the seven attributes (Vigor, Mind, Endurance, Strength, Dexterity, Intelligence, Faith, Arcane) by typing values or using the +/- controls.
Watch Runes to Next Level and Total Runes Spent update as you plan levels.
Step 3 — Equip gear & talismans
Choose weapons, armor and up to four talismans (or leave slots empty). The calculator will recalc Equip Load, Roll Category, Poise, etc., to show how your choices affect playstyle.
Step 4 — Review derived stats and finalize
Check Derived Stats (HP, FP, Stamina, Equip Load, Roll Category, Discovery, Poise). If something looks off, use Reset Stats to start again or tweak attributes/gear until the build fits your goal.
Example (using your current inputs)
- Starting Class: Vagabond (Level 9)
- Current Level: 9 · Runes to Next Level: 829 · Total Runes Spent: 5,856
- Attributes (current): Vigor 15 · Mind 10 · Endurance 11 · Strength 14 · Dexterity 13 · Intelligence 9 · Faith 9 · Arcane 7
- Derived Stats (current): HP 425 · FP 50 · Stamina 85 · Equip Load 46 · Roll Category Medium · Poise 0 · Discovery 107
Quick example action: to build a two-handed Strength character, toggle Two-Handed, raise Strength (e.g., 14 → 40) and Endurance (to increase Equip Load), then confirm your roll category and HP/Stamina look right.
