Updated on October 6, 2024, by Hamza Haq: With the release of the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC and the introduction of new weapons, spells, and ashes of war, there's a whole new series set up for Elden Ring players to sink their teeth into. If you have not received the same love as the magic incantation in the Shadow RealmINT builds don't have to rely on flashy spellcasting to work. The list has been updated with two new builds from the SotE DLC.
9 Power/Intelligence Hybrid
Using The Ruins Greatsword 
This build doesn't remove as much hard intelligence as other builds, but it's still worth it. The weapon used is the Ruins Greatsword, thanks to the powerful Ash of War. Swords have high strength and scale especially with this stat, but also require intelligence to use effectively.
.
Other weapons can be used, such as the Starscourge Greatsword, but the Ruins Greatsword is the best. Haima's Gavel spell can be used to create stronger and more intelligent hybrids due to its function as a giant hammer, as well as its high damage potential.
8 Wing of Astel Mage
Use powerful weapons to tear apart enemies
The wings of Astel it doesn't draw as much attention as some of the other intelligence weapons, but this curved sword can destroy an enemy. The weapon is deceptive, generally has two ashes; one that casts various magic attacks, and one that casts a blur effect in front of the player, dealing AoE damage shortly after.
The Wing of Astel is the main weapon used in this build, but wands and spells can also be used. Since it's still a powerful weapon regardless of Ash of War, some attacks can be useful, and there are many spells that fit that bill.
7 Frost Mage
Sorcery and weapons combine to destroy opponents
Frostbite tends to be overshadowed by the effects of bleeding, but building intelligence can prove that the two can be the same. Adula's Moonblade, Glinstone Icecrag, and Ranni's Dark Moon are the best frost spells available. For these spells, the Carian Regal Scepter should be used, as it is part of the game's scepter, but also raises Ranni's dark moon.

Elden Ring: Low 8 enchantment
With all the wizards found in the Elden Ring, some are invisible. Consider adding these spells to your Tarnished list.
When it comes to weapons, there are a number of effective ones here, such as the Dragonscale Blade, or the Royal Greatsword. However, the Dark Moon Greatsword is the best, the most powerful in building intelligence, and with the Ash of War it can destroy the enemy with ease.
6 Death Mage
Decent magic, but an incredible weapon
This build focuses on using death-related spells, such as the Ancient Death Rancor. The power of this spell can vary, sometimes defeating the opponent easily, but sometimes doing nothing. Along with death spells, the Death Prince Staff should be used to amplify the power of these spells.
The main feature of this build is the Death's Poker, a powerful weapon. Ash of War can destroy enemies and make short work of bosses. It has two functions; places ghostflame around the player, or throws it in an array in front of the player. Ash of War also scales with intelligence, making a powerful weapon.
5 Spellblade Build
Using one of the best weapons in the game
Play as a spellblade is fully alive there Elden Ring due to the power of sorcery combined with powerful weapons. Players can use the most destructive evil spells available, such as the available Glinstone Shard spells, Carian Slicer, Carian Phalanx, Night Comet, or Stars of Ruin.
The strongest part of this build is the powerful weapon, the Moonveil Katana. This weapon has fast movement, deals blood damage, and has a powerful Ash of War that will tear enemies apart. Other weapons can be used, such as the Carian Knight's Sword or the Meteoric Ore Blade, but the Moonveil is the best.
4 Carian Sovereignty
Built around one of the new Ashes from the shadow of the Erdtree
The Carian sovereignty was one of the ashes of the new war from the Shadow of the Erdtree DLCwhich can be obtained from the tear scarab near Manus Metyr Cathedral. This AoW costs 30 FP to cast, with control costing 12 FP. When used, Tarnished creates a large blue magic sword and stabs it in a horizontal line. If pressed again, the ability turns into a horizontal slash that does AoE damage.
Carian Sovereignty is one of the most powerful new spells in the DLC, and building around it is very acceptable for Intelligence builds because its damage scaling is based on Intelligence. character, weapon level and Ash of War introduction. cold or magic infusions are the best for pure damage. Although Carian Sovereignty can be mounted on a variety of weapons, Ash of War is relatively slow, and it's inevitable that the enemy will get a couple of hits in on the player before it starts. skills. To counter this, players can equip the Carian Sovereign with heavy armor, which allows the ability to gain protection from the hyperarmor available on the weapon. Good weapon options include the Great Katana, Claymore, or the Knight's Greatsword, among others.
3 It's cold
Construction of Light Greatsword
the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC brought many new weapons to the Elden Ring players playing together. Milady is a Light Greatsword, a weapon that can be easily obtained at the beginning of the DLC from Castle Ensis, and is one of the available options in the game. As a versatile weapon, Milady is suitable for many different builds, including Intelligence.
Frostbite gets a C scaling in Intelligence, which is worse than the B scaling it gets when added to Magic, but the extra frostbite build is too good to pass up. Stat-wise, Dexterity and Intelligence should be the priority, with some Vigor and Endurance sprinkled in there. The Ash of War: Wing Stance pairs well with this weapon, and combines with Rellana's Cameo.
2 Gravity Mage
Able to defeat enemies in seconds
Although there are powerful weapons that use gravity for their attacks, this build focuses mainly on gravity magic. Smaller spells, such as Rock Sling, are very powerful against enemies, and Rock Sling in particular can stop certain opponents. Staves can be thrown, as the Meteorite Staff increases magic power but cannot be upgraded. Other high quality scepters can be used instead, such as the Death Prince Scepter or the Carian Regal Scepter.
The highlight of using drag magic is the Meteorite of Astel spell, found before Astel's Stars of Darkness variant, not Naturalborn of the Void. When mastered and mastered, this spell can defeat a boss in seconds. Lusat's Glintstone staff is the best choice here because of its scaling, but it increases the FP cost. However, the constant casting of Meteorite of Astel can be added to Cerulean Hidden Tear as part of Wonder Physick, negating the FP cost, which turns Lusat's Glintstone Staff into the best staff in the game. .
1 Comet Azur Glass Canon
The most popular construction
For those who played Elden Ring, they know it Comet Azure is one of the most broken spells in the game, and as a result, is popular in the PvP scene. Creating a house dedicated to this spell is definitely worth it because of the potential for excessive damage.
Comet Azur can be cast continuously until the player runs out of FP, which makes Cerulean Hidden Tear in Wonder Physick valuable, as it negates the FP cost. Lusat's Glintstone Staff and Prince of Death's Staff are the best staffs to use here due to their high levels. Additionally, the Terra Magica spell is very useful due to its ability to increase magic damage. When everything comes together, Comet Azur will melt the bosses in an instant.
