It’s been a couple of months since Elden Ring released, and those who are still playing FromSoftware’s tough little cookie probably think they are pretty good at it by now.
Yet it often doesn’t matter how good you are at something, there is always someone better. Some players have entered into Elden Ring lore by finishing the game without levelling up and only using light attacks, almost finishing all the bosses without ever taking a hit, and of course the legendary player known as ‘Let Me Solo Her’. However, our latest obsession is Luvonir, a player who designed their character with damage in mind.
One of the better builds we found was this mech build. Check it out in the video below.
Luvonir shared their build which allowed them to tear through both Radagon and the Elden Beast in just 32 seconds combined. The player puts most of their stats into Intelligence, known generally as magic strength, which is maxed out, and Dexterity which increases the speed at which they can cast spells. While not maxed, it is at a highly respectable 70.

Luvonir uses the spell Azur Comet to take down the Elden Beast which is boosted by 15% thanks to Azur’s Glintstone Crown. The Graven-Mass and Graven-School Talismans increase magic attacks by 12% cumulatively and then there is the boost from the Magic Scorpion Charm which increases magic attacks by a further 12%. Luvonir also poison themselves in order to get the 20% boost from Kindred of Rot’s Exultation. This means their magic is almost twice as powerful, melting through the final boss.
More interestingly, is the fact that they take down Radagon with a different physical method. They use the Red-Feathered Branchsword which increases damage by 20% at critically low HP, which Luvonir has to maintain throughout the fight. The shield also boosts attack by 20% for the first 30 seconds, which is luckily enough how long the fight takes. This means they’re doing 1.5x their regular damage output. Ouch!
While the build is powerful, it is built with this pair in mind and wouldn’t work this way on other fights. Still it’s amazing to see what strategies players can come up with.
