Elden Ring DLC Build Guide: The Claws of Night Pure Dexterity Build

Hello everyone, back with another exciting Elden Ring DLC build guide. Today we're going to be diving into a pure agility build that revolves around the incredible Claws of Night. These claws boast some insane damage output, and with the right setup, you can easily stun enemies and deal some serious damage. If you're looking to maximize your potential even further, consider ways to enhance your resources—maybe you want to buy Elden Ring Runes to upgrade your gear or stock up on useful items. So, let's break it down!

Weapon Choice: Claws of Night

First things first, if you haven’t tried the Claws of Night yet, you're in for a treat. These weapons excel in dexterity scaling, offering 200 more AR than the Raptor Talons with the same stat spread. It's no joke when it comes to damage. But what makes these claws even better? The ability to chain consecutive attacks, which is where the Consecutive Attack Talisman comes in.

Key Talisman:

· Consecutive Attack Talisman: This boosts your damage after consecutive attacks, allowing you to punish enemies with devastating combos.

· Shard of Alexander: This talisman is a must for boosting your Ash of War (Scatter Shot) damage. You’ll be using this to really blow your opponents away, especially when you trigger blood loss procs.

· UR Favor +2: Not absolutely necessary, but if you're not wearing heavy armor, it can help boost your overall stats, particularly poison defense.

Ash of War: Scatter Shot

The Scatter Shot ash of war is an absolute beast with the Claws of Night. It's fantastic for stunning enemies, punishing their heals, or just dealing massive long-range damage. If you get a blood loss proc during the ash, you’ll be laughing at how much damage you just did. Trust me, it’s hilarious to watch opponents crumble under the pressure.

Stat Distribution: Pure Dexterity

As a pure dexterity build, you'll want to pump all your stats into dexterity to maximize the Claws of Night’s potential. The only other stat you need to focus on is strength, but only enough to wield any other weapons you might choose for backup. If you’re only using the Claws of Night, you can get by with a base strength of 8. Keep your dexterity as high as possible to boost your damage.

Recommended Stat Spread:

· Dexterity: Max it out to get the best damage possible from the Claws of Night.

· Strength: 8 (just enough for your weapon needs).

· Endurance: This will help you manage stamina and wear armor comfortably.

· Vigor: Make sure to have enough to survive in PvP or PvE situations, especially when you're getting up close and personal.

Armor Setup: Solitude Set

Since the Claws of Night are lightweight, you don’t need to rely on heavy armor. Instead, I recommend the Solitude Set, which provides high defense while keeping you agile and light on your feet. This allows you to dodge, roll, and reposition without being weighed down by heavier armor options.

Invasion Gameplay:

The build really shines in PvP (invasions, to be specific). Here’s how it works:

· Fast Attacks and Stuns: With the Claws of Night, you can mash into enemies and stun them before they even have a chance to activate hyper armor frames. The damage output from consecutive light attacks is insane.

· Punishing Healers: When you catch an enemy trying to heal, hit them with Scatter Shot. If they’re close enough, they’ll likely be stunned, giving you a perfect opportunity to go for the kill.

· Versatile Playstyle: You can throw out quick light attacks, use L2 for some range with the claws, and throw in heavy attacks when you need to add more damage.

Example PvP Moments:

· Against Nagas and Great Katanas: Even though Nagas are powerful, the Claws of Night can easily stun them with the Consecutive Attack Talisman. The quick L2 attacks make it hard for enemies to retaliate.

· Stunning Healers: In one of the invasions, I ran into an enemy who kept trying to heal—well, Scatter Shot and a quick bleed proc ended that quickly.

· Dual-Weapon Fights: Whether you’re facing colossal weapons or great swords, the speed and bleed buildup from the Claws can often outpace their slower, heavier attacks. Combine that with your quick stamina regen and you’ve got a winning formula.

Final Thoughts:

This pure dexterity Claws of Night build is all about fast, overwhelming pressure. If you love mashing your enemy with tons of consecutive attacks, stunning them with ease, and dealing massive damage from long-range with Scatter Shot, then this is the build for you. With the right talismans, your damage output can easily overwhelm enemies in both PvP and PvE. The Claws of Night are simply too good to ignore, and when paired with this dexterity-focused setup, you’ll be a force to be reckoned with.
