Best Strength Weapons in Elden Ring & Where to Find Them

In Elden Ring, players will come across various weapons that scale better for specific attributes. Players running a Strength-based build often wonder where to find weapons that will have the best Strength scaling to deal powerful damage. The following list features some of the best Strength scaling weapons, along with map references for where to find them.

Prelate’s Inferno Cozier

The Prelate Inferno Cozier can be acquired by defeating the foe inside Fort Laiedd located east of the Seethwater Terminus Site of Grace at Mt. Gelmir. To wield this weapon, you will need to level up the Strength attribute to 45, and Dexterity to 8. The weapon's special attack Prelate's Charge costs 6 FP but allows players to perform a powerful attack. Players can add Ashes of War to this weapon, and we recommend choosing the Heavy affinity. This will raise the weapon's Strength scaling to A, making it one of the best picks for Strength builds.

Grafted Blade Greatsword

The Grafted Blade Greatsword can be acquired by defeating Leonine Misbegotten at Morne Moangrave Site of Grace in Castle Morne. To wield this weapon, players will need to have the Strength attribute at 40, and Dexterity at 16. This weapon doesn't have any Passive Effects, and cannot be equipped with Ashes of War, but its Unique Skill Oath of Vengeance raises all attributes for a certain duration. Grafted Blade Greatsword +10 has a B star scaling for Strength, making it a brilliant choice for Strength builds.

Starscourge Greatsword

The Starscourge Greatsword can be acquired by defeating General Radahn at Redmane Castle. Players can use the Remembrance of the Starscourge at Finger Reader Enia in Roundtable Hold to purchase the Starscourge Greatsword. You will need to have the Strength attribute at 38, Intelligence at 15, and Dexterity at 12 to wield this weapon. Although this weapon doesn't have any Passive Effects, and cannot be equipped with Ashes of War, its Unique Skill Starcaller Cry is exceedingly powerful. When used, it brings two swords together to pull enemies closer with a gravitational wave that deals damage. Players can add additional input to this attack to slam down the gravity-infused swords to deal damage.
