This build destroys every opponent in close combat. Together with the war ash Pantom Slash, quite a few blows are dealt out.
The Skill and Faith build focuses on taking down the enemies in cooperation with the War Ash Phantom Slash. However, powerful invocations are also used in this setup, causing a strong black flame.
This build focuses mainly on the Cross Naginata. The weapon can also be found relatively early in Elden Ring. For this, the players only have to go into the Gael Tunnel, which is located between Caelid and Limgrave. The item can be found on a corpse. Therefore, it is possible to get hold of the spear quite early in Elden Ring.

Players:inside can also fall back on the weapon Nagakiba. However, with this sword, it is not possible to use the Phantom Slash war ash. However, this ability can cause some surprises. The phantom attacks just before the character and always in the direction of the intended target. In contrast, the players can direct their own strike in a different direction.
Before this, the weapon should be provided with some buffs so that even more bleeding damage is dealt out. For this, the invocation Bloodflame Blade is used, which wraps the spear in a red flame. If, on the other hand, the enemies are immune to blood damage, the players can also use the Black Flame Blade or cause damage from a distance with the other invocations.
Set-up values
With this setup the focus should be mainly on skill and faith. Both the Nagakiba and the Cross-Naginata scale on skill. To be able to wield these weapons, however, a high value in this attribute is not needed. Therefore, the Cross-Naginata is already suitable in the early game. Nevertheless, the damage scales with the attribute and is constantly increased.
