4. Enchanted Warrior Build (Glinstone Staff)

This is very different from Elden Ring Runes our previous swordsman build because this one does not use any weapons at all, we are only using double staff and only casting weapon-like sorceries. So we apply Carrion Slicer, Carrion Piercer, Adula's Moonblade, but also the magic bow and the magic great bow, because those are actual weapons too. So they are permitted but nothing else. There's a certain thrill in knowing you're not carrying any actual melee weapons nor Shields, all your attacks are spell based and therefore your playstyle really needs to adapt. The optimal setup here is dual-wielding Carian Glintstone staves for a 30% damage boost to all sword spells. But if you don't have two of them then you can also use the Carrion Regal Scepter, Azur's staff, or Lusat staff. Our preferred setup is the Carian Glintstone Staff with the Azur's staff because speed is very important here since we have no melee weapons. You can get some mean combos with these spells, an Adula's Moonblade into Carrion Slicer, the Magic Hammer followed up by Carrion Piercer, that's a double knockdown - you slap the enemy once and come back with the backhand and you slap again.
