Elden Ring 1.08 Best Arcane Bleed Weapons Ranking & Tier List
Although patch 1.08 didn’t change a major amount of stuff, it did change a couple of Elden Ring Items weapon types for the better and also tried to address a specific weapon really aggressively but didn’t seem to make that much of a change. With this Elden Ring 1.08 Most Powerful Arcane Weapon Tier List, we rank the best highest damage bleed weapons according to the changes in the 1.08 patch.
1 – Reduvia (S Tier)
Daggers have some of the highest burst in the game now due to the massive buff to their moveset, not only do they attack much faster, especially when you’re using power stance versions of them, but they’ve improved the range of them in this patch as well which is incredible. That’s nice in PVE but you never really had major issues there because you just press yourself against a boss on the attack. In PvP, though the daggers were a nightmare to use because it would just be ghostly ineffective, you’d hit someone and it just wouldn’t. Now they’ve improved the hitbox and the range of that you can actually land blows and trade, if someone’s foolish enough to roll around you you’re attacking so fast and the range improvements mean you’re consistently hitting them anyway because there are too many attacks coming out for the iframes the damage especially with a bleed dagger like this is ludicrous. The burst damage and how much you’re actually going to be popping the bleeds are one of the best options in the game now. And this Elden Ring weapon comes with its own Ash of War much like the blood blade attack that the Ash of War exists, this one works the same but it doesn’t cost health to use making it arguably better. They even added this aspect to it, where if you use it at melee range you’ll hit with a dagger at the same time, doubling the AR damage you’ll deal but also doubling the bleed build causing pops even with one use. Now while it doesn’t have insane range on the Ash of War more medium to close range, it does address the other aspect of daggers which is the short-range it still has and it comes out quickly interrupting people who are trying to cast or otherwise. This is honestly one of the strongest options in the game for bursting bosses down that are weak to bleed or spam coming attacks in PvP.
2 – Rivers of Blood (S Tier)
Rivers of Blood is the king of the entire game which was nerfed obviously many times and changed in suspicious and strange ways. Though it is not what it was before, it’s still very strong as a katana – it’s got a great moveset which got base bleed. So it’s always going to be good range as a katana, but the katanas were nerfed slightly having slightly lower Poise in this patch but it’s not a major or real concern, to be honest. The salary of this weapon is still corpse pilot the ash of war has been reduced in terms of the bleed buildup that it can do as well as the damage, but if you are able to hit a melee range and hit with this sword at the same time, you can still get that great damage and bleed build up but it’s a lot less consistent in PvP, where before you could just blindly use the ash of war and kill someone as long as you had a few of the attacks. However, it does have a great range which means it’s good in the arena in this patch, where you’re sneaking up on people who are fighting in a free-for-all or team fight situation. It’s not insane as it once was and you could argue maybe now it’s A high a but we do think it’s one of the best options and the best Arcane options to elden ring items buy this day though, so we still think S tier is where it belongs.
