Elden Ring's version 1.06 unveiled. Check out what's new!

Elden Ring's version 1.06 has been released. It seems to have weakened the Rivers of Blood and Corpse Piler. Now, players would have to look at other options to benefit from Blood Loss. However, the update has weakened the effect of Rivers of Blood and Corpse Piler.

The Corpse Piler was a go-to for the players, who loved the Blood Loss effect. One of the most potent status effects, you could use Blood Loss or Bleed to destroy the most powerful bosses in the game.

Players would have to look at other options to benefit from Blood Loss as Rivers of Blood has weakened.


Elden Ring has several options, regarding Ash of War and weapons. The players can have a powerful Bleed build through the other options.


You can trigger Blood Loos when you build up the Bleed meter on your target. As the meter fills, the result is the loss of a big chunk of health.

Your meter will increase with every hit as you use the Bleed-infused weapon. It would be best if you considered an agile and faster weapon to build Bleed.



Curved swords and katanas are your best choices for Bleed-infused builds. Almost all the katanas have a build-up of Bleed by default in Elden Ring. You can enhance your katana by adding Ash of War to it, allowing you to scale your weapon with Arcane.

Power-stance or dual-wielding is essential to your build's effectiveness. It allows you to speed up the filling of the bleed meter. However, you would have to go NG+ if you get the same two weapons.

Nagakiba and Uchigatana are the best katanas for builds of Bleed. The Samurai class's starting weapon is Uchigatana. You can alternatively get it from Limgrave, Catacombs.

On the other hand, once you progress to Yura's coastline, you can get the Nagakiba. You can also obtain the Scavenger's Curved Sword for a good build from Mt. Gelmir. It is an excellent alternative due to its low requirements and perfect arcane scaling.



You get many Ashes of War for exciting and unique weaponry skills. However, you will only find a few uses for a Bleed build. Bloody Slash and Seppuku are the most powerful Ashes of War.
