10 Character Builds That Broke Recent Video Games
5. Mohgwyn's Sacred Spear Bandit - Elden Ring
Bleed effects have been infamous across Elden Ring ever since the game's release and, despite multiple attempts by FromSoftware to curb its power through patch updates and nerfs, it is still one of the most overpowered builds available.
The Mohgwyn's Sacred Spear's Bloodboon Ritual weapon skill has the potential to deal up to 10,000 points of damage, which is more than capable of killing bosses without draining all of a player's Focus Points.
What also makes Mohgwyn's Sacred Spear so game-breaking for Bandit classes is the fact it is a piercing weapon, which means it can be used alongside a shield.
There are also immense opportunities for scaling the build the further along a playthrough a player gets, with Elonora's Poleblade and Rivers of Blood becoming more powerful with good investment in Arcane.
The build is obviously not so effective against enemies that don't bleed, but this is still one of the best builds for exploiting one of the most overpowered mechanics in the game. Mohgwyn's Sacred Spear can be found by trading Remembrance of the Blood Lord with Enia after players have defeated Mohg, Lord of Blood.
