Every-Way Warrior

Author: **ScarHydreigon87**

Greetings, Convergent Tarnished. In this Elden Ring, the Convergence Build guide, I’m gonna be showcasing my Every-Way Warrior build, which is a Level 150 Quality build that can utilize a wide array of weapons. If you wanna do a melee build but don’t know which weapon or playstyle to use, then this guide is for you.

## Build Overview

Pros:

* Strong Overall Damage
* Incredibly Versatile and fits a variety of playstyles
* Passive HP regen
* Easily accessible weapons and armor
* Easy overall setup

Cons:

* No access to magic or any weapons with INT/FTH/ARC
* Stamina-hungry depending on weapon choices
* Very expensive if you plan on using and upgrading many different weapons
* Some armor sets have lower poise

The overall setup for this build is pretty easy, as we don’t need to get any specific armor, weapons, or spell runes. For your starting class, pick either the Retainer or Vanguard class, and whatever starting gift you like.

You can easily access a strong weapon in the Osain’s Greatsword. You can loot it from a chest in a camp north of the Agheel Lake North Site of Grace. Another strong weapon is the Reaver’s Odachi, which you can loot from Fort Farroth in Caelid where Radagon’s Soreseal was in Vanilla. Both are excellent Unique Quality weapons. Whichever weapon you choose to wield, follow my guide to easily get a maxed out weapon.

Kill Greyoll for the runes, and split them between Vigor, Endurance, Strength and Dexterity. After that, it’s pretty much smooth sailing from there.

## Starting class & Attributes Progression

This build is optimized for Level 150, but you can take this to 200 if you wish.

## Equipment

For your armor, you can technically use whatever armor you please as long as you have decent poise and can mid-roll. The default armors for the Retainer and Vanguard are fine choices, as are the Scaled Armor and Ronin sets.

For my armor, I’m using :

* Black Hood
* Altered Night’s Cavalry Chest
* Altered Night's Cavalry Gauntlets
* Altered Night's Cavalry Legs

This not only is good fashion, but it helps reduce weapon stamina costs and increases overall weapon damage, and the hood will give us +2 Dexterity, a small bit of stamina recovery, and a bit of extra critical damage.

* The Black Hood can be bought from Patches once he moves to the Scenic Isle in Liurnia
* Night’s Cavalry set from defeating the 2 Night’s Cavalry in the Consecrated Snowfield
* The Knight set can be bought from the Twin Maiden Husks at the Roundtable Hold or started with the Retainer class
* The Vanguard set comes by default with the Vanguard class or looted from the bridge connecting Stormveil to Liurnia
* The Ronin set can be looted off Shabriri by the Zamor Ruins
* The Scaled Armor can be found in Redmane Castle Plaza just up the stairs and to the right

Your weapon choices are entirely up to you and dependant on your playstyle, but here are some of my recommendations :

* Powerstanced greatswords
* Greatsword
* Grave Scythe
* Executioner’s Greataxe
* Nagakiba
* Cross-Naginata
* Greataxe
* Reaver’s Odachi
* Osian’s Greatsword
* Bloodhound’s Fang
* Sigur’s Greatmace
* War Scythe
* Powerstanced Great Stars
* Axe of Rust
* Greatshield with Guard Counters
* Powerstanced Curved Swords
* Palm Ax Twinblades
* Omen Cleaver
* Great Omenkiller Cleavers
* Nightrider Glaive

Keep in mind that some weapons will actually perform better when set to Keen or Heavy compared to Quality.

## Spirit Ashes

This build doesn't need any Spirit Ashes, so either choose one as you like or do not use it at all
