Elden Ring - STRONGEST Tanking Build

Daniel details a defensive Elden Ring build: roughly 1,400–1,500 HP, 50–60 strength, heavy armor, endurance, guard-counter talismans, and Barricade Shield. Testing shows exceptional physical protection: Visage Shield blocks Beast Clergyman’s relentless combos, while Blue-Feathered Branch Sword mitigates low-health damage. Maliketh exposes the weakness: magical attacks penetrate blocking; talisman changes and Magic Fortification still leave heavy damage and few potions.

This continues his shift from dodge-focused frustration toward methodical tanking, while acknowledging that no build eliminates Elden Ring’s difficulty.
