Elden Ring Hand-to-Hand combat - How to Build an ICE STOMP Monk Build (Shadow of the Erdtree Build)

Dry Leaf Arts uses cold Divine Beast Frost Stomp with Shattered Stone, Godfrey, Ritual Sword, and Alexander talismans. He says frostbite, fast attacks, AoE damage, and frequent staggering defeated Midra more easily than his fire build. Dragon’s Pit testing cleared groups but exposed FP shortages, missed staggers, deaths, and a magma boss beyond the build’s damage.

He favors overwhelming stagger-based damage, but this test exposes cold’s limits against large bosses.
