Elden Ring has a wide variety of status effects that can be triggered by weapons, spells, and abilities. A powerful status effect often used by players, especially those who participate in player-vs-player battles, is Hemorrhage, also commonly known as the Bleeding Effect.
Attacking enemies with weapons that slowly fill a bleed bar with each hit, once full the enemy will take a percentage of damage equal to their max health. In general, blood weapons can lead to combat Elden Ring very easy for players and those new to soul style games as many enemies are vulnerable to it and few are immune. With so many blood weapons to use, only a few are truly ranked as the best.
10 Uchigatana
When playing as the Samurai class, players automatically start with the Uchigatana, a simple katana that can cause a small amount of bleeding. It still deals a decent amount of physical damage with a base total of 115 allowing players to hold their own against novice enemies.
Those who chose not to play as samurai can still get their hands on this weapon, as it can be found on a body in the Deathtouched Catacombs in Stormhill. The weapon also has its own Unsheath ability, which deals an extra bit of damage.
9 thorny whip
As one of the lightest weapons on the list, this weapon not only keeps the player’s weight down, making it easier to move around. It’s also something for players to try if they’re looking for a different approach to fighting.
The Thorned Whip does an astonishing 102 points of physical damage in addition to the usual bleed effect, and also has the skill kick that allows a player to knock an enemy back. Requiring only 8 in strength and 16 in agility, players should be able to use this weapon early on after collecting it from potential Fire Prelate drops.
8 moon veil
Moonveil is an interesting weapon that deals a combination of magical and physical damage, in addition to the bleeding effect. It also has the Transient Moonlight ability, which allows the user to shoot a wave of light forward when the weapon is detached.
With so many other things this little katana can do, the bleeding effect takes a backseat to its usefulness. Those who want to use this sword of the night light will have to defeat the Magma Wyrm boss who is located in the Gael Tunnel, which will not be an easy fight.
7 Meteoric Ore Sheet
Like Moonveil, the Meteoric Ore Blade does a combination of magic and physical attacks. However, its base damage is much higher than the other katana, making it a much more valuable attempt to obtain. Not to mention gravity, which draws enemies towards the player.
It’s also a lot easier to find as the sword can be tracked to a treasure chest in the Caelid Waypoint ruins. Although it requires the player to have 15 strength, 14 dexterity and 18 intelligence which makes it impossible to handle early game.
6 winged scythe
Gamers hoping to focus on a built-in belief Elden Ring might want to pick up the winged scythe, which is a Reaper weapon that has a lot to offer. Since the scythe can be found at the Tombsward Ruins, players can pick up this scythe as soon as they start the game.
However, due to the high stat requirements in not only faith, but also agility and strength, it may take a while before this angelic scythe can be used. It also has an interesting ability called Angel’s Wings, which interrupts the use of recoveries.
5 Eleanor’s stick sword
This double blade is arguably one of the most beautiful weapons on this list, damaging enemies with both physical and fire hits in addition to the blood loss it causes. This makes Eleonora’s Poleblade incredibly useful against unarmored enemies.
In addition to the main damage, the blade also has a high level of evasion caused by the Bloodblade dance ability that allows the player to attack with a tornado of attacks before the enemy can get another blow. It can be found by defeating Eleonora in the Second Church of Marika.
4 hook claws
Easily accessible and simple to use, the Hookclaws may not seem like much at first. However, their speed makes them by far one of the best weapons in the world Elden Ring to be used if you hope to build up blood loss quickly.
Found on a body in Stormveil Castle, this weapon can be equipped with either hand at the beginning due to the low number of stats it needs. Hookclaws and Raptor Claws are both commonly used within PVP because of how quickly players can get hits before retreating.
3 The Wheel of Ghiza
Ghiza’s Wheel is made for players hoping to do a lot of damage while focusing on building strength. As a colossal weapon, the character needs a lot of points for strength, 28 to be exact, and then 18 points for agility before they can wield this spinning blade. After defeating Phantom Inquisitor Ghiza in the Volcano Manor, players will have this weapon in their possession.
It is known not only for its lethal amount of physical damage, but also for its exclusive Spinning Wheel ability. A player knocks the wheel to the ground to make it spin, then can slowly push the wheel toward enemies in front of them to deal extreme damage.
2 Morgott’s Cursed Sword
Primarily through agility and secrecy, Morgott’s Cursed Sword is a curved greatsword with a lot of potential for those looking to not only deal damage but also increase their bleeding effect.
It can be purchased from Finger Reader Enia at the Roundtable Hold, using Remembrance of the Omen King, this is dropped after you defeat him. The unique ability of Morgott’s Cursed Sword Cursed-Blood Slice not only inflicts further damage, but also increases the bloodless effect of bleeds, making it a brutal and gory weapon to swing around.
1 Rivers of Blood
With blood in the weapon’s title, it’s no surprise that the Rivers of Blood katana is the best blood weapon players can find and use. This weapon also inflicts physical damage and incendiary damage with each blow, this is a weapon that many enemies don’t want to cross swords with.
Can inflict further damage during his unique ability, Corpse Piler, which cuts forward twice and deals further fire and physical damage, as well as the amount of blood lost. Once he gets it from Bloody Finger Okina, who invades near the Church of Repose, the player will never want to put the knife down again.
Elden Ring is available on PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.
