Elden Ring: The Best Confessor Build

<

The Confessor class is one of the starting options in Elden Ring. Like past FromSoftware games, the class will give players an edge during the early portions of the game, but becomes less relevant further in. Still, a good Confessor build offers a great balance of melee fighting and divine spells no matter at what level.

What sets the Confessor apart from other classes in Elden Ring is the starting equipment. The Broadsword is a well-balanced weapon that players may wield even through mid-game (if not maining for the entire journey). Their Finger Seal allows them access to Incantations very quickly, and their two starting spells of Assassin’s Approach and Urgent Heal lets the Confessor open tough fights with an ambush and recover quickly, respectively.

Best Confessor Build Stats for Elden Ring

The nice thing about Confessor builds in Elden Ring is that they start with high Faith, along with balanced Strength and Dexterity. However, their Vigor is a bit low, making it important to boost right away to at least 20 or more. From there, players will want to level up Strength and Dexterity high enough to hold their weapons in either one or two hands, then increase whichever of the two grants more damage to 40. Mind, Endurance, and Faith should be focused on as needed, mostly to meet minimum requirements, allow at least three medium speed rolls, and allow several uses of spells. A good stat spread for a Confessor build in Elden Ring at various milestones includes:

Confessor Builds at Level 30

Confessor Builds at Level 60

Confessor Builds for Level 90

Elden Ring Confessor Build: Weapon and Seal Options

Due to having equal amounts of Strength and Dexterity, players using the best Confessor build in Elden Ring are open to use a mix of swords, daggers, and even bows as their main weapon. Some natural two-handed weapons in Elden Ring are also good options, though using them in just one hand is probably a safer option. A shield can add a good amount of protection when rolling isn’t safe, and a Scared Seal is good in either the left or right hands, mostly depending on the actual spell and if players want to use incantations more while swinging their weapon or while the weapon is sheathed.

After selecting equipment in Elden Ring, it is important to then flesh out the Confessor’s abilities. As they are armed with a Sacred Seal, divine Incantation spells should be a high priority. However, unless one builds up extra mind they will unlikely be an Elden Ring Confessor’s main form of attack. To further assist players, various Ashes of War should be applied to weapons. These not only change scaling, but may also alter weapons or offer a new skill on the equipment. Last, Spirits are very important when playing solo, as many of the summons can distract enemies while contributing good damage.

While all of these equipment and skills are great options, remember to switch them around and be more versatile. Every boss in Elden Ring has various strengths and weaknesses. This makes it very important to not become stubborn and only use the same strategy for each encounter.
