  • Elden Ring: Maximum Dex & Faith Builds Are Actually Insane

    When it comes to creating powerful hybrid setups in Elden Ring, few stat pairings rival the synergy between Dexterity and Faith. At first glance, stacking both to the max might seem like overkill, but once you realize how the two interact, you'll see why this build is one of the most versatile and downright insane setups in the game.   Not only does maximum Dexterity boost cast speed for Faith-based spells, but maximum Faith pushes your incantation damage to absurd levels.
