Elden Ring: Ultimate Giant Crusher Strength Build Guide

As a professional gamer and content creator with over 5,000 hours exploring the Lands Between, I‘ve experimented extensively to discover the most crushing Giant Crusher strength build possible in Elden Ring. This comprehensive guide contains my personal tips and analysis on optimizing your Tarnished‘s brute force bonking potential.

Introduction

The Giant Crusher, available early from the invasion at Limgrave Tunnels, stands above all other colossal weapons in terms of raw power. With incredible S-tier strength scaling at +10, this greathammer transforms your character into a steamrolling death machine.

However, wielding these massive weapons effectively takes proper stat investment, equipment support, and mastery of hard-hitting combos. Through extensive testing, I‘ve created the definitively strongest dual Giant Crushers build for smashing foes into oblivion.

Weapon	Physical Attack	Physical Damage	Critical Damage	Strengh Scaling	Skill
Giant Crusher +10	608	358	100	S	Endure

Let‘s explore why this setup dominates:

Stats – The Foundation For Destruction

Giant Crushers demand heavy attribute investment to utilize their devastating potential. With optimal allocation, you become an unstoppable physical force. Here are ideal targets:

• Vigor – 60
• Mind – 15
• Endurance – 50
• Strength – 80
• Dexterity – 18

Vigor – Survival Sustains Carnage

With 60 vigor granting 1900 HP with Erdtree Favor +2, you can withstand savage blows while crushing foes. 1900 HP gives you room for error against lethal late game attacks. Boss combos that one shot 60 vigor builds underscore the necessity of this sizable health pool.

• 1900 HP enables surviving most heavy attacks and combos
• Allows relentless offense through trades
• Reduces frustration from one-shot deaths

Mind – Sufficient Focus For Weapon Skills

15 mind provides 100-110 FP, enough for crucial weapon skill combos without wasted overinvestment. FP fuels skills that enhance the pounding prowess of Giant Crushers.

Endurance: The Bonk Fuel

With 50 Endurance, even fully decked in Bull Goat armor (67.3 poise), you can medium roll with 70% encumbrance. This gives needed mobility in addition to hyper armor for endless smash chains.

Plus, 150+ stamina means longer attack chains. Using an ultra weapon skill into 6+ consecutive Giant Crusher attacks is achievable. You‘ll melt boss health bars rapidly with endless bonk barrages.

Strength – Mountainous Damage

At mighty 80 strength, your Giant Crushers hit their full S-scaling potential with 608 base attack. Leveling beyond 80 strength sees diminishing returns, making it the ideal cap target to pursue first for insane damage returns.

• 80 strength unlocks the Giant Crusher‘s maximum destructive force
• Sustained jump attacks deal over 6000 damage!
• Strength governs your bonking abilities – go big or go home!

Dexterity – Secondary Weapons Requirements

Base dexterity of 18 allows wielding optimal secondary weapons like the Serpent God‘s Curved Sword to enhance your offense. Situationally swap weapons while keeping 18 Dexterity through end game.

In total, these specs grant you both extreme damage output and enough survival tools against lethal enemies. Now let‘s examine supplementary gear and tactics to complete the build.

Weapons – Dual Wielding Maximum Crushing Devastation

While two Giant Crushers seems like overkill, the results speak for themselves:

Attack Type	Single Giant Crusher	Dual Wield
Charged Strong Attack	3000	6000
Jump Attack	5000	10,000+

By dual wielding, your damage potential skyrockets thanks to jump attack and consecutive blow bonuses. Against difficult bosses, quickly shred through 100k+ HP with relentless heavy attack chains empowered by our damage boosting skills and talismans.

In longer fights, keep a secondary weapon option available for supplemental abilities like poison, bleed, or holy damage:

• Serpent God‘s Curved Sword – Rapid poison build up and 20% damage buff aura
• Gargoyle‘s Black Axe – Strike/Slash flexibility & Bleed affinity with Corpse Piler
• Blasphemous Blade – Potent fire damage and heal on hit

Hot swapping these depending on enemy resistances pushes your DPS even higher.

Skills – Exponentially Compound Your Carnage

Skills that directly enhance strike attacks align perfectly with our S tier strength scaled bonk sticks. Here are my top damage accelerants:

Royal Knight‘s Resolve

Upon activation, your next attack within the time limit deals 30% bonus damage, consuming 20 FP. An absolute must have opener. My typical combo:

1. Activate Royal Knight‘s Resolve
2. Charged leaping Heavy Attack into the enemy‘s skull
3. Follow up with 3-4 consecutive jumping Heavy Attacks before they recover
4. 7000+ HP chunked in 5 seconds!

Flame, Grant Me Strength

Augments your strength by 15% and adds 80 fire damage to weapons for 40 seconds, costing 17 FP. Compound with Golden Vow‘s 15% attack boost for even more wallop on extended engagements.

Determination

Reduces incoming damage by 15% for 30 seconds in exchange for steady FP drain. Helpful defensive buff for large pull encounters against hard hitting enemies that may stagger lock you.

Used judiciously before engagements, these skills enable demolishing foes before they can respond. Their damage amps and resistances enable our relentless assault.

Talismans – Further Optimization

Ideal talismans provide poise, equip load, and jump attack damage:

Talisman	Effect
Bull-Goat‘s Talisman	Raises poise by 31.5 points for hyper armor
Claw Talisman	Boosts jump attack power by 15%
Erdtree‘s Favor 2	Raises HP, Stamina, Equip Load
Great-Jar‘s Arsenal	Increases max equip load by 15%

Bull-Goat‘s Talisman combined with heavy armor provides the poise to withstand enemy blows when trading, ensuring you sustain damage.

Claw Talisman enhances your already ridiculous jump attacks. Leaping overhead crashes from dual Giant Crushers are the perfect initiating attack at over 5000 base damage, while poise breaking groups.

Great-Jar‘s Arsenal enables wearing fully bull goat armor, two colossal weapons, and talismans while still medium rolling at 70% encumbrance. Mobility preserves the aggression.

Playstyle – Unrelenting Assault & Reactive Adaptation

You are the undisputed aggressor with extreme damage behind you. Dictate all engagements by:

• Buff pre-fight with defense/damage skills
• Initiate every encounter with your enhanced leaping heavy jump attack
• Chase downed enemies with consecutive jumping heavies
• Finishers like charged R2s interrupt remaining enemies
• Wash, rinse, repeat while refreshing buffs

Defensively, be reactive. Against largepulls and bosses with varied combos:

• Create distance when needed and assess their attack patterns
• Block extensively and dodge only when necessary to manage stamina
• Punish every whiffed combo with jump attack chains
• Restore HP/FP once you‘ve reclaimed initiative

With our upgraded HP pool and equip load, you can absorb incidental hits between relentlessly forcing enemies into defenseless positions via poise breaks and heavy damage. Then clinically punish their every mistake without mercy right as they stand. This coercive aggression is the hallmark of our immovable object playstyle.

So there you have it – the undisputed strongest Giant Crusher build for Elden Ring domination. From statistic milestones to gear synergies and tactical applications, apply my in-depth guidance to become the ultimate physical menace with this wicked loadout. Let me know how it fares shattering PVE and PVP foes alike! Now get out there, my friend. May your jumps decimate worlds and your charged R2s end bloodlines.
