Elden Ring Build Calculator – Plan Levels, Stats & Weapon Requirements

Introduction

Creating an efficient, fun and strong character in Elden Ring is partly science, and partly an art. Min-max can get you to clear endgame bosses or make an eye-catching PvP build or make a hybrid with sufficient resilience. It gets ugly when keeping up with the base stats, what levels can be started at what classes or what required stats on weapon or spells are needed to be followed by hand.

That’s where the Elden Ring Build Calculator on AizoroTools.com helps. Enter your desired target level, choose a starting class (Vagabond, Samurai, Confessor, Astrologer, or Wretch), and input planned values for the core attributes — Vigor, Mind, Endurance, Strength, Dexterity, Intelligence, Faith, Arcane. The tool checks totals, shows how many attribute points you must allocate, highlights whether your target level is valid, and gives practical suggestions: weapon/spell requirements, stat soft caps, and leveling tips.

Whether you’re theorycrafting a Strength powerhouse, a glass-cannon Sorcery build, or a balanced Battlemage, this calculator does the heavy math so you can focus on playstyle and fun.

What the Elden Ring Build Calculator Needs (Inputs)

To generate a build summary, the calculator asks for:

1. Target Level

The character level you want to reach (e.g., 100). This determines how many attribute points are available beyond the starting class.

2. Starting Class (dropdown)

Choose one of the base classes to inherit starting attributes and starting level:

• Vagabond — high Vitality/Strength (melee starter)

• Samurai — balanced Dexterity/Endurance (weapon-focused)

• Confessor — Faith/Strength hybrid (incantation user)

• Astrologer — high Intelligence/Mind (sorcery starter)

• Wretch — all stats 1 (blank slate ideal for min-maxers)

(Exact starting stats and level are pulled from the chosen class. The calculator shows them.)

3. Planned Attributes

Enter the values you want at target level for each attribute (typical range 1–99):

• Vigor (HP / survivability)

• Mind (FP)

• Endurance (stamina / equip load)

• Strength (weapon scaling, heavy weapons)

• Dexterity (weapon scaling, casting speed)

• Intelligence (sorcery scaling)

• Faith (incantation scaling)

• Arcane (item discovery / some spell scaling)

Example: Vigor 40, Mind 18, Endurance 30, Strength 60, Dexterity 12, Intelligence 9, Faith 12, Arcane 10.

How the Calculator Works (Behind the Scenes)

The calculator follows a simple, transparent procedure:

1. Load starting class stats: Shows base attribute values and starting level for the chosen class.

2. Sum planned attribute points: Total Planned Stats = sum of all eight attribute values.

3. Compute required level:

   • Every level beyond starting level grants +1 attribute point (Elden Ring uses 1 stat per level).

   • Required Level = Starting Level + (Total Planned Stats − Total Starting Stats)

   • The calculator checks whether Required Level ≤ Target Level.

     • If equal or less — your plan fits the target level.

     • If greater — the calculator shows how many additional levels you need or which attributes to trim.

4. Show leftover points:

   • Leftover Points = Target Level − Required Level (if positive, you have spare points to reassign).

5. Check soft caps & requirements:

   • Flags common “soft cap” thresholds (for example: Strength/Dexterity soft caps around 40–60 depending on weapons; Vigor soft caps around 40 for diminishing HP returns).

   • Compares planned stats against typical weapon/spell requirements (the calculator includes a database of common weapon/spell thresholds — e.g., greatswords often need Strength 28–40; advanced sorceries require Intelligence 40+). If your planned stats meet or miss those thresholds, the calculator flags them.

6. Output:

   • Clear level breakdown

   • Attribute-by-attribute delta from starting class

   • Warnings (underleveled, overleveled, soft cap reached)

   • Practical recommendations (respec suggestion, weapon/spell targets, PvE vs PvP notes)

What the Calculator Outputs

• Starting class stats & starting level (for transparency)

• Total planned stat sum and required level to reach those stats

• Validation: whether the planned stats are achievable at the requested target level

• Leftover points (if any) or additional levels required

• Soft-cap indicators per attribute

• Weapon & spell eligibility checks (meets or misses common requirements)

• Build archetype suggestion (e.g., Heavy Strength, Quality, Dex-caster, Faith-support)

• Leveling roadmap: which stats to prioritize early, which to delay

Example Build Walkthrough

Player picks:

• Starting Class: Samurai (starting level 9; starting stats: Vigor 12, Mind 11, Endurance 11, Strength 12, Dexterity 15, Intelligence 9, Faith 8, Arcane 8 — example values)

• Target Level: 120

• Planned Stats:

  • Vigor 40, Mind 20, Endurance 30, Strength 60, Dexterity 18, Intelligence 12, Faith 10, Arcane 9

Calculator steps:

• Sum starting stats (example): 12+11+11+12+15+9+8+8 = 86

• Sum planned stats: 40+20+30+60+18+12+10+9 = 199

• Points difference = 199 − 86 = 113

• Required level = starting level 9 + 113 = 122

Result: You requested target level 120 but need level 122 to hit these stats. The calculator will show:

• You are 2 levels short.

• Options: reduce Strength by 2 (60 → 58), or reduce Vigor by 2 to fit level 120.

• It flags Strength 60 as past common soft caps for many weapons and suggests checking if that extra Strength is necessary for your weapon of choice.

• Recommends a level plan: prioritize Vigor and Endurance to survive early game, then pump Strength closer to mid/late game.

Build Suggestions & Archetypes

The calculator will classify your planned stats into a likely archetype and give short tips:

• Heavy Strength (Greatsword/Colossal): High Strength 50–80, moderate Vigor/Endurance, low INT/FTH. Use heavy weapons, two-handing.

• Quality (STR/Dex hybrid): Balanced Strength & Dexterity in the 30s–40s for versatile weapon scaling.

• Dexterity Spellslinger: Mid Dexterity 40+, moderate Intelligence for sorcery or Faith for incantations if hybrid.

• Pure Caster (Intelligence/Astrologer): Very high Intelligence (50+) or Faith for incantations, low Strength/Dex — focus on staff/talisman requirements and Mind for more FP.

• Paladin / Faith build: High Faith 40–70 with Strength or Dexterity depending on weapon, invest in Mind & Vigor for spellcasting & survival.

• Arcane / Bleed build: Invest Arcane 40+ to scale status effects; pair with appropriate weapons/ash of war.

Each archetype comes with early leveling priorities, recommended soft caps, and suggested weapons/spells to target.

Leveling Roadmap (Practical Advice)

• Early game (levels 1–40): Vigor to 20–25, Endurance to 15–20, Strength/Dexterity to weapon requirement minimums.

• Mid game (levels 40–80): Raise your primary scaling stat (STR/DEX/INT/FTH) toward soft caps (30–40); Mind to 15–20 if you plan sustained spells.

• Late game (levels 80+): Optimize remaining points for soft caps (50–60 for late game min-maxing); pump Vigor to 40+ if you want survivability.

The calculator gives a suggested priority order based on your archetype.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: Is the calculator exact to in-game rules?

A: The calculator uses exact class starting stats and the real rule that each level grants +1 attribute point. Weapon and spell requirement checks are based on common thresholds; however, the game uses item-specific values — always double-check the items you want in-game.

Q: Can this tool plan for respec (Resurrection of the Runes)?

A: Yes — it displays current vs planned stats and how many Rune-respecs you’d need to reallocate. (You’ll still do respec in-game.)

Q: Does it handle soft caps and diminishing returns?

A: The calculator flags common soft caps and explains diminishing returns in plain language, so you can decide whether extra points are worth it.

Q: I picked Wretch. How do I plan from level 1?

A: Wretch starts with all stats low — ideal for min-maxers. The calculator shows exact levels required and suggests early priority stats based on your chosen build.
