summary
This guide highlights five of the strongest Elden Ring NG+7 builds for level 200 characters, covering Strength, Bleed, Spellblade, Faith, and Strength/Arcane playstyles. Each build includes recommended stats, weapons, talismans, buffs, and strategies to maximize damage and survivability. Players looking to further optimize their endgame progression may also choose to buy Elden Ring Runes to level up faster and complete these powerful builds more efficiently, helping them overcome the game's toughest bosses.
1. Raw Strength Build
If you enjoy straightforward melee combat, the Raw Strength build offers exceptional physical damage without relying on status effects. Its high Vigor and Endurance also allow you to survive mistakes that would otherwise be fatal in NG+7.
Recommended Stats
· Vigor: 60
· Endurance: 44
· Strength: 99
· Faith: 33
Core Buffs
· Golden Vow
· Howl of Shabriri

Recommended Talismans
· Shard of Alexander
· Two-Handed Sword Talisman
· Axe Talisman
· Dragoncrest Greatshield Talisman
The build excels with Heavy-infused weapons and Ashes of War like Lion's Claw, Savage Lion's Claw, or Royal Knight's Resolve. If you prefer safer gameplay, this setup offers enough durability to trade hits while still dealing massive damage.
2. Bleed Dexterity/Arcane Build
Bleed remains one of the strongest mechanics in Elden Ring, especially against bosses with enormous health pools. Fast attacks trigger Hemorrhage rapidly while activating multiple damage buffs.
Recommended Stats
· Vigor: 50
· Endurance: 35
· Strength: 18
· Dexterity: 75
· Arcane: 45
· Faith: 32
Top Weapons

Essential Talismans
· Lord of Blood's Exultation
· Millicent's Prosthesis
· Rotten Winged Sword Insignia
· Spear Talisman or Shard of Alexander
This build rapidly stacks multi-hit bonuses while constantly triggering Bleed. Even bosses resistant to Hemorrhage can still be defeated through the weapons' strong physical damage and excellent Dexterity scaling.
3. Spellblade Intelligence Build
Rather than relying solely on sorceries, this hybrid build combines devastating magic with powerful Intelligence-scaling weapons.
Recommended Stats
· Vigor: 50
· Mind: 30
· Endurance: 35
· Strength: 50
· Dexterity: 80
· Intelligence: 90
· Faith: 33
Primary Weapons
· Moonveil

Primary Sorceries
· Night Comet
· Carian Slicer
Best Talismans
· Magic Scorpion Charm
· Shard of Alexander
· Graven-Mass Talisman
· Old Lord's Talisman
Night Comet is especially effective because many bosses struggle to react to its invisible projectile, allowing players to safely deal consistent damage. Meanwhile, Carian Slicer offers incredible melee DPS for experienced players comfortable fighting at close range.
4. Faith Hybrid Build
Faith is far more than a spellcasting stat. It unlocks some of the strongest weapon affinities, offensive incantations, and self-buffs in the game.
Recommended Stats
· Vigor: 60
· Mind: 25
· Endurance: 38
· Strength: 22
· Dexterity: 18

· Blessing of the Erdtree
Recommended Talismans
· Fire or Sacred Scorpion Charm
· Old Lord's Talisman
· Shard of Alexander
· Two-Handed Sword Talisman
One of this build's greatest strengths is flexibility. You can freely swap between Flame Art and Sacred affinities depending on enemy resistances while also using healing incantations to offset the Bloodsucking Cracked Tear's HP drain.
5. Strength/Arcane Twinblade Build
For pure boss melting, the Strength/Arcane Twinblade build ranks among the strongest overall setups.
Recommended Stats
· Vigor: 50

Core Talismans
· Lord of Blood's Exultation
· Millicent's Prosthesis
· Rotten Winged Sword Insignia
· Claw Talisman
Jump attacks generate enormous burst damage while rapidly building Bleed. The build also supports several unique Strength/Arcane weapons, making it one of the most versatile endgame loadouts available.
Final Tips for NG+7
Regardless of which build you choose, several principles remain consistent:
· Reach approximately Level 200 before attempting NG+7.
· Upgrade your Scadutree Blessing to Level 20 for DLC content.
· Maintain buffs such as Golden Vow and Howl of Shabriri whenever possible.
· Tailor your weapon affinity to enemy weaknesses instead of relying on a single damage type.
· Swap talismans depending on the encounter to maximize efficiency.
Mastering these five optimized builds gives you powerful answers to nearly every challenge in Elden Ring's highest difficulty. Whether you prefer overwhelming Strength, rapid Bleed procs, devastating sorceries, versatile Faith scaling, or explosive Twinblade combos, each setup provides the damage and flexibility needed to consistently conquer NG+7. Players looking to accelerate their progression can also consider cheap Elden Ring Runes to reach optimal stats and complete these endgame builds more quickly.
