Stat Progression Tips
Early game focus on Elden Ring Items Dexterity and Vigor to quickly boost damage and survivability.

Mid-game start investing Arcane heavily to maximize bleed effects.

Maintain Endurance to avoid fat rolling, especially as you upgrade armor.

Mind and Strength can be flexibly adjusted based on your chosen weapons and playstyle.

4. Weapon Choices and Upgrades
Your weapon choices define your combat effectiveness. For the Nightreign: Executor build, weapons that scale with Dexterity and Arcane and have innate bleed or synergize well with bleed are paramount.

Primary Weapon Recommendations
Blood Katana (Best-in-Build)
Scaling: Dexterity and Arcane.

Bleed: High natural bleed buildup.

Weapon Skill: Bloody Slash – A devastating AoE bleed attack.

Upgrade Priority: Max out via smithing stones, and apply Ashes of War that enhance bleed and speed.

Nagakiba
Longer reach katana with solid Dexterity scaling.

Good bleed buildup and fast moveset.

Can use Bloody Slash or similar Ashes of War.

Rivers of Blood (PvP Variant)
Katana with high bleed buildup and special weapon skill (Corpse Piler) that sends a series of blood slashes.

Powerful in PvP for bleed stacking and buy Elden Ring Runes pressure.
