Best Bandit build in Elden Ring: Weapons, Armor, Stats
Butcher79
The best ranged sniper build in Elden Ring is based around Bandit. Below we will break down the best bandit build so you can make your character a sniper archer.
The build in Elden Ring focuses on various combinations of Stats, Weapons, Armor, and many other elements that can help the player reach their goal through combat and exploration.
Each assembly Elden Ring, which will be listed on our pages, is unique and has its own approach to the user's playstyle, which can be used in both PvE and PvP situations. Below is the best build we recommend players to try and use on Bandit.
Elden Ring Bandit Build: Ranged Shooter
A purely long-range build that only focuses on archery. No melee.
Class: Bandit
Spreading flasks: division between HP and FP
Weapon: Shortbow or longbow
Shield: no
Armor: Any light or medium armor
Basic statistics: Agility and Intelligence
secondary statistics: Vitality and Endurance
Skills: Ashes of War: Barrage and Ashes of War: Might Shot
Spells: no
You will use your longbow and mighty shot to kill enemies from a distance before they close the distance to melee. When an enemy approaches, the longbow changes to a shortbow to make it easier to dodge and maneuver while shooting back. Remember that you can jump back and shoot with the same movement.
Having high agility will allow you to increase your damage output, but be sure to craft or buy better arrows and upgrade your bows as often as possible. This makes a HUGE difference to damage and may be the main reason why the Archer build is not the best in Elden Ring. Not all arrows are equal, choose the right projectile for every situation.
Control when to use Barrage during boss fights and calculate how many intervals you need to take it down without dealing damage.
