Magic Builds Look Utterly Brilliant
The Souls series has always featured compelling magic-wielding gameplay, but there’s never been quite such a focus on spectacular spells as what we saw in Elden Ring’s recent showcase. This is a whole new level of spellcasting in a FromSoftware game, from the summoning of huge lightning storms to giant beams of light that tear through enemy bosses in dazzling fashion.
There’s no doubt that those who typically enjoy a magic build in their Souls game are going to have a field day in Elden Ring, and others who are normally strength/melee might want to consider experimenting after having seen what’s on offer this week!
One especially cool pick out from the recent showcase is some sort of fire-breathing dragon’s head that one can wield. You can see the other player using it in the cooperative section of the showcase, and later you’ll see Godrick the Golden also using it. Perhaps it’s a weapon or spell you’ll acquire after having beaten him?
