↖ Types of Fire Damage in Elden Ring

Before we dive into the specifics of the build, let's go over the three types of fire damage found in Elden Ring. Regular fire damage is found in standard pyromancy spells like Flame of the Red Main and Ashes of War. This type of fire damage deals 100 points of damage and nothing else. Black Flame is similar to regular pyromancy, but it also applies a damage-over-time burn effect. Lastly, Destin Death deals holy damage, damage-over-time, and reduces the target's max HP by 10 for a few seconds.

↖ Understanding the Godslayer' Greatsword

The Godslayer's Greatsword deals a mix of physical and fire damage with its individual hits. However, when you use its Ash of War, the hits deal pure fire damage. The same concept applies to all Black Flame spells; after your attack impacts, it deals pure fire damage and then applies the Black Flame damage-over-time. This damage-over-time is based on the target's max HP and ignores all defensive stats.

↖ Min-Max Stats and Setup

The best min-max setup for this build is 25 Strength, 55 Dexterity, and 30 Faith. This allows you to use the Godslayer seal and all the best Black Flame spells. After Patch 1.09, the difference between min-maxing or fully maxing Dexterity is so minimal that it doesn't really matter which one you use.

↖ Best Black Flame Spells for this Build

When it comes to the best Black Flame spells to use for this build, there are three that stand out: Black Flame, Scouring Black Flame, and Black Flame Protection. Out of these three, Scouring Black Flame is miles better than Black Flame Ball in almost every way. It has multiple hitboxes and can hit a target more than once. It can also be charged to deal more damage.

↖ Recommended Buffs

For buffs, we recommend using only three: the Flame Shard Cracked Here, the Shrink Knot Tier, and the Golden Vow Ash of War. The Flame Shard Cracked Here and Shrink Knot Tier will buff your damage, while the Golden Vow Ash of War is a free buff that you get at the very start of Lim Gray. The Jellyfish Shield buff was bugged in Patch 1.09 and can increase your damage by 20.

↖ How to One-Shot Bosses?

To one-shot Margaret with this build, you'll need to have the following stats and setup: 30 Strength, 55 Dexterity, 25 Faith, and the buffs mentioned above. With these stats and buffs, the Godslayer' Greatsword can deal over 4,000 points of damage in a single hit. Furthermore, the Ash of War has three parts, which will allow you to do even more damage if you hit all three.

Conclusion:

With the right setup and enough Elden Ring Runes, you'll be able to one-shot powerful enemies with ease using this ultimate Black Flame build for the Godslayer' Greatsword in Elden Ring Patch 1.09. Be sure to follow the steps outlined in this guide, and you'll be on your way to becoming a GODSLAYER!
