Elden Ring is an upcoming action role-playing game developed by FromSoftware, the creators of the critically acclaimed Dark Souls and Bloodborne series. The game is set in a fantasy world and features an array of weapons for players to choose from. Intelligence plays an important role in the game; as players progress, they must use their wits and cunning to craft powerful weapons and armor that can help them survive and succeed in their quest. By investing their time and energy into the game, players can forge powerful weapons that can make the difference between life and death in a battle. Intelligence is a key factor in the construction of these weapons, as players must have a deep understanding of the game's crafting system in order to create the most effective weapons. With the right knowledge and skills, players can use the game's resources to their advantage and create powerful weapons that can help them achieve their goals. Elden Ring has a wealth of weapons and items to choose from, and in this Article, we're going to take a look at some of the best staves to grab for intelligence builds. 

• Meteorite Staff
• Academy Glintstone Staff
• Karian Regal Scepter
• Star Scourge Greatsword
• Star Callers Cry
• Moon Veil
• Death Ritual Spear
• Wing of Astel
• Horn Bow
• Falling Star Beast Jaw

Meteorite Staff

which is found deep in the Aeonian Swamp in Caled. This staff has great sorcery scaling and boosts the power of Gravity spells. The Demi-Human Queen Staff is the next one to grab and it carries you through the mid-game. It can be found in the Weeping Peninsula and, when fully upgraded, it has the highest damage output for intelligence builds between 10 and 40.

Academy Glintstone Staff

The Academy Glintstone Staff, which is found later in the game and dropped by Thops in the Raya Lucario Academy. It is the most powerful staff for builds between 40 and 70 intelligence. Finally, there is Lusat’s Staff, which has the highest damage output at max intelligence, but it comes with a downside—it increases all FP costs by 50%. If you’re looking for the best staff in the game, Lusat’s Staff is the one to get. It looks great and is very powerful.

Karian Regal Scepter

The Karian Regal Scepter is great for those who want to save on FP costs, while the Loretta's War Sickle has a unique weapon skill animation that looks amazing. The Dark Moon Greatsword is a fan favorite, and its inherent frost build up makes it incredibly powerful. The Lazuli Glintstone Sword is a rare drop from Lazuli Sorcerers, and its weapon skill launches a glintstone pebble and then lunges forward with a heavy attack. Finally, Death's Poker has an extremely powerful weapon skill that builds frostbite at a much higher rate than regular attacks.

Star Scourge Greatsword

The Star Scourge Greatsword is also a great weapon for Intelligence builds, but is much more stat-heavy than the others. It requires a few points in Dexterity and almost 40 in Strength, making it more of a Strength weapon than an Intelligence weapon. However, its all-round power makes it worth considering for those willing to invest in it. Finally, the honorable mentions are the Moonlit Laser Blade, which is only found in other FromSoftware franchises, and the Moonlight Sword, which is found in the King's Field series. Both of these are great for hybrid builds, and can be incredibly powerful when utilized properly.

Star Callers Cry

The Star Caller Cry is an intelligent sword with magical properties. Its weapon skill, Star Caller Cry, is what makes it stand out from the rest. This skill pulls enemies in and staggers almost all of them, leaving them vulnerable to the giant gravity explosion as you slam both swords into the ground. This explosion causes insane amounts of damage and knocks most enemies down. It is an incredibly powerful weapon and should not be passed up. 

Moon Veil

The Moon Veil is another powerful intelligence weapon. It is a katana that has a sweeping beam of magic light added to its already powerful unsheathed ability. This beam does crazy amounts of damage very quickly and adds a range element to the already broken unsheathed ability. 

Death Ritual Spear

The Death Ritual Spear is a fun and unique weapon to use. It has a special slashing heavy attack and a cool magic effect on it. However, it is not as powerful as the other weapons on this list. 

Wing of Astel

The Wing of Astel is one of the best intelligence weapons in the game. It has a powerful weapon skill, Nebula, which is incredibly lethal against large enemies. It also has a great charged strong attack that does two magical ranged attacks in a row. Fully upgraded with high intelligence and dexterity, it is the whole package. 

Horn Bow

The Horn Bow is the other intelligence-ranged option. It is incredibly powerful and can decimate enemies from afar. Found at the start of the Shifra River near the Riverbank Site of Grace, this intelligent scaling bow can be buffed significantly with anything that boosts magical damage. Even with the minimum intelligence requirement, using spells like Terra Magica or the Talisman Magic Scorpion Charm will increase the damage of the horn bow significantly. Equipping Dwelling Arrows will even allow you to reach damage numbers in the thousands. 

Falling Star Beast Jaw

This weapon has just as high stat requirements as Star Scourge Redan's Great Sword, but slightly less strength is required to wield it, making it more suitable for a pure intelligence build. Not only does this weapon look incredibly impressive and make you feel like a total badass, but its weapon art has great range and deals devastating amounts of damage. This weapon is dropped from the full-grown Falling Star Beast at the top of Mount Gilmer.
