5 best Sorcery builds for Elden Ring Colosseum

Sorcery builds are extremely popular in Elden Ring as they make the game easier once players obtain all the items required for a specific build. This is true for both PvE as well PvP of the game.

With the release of the Colosseum update, many players might be willing to use Sorceries in the PvP arenas. Hence, this article provides a list of Sorcery builds that you can use in Colosseum games.

It is, however, essential to remember that builds are highly varied in Elden Ring, especially when it comes to Sorceries. Hence, this list is not conclusive, as players can always find more builds to go for.

Comet Azur and four other Sorcery builds that players should consider in Elden Ring Colosseum update

1) Comet Azur One shot build

The specifications for this build are as follows:

• Class: Astrologer
• Stats: Intelligence, Mind, Endurance, Vigor
• Weapon: Lusat's Glintstone Staff
• Talisman: Radagon Icon, Graven School Talisman, Marika's Soreseal
• Spells: Comet Azur, Unseen Form
• Crystal Tears: Cerulean Hidden Tear, Magic Shrouding Cracked Tear

This build has immense nuking potential and can practically one-shot any player in PvP. However, there are certain limitations, as the Cerulean Hidden Tear wears off quite quickly, and the build will not be as good in a direct 1v1 duel unless players can confuse enemies with their movements.

It is better suited for team fights, where two other players will be ready to keep enemies engaged.

• Talisman: Radagon's Icon, Graven-Mass Talisman
• Spells: Comet Azur, Carian Slicer, Loretta's Greatbow, Comet Azur, Glintstone Pebble
• Crystal Tears: Cerulean Crystal Tear, Magic Shrowding Cracked Tear

This is a build that will work in almost all scenarios within Elden Ring. In PvP, it is suitable for sustained damage as well as heavy nuke potential. This build provides players with a lot of variety and is excellent for 1v1 duels.

• Class: Astrologer
• Stats: Intelligence, Mind, Vigor, Endurance
• Weapon: Glintstone Staff
• Talisman: Radagon's Icon, Cerulean Amber Medallion

• Crystal Tears: None

4) Hybrid Melee Build for Sorcerers

The specifications for this build are as follows:

• Class: Astrologer
• Stats: Intelligence, Endurance, Mind, Vigor
• Weapon: Moonveil, Meteorite Staff
• Talisman: Radagon Icon, Graven-Mass Talisman, Millicent's Prosthesis
• Spells: Rock Sling
• Crystal Tears: Intelligence-Knot Crystal Tear, Magic Shrouding Cracked Tear

This is a build meant for those players in Elden Ring who want to use the Moonveil but still want to continue playing as a sorcerer. This build will be functional mainly in 1v1 fights, as the Rock Sling and the Moonveil shine in single-target situations. It is also straightforward, though some items can be hard to obtain in Elden Ring.

5) Dark Moon Build

The specifications for this build are as follows:

• Class: Astrologer
• Stats: Intelligence, Mind, Endurance, Vigor
• Weapon: Dark Moon Greatsword, Azur's Glintstone Staff
• Talisman: Godfrey Icon, Radagon Icon
• Spells: Glintstone Pebble, Ranni's Dark Moon
• Crystal Tears: Intelligence-Knot Crystal Tear, Magic Shrouding Cracked Tear

This is also a heavy-damage build that relies on the Dark Moon sorceries and the Greatsword. This build is quite good, but it is pretty hard to finish. The Dark Moon Greatsword especially requires a massive questline that leads to one of the secret endings for the game.
