Euporia is easily one of the most fascinating new weapons in Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree, partly because it is extremely well-hidden and also due to its incredibly unique Ash of War - Euporia Vortex. While Euporia is a pretty impressive Twinblade, making a build around it can be quite confusing due to how its Ash of War works.
In terms of stats, Euporia scales with Faith and Dexterity; however, you can also make it work with a Strength-Faith setup. What's confusing about Euporia is that its Ash of War only works if you deal a certain amount of damage to enemies beforehand. As such, it can initially be a bit jarring to get it working with your existing build.
Thankfully, there's a way to make Euporia work well with a traditional Faith-Dexterity build while also making sure you charge up the weapon's Ash of War as quickly as possible.
Here's a comprehensive guide to creating a Euporia build in Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree.

Breakdown of Euporia build in Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree
Euporia is obviously the primary damage dealer in this Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree build. However, since you will be investing points into Faith, you can also use a few attack Incantations.
As for Talismans, Shard of Alexander and Two-Handed Sword Talisman are a necessity for this build. The remaining two slots can be filled with anything based on your preference.

However, I do recommend using a defensive Talisman, either the Pearldrake Talisman +3 or the Dragoncrest Greatshield Talisman to help you trade a few hits with enemies.
Lastly, for the Seal, I highly recommend the maxed-out Dryleaf Seal since it scales incredibly well with Faith.
Side note, for the Flask of Wondrous Physick, I highly recommend using the Opaline Hardtear and the Greenburst Crystal Tear. As for Incantations, Flame, Give Me Strength, Black Flame's Protection, Beastial Vitality, and Golden Vow are necessary to boost your base damage output. You can also use some combat Incantations.
That being said, here's a breakdown of the Euporia build in Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree:
Weapon(s):
- Euporia +10
- Dryleaf Seal +25
Talismans:
- Twinblade Talisman
- Dragoncrest Greatshield Talisman
- Two-Handed Sword Talisman
- Shard of Alexander
Incantations:
- Flame, Grant Me Strength
- Black Flame's Protection
- Beastial Vitality
- Golden Vow
Armor:
- As per your preference

I used a Level 226 character for this build. Since you'll unlock the Euporia towards the end of Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree, I highly recommend using a Level 180+ character. That way, you'll have plenty of points to invest into Faith, without compromising your core stats.
Here's a breakdown of the stat distribution for this Euporia build:
- Vigor: 60
- Mind: 30
- Endurance: 50
- Strength: 21
- Dexterity: 35
- Intelligence: 9
- Faith: 80
- Arcane: 20
I invested a few points into Arcane to be able to use the Dragon Communion Incantations. However, that's completely optional. Additionally, If you're using the Greenburst Crystal Tear in Mixed Physick, you can have Endurance at 40 without any major repercussions.
The way you're meant to use this build is to hit enemies or the boss until you charge up Euporia, which you can recognize by the Twinblade glowing bright yellow. Once the weapon is charged to its maximum, back away to a medium distance from an enemy or boss and use the Ash of War (L2/LT) while locked onto them.

The Euporia Vortex is essentially as powerful as Comet Azure, capable of melting the enemy's healthbar in seconds. However, its duration is quite short, and to effectively use it in a boss fight, you will need to charge the weapon multiple times. Thankfully, with the Shard of Alexander, you will deal additional damage via the Euporia Vortex.
