The most important part of this build is the weapon. You should go with Ansbach's Longbow, which can be obtained by either killing him or assisting him in the Shadow Keep area of Shadow of the Erdtree. Along with his bow, Sir Ansbach will also drop all his armor, which is also crucial for this build. Last but not least, maximize your damage by combining everything with the correct talismans.

Here's what your equipment should look like for an Ansbach cosplay build in Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree:

• Primary weapon: Ansbach's Longbow
• Seal: Clawmark Seal
• Armor: Ansbach's Set
• Spells: Golden Vow, Flame, Grant Me Strength
• Talisman: Blue Dancer Charm, Shard of Alexander, Arrow's Sting, and Arrow's Soaring Sting
• Crystal Tear: Bloodsucking Cracked Tear, Crimsonburst Crystal Tear
• Great Rune: Radahn's Great Rune

Both the Bloodsucking Cracked Tear and the Crimsonburst Crystal Tear are extremely important for this build. The former is one of the many new crystal tears in Shadow of the Erdree and can be obtained by defeating the Furnace Golem at the Ruins of Unte. The latter can be obtained by defeating the Erdtree Avatar near the Minor Erdtree located in the Weeping Peninsula.

It is also recommended that you use the Stormwing Bone Arrows along with your longbow for the best results.

Stats for a level 220+ Ansbach build in Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree (Image via FromSoftware)

Keep Vigor at a minimum of 60 to ensure that you can tank a few hits in battle. Mind also needs to be 25+ since you'll be using Ansbach's Longbow's Ash of War pretty regularly to deal the maximum amount of damage. Apart from this, your main points will be going towards Dexterity to ensure you're getting the most out of the weapon.

Once these three stats are at the required level, you are free to spec however you want to. We would suggest keeping Faith at 25, since this will allow us to use the Golden Vow and Flame, Grant Me Strength incantations.

That completes our Ansbach cosplay build in Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree.
