The Star Fist can be one of the best fist weapons in Elden Ring thanks to its high damage and poise-breaking hits. It does require some key items to make this weapon viable, so here is the best Star Fist build in Elden Ring.
How to Get Star Fist in Elden Ring
Elden Ring players can get the Star Fist weapon at the Leyndell Colosseum, located on the south side of the Leyndell, Royal Capital region. Players do not need the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion to get this weapon.
Start at the West Capital Rampart Site of Grace, then get past the giant enemy towards the massive tree root. Walk underneath the root and take the stairs to the path leading towards Leyndell Colosseum. When you come upon the main entrance, take a left, and there will be multiple alcoves within the colosseum. The Star Fist will be in the last alcove on a corpse.
Players can dual-wield two Star Fists with only one equipped by two-handing the weapon. This is preferred for the build and does not require players to access a New Game+ to get a second weapon.
Best Star Fist Build in Elden Ring
The Star Fist requires 12 Strength and 8 Dexterity, which makes it very easy to wield by the time players get to obtain it. While it does have innate blood loss, Strength will be the key stat to build for followed by Faith to cast Incantations. Here is the full Star Fist build:
| Type | Gear |
|---|---|
| Right Hand Armament | Star Fist with Cragblade Ash of War |
| Left Hand Armament | Any Sacred Seal |
| Incantations | Golden Vow, Howl of Shabriri |
| Armor | Any Armor |
| Talismans | Axe Talisman, Millicent’s Prosthesis, Ritual Sword Talisman, Rotten Winged Sword Insignia |
| Wonderous Physick Mix | Stonebarb Cracked Tear, Strength-knot Crystal Tear |
The Star Fist can hit hard and this build is simply for increasing damage behind the punches. Both Incantations casted beforehand will increase damage, but know that Howl of Shabiri will also increase damage taken as well.
The Axe Talisman is a must for increasing charged attacks, the Ritual Sword Talisman for raised attack while at full HP, and the other two to increase attack power after successive hits. The goal is to constantly break the enemy’s poise and continue landing harder hits.
