PvP | Elden Ring Wiki
PvP or Player versus Player for Elden Ring is an Online feature where players can challenge and fight other players. Players may only enter PvP by two means: one is by invading another player who is in a co-op session (or being invaded by other players), and the other is by being invited into another player’s world via a PvP summon item. This page contains information regarding the guidelines, various mechanics for the PvP combat system.
Invasions
Invasions still occur during single-player gameplay. They are initiated by NPC Invaders and function identically to PvP invasions. However, these invasions often bear relation to Elden Ring’s story and occur only at specific Locations.
See our Summon Range Calculator to figure out how to matchmake for PvP sessions.
Special PvP Scaling
As of Patch 1.07, some Weapons, Skills and Magic Spells have unique scaling that only applies when playing vs another player. This scaling does not affect cooperative multiplayer or solo play, and is used to balance PvP independently from PvE.
PvP Exclusive balance adjustments
- Increased stamina attack power in PvP for all attacks against guarded foes, except for long-ranged weapons.
- Improved poise damage in PvP for every weapon’s normal attack, except for Skills and long-ranged weapons.
- With a few exceptions, the power of Ashes of War in PvP has been lowered across the board.
- The power of the following incantations in PvP has been decreased: Dragonfire / Agheel’s Flame / Glintstone Breath / Smarag’s Glintstone Breath / Rotten Breath / Ekzykes’s Decay / Dragonice / Borealis’s Mist / Unendurable Frenzy

PVP Rewards in Elden Ring
Defeating an opponent in PvP will reward the player with Runes. The amount of Runes is a fixed amount depending on the defeated opponent’s Level; It is a percentage of that player’s most-recent leveling cost (eg. a level 50 player drops some % of the cost of leveling up from level 49 to 50). However, the percentage awarded varies depending on the perspective of the player and the type of multiplayer being conducted.

Although Elden Ring has stayed faithful to the traditional Souls formula we know and love, It is disheartening that out of those traditions, the the poor netcode and PvP balance remains the most memorable.
This leaves many players frustrated and done with ER in its current state. -

PvP in Dark Souls is the reason I put hundreds of hours into each game.
Elden Ring is great, but the PvP feels more like an afterthought. I’d love if Elden Ring’s multiplayer had stuff like varied rewards, more NPCs that encourage PvP, and maybe even covenants in future updates. -

Multiplayer has been an integral component of FromSoft games since Demon’s Souls. The sense of community, solidarity, and playful competition these games provide is unmatched by any other series on the market. Upholding that legacy with Elden Ring should be a top priority.

Online mechanics provide are a large part of the longevity and uniqueness of Fromsoft games, whether it’s pvp or co-op.
Despite that, online mechanics haven’t been focused on in any notable way since Demon’s Souls. They can be improved for every fan’s sake.

S-U-UNDEN
A-tier
- Carrion Knight’s Sword: An interesting alternative to Intellisense-based builds. old ring Splendor The carrion of this weapon gives it great range, as well as the ability to weave battles and spells together.
- Michelan Knight’s Sword: His unique skill, Sacred Blade, gives players more range than normal. At first glance, Scaling might not seem like much of a deal, but Mikaeln packs a big punch when it comes to maxing out the Knight’s Sword.
- Crystal Sword: The Crystal Sword is a variant of the sword of the Rotting Knight. It has comparatively weak stat scaling, but it can make up for it with a great weapon. Oddly enough, paired with the sword of the Carrion Knight, it is great for the left hand.
- Rotten Crystal Sword: Again, compared to its counterpart, the Crystal Sword, since it has the Scarlet Rot status effect, it can be combined with the Rot Kindred Exalted Talisman for increased damage.
- Longsword: Like Lordsworn’s S-tier straight sword, the original Longsword is a no-fuss option. It’s simple and does the job. At his highest advanced point, he does not deserve any test old ring Proposal.
- Golden Epitaph: A perfect alternative to a faith-based build, his unique ability boosts Funeral, Holy Damage, and Faith, causing him to deal high damage over 45 seconds. Unfortunately, this is a terrible choice for PvP, where enemies can make it easier to defend their sacred defenses with Golden Epitaph and other such tools.
- Coded Sword: For players who insist on using the Faith build for PvP, Coded Sword might be the best option due to its skillful unblockable blade. It can still be countered with Holy Protection items, but the encoded sword will catch most enemies off guard.

B-level
- EOCHAD Regalia: While his unique Ash of War can be visually stunning, the casting time of Regalia of Echid is too slow. Overall, this is a rather strange choice, because it combines agility and mystery. Compared to other mystical weapons like Katana Rivers of Blood, Eochaid Regalia won’t tempt players to optimize their damage output.
- Broadsword: The Broadsword usually outperforms its teammates, but is probably the best option if players equip it with a high affinity prefix as it scales with strength at level A. However, most strength builds will look for better options in the other place.
- short sword: While the short sword is limited in its range, it is the only variant that has two strikes, making it the preferred stabbing weapon. However, stylistic logic aside, the Short Sword is a challenge for most builds.
- Warhawk Claw: Possibly as good as the A-level Longsword, but players will have to spend a lot of time polishing. old ring To get it, at this point, he probably had to take a long sword.
- Lapis Lazuli Shiny Sword: Lapis Lazuli Shiny Sword can gain momentum in PvP scenarios. Similar to the Carrion Knight’s sword, its heavy attack also blocks enemy attacks. However, like the Talon Warhawk, it takes a long time to grind, so it’s hard not to prioritize alternatives like the Sword Carrion Knight.
C-level
- Ornamental Straight Sword: Despite its impressive weapon prowess, the Ornamental Straight Sword cannot deal serious damage.
