Elden Ring is already hard enough without the threat of random invasions from other players, but now it seems like it’s about to get a lot harder. One Elden Ring PvPer has discovered a build that turns them from a squishy little knight with a sword into an unstoppable killing machine with flames firing from their eyeholes.
