As a classic choice for all types of play, from sword-and-board to spellblade, the Sword category is friendly to nearly all builds in Elden Ring. If players so choose, they can opt to use two different swords in either hand, pair one up with a bulky shield, wield a single blade in both hands, or switch between any combination. Since Swords are one of the deepest categories in Elden Ring, the possibilities are endless.
Because there are so many in the game, Swords also represent one of the best early game options in Elden Ring, with the formidable Longsword being available either as a starter option for the Vagabond class or immediately once players reach Roundtable Hold. Still, in spite of their wide availability, they remain strong throughout an entire playthrough, and can easily carry players past even the most difficult bosses in Elden Ring.
