Elden Ring offers a vast world full of deadly tools and status effects, and few are as satisfying—or as underestimated—as Poison and Scarlet Rot. While many players gravitate toward raw damage or bleed builds, a well-crafted poison or rot setup can be just as devastating, especially over longer fights or when dealing with enemies resistant to burst tactics.

Below are 16 builds that revolve around these two underrated status effects. Whether you’re looking to melt bosses over time or dominate PvP with attrition-based strategies, these builds are a great way to explore the full potential of Elden Ring items and mechanics.

1. Rot Samurai

Using the Nagakiba or Serpentbone Blade infused with poison or rot via Ashes of War, this build mixes high dexterity with rapid strikes that apply status in seconds. Add the Rotten Winged Sword Insignia and you’ll snowball your power with every attack.

2. Poison Twinblade Build

Many dedicated Tarnished aim to wield weapons that not only look impressive but also boast the best possible stat distributions. While exploring The Lands Between, you might wonder whether you can simply acquire perfectly rolled gear rather than relying on luck and countless reforges. Below, we explore four essential questions about getting weapons with flawless attributes—whether through gameplay or by purchasing them outright.

1. What Counts as a “Perfect” Weapon Roll?

A “perfect roll” typically means a weapon has the highest possible base damage, optimal attribute scaling, and desirable secondary effects (such as bleed buildup or frostbite). In Elden Ring, these factors include:

• Base Attack Power: The innate damage value before scaling.

• Scaling Grades: Ranks (E to S) in Strength, Dexterity, Intelligence, Faith, and Arcane that boost damage.

• Special Effects: Added status damage or unique weapon arts that synergize with your build.

Why Deuterium Oxide Cost Is Surging in 2025 — The Heavy Water Behind Light-Speed Innovation”

In the shadow of nuclear reactors and cutting-edge scientific labs, a silent revolution is brewing — and it’s all about heavy water, or more scientifically, deuterium oxide (D₂O). Once confined to niche nuclear applications, deuterium oxide is now in high demand across medical research, pharmaceuticals, quantum computing, and even semiconductors. But with rising demand comes a critical question: what’s going on with deuterium oxide cost in 2025?

Spoiler alert: it’s rising — and fast.

What Is Deuterium Oxide, and Why Does It Matter?

Deuterium oxide, commonly referred to as “heavy water,” is a form of water where the hydrogen atoms are replaced by deuterium — a stable isotope of hydrogen. While it might sound like science fiction, this isotope-rich water is a key component in nuclear reactors, particularly in CANDU (Canada Deuterium Uranium) reactors, where it…
