Elden Ring DLC Guide: The Marais Executioner’s Sword One-Shot Build

This Strength/Arcane build revolves entirely around the Marais Executioner’s Sword from the base game. The weapon’s Ash of War—a drilling corkscrew attack—can one-shot players when properly optimized. The build targets ~RL200 for maximum stat efficiency. If you enjoy optimizing powerful setups like this, you can buy Elden Ring Runes to accelerate your own high-end builds in Path of Exile 2.

Stats (Approximate)

· Strength: 54 (two-handing soft cap)

· Arcane: Slightly higher than Strength (weird B-scaling makes Arcane more valuable past 54 STR)

· Rest into Vigor, Endurance, and Mind as needed

Talismans

1. Shard of Alexander – +15% Ash of War damage

2. Rotten Winged Sword Insignia – Boosts successive attacks

3. Millicent’s Prosthesis – Further successive attack buff + Dexterity

4. Bull-Goat’s Talisman – Increases poise to land your attack without being stunned

5. Alternative: Godfrey Icon for the charged version of the Ash of War.

Armor

· Rakshasa Set – +2% damage per piece (4 pieces = +8%)

· Greaves of Solitude (replace Rakshasa legs) – Pushes poise above the 88 breakpoint to tank through light attacks

Consumables

· Exalted Flesh – Physical damage buff

· Uplifting Aromatic – Damage boost + protective bubble

Playstyle Tips

The Ash of War is slow but devastating. To land it:

· Bait enemies into running at you

· Roll-catch panic rolls after predicting their movement

· Use the uncharged version for speed; charged for range and max damage

· Boulder toss (from Beast incantations) complements the setup as a spacing tool

Poise & Trading

You need 88+ poise to avoid getting stunned mid-animation. The Bull-Goat talisman + Solitude Greaves achieves this while keeping Rakshasa’s damage bonus elsewhere.

Why Strength/Arcane?

The weapon has B scaling in Strength, but two-handing past 54 gives diminishing returns. Arcane boosts both physical damage and bleed buildup on the Ash of War, making it the better investment for raw AR.

Matchup Examples

· Haligtree: Two-for-one skewer through a phantom and host

· Subterranean Shunning Grounds: Rolled through Blasphemous Blade wave then one-shot with charged drill

· Death-touched Catacombs: Out-traded Waterfowl Dance with your Ash

Final Notes

This is a high-risk, high-reward invasion build. You’ll whiff often, but when the drill connects, it’s a guaranteed kill. Keep your buffs up, maintain poise, and bait aggressively. If you want to fund similarly powerful setups in other games, you can buy cheap Elden Ring Runes to save time on grinding. Good luck, Tarnished.
