About This Elden Ring Build Planner

Elden Ring Build Calculator & Character Planner

This Elden Ring build calculator — also a full character planner and character builder — lets you plan every attribute point from your starting class all the way to level 713. Select from all 10 starting classes — Vagabond, Warrior, Hero, Bandit, Astrologer, Prophet, Confessor, Prisoner, Samurai, and Wretch — and allocate Vigor, Mind, Endurance, Strength, Dexterity, Intelligence, Faith, and Arcane with live feedback on HP, FP, Stamina, Equip Load, and Discovery. Use the Copy Build URL button in the Build Planner to save or share any build you plan.

Elden Ring AR Calculator & Weapon Scaling

The Elden Ring AR calculator (Attack Rating calculator) computes your weapon's total damage using your stats, chosen affinity, and upgrade level (+0 to +25 standard, +0 to +10 somber). It displays the physical, magic, fire, lightning, and holy AR breakdown side-by-side for two weapons at once across every category — Colossal Swords, Greatswords, Katanas, Daggers, Halberds, Spears, Glintstone Staves, and Sacred Seals. Read the full AR Calculator & Weapon Scaling guide for how affinities and two-handing change your damage.

Starting Class Optimizer

Picking the right starting class is the first stat-efficiency decision you'll make. Each of the 10 classes starts at a different level with a different stat spread, so the "cheapest" path to a given build varies by class. The class optimizer panel lets you preview every class's starting stats instantly — see the Starting Class Optimizer guide for a full side-by-side comparison and recommendations per build archetype.

Soft Caps & Stat Calculator

Knowing Elden Ring's soft caps is essential for efficient stat allocation with this stat calculator. Vigor soft caps at 40 (1,020 HP) and 60 (1,900 HP). Mind at 55 and 60. Endurance at 50 and 60. Strength and Dexterity offer strong returns up to 54, then diminishing returns to the effective cap at 80. Intelligence soft caps at 55 and 80; Faith and Arcane at 45 and 80. Every stat bar above turns gold at each breakpoint — full tables in the Stat Calculator & Soft Caps guide.

Equip Load & Rune Calculator

Endurance drives two things at once: your max equip load and your Stamina. The Character Summary panel above tracks your live equip-load percentage against the light, medium, and heavy roll thresholds as you gear up — see the Equip Load Calculator guide for the full breakpoint table. The rune calculator alongside it estimates exactly how many runes you need to hit any target level — details and a full cost table are in the Rune Calculator guide.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the soft caps in Elden Ring?

Vigor soft caps at 40 (1,020 HP) and 60 (1,900 HP). Mind soft caps at 55 and 60 for FP. Endurance soft caps at 50 and 60 for Stamina. Strength and Dexterity give strong returns up to 54, then taper off toward the effective cap at 80. Intelligence soft caps at 55 and 80. Faith and Arcane soft cap at 45 and 80. The stat calculator above marks every one of these on the live stat bars as you allocate points.

How does the Elden Ring AR calculator work?

The AR calculator uses your build's stats, chosen weapon affinity, and upgrade level (+0 to +25 standard, +0 to +10 somber) to compute total Attack Rating — the physical, magic, fire, lightning, and holy damage breakdown — using Elden Ring's internal stat-correction scaling curves. Two-handing automatically applies the 1.5× Strength bonus, and it warns you instantly if your stats don't meet the weapon's requirements.

What does two-handing do in Elden Ring?

Two-handing a weapon multiplies your Strength stat by 1.5 for scaling and requirement purposes, capped at an effective 99 Strength. This lets you meet Strength requirements with fewer points invested and can noticeably raise AR on Strength-scaling weapons without spending a single extra rune on Strength.

What is the best starting class in Elden Ring?

It depends on your intended build — see the Starting Class Optimizer guide for a full stat-by-stat comparison of all 10 classes. Vagabond is the most balanced pick for melee builds thanks to high starting Vigor, Wretch offers the most flexibility since every stat begins at 10, Astrologer is the standard choice for Intelligence/sorcery builds, and Bandit or Prophet suit Arcane/bleed and Faith builds respectively.

How many runes does it cost to reach level 150 in Elden Ring?

Reaching level 150 from level 1 costs roughly 15.8 million runes total, and the cost per level keeps climbing the higher you go. The rune cost box above shows the exact number of runes needed from your current level to any target level — see the Rune Calculator guide for a full level-by-level cost table.

How is equip load calculated in Elden Ring?

Equip load is the combined weight of your armor, weapons, and talismans measured against your max carry weight, which rises with Endurance. Roll speed depends on the load percentage: under 29.9% gives a fast light roll, under 69.9% a medium roll, under 100% a slow heavy roll, and 100% or more locks you into a guard-countered fat roll. See the Equip Load Calculator guide for the full Endurance-to-max-load breakpoint table.

Is this Elden Ring build calculator free to use?

Yes — every feature, including the Build Planner, AR Calculator, Weapon Scaling reference, Rune Calculator, and equip-load tracking, is free with no account or sign-up. It runs entirely in your browser; your build is encoded into the page URL for sharing, and nothing is ever sent to a server.

How does this compare to MugenMonkey or SoulsPlanner?

MugenMonkey and SoulsPlanner are general multi-game character planners, so Elden Ring is just one of many games they cover. This calculator is built specifically around Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree, and pairs the stat planner with a live side-by-side AR calculator, equip-load tracking tied to your actual Endurance, and a rune-cost estimator in the same view — so you can see the trade-off of a single stat point without switching tools.
