Electrify Armament is an incantation spell in Elden Ring. It is one of the Dragon Cult Incantations.
Description[]
One of the incantations of the capital's ancient dragon cult.
Enchants armament held in the right hand with lightning-affinity attacks.
Long ago, Godwyn the Golden defeated the ancient dragon Fortissax, and befriended his fallen foe — an event that gave rise to the ancient dragon cult in the capital.
Acquisition[]
Purchase: Roundtable Hold / Liurnia of the Lakes / Altus Plateau / Leyndell, Royal Capital / Mountaintops of the Giants
- Sold for 4,000 Runes by Brother Corhyn or Miriel, Pastor of Vows after giving either of them the Dragon Cult Prayerbook.
- Should the prayerbook be given to one of them and then have that instructor die before purchasing this Incantation, then the player can still purchase it from the Twin Maiden Husks for the same price, after giving them the respective tutor's Bell Bearing.
- WARNING: Should both Corhyn and Miriel die before giving either of them the prayerbook then this incantation becomes unavailable for that character until a new Journey is started.
Effects[]
Grants the right-hand weapon a Weapon Buff giving bonus Lightning Attack Power equal to 75% of the Faith-based Incantation Scaling of the Sacred Seal used to cast it for 90 seconds.
Notes[]
- Costs 10 points of Stamina to cast.
- Despite being a Dragon Cult Incantation, this spell, like other spell-based weapon buffs, does not get bonus damage from its associated seal (the Gravel Stone Seal for this one).
- This is generally the strongest Faith-based weapon buff: Order's Blade requires a light Intelligence investment and grants the more often resisted Holy, Black Flame Blade has a very short duration of 7 seconds (9.1 seconds with Old Lord's Talisman) even with it dealing damage based on the target's maximum HP, and Bloodflame Blade only grants Fire Attack Power equal to 40% of Incantation Scaling.
- Like with all spell-based Weapon Buffs, it can only be cast when a weapon is held in the right hand and the casting implement in the left hand.
- Outmatched by Lightning Grease and Skill: Lightning Slash below 114 Incantation Scaling and by Dragonbolt Grease
below 160 Incantation Scaling.
- Though they cast much quicker and last for a shorter duration, Drawstring Lightning Grease is stronger below 147 Incantation Scaling while Drawstring Dragonbolt Grease is stronger below 180 Incantation Scaling.
- Lightning Slash has the advantage of also being usable for weapons with the otherwise unbuffable (not counting other skills) Lightning and Sacred Affinity weapons.
- Though they cast much quicker and last for a shorter duration, Drawstring Lightning Grease is stronger below 147 Incantation Scaling while Drawstring Dragonbolt Grease
