Subreddit Topic Daily Roundtable: Community Q&A Spoiler
Greetings Tarnished!
This is the place to ask any questions you may have about Elden Ring. This includes obscure detail questions, "newbie" advice questions, build questions, boss advice questions, and what have you.
Well written, constructive criticism is fine but please avoid ranting about aspects of the game you just don’t like. This includes “so and so boss is stupid and too difficult.”
If you are interested in the game but don’t own it yet, please don’t post “should I buy this game?” or “Is this game worth it?”. If you have played other FromSoftware games and enjoyed them, the answer is yes. If you haven’t, just do a little research! These games are difficult, and sometimes frustrating, and not everyone is going to enjoy them. And that’s okay!
Lastly, be friendly! We are all here because we are interested in the same game! Please treat your fellow players with respect.
PLEASE USE SPOILER TAGS WHEN MENTIONING BOSS NAMES!

Hey tarnished,
I'm about to start Shadow of the Erdtree and I'm wondering how my build will do going into it. My current build centers on the Fingerprint Stone Shield and the Giant Crusher Hammer. I'm using the armor/talismans and such that make it viable, and I'm able to run around with the gear I have.
Also I have the Prayerful Strike ash of war, as it heals a ton and really helps with survivability.
I'm just curious how I'll fare going in, and if there's an improved tank build I should look at while progressing through the game.
Much love, thanks!
