Finding a play style that suits you in a game like Elden Ring might be difficult. Making a build decision can be challenging for both experienced players and new players because there are 10 classes and 8 different skills to level up. But don't worry, because this book will provide insightful information regardless of which end of that spectrum you fall on. Magic, one of Elden Ring's most crucial concepts, is frequently misunderstood. We shall go deeply into our favorite wizard in this guide: The Astrologer.
Base Stats
It is extremely evident that Elden Ring's resident magician will be The Astrologer. He or she is exceptional in intelligence, dexterity, and mind (mana pool). While this is happening, the levels of stats like Faith and Strength significantly decline.
| Level | 6 |
| Vigor | 9 |
| Mind | 15 |
| Endurance | 9 |
| Strength | 8 |
| Dexterity | 12 |
| Intelligence | 16 |
| Faith | 7 |
| Arcane | 9 |
The Astrologer may first appear to be weaker than the other classes based on this chart, but it's vital to remember that they shouldn't actually be too close to foes. As a result, traits like vigor and endurance won't be particularly important.
Starting Equipment
Fortunately for us, the astrologer casts two powerful spells to start. For almost the whole game, Glintstone Pebble and Glintstone Arc will be powerhouses. When fighting larger enemy groupings, use Glintstone Arc rather than Glintstone Pebble. The astrologer does start out with a short sword and a little shield, but if you are using your magic effectively, they shouldn't be getting much use. However, the personnel will continue to be very competent for a while. Though better staff will ultimately be found, don't worry about it too much in the beginning.
The Golden Seed is always the sole truly priceless memento while constructing your character, so make sure to choose it before beginning the game. Additionally, the astrologer is rather distinctive in that you will undoubtedly want to allocate your flasks to favor FP. It is strongly advised to use an 80-20 FP to HP flask ratio.
Leveling Up
Elden Ring players should always level up in relation to their initial stats. This would require the astrologer to keep their intelligence and mental faculties at very high levels while allowing their physical attributes like strength and vitality to suffer some losses. Keep in mind that min-maxing is a very viable technique for the astrologer and will almost certainly occur. Just keep in mind: never believe statistics. Instead of being beneficial, doing so would reduce the astrologer's ability to perform intelligent incantations and religious rituals.
Important Gear
The astrologist is distinct in that upgrading equipment is typically not a top priority. However, there are some early-game spells that you should definitely pick up whenever you are nearby. Before leaving the initial locations, players should definitely make their way to the Waypoint Ruins. There is a boss battle to enter, but it's really not that difficult, and the prize is excellent. By doing this, a store that only offers things for intelligence builds will become accessible. Every spell the sorcerer sells is worth getting, with the exception probably of the Scholar's Armament.
The "Demi-Human Ruins" are a location south of Limgrave where you can locate a decent staff if you find yourself in need of one with more strength. A mini-boss will appear once you enter. However, if you can fight her, you will receive a staff that is marginally more effective than the one you started with.
How to Play the Astrologer
The astrologer should be aware that she is not at all equipped for hand-to-hand fighting. Whenever you can, keep your distance. Maintaining obstacles between you and your opponents, such as a tree or boulder, and using those to weave around while you fire shots off, is a solid approach. Just be careful not to try casting a spell with a depleted mana pool in confined spaces. This starts a torturously drawn-out animation that leaves the character exposed. Of course, as the game goes on, you'll pick up a lot of fresh, potent spells that will give you a lot more freedom in how you go about things.
