In a game filled with colossal blades, frenzied flames, holy lasers, and one-shot madness, Elden Ring's PvP meta always finds ways to evolve. But even as new weapons and ashes dominate the spotlight, there's one archetype that never stops delivering pure satisfaction: the gravity build.

This gravity-focused strength build doesn't just kill-it humiliates, outplays, roll-catches, and quite literally yeets opponents into the abyss. Whether it's yanking invaders off cliffs, detonating enemies in tight corridors, or pulling victims into environmental hazards, this build proves once again that gravity remains one of the most lethal (and hilarious) forces in the Lands Between.

Let's break down what makes this build so strong, why it's perfect for invasions, and the best moments from its devastating showcase.

Why Gravity Builds Are So Strong in Elden Ring PvP

Gravity tools in Elden Ring aren't just about raw damage. What makes them dangerous is battlefield control. They disrupt spacing, manipulate movement, and punish panic rolls-the number-one mistake that most players make in invasions.

This build leverages three weapons that excel in unique ways:

1. Fallingstar Beast Jaw-Long-Range Punish King

The Jaw remains an PvP staple. Its Ash of War, Gravity Bolt, sends a fast, hard-hitting bolt that:

Punishes healing attempts
Roll-catches at mid to long range
Forces players into predictable panic rolls

Once you learn the timing, Gravity Bolt can chain into itself, creating a loop opponents struggle to escape.

2. Ruins Greatsword-The Corridor Menace

Few weapons hit as brutally as the Ruins Greatsword. Its ash, Wave of Destruction, is infamous for two reasons:

Massive hitbox
Near-impossible to dodge in narrow spaces

If the enemy is stuck in a tunnel, bridge, root path, or any environment with limited side-to-side movement, the Ruins Greatsword turns into a delete button.

3. Star Scourge Greatsword-The Cliff Assassin

This iconic Radahn weapon isn't just cool-it's lethal when terrain comes into play. Its pull effect easily drags players off ledges, and its vertical control makes it the best tool in Elden Ring for environmental kills.

Pair all this with Endure on a dagger to shrug off interruptions, and you've got one of the most versatile and unpredictable builds in PvP.

Stats, Talismans, and Armor Choices

While gravity seems like an Intelligence-focused playstyle, this is actually a Strength build first, since every weapon here scales best with high STR. The Intelligence requirement is minimal and simply used to meet weapon thresholds.

Talisman Setup

The talismans complete the identity of the build:

Shard of Alexander-Enhances all Ashes of War for heavier gravity hits

Two-Handed Sword Talisman-Boosts two-hand damage since almost every weapon is used two-handed

Erdtree's Favor +2-More stamina, health, and equip load-staples for invasion survivability

Bull-Goat's Talisman-Extra poise for trading into panic rolls

If you need more equip load for armor variety, the Great Jar's Arsenal works as a swap-in.

Armor

Fashion is subjective, but the showcased look highlights gold accents that match the aesthetic of the Star Scourge blades. It's stylish without sacrificing function, offering excellent poise for trading in chaotic three-on-one encounters.

Invasion Showcase: Gravity Chaos in Every Corner

The true beauty of this build lies in live invasions. You can theorycraft all day-but until you've pulled three people off a cliff using Radahn's gravity magic, you haven't lived.

Here are the highlights from the invasion tour across the Lands Between.

Perfumer's Grotto-The Legendary Triple Kill

Gravity builds shine brightest when terrain is deadly, and Perfumer's Grotto is filled with narrow roots, drop-offs, and environmental hazards.

The chase begins innocently enough, with the invader baiting enemies deeper into the cave. But once everyone steps onto a tree root above a drop…

One mispositioned blue phantom is dragged into the abyss. Then another. Then the host.

A full team wipe-by gravity alone.

This is the kind of clip that makes gravity builds legendary.

Crumbling Farum Azula-The Narrow Hallway Deletion

Farum Azula is a gravity user's playground thanks to narrow walkways, elevational traps, and endless ledges.

One sequence stands out: the invader finds a team in a tight corridor, swaps to the Ruins Greatsword, and unleashes a Wave of Destruction. It should have been an instant double KO, but lag robs the play.

Still, gravity users don't stay down long.

A strategic pull knocks the phantom off the edge, while the host tries to escape only to get roll-caught with a perfectly timed Gravity Bolt.

One weapon swap. One spell. One mistake from the opponent.
Dead.The Moghwyn Palace Ledge Run

The red host pesters a group with long-range Gravity Bolts, keeping them aggressive. The key to gravity kills is maintaining pressure until the enemy overcommits.

Shadow Keep-The Surprise Cliff Collapse

In one of the funniest invasions of the whole run, the invader leads a team over a tree root bridge. One phantom rolls early, assuming the fight would begin.

Instead, he accidentally combos himself off the cliff.

Gravity users don't always need to pull. Sometimes enemies just need to panic.

The Moonveil Duel-"Dishonest!"

No Elden Ring PvP session is complete without a Moonveil user. In a chaotic 2v1 on a wooden platform, the invader out-trades both attackers with gravity slams and bolt casts.

One phantom mistimes a dodge and eats an explosion. The host tries to Moonveil punish but walks right into a pull.

The host survives-barely-landing on a tiny ledge.

But gravity is patient.


One more cast, and the host finally falls.

Crumbling Farum Azula Dragon Fight-Punishing Panic Rolls

Invading dragon fights is dangerous because environmental damage stacks with enemy aggression. But that's where Gravity Bolt shines.

As the dragon fries the battlefield, the host desperately dodges backward-straight into a gravity explosion.

A pull catches him while the dragon breathes behind him.

He dodges the pull. He dodges the fire.

But he can't dodge both.

Gravity plus dragon flame equals one of the most cinematic kills of the session.

Star Scourge Greatsword: The MVP of the Build

Every weapon plays a role, but one stands far above the rest: the Star Scourge Greatsword.

This weapon defines the gravity playstyle:

Massive AoE pull
Incredible cliff utility
Great trading capability
Works on teams, solos, and tight spaces

It's also the weapon that helped secure the vast majority of environmental kills during the invasions. When enemies roll in panic, the pull drags them right where you want them-into pits, off platforms, into spike ceilings, and anywhere gravity can finish the job.

Nothing is more satisfying than watching a host realize-too late-that they've been herded toward a cliff.

Why Gravity Builds Will Always Be Fun

Gravity builds aren't meta. They're not even close to the highest DPS setups in the game. But they offer something far more valuable:

Unpredictability
Style
Comedy
Environmental mastery
Control over chaotic team fights

PvP in Elden Ring is at its best when mechanics, terrain, and mind games all merge into one moment. Gravity builds create those moments better than anything else.

A perfect pull off a cliff is worth 10 regular kills.

Conclusion

Whether you're a longtime invader or someone looking to spice up DLC PvP, the gravity build remains one of the most entertaining ways to play Elden Ring. With the Fallingstar Beast Jaw, Ruins Greatsword, and Star Scourge Greatsword at your disposal, you can threaten enemies at every range-and delete them with terrain whenever an opportunity appears.

From triple kills in Perfumer's Grotto to cliffside chaos in Farum Azula, this build proves that gravity remains undefeated. If you want a playstyle filled with laughter, stylish kills, and maximum disrespect, this is the build to try.
