ELDEN RING Patch Notes 1.13 – Full Summary of Changes
The Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree update addressed various bugs and adjusted the damage output of certain skills, notably Ash of War: Swift Slash and Rolling Sparks. However, the Impenetrable Thorns sorcery remains a powerful option, particularly when combined with high Arcane and Intelligence stats in PvP scenarios.
The Impenetrable Thorns sorcery derives its effectiveness from its multi-hit thorn attacks at close range, scaling with Faith and Intelligence, and its exceptional bleed buildup. Players with high Arcane stats (around 80) can rapidly trigger the bleed status effect, dealing massive damage to opponents.
