Several of the best weapons in the game are fire-based in general. Not only do these weapons look great, but they can also deal a significant amount of damage, making them some of the most popular choices among Elden Ring players.
These weapons can also pair well with other types of builds, such as bleed builds. Overall, these weapons boast a fantastic attack range that varies from short to medium, along with a variety of truly spectacular special abilities. These are the best fire weapons in Elden Ring. Some of these weapons are quite challenging to obtain.
7. Magma Blade
This weapon stands out as one of the most effective fire weapons in Elden Ring. This is because it has a long attack range, is fast, and does not require high stats to use.
Faith-based builds often use it to capitalize on its special ability. To use this weapon, you will need 9 strength, 16 faith, and 15 dexterity. One way to obtain this weapon is within the Volcano Manor area. If the Man-Serpent enemies glow orange during your fight, they may drop this weapon.
It is rare to find such a versatile and fast weapon that also deals fire damage. The Magma Blade’s special ability, Magma Shower, complements its powerful moves.
This ability allows you to perform a quick series of fire-based strikes while leaving a small pool of magma in your wake. It’s perfect for persistently accumulating burn damage. This weapon will be even more effective against any enemy weak to fire.
6. Grafted Dragon
This unique fist-style weapon is essentially a miniature dragon that you can use to strike your enemies. Despite not being one of the most effective fire weapons, its special ability makes it a perfect fit in either a faith or strength build, or even a hybrid of both attributes.
To obtain the Remembrance of the Grafted, you must defeat Godrick the Grafted in the Stormveil Castle area. Once you have this item, you must exchange it with Enia to get the Grafted Dragon.
To wield this weapon, you require a total of 20 strength, 16 faith, and 14 dexterity points. Being primarily a strength-based weapon of the fist type, it will be relatively easy to handle.
Although you will need to get close to the target to hit it, a couple of powerful strikes will deal a significant amount of damage to the opponent. On the other hand, it is also very useful for dodging ranged attacks, and it can quickly restart the offensive strikes.
This weapon’s Bear Witness ability, which shoots small fire meteors upwards to inflict fire damage on surrounding opponents, is another amazing feature. Before firing the fireballs, the weapon will also make a slam on the ground to initiate the combo. You can also check the best build for strength in Elden Ring.
5. Giant’s Red Braid
Generally, more experienced Elden Ring players do not consider whips to be good weapons. But in the case of the Giant’s Red Braid, everything changes because it has a broad attack range, which varies from medium to long.
Additionally, it offers a spectacular fire ability that justifies its use. You must obtain the Remembrance of the Fire Giant by defeating it at Flame Peak in the Mountaintops of the Giants.
Once you have that item, you must trade it with Enia to receive the Giant’s Red Braid. One peculiarity of this weapon is its short attacks, with combos not exceeding 1 to 3 hits.
The necessary stats to use this weapon are 18 strength, 21 faith, and 12 dexterity. This weapon’s special ability, Dance of Flames, is its best feature. This will increase the weapon’s range while covering the whip in fire, dealing spectacular area fire damage.
4. Magma Wyrm’s Scalesword
This particular weapon is not one of the most versatile or the fastest in Elden Ring, but it deals a lot of damage. It also has a devastating special attack that justifies the lack of maneuverability when landing blows.
Its most powerful charged attack can do over 1000 damage (with the right build, of course), making it incredibly effective in combat if you manage to hit your target.
The only downside to this weapon is that it is complicated to use and difficult to swing. To obtain this weapon, you must defeat Magma Wyrm Makar at the Ruin-Strewn Precipice in the northern part of Liurnia of the Lakes. To wield this enormous sword, you will require 24 strength, 18 faith, and 15 dexterity points.
Its special ability, called Magma Guillotine, will add even more fire damage, in addition to dealing a spectacular amount of physical damage. It will deal solid hits to the opponent, submerging them in a pool of magma that will take a long time to disappear.
3. Eleonora’s Poleblade
Considered the best twinblade in the entire game, this weapon can truly make a difference in combat, in addition to dealing a significant amount of fire damage. Besides the negligible physical and fire damage it deals, it can also build up bleed damage, making it truly lethal on virtually all fronts.
To obtain this spectacular weapon in Elden Ring, you must defeat Eleonora, Violet Bloody Finger, at the Second Church of Marika. Using this weapon will not only give you a spectacular attack range that varies from short to medium, but it will also be quick and very versatile for rolling and striking constantly.
Eleonora’s Poleblade is one of the best weapons in the game, and to use it, you will only need 12 strength, 19 arcane, and 21 dexterity.
Proving further that it is one of the best weapons in the game, its special ability called Bloodblade Dance not only deals massive damage while continuing to build up bleed effects, but it is also virtually unblockable and uninterruptible.
2. Blasphemous Blade
Beyond being one of the best fire weapons available in Elden Ring, the Blasphemous Blade is widely regarded as one of the best weapons in the game—a consensus held by nearly all players. The unique feature of this sword is that it also heals its wielder while attacking with the AOW, making it an almost perfect weapon.
To obtain this particular weapon, you must defeat Rykard, Lord of Blasphemy, at Mt. Gelmir. Upon defeating him, you will receive the Remembrance of the Blasphemous, which, if exchanged with Enia, will grant you the Blasphemous Blade. Depending on the type of attack you use, the average damage points of this weapon can range from 400 to 600.
On the other hand, the charged attack will deal over 1000 damage points. Its handling is slow and heavy, but each strike of this sword is truly lethal in virtually any confrontation, making it practically unnecessary to utilize a combo due to the negligible damage that deals.
To wield this sword, you require a total of 22 strength, 21 faith, and 15 dexterity points. You can use the special ability Taker’s Flames to add even more fire damage.
This skill generates a column of fire that heads straight for the opponent, even from a considerable distance.
1. Sword of Night and Flame
The powerful Sword of Night and Flame is another of the best fire damage weapons, boasting several abilities. This weapon deals devastating damage with its special ability, making it one of the most desired by Elden Ring players.
It is not too difficult to obtain this weapon, but you need to make a small trek inside Caria Manor, in a locked room behind the gardens on the west side of the mansion. The most impressive aspect of this weapon is its special ability, which has two parts and will likely end up killing your opponent without hesitation.
This is one of the most demanding weapons on the list in terms of attributes since it requires 24 intelligence, 24 faith, 12 strength, and 12 dexterity.
In terms of its special attack, known as the Night and Flame Stance, it utilizes a thrust that launches a beam that inflicts significant fire damage, followed by a sweeping strike that also inflicts fire damage, albeit at a shorter range.
This special attack can make a significant difference in combat if executed fully. Despite appearances, the second maneuver in the special attack has a medium reach, so your enemy will not always be able to dodge it easily.
