Elden Ring: The Giza's Wheel Quality Build Guide
This build focuses on the Giza's Wheel, a colossal weapon with a unique heavy attack that spins the wheel, allowing for massive multi-hit damage and bleed buildup. Designed by Chase the Bro, this quality build excels in hyper-armor trades and deals devastating damage when optimized, much like the power surge you get when you buy Elden Ring Runes for top-tier gear.
Weapon: Giza's Wheel
· Type: Colossal Weapon
· Key Feature: The one-handed heavy attack (R2) spins the wheel, landing multiple hits on enemies to trigger consecutive attack buffs and bleed.
· Important: The one-handed heavy attack is more effective than the two-handed version for building multi-hit bonuses.
Stat Allocation (Level 150 Example)
· Vigor: 50-60
· Mind: 15-20
· Endurance: 30-40 (for equip load and stamina)
· Strength: 40
· Dexterity: 40
· Intelligence: Base
· Faith: Base
· Arcane: Base
· Note: This is a quality build, so Str and Dex are evenly balanced. Adjust Endurance based on your armor and stamina needs.
Talismans
1. Rotten Winged Sword Insignia – Increases attack power with successive hits.
2. Millicent's Prosthesis – Boosts Dex and adds consecutive attack damage.
3. Great-Jar's Arsenal – Increases equip load (essential for heavy weapons and armor).
4. Bull-Goat's Talisman – Enhances poise for trading hits.
5. Optional Swap: Axe Talisman – boosts charged attack damage if you plan to trade with fully charged heavy attacks.
Amor & Fashion
· Armor is flexible; prioritize poise and defense while maintaining medium roll.
· Chase the Bro uses a mix for fashion and stats—aim for at least 51+ poise to tank through hits.
Buffs & Consumables
· Exalted Flesh – Boosts physical attack.
· Uplifting Aromatic – Provides damage absorption and a damage buff.
· Boiled Crab – Increases physical damage negation.
· Wonderous Physick – Consider using the Stonebarb Cracked Tear to break stances or Greenspill Crystal Tear for stamina.
Playstyle & Tips
Key Moves:
· One-Handed Heavy Attack (R2): The core of the build. Use it to land multiple spins on enemies, triggering consecutive attack buffs and bleed.
· Fully Charged Heavy Attack: Equip the Axe Talisman for massive trade damage—can one-shot low-Vigor players.
· Jump Attacks: Use for closing distance or initial engages.
Strategies:
1. Trade with Hyper-Armor: The Giza's Wheel has hyper-armor on heavy attacks. Bait opponents into attacking, then trade with a charged R2.
2. Bleed Buildup: The wheel’s multi-hit nature builds bleed quickly—watch for proc opportunities.
3. Positioning: Lure enemies into narrow spaces where the wheel’s wide swings are harder to avoid.
4. Buff Management: Pre-buff with Exalted Flesh and Uplifting Aromatic before engagements for maximum damage.
PvP Tips:
· Against Ganks: Use terrain to your advantage. In 3v1 scenarios, use the wheel’s wide arcs to hit multiple foes.
· Versus Shields: The Giza's Wheel’s heavy attack can partially ignore shields—useful against greatshield users.
· Latency Awareness: Be mindful of lag; the wheel’s hitboxes can feel inconsistent with high latency.
Weapon Alternatives
If the Giza's Wheel isn’t available, consider:
· Greatsword (Colossal)
· Watchdog's Staff
· Fallingstar Beast Jaw
Weaknesses & Counters
· Slow Attacks: Easy to punish if whiffed. Use heavies sparingly against fast weapons.
· Stamina Heavy: Manage stamina carefully—don’t get caught empty.
· Range: Lacks forward thrust; use jumping attacks to close gaps.
Final Thoughts
The Giza's Wheel build is a powerhouse for players who enjoy slow, high-impact weapons that reward smart trading and positioning. With the right setup, you can melt health bars and bleed out foes in seconds. To expedite your build assembly and dominate the Lands Between, many adventurers choose to buy cheap Elden Ring Items from trusted sources like MMOEXP. Experiment with talismans and buffs to suit your playstyle, and don’t forget to enjoy the fashion.
