With the release of Elden Ring patch 1.03, the authors of FromSoftware have introduced a wide range of new features within their latest Action RPG. Among new NPCs, expansions of quests and further interventions, the update did not fail to introduce some changes to the balance of the combat system.
Consequently, the weapons he has at the disposal of the Lightless may have seen their effectiveness changed, both in terms of blades and the like and in terms of spells and sorceries. For this reason, it may be useful to take a look at the main variations introduced on this front. Obviously, we point out a risk of spoilers to follow.
Among the weapons affected by patch 1.03, we first find the Sword of Night and Flame, whose power has actually been reduced with the update. From tests conducted by the community, the power of the blade is now less than about 20%: you can see it in action in the first video available below.
Variations also for many spells, among which we can mention Hoarfrost Stomp. Other spells have become more effective, such as Night Comet. In this case, the references are to the second and third video at the bottom of this news. Have you already noticed major changes to your build?
In closing, we remind you that the 1.03 update of Elden Ring has also added a useful function to the game map, which now reports the position of the NPCs you have already encountered.
