What sword should I use in Elden Ring?

Sword of Light and Darkness are currently the best straight swords in Elden Ring due to its length and really good damage so I decided to give them a fair try. I crafted this build with a main focus to push Sword of Light & Darkness damage as high as possible without over buffing. I think it worked out pretty well!

Is Enma or Shusui stronger?

It's debated, but Enma is generally considered stronger in potential because it forces users to release massive amounts of Haki, unlocking immense power and potentially ascending to Supreme Grade once blackened, while Shusui is already a powerful, unbreakable Black Blade, but its power is more dependent on the swordsman's inherent skill without Enma's Haki-draining ability. Enma's unique ability to draw out power makes it a greater tool for growth, but Shusui's permanent Black Blade status makes it formidable right away, with some fans arguing Shusui is superior.

What is Elon Musk's Elden Ring build?

Elon Musk's Elden Ring build, revealed via Twitter, is famously considered terrible due to its inefficient stats (high INT/MIND, low VIG/END), heavy armor causing "fat rolling," equipping two shields (one useless), and poor talisman/spell choices, despite being an Intelligence/Dexterity (Int/Dex) "power mage" focusing on the Moonveil Katana and sorceries, a concept that sounds good but was implemented disastrously, forcing reliance on Radagon's Soreseal for minimal equip load, which further penalized his already weak defenses.
