Though many weapons in the game come with unmodifiable, innate Weapon Skills, Elden Ring players can also infuse many weapons with Ashes of War collected while adventuring in the Lands Between. There are a lot of Ashes of War in Elden Ring, but you can’t put any Ash of War on any weapon (or Shield).

Choosing the right weapon is essential in a game like Elden Ring. These are some of the best options for players just starting out.
In total, there are more than a hundred Ashes of War in Elden Ring and the DLC, Shadow of the Erdtree – just over 90 in the base game, and just under 30 in the DLC.

You can’t put every Ash of War on every item, though, so this full Ash of War list for Elden Ring also details the specific types of armaments these weapon skills can be used on.
