This blog post will summarize Fextralife’s video guide on building a Fire Knight Impaler in Elden Ring. The build focuses on using the Spear of the Impaler, a weapon obtained by defeating Mesmer the Impaler and using his remembrance back in Round Table Hole. The weapon deals both physical and fiery damage, with the fire damage being more prominent depending on the allocation of stat points between dexterity and Faith. While dexterity scales better overall, Faith affects the fire damage of the weapon skill, making it worth prioritizing to some extent. The video also discusses the throwing capability of the weapon, as well as the deadly weapon skill called Mesmer Assault.
