Most Arcane builds in Elden Ring revolve around effects like Hemorrhage and Frostbite. The often-overlooked Scarlet Rot builds made a comeback in Shadow of the Erdtree with the Poleblade of the Bud. After you defeat Romina for this weapon, this is how you can build around it.

Scarlet Rot builds are generally rare in Elden Ring because they don’t deal as much damage as bleed builds or have as much crowd control as frost builds. However, with the new Poleblade of the Bud Remembrance weapon in Shadow of the Erdtree, this build will amplify your Rot damage, making it great against bosses and in PvP.
