Mmoexp Elden Ring: Recommended Mixes for Arcane Builds

When you're running an Arcane-focused build in Elden Ring, the Wondrous Physick Flask becomes one of your strongest support tools. Since Arcane builds often rely heavily on spells, status effect buildup, and high FP usage, the right mix of Crystal Tears can maximize your offense, resource management, and survivability during tough battles.

 

Here's a detailed breakdown of recommended Wondrous Physick mixes specifically tailored for Arcane builds:

 

1. Cerulean Hidden Tear + Flame-Shrouding Cracked Tear

 

Effect:

 

Cerulean Hidden Tear: Eliminates FP consumption for a short time.

 

Flame-Shrouding Cracked Tear: Boosts fire attack power.

 

Best For:

 

Builds that use Dragon Communion spells like Ekzykes's Decay or Dragonfire. Many Arcane spells scale fire damage or have heavy FP demands, and this mix lets you spam spells freely with amplified fire power for a brief but lethal window.

 

Use During:

 

Boss fights where burst damage is crucial.

 

PvP fights where overwhelming your opponent quickly is the goal.

 

2. Cerulean Hidden Tear + Stonebarb Cracked Tear

 

Effect:

 

Cerulean Hidden Tear: No FP consumption temporarily.

 

Stonebarb Cracked Tear: Increases poise and reduces spell interruption.

 

Best For:

 

Arcane builds that cast slow, heavy spells or dragon incantations that leave you open to being staggered. This combo lets you fire off devastating incantations without worrying about FP or minor enemy attacks breaking your concentration.

 

Use During:

 

The boss fights against aggressive melee bosses.

 

Group encounters where constant pressure could otherwise interrupt your casting.

 

3. Opaline Hardtear + Cerulean Crystal Tear

 

Effect:

 

Opaline Hardtear: Boosts all damage negation temporarily.

 

Cerulean Crystal Tear: Restores half of your FP instantly.

 

Best For:

 

Arcane builds that want a balance between survival and sustainability. You'll get a defensive buff to survive incoming attacks and a major FP refill so you can continue using spells longer without switching to your Cerulean Flask.

 

Use During:

 

Dungeon crawling or open-world exploration.

 

Boss fights with multiple heavy damage phases.

 

4. Thorny Cracked Tear + Green burst Crystal Tear

 

Effect:

 

Thorny Cracked Tear: Successive attacks boost attack power.

 

Greenburst Crystal Tear: Boosts stamina recovery speed.

 

Best For:

 

Hybrid Arcane builds that use fast melee weapons (like Reduvia or Bloody Helice) with bleed buildup. This combination lets you chain melee attacks faster and increase attack power, synergizing with Arcane's natural boost to status effect buildup.

 

Use During:

 

PvP duels where quick, and successive hits can overwhelm enemies.

 

Fighting mobs or bosses susceptible to bleed.

 

5. Magic-Shrouding Cracked Tear + Cerulean Hidden Tear

 

Effect:

 

Magic-Shrouding Cracked Tear: Boosts magic attack power.

 

Cerulean Hidden Tear: Prevents FP consumption temporarily.

 

Best For:

 

Arcane builds using Glintstone sorceries enhanced by Arcane scaling (e.g., Albinauric Staff sorcery builds). It massively increases your spell potency while giving you a window of free casting.

 

Use During:

 

Magic-focused boss battles where quick DPS wins fights.

 

PvP scenarios when you want to flood the opponent with spells.

 

6. Crimsonspill Crystal Tear + Cerulean Hidden Tear

 

Effect:

 

Crimsonspill Crystal Tear: Increases maximum HP.

 

Cerulean Hidden Tear: Removes FP cost for a short time.

 

Best For:

 

Fragile Arcane casters who need a small HP buffer but still want to blast powerful incantations without worrying about FP. Good for builds that invest heavily in Mind and Arcane but are light on Vigor.

 

Use During:

 

Long boss fights where endurance matters.

 

Areas with swarms of enemies where getting sniped is a risk.

 

General Strategy for Arcane Physick Mixes

 

When choosing your Physick mix for an Arcane build, think about your situation:

 

If you're focusing on pure spell output, → Always consider Cerulean Hidden Tear to remove FP worries.

 

If you're hybrid with weapons and magic → Mix stamina recovery, poise, or successive attack buffs.

 

If you're fragile and need more defense, → Add damage negation or HP boost effects.

 

Timing matters too:

 

Use the Wondrous Physick before engaging in a boss battle or right before a tough PvP fight. Ideally, time it so your free casting and buffs overlap with your most intensive spellcasting phase.

 

If you're stocked with high-value Elden Ring items and Elden Ring runes, you're perfectly positioned to make the most out of this mechanic.
