From Software’s 1.13 update for Elden Ring is available now and introduces a lot of changes to the game. A significant part of the update aims to make it easier to kill one another in PvP, as well as general balance adjustments and changes to Armaments.
Going forward, poise damage will be increased for Light Great Swords, Backhand Blades, Hand-to-Hand Arts, and Beast Claws whenever someone plays PvP. The same applies to dual-wield attacks, which includes weapons like Straight Swords, Thursting Swords, and Curved Swords. In addition, whenever players use Miriam’s Vanishing, they’ll have a decreased invulnerability window against other players when they attack.
Aside from PvP, Needle Knight Leda, Pureblood Knight Ansbach, and Thiollier will receive increased stats when summoned in specific areas. Summoned Spirits will now have higher attack power and damage negation unless they are the Mimic Tear with a Revered Spirit Ash Blessing with five or more.
