The Astrologer is a magic-based class in Elden Ring with several different builds players can choose to create. While each player will have different preferences for stats, spells, and equipment, there are principles that apply to every build of the Astrologer. Players who want to primarily, if not exclusively, wield magic as their main weapon against enemies are best suited to the Astrologer class in Elden Ring.
Astrologers are the perfect class to create an offensive mage build entirely focused on magic. Astrologers begin with high Mind and Intelligence stats, which are the most important stats for a class centered on magic. Astrologers are mostly long-range offensive attackers with close-range magic attacks to use in a pinch. Players who want to utilize melee attack options and brute force should go with a class like Hero in Elden Ring instead of Astrologer.

After players begin creating a character, they will need to choose a keepsake for their Astrologer. The best keepsake to select for any class in Elden Ring is the Golden Seed. Players can bring Golden Seeds to Sites of Grace in exchange for extra flasks. No matter which class players choose in Elden Ring, they can always use extra flasks. Once players have created their Astrologer, they must decide which stats to level up and which items to equip.
The Best Astrologer Class Build In Elden Ring
Players should allocate runes into Intelligence, Mind, Endurance, and Vigor stats. Intelligence and Mind are the main stats when it comes to Astrologers, with Endurance and Vigor serving as secondary stats. Allocating stat points in this fashion assures players will have deadly magic dominance in Elden Ring with a reasonable pool of health and stamina. Players who are good at evading attacks will not need to focus too much on increasing HP with stat points in Vigor. Endurance is the most important secondary stat for more agile players.
Players must decide which items to equip depending on their playstyle. Players creating an Astrologer build will naturally want to equip staves to cast spells, although a player’s choice in armor is completely dependent on their preferences. In addition, players should equip talismans that accentuate spellcasting times and raising FP to boost magic abilities. Spells that can be quickly cast, like Glinstone Pebble, are well suited to a pure mage Astrologer build. Players can wield spells ranging from the close-range melee attack Carian Slicer or a powerful ranged spell like Comet. What matters is that players are comfortable executing Elden Ring’s many frustrating bosses like Godrick the Grafted in Elden Ring with their spells.
Elden Ring is available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series S/X, and PC.
