Elden Ring Update 1.10: A Comprehensive Breakdown

FromSoftware, the acclaimed developer behind Elden Ring, has unveiled the patch notes for the game’s 1.10 update.

This update, which is now live, introduces a range of improvements and changes, primarily focusing on the game’s PvP component and balance adjustments.

PvP-Exclusive Balance Adjustments

The 1.10 update brings a slew of changes exclusively for Elden Ring’s PvP component. These include an increase in the poise damage of all weapons and some spells, an extension of critical hit angles, and a decrease in the invulnerability window of the Quick Step and Hound’s Step skills.

Additionally, the damage reduction granted by certain abilities has been reduced. It’s important to note that these changes do not affect single-player or cooperative gameplay.

General Balance Adjustments

The update also introduces general balance adjustments, which include an increase in critical hit damage and a decrease in recovery time after missing a critical hit.

Furthermore, the poise damage of hits that connect after missing a critical strike has been increased.

Future Updates and DLC

FromSoftware has been actively updating Elden Ring since its release, with some updates introducing new features. For instance, the Colosseum update allowed players to engage in PvP combat inside an arena.

Looking ahead, Elden Ring is set to receive an expansion called Shadow of the Erdtree, although details about this DLC are currently scarce.

And I have to say: the rumored DLC is heavily massive, so you might wanna save up some space soon.
