What am I missing with Weapon Infusion in Elden Ring?
So I just got back into Elden Ring, and am re-acquainting myself with the weapon upgrades/infusion systems.
I'm playing a Dex build, and am currently wielding the base dual-scimitars. However, when I look at the Max Upgrades table, the Standard +25 has an Attack Power of 259 (with a D/C scaling), but a Keen +25 only has 222 (with an E/A scaling).
I don't quite understand what's going on here. does the AP not account for scaling? If so, what is AP based on, and why does infusion affect it?
Question from user Ben at stackexchange.
Answer:
The AP shown here is the BASE attack power. So indeed before / without scaling.
Scaling depends on your current stats, so charts online will usually not show the end results.
Weapon infusion has always worked like in the DS series, you take a hit of base power to increase the scaling. With a dex build, the infusion should still net you an increase in your resulting AP unless you are really low level.
