How to Use StatusTTP Calculator
Complete guide to optimize your Elden Ring status effect builds
Quick Start Guide
3 Simple Steps
- Configure your build - Set Character Level, Arcane, Weapon, and Enemy in the left panel
- View optimal sequence - Check the attack sequence and timing in the center panel
- Analyze results - Review optimization data and weapon comparisons on the right
The calculator instantly shows you the optimal attack sequence to trigger status effects like bleed, frost, poison, rot, madness, and sleep against any enemy in Elden Ring.
Character & Build Settings (Left Panel)
Character Stats
Character Level
Your character's total level (typically 80-150 for endgame builds). Higher levels provide better stat distribution but don't directly affect status buildup calculations.
Arcane
Most important stat for status builds. Higher Arcane = faster status proc. Soft caps at 50, major diminishing returns after 80.
Equipment Selection
Weapon
Choose your primary weapon. The calculator automatically filters compatible status effects based on your weapon's buildup values.
Popular choices: Rivers of Blood (bleed), Cold Uchigatana (frost), Antspur Rapier (rot), Mohgwyn's Sacred Spear (bleed)
Status Effect
Select the status effect you want to optimize. Only effects compatible with your selected weapon will be available.
Combat Settings
Enemy Template
Select your target enemy. Different bosses have varying resistance to status effects, dramatically affecting proc timing.
Scadutree Level (0-20)
Shadow of the Erdtree DLC blessing level. Higher levels increase your damage output and status buildup against DLC enemies.
Arcane Scaling Mode
- Strict: Only applies Arcane scaling to weapons with actual Arcane scaling (realistic)
- Experimental: Applies Arcane scaling to all status weapons (theoretical maximum)
Attack Context
- Normal Attacks: Standard proactive attack sequences
- After Guard Counter: Optimal sequence following a guard counter
- After Jump Attack: Optimal sequence following a jump attack
Attack Sequence Analysis (Center Panel)
Attack Sequence Display
The center panel shows the optimal attack sequence to trigger your selected status effect as quickly as possible.
Key Metrics
Hits Required
Total number of individual hits needed to trigger the status effect.
FP Cost
Total Focus Points consumed for the entire sequence.
Risk Factor
Percentage chance of variance in the sequence. Lower is more consistent.
95% Confidence Interval
Statistical range where 95% of attempts will fall within these time bounds.
Attack Sequence Testing
Click "Run Diversity Test" to test the algorithm across different build configurations and verify attack sequence variety.
What it tests: High Arcane Rivers of Blood, Low Arcane Bloodhound's Fang, Medium builds vs high resistance enemies, and low efficiency scenarios.
Weapon Comparison
Compare your current weapon against alternatives for the same status effect. Click any weapon to instantly switch and recalculate.
Pro Tip: Use this to find the fastest status proc weapon for your current build configuration.
Optimization Results (Right Panel)
Time-to-Proc Result
The large number at the top shows the estimated time (in seconds) to trigger your status effect using the optimal attack sequence.
Calculation Breakdown
Understand exactly how your status buildup is calculated:
Arcane ±5 Impact
See how changing your Arcane stat by ±5 points affects proc timing. Click any value to instantly test that Arcane level.
Optimization tip: Find the Arcane breakpoint where diminishing returns make further investment inefficient.
Advanced Optimization Tips
Build Optimization Strategy
For Speed Builds
- Prioritize high base buildup weapons
- Invest in Arcane up to 80 (soft cap)
- Use multi-hit weapons for consistency
- Consider weapon skills with high status MV
For Consistency
- Choose weapons with lower risk factors
- Avoid relying on single-hit high-buildup attacks
- Use strict Arcane scaling mode for realistic results
- Test against high-resistance enemies
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Over-investing in Arcane
Beyond 80 Arcane, you get severely diminishing returns. Use the Arcane Impact analysis to find your optimal point.
Ignoring Enemy Resistance
Some bosses are highly resistant to certain status effects. Always test against your target enemy for accurate results.
Focusing Only on TTP
Consider FP cost, risk factor, and practical combat situations. A slightly slower but more reliable sequence might be better.
Status Effect Synergies
Bleed + Frost
Use weapons that can inflict both. Frost resets bleed resistance, allowing faster subsequent bleeds.
Rot + Poison
Both are damage-over-time effects that stack. Useful for hit-and-run strategies.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my TTP different in actual gameplay?
The calculator assumes perfect hit timing and accuracy. Real combat involves dodging, positioning, and enemy actions that can affect timing.
Should I use Strict or Experimental Arcane Scaling?
Use Strict for realistic build planning. Experimental is useful for theoretical maximum performance testing.
How accurate are the enemy resistance values?
Values are based on community testing and data mining. They're quite accurate but may have minor variations due to game updates.
Can I optimize for multiple status effects?
Currently, the calculator optimizes for one status effect at a time. For dual-status weapons, test each effect separately.
What's the difference between Risk Factor and Confidence Interval?
Risk Factor shows variance as a percentage. Confidence Interval shows the time range where 95% of your attempts will fall.
