Does Electrify Armament Scale With Faith in Elden Ring?

Electrify Armament scales with the Faith-derived portion of your Sacred Seal’s Incantation Scaling—not the seal’s total hybrid scaling. Its buff lasts 90 seconds.

Yes. In Elden Ring, Electrify Armament’s added Lightning Attack Power is 75% of the Faith-derived portion of the Sacred Seal’s Incantation Scaling. Raising Faith can therefore strengthen the buff by increasing that portion of your casting seal’s scaling; scaling contributed by a hybrid seal’s other attributes does not count toward this weapon buff.

How Faith affects Electrify Armament

Electrify Armament uses the Sacred Seal you cast it with. Its added lightning damage is calculated from the seal’s Faith-based Incantation Scaling, not from the weapon’s own Faith scaling. The game’s Faith description says it “Also boosts magic power of faith scaling incantations.” Eldenpedia: Faith

The listed formula is 75% of the Faith-derived scaling, and the buff lasts 90 seconds. Eldenpedia: Electrify Armament

Which seal should you use?

Compare seals by their Faith-derived Incantation Scaling for this purpose, rather than choosing whichever has the highest total scaling number. A hybrid seal can display scaling from Strength, Intelligence, or Arcane as well as Faith, but those non-Faith contributions do not increase Electrify Armament’s weapon buff.

  • Collaborating with George R.R. Martin to create the ELDEN RING mythos has been a genuinely delightful experience and a source of wonderful inspiration. The team is working hard to ensure that the world of ELDEN RING will be a fascinating place for players to explore, filled with peril and wonder from its furthest reaches to its lowest depths. This is a FromSoftware title through and through, rich in fantasy and RPG action. We sincerely hope you look forward to it.
  • Building the world of ELDEN RING with Miyazaki-san and his team was a treat! The graphics, mythos, and action-RPG gameplay will deliver an unforgettable experience. I can’t wait for people to see what ELDEN RING has in store for them.” Said George R.R. Martin.

There is no single best seal established for every character level and stat spread. The relevant comparison depends on your build’s actual Faith and the Faith-based scaling of the seals available to you.

Requirements, effect, and acquisition

  • Requirement: 15 Faith.
  • Cost: 21 FP and one memory slot.
  • Duration: 90 seconds.
  • Target: A right-hand armament. Hold the Sacred Seal in your left hand when casting.
  • In-game description: “Enchants armament held in the right hand with lightning-affinity attacks.”

To obtain the incantation, give the Dragon Cult Prayerbook to Brother Corhyn or Miriel, Pastor of Vows, then purchase Electrify Armament for 4,000 runes. Tarnished.app: Electrify Armament

Electrify Armament versus grease

Lightning Grease and Dragonbolt Grease are alternatives, not automatically weaker substitutes. The buff reference describes scaling breakpoints at which grease can add more attack power than Electrify Armament when Incantation Scaling is lower. Electrify Armament lasts longer than the relevant grease buffs, while grease is quicker to apply. Eldenpedia: Buffs

For your build, compare the options across these factors:

  • Added lightning attack power at your seal’s actual Faith-derived scaling.
  • How often you will need to reapply the buff during the fight.
  • Time to cast the incantation versus apply grease in combat.
  • Whether your chosen weapon can receive a spell buff.

The better choice depends on those trade-offs and the weapon’s buff compatibility; Electrify Armament is not invariably the strongest option.
