The Cipher Pata is a Fist in Elden Ring.
When to Use It
Early game. It is found around Roundtable Hold, in the opening stretch of a run, so it is one of the first real upgrades you can carry.
Why Players Pick It
Aside from Sacred Seals it is the only weapon in the game that weighs 0. Pure Holy, A Faith and 208 holy at +10. It a very viable alternative for Faith users to preserve FP, and notes it benefits greatly from the Sacred Scorpion Charm. Somber, not infusible, not buffable.
Upgrades
It takes Somber Smithing Stones rather than the common kind, one per level up to +10, and it keeps its own skill for good: no Ash of War will replace it and no affinity will re-cut its scaling.
Skill
Unblockable Blade costs 17 FP. Imbue the cipher blade with light, then lunge forward with a sudden piercing attack. This attack cannot be blocked. It belongs to this weapon alone: no Ash of War will move it onto anything else, and nothing will replace it here.
Build
Its scaling runs Fai at C, so Fai is the stat worth levelling, and you need Fai 30 before you can lift it. Because the skill is its own, the build has to come to the weapon rather than the other way round.
Notes
One of the weapons originating from the Two Fingers. A formless sequence of ciphers comprise its blade, and as such no shield can repel it. Deals holy damage. The furtive inscription appears to hang in the air; the language of light spoken by the Two Fingers.
