The Crystal Sword is a Straight Sword in Elden Ring. It shows up mid-run, in Liurnia of the Lakes.

The Crystal Sword is fashioned from pure crystal, a feat impossible for a human, and carries the magic of the Crystalians who guard their crystals to the end. It lies on a body past the well and across the wooden bridge at the Village of the Albinaurics in Liurnia of the Lakes. It keeps the standard straight sword moveset, with a thrust as its one-handed heavy attack, and adds magic damage to every swing. Despite its description it leans toward Strength, with Intelligence second and little from Dexterity, and Spinning Slash spins to hit all around before a follow-up. It suits a Strength character with some Intelligence, or a sorcerer who wants a melee sword.

Skill

Spinning Slash costs 6 / 12 FP. The wielder spins the whole body to slash foes in a wide circle, and an additional input adds two more spins. Small weapons spin quickly, while greatswords, spears, halberds and other large weapons use a slower, sweeping version. The skill cannot be parried.

"Skill favored by dexterous warriors. Slash foes as your body spins. Additional input allows for a follow-up attack."

Suggested Build

Played as a Strength and Intelligence sword, often as an off-hand partner when dual-wielding straight swords, with Spinning Slash to catch nearby foes.

Stats	Strength to 80 for the most attack power, or Strength 45 with Intelligence 45 for a hybrid, Vigor 50, Endurance 24 to 40, Mind 10 to 20
Affinity	Cannot be infused; it keeps its own scaling.
Talismans	Starscourge Heirloom, Stargazer Heirloom, Magic Scorpion Charm

Notes

"Sword fashioned from pure crystal; a deed impossible for a human. Enwreathed with powerful magic, its attack scales with intelligence. The inscrutable Crystalians have but one clear purpose, to safeguard their crystals unto the end. One theory posits that they yearn for the return of their creator who will carve for them new brethren."
