Affinities are a mechanic in ELDEN RING (2022) that alters a weapon's properties after applying Ashes of War.
Mechanics
All Affinities except for Standard, Heavy, Keen, and Quality (the "basic four") will prevent Weapon Buffs from being applied to a weapon (except for those applied via a skill), and will also limit the amount of compatible skills.
- More specifically:
- Magic and Cold skills and affinities are only compatible with affinities and skills of the "basic four" affinities or those of Magic or Cold affinity.
- Fire and Flame Art skills and affinities are only compatible with affinities and skills of the "basic four" affinities or those of Fire or Flame Art affinity.
- Lightning and Sacred skills and affinities are only compatible with affinities and skills of the "basic four" affinities or those of Lightning or Sacred affinity.
- Poison, Blood, and Occult skills and affinities are only compatible with affinities and skills of the "basic four" affinities or those of Poison, Blood, or Occult affinity.
