Starting Class and Torrent for a strong faith build in Elden Ring
If one has decided to focus on a Faith build, they have to first choose the perfect class, a class that has faith as its specialty. In this case, players are suggested to go for the Prophet class; this class would come with 16 faith from the start, and also pick the golden seed as the keepsake.

Now, upon entering the game world, players have to visit three sites of Grace and make sure their final one is the gate front site of Grace in order to get Torrent. For those unaware, Torrent is the player’s horse in this game.
Uchigatana and the Flame of Frenzy Incantation is a must for a strong faith build in Elden Ring
Find Deathtouched catacombs and enter them; once inside, just keep sprinting and do not pay any of those skeletons any mind. Players would find numerous different kinds of things here, but the moment one finds an Uchigatana sitting on a small ledge, it is recommended that they grab it and run back to the entrance.

The next step is to get the flame of frenzy incantation, which can be found inside a church of Marika near Castle Morne Ramparts’ site of grace. After grabbing the incantation, head to the third church of Marika. There, players will find a flask of wondrous physick and a sacred tear.
Then head back to the Church of Elle, where a cutscene will play out. This cutscene will introduce players to one of the best characters in the game and will also give them a spirit-calling bell. This bell allows players to summon spirits to help them in hard battles.
Heading to Fort Faroth
Now players can head to Fort Faroth, and the moment they get there, they will see something weird. That would be a huge white dragon. This dragon is called the ancient dragon, and when a player kills it, they basically earn a ton of runes. Those runes can help them level up faster.

Players even get 5 dragon hearts for killing this dragon, which can be used to purchase dragon incantations from those dragon cathedrals. Spend those runes on mind, arcane, and vigor.

Buying Incantations is necessary for a strong faith build in Elden Ring
Then head to the nearest Dragon Cathedral of Dragon Communion and deal with those hard enemies in that area. Once that is done, just approach the shrine and purchase some low-level dragon incantations.

The most important of them is rotten breath, an incantation that gives enemies rot; it’s basically poison but somewhat faster. This incantation can help players make quick work of those strong enemies that seem difficult otherwise. Also, get Dragon Ice; this does frostbite damage to the enemies.
Defeat Margit the Fell Omen
Go back to Margit and summon some distractions; those would keep this fast enemy busy and keep his plunges at bay. Once he is all occupied, use scarlet rot on him, once he is inflicted, players should start slashing at him with the best weapon in their inventory. Then use the flame of frenzy on an already infected enemy. The combination of these things would make quick work of this boss.
