Still, the question remains: What is considered the best Dragon Communion Incantations in Elden Ring? If you're wondering the same, don't worry because we have you covered. Keep reading this guide as we detail the top 5 best Dragon Communion Incantations to own in the game.

Top 5 Best Dragon Communion Incantations In Elden Ring

As you're restricted to equipping just two Dragon Incantations in Elden Ring, finding the ones that work with your playstyle, character build, and stats will naturally take a lot of work. In particular, they require Faith and Arcane stats for casting and can work with most Faith, Holy, and Sorcery builds, along with niched ones with Fire, Scarlot Rot, and Bleed status effects.

Purchasing these Incantations requires Dragon Hearts, not Runes, which can be acquired by defeating Dragons across The Lands Between. Additionally, to cast Dragon Incantations in Elden Ring, you will need a Sacred Seal, which for this type of Incantations, the Dragon Communion Seal would be the best seal of choice. That said, here are the best Dragon Communion Incantations and how to get them in Elden Ring.

Greyoll's Roar

Greyoll's Roar is considered one of the first early to mid-game Dragon Incantations you'll be able to get; however, obtaining it will mean venturing off to Caelid in pursuit of the mighty dragon, Greyoll. You will rely on Torrent for most of this encounter to avoid the five weakened dragons summoned, and by focusing your attacks on Greyoll, you can acquire the Dragon Hearts needed to get the Incantation.

This Dragon Incantion unleashes a powerful AoE attack that deals Physical damage, which decreases all enemy attacks by 15% while increasing their damage taken by 10% for 60 seconds. This Incantion works well with Faith builds but builds that specialize in stacking buffs to subdue enemies and take them out.

Theodorix's Magma

Catered to dealing prolonged Fire damage, the Theodorix's Magma Incantation spews magma at enemies for AoE damage due to its pooling effect. These magma pools can stack on top of each other, which works well if you're trying to slow enemies down and prevent melee damage.

This Incantation in Elden Ring can be incorporated into Strength, Faith, or Fire builds as it can effectively deal with hordes of enemies using its Fire and magma damaging attacks. This can be obtained after defeating the Great Wyrm Theodorix dragon at the Cathedral of Dragon Communion in Caelid.

Smarag's Glintstone Breath

If you're looking for an Incantation for a Magic/Sorcery or hybrid Faith builds, Smarag's Glinstone Breath may be the one to look out for. Inflicting Magic damage, this Incantation lifts enemies off the ground before unleashing a powerful magic-imbued breath that can drain their HP.

This Incantation can work wonders against flying creatures and non-magic and grouped enemies and deals more damage than the Glintstone Breath Incantation. However, you must defeat the Glintstone Dragon Smarag before purchasing it for two Dragon Hearts.

Rotten Breath

Another Incantation for Blood builds, the Rotten Breath Incantation, has been one of the most popular Incantatios in Elden Ring. Using this spews a cloud of the hazardous Scarlet Rot, which inflicts the Scarlot Rot status effect but also deals Physical damage, which can help deal with grouped enemies.

What makes Rotten Breath so effective is that it costs less FP than most Incantations and only needs 15 Faith and 12 Arcane to cast. Similarly, you won't need to defeat a dragon to unlock it, but it does cost just one Dragon Heart to purchase it.

Ekzyke's Decay

Like Rotten Breath, Ekzyke's Decay also deals Physical damage and inflicts the Scarlot Rot status effect but with a few differences. It deals more Physical damage than Rotten Breath at the cost of costing more FP but has more range and requires higher Faith and Arcane stats.

Additionally, this can be cast while jumping but not on horseback, while Rottent Breath is the opposite and can be cast on horseback but not when jumping. You'll need to defeat the Decaying Ekzykes for this Incantation to be unlocked, and two Dragon Hearts are required to purchase it.
