Step 3: Balance Offense and Defense
It's tempting to stack your Physick with only offensive buffs, especially in Arcane builds designed to burst enemies down with Bleed.
However, pure offense can backfire when facing fast, hard-hitting enemies.

Here’s a good rule of thumb:

If you’re confident you can end the fight fast (example: stacking Bleed on slow bosses), use two offensive tears.

If the fight will be long or dangerous (example: fighting Maliketh or Elden Ring Items multiple enemies), combine offense + defense.

Best offensive tears for Arcane builds:

Thorny Cracked Tear (boost successive attacks)

Flame-Shrouding Cracked Tear (boost fire attack for dragon incantations)

Best defensive tears for Arcane builds:

Opaline Hardtear (boost all damage negation)

Leaden Hardtear (boost poise during casting)

Crimsonburst Crystal Tear (HP regen over time)

By mixing one offensive and one defensive tear, you give yourself the flexibility to push aggressively without being punished too heavily for mistakes.

Step 4: Adapt for FP-Heavy Builds
If you're running a Dragon Communion build or an incantation-heavy Arcane setup, managing your FP becomes even more critical.
You don't want to run dry mid-fight!

For heavy spellcasting Arcane builds, prioritize:

Cerulean Hidden Tear (eliminates all FP cost temporarily)
+

A damage-enhancing tear, like Flame-Shrouding Cracked Tea,r or a defensive te,ar depending on enemy type.

This combo lets you unleash devastating breath attacks or spells without worrying about mana depletion at crucial moments—perfect for boss bursts or PvP opening salvos.
 

Step 5: Change the Mix as Needed
The Wondrous Physick isn’t permanent!
You can change your Crystal Tear mix anytime at any Site of Grace.
This means you should customize your Physick based on the next boss, dungeon, or area you're tackling.

Example Changes:

Going into Mohgwyn Pal,ace where Blood enemies are resistant to elden ring items buy Bleed? Shift toward stamina recovery + defense instead of pure Bleed boosts.

Fighting a magic boss like Rennala? Add magic damage negation with Opaline Hardtear.

Arcane builds become much stronger when the Physick is treated as a flexible, tactical resource rather than a static buff.
Final Thoughts
Choosing the right Wondrous Physick mix is about synergy, foresight, and adaptability.
Your Arcane build already gives you massive damage potential through status effects and powerful incantations—the right Physick setup pushes that power even further while shielding your weaknesses.
