Some massive changes have come in Elden Ring this morning with patch 1.07. While there have been a few adjustments across the board, perhaps the biggest one is the individual PvP scaling. These changes will only affect PvP and will not change single-player or co-op gameplay.

This update also brought a lot of changes to spells, skills, spells and weapons. The idea behind these Elden Ring changes was to increase versatility and potentially open up new build options for players.
