Founding Rain of Stars | Elden Ring Wiki

Damage is too low for how slow and immobile it is. Spamming Carian Slicer or Comet deals more damage. Also, don’t really see the point of making this kind of spell chargeable.

Basically is Arrow Barrage from Aldrich Devourer of Gods, but weak.

Submit

I hope this gets a buff, its really hard to get and it almost never hits enemies, maybe im just really bad with it

Submit

Pretty insane in PvE when combo'd with the deathbird spear WA. It doubles down and lets you bomb your enemies back to the stone age.

Submit

But why was it nerfed so much, in the trailer Founding Rain of Stars had a much, much wider AOE?
Opinion from a med student: This Game is Amazing XO

Tip 2, use rainbow stone arrows to mark your way as the stones have no distance, practically land on your feet. Hardly usefull if you are looking for solid ground ahead of you, lol.

Submit

Beautiful spell, but hard to land against more mobile enemies. It's extremely satisfying when you land it, though.

Submit

I use this spell for a knarly build in pvp, cast it and stand under the clouds as they don't do damage to you. Cast eternal darkness to eat other spells, and cast stars of ruin to hunt them down, followed by moonveil if they get to close, rinse and repeat the founding rain spell every so often before it runs out and you should be able to keep people away while you cast.

Submit

You'd be surprised at how many people just straight up avoid getting near you when this is cast. For PvP it basically gives you space to get off a charged spell or chug jug.

For PvE it's actually a devastating spell. Enemies tend to just stand in the AoE once it's cast so unless you're up against like Juno Hoslow who spams Bloodhound step, you can just stack damage.

Cannot be boosted by SHARD OF ALEXANDER

Seeing as it's an invisible bridge that crosses a canyon I hoped the directions would have been a little less vague than that.

Submit

Actually does a lot of poise damage to bosses if they get stuck in it for 3+ seconds.

Submit

This spell is amazing against Morgott and Mohg, cast this right before using a shackle and just shred them to pieces.

Submit

Kind of wished this spell traveled forwards, like actual rain clouds. It would've had a cool niche of area denial if it did as well as crowd control.

Submit

I cast this spell and then dodge around in the aoe for faster targets. It’s really only useful to me on big enemies but so far this has given me the best damage besides the moon spells and rykards rancor with sorceries

Submit

You wanna mention the immediate enemies that attack after crossing? Thanks..

Submit

For some fights this is amazing, for example Placidusax' 1st form or Elden Beast. I beat Elden Beast by running in, casting Rain of Stars and when it swim far away i shot it with lorettas mastery

Submit

the first sorcery... pretty wild to think about. Imagine what went through that dude's mind, lmao

Submit

This was a larger AoE in the trailers smh

Submit

It has a slight homing effect on targets albeit from a very high places. Pushes whole AoE forward towards the latter end of it.

Submit

HYDRO STORM!

Submit

This plus Crystal Release plus Zamor Storm must be a killer dot stack

Submit

does this work with the rotten winged sword insignia, or anything like it?

Submit

amazing to give u some space and ground controll during invasions

Submit

Purple rain

Submit

katana/bleed users not understanding how to make good builds complain that this is bad

Submit

Wait, is the lore implication here that the advent of Glintstone is what called the Outer Gods and Greater Will to the Lands Between in the first place?

Submit

Is this extended with Old Lord's Talisman?

Submit

This is really nice for zoning gank squads in pvp, especially when fighting in hallways. Bonus points if you get them separated

Submit

I wish it had a hat that buffed it. Maybe DLC? I hope so, such a cool spell; that extra damage would make it even cooler to use. Plus, I bet the hat would look awesome too.

Submit

Can build up over 2k damage for relatively low FP cost, but the cast range is very limited. The area of effect is nice tho.
Good spell for various situations. Can be used offensively, but not in every situation. Duration is ok, but way too short for any target that's moving frequently or fast.

Submit

if lusat has SoR and Azur got AC, who has this spell? doubt it's sellen.

Submit

Decent stun and with a good build it's something not to complain about from its usefulness. Complaints apply to people with very low knowledge of the game or how to build a tactical loadout to bring the best out of each spell.

Submit

Is this a Lusat spell?

Submit

This spell in the current 1.03 can proc the broken Carian Retaliation skill for shields. Also works with Magic Downpour.

Submit

Everyone complaining needs to realize this is a defensive not an offensive spell. If you want to run a proper mage with both enough FP and spell damage then this thing is a must-have since it protects you from any and all melee attacks. Also great in Co-op and PvP since your biggest weakness is getting rushed down which would make you unable to cast anything without trading which as a squishy mage is a terrible idea.

Submit

This spell is pretty good for mage builds who either A: Want to support other players while fighting big bosses without using something like comet Azur or B: Don't have enough room to cast or drink their flasks while in PvP. If you don't like using this than there are plenty of other spells, this one is just for support purposes. Mages don't always need to support their summoner/summons purely through damage.

Submit

2 words. Poise damage

Submit

Works well against huge enemies (like fire giant) - lay it down and double up with melee for some big ole damage

Submit

Not sure why people are dissing this spell, it's not meant to be something like Stars of Ruin, it's meant to be area denial. You use this to create an area that adds risk for someone trying to attack you inside while you do something like heal or prepare another attack.

It can also be used when predicting a PvE enemy's approach and they'll get shredded, especially bigger bosses.

It looks cool therefore and thats enough of a reason to use it.

Submit

After the patch this is really good for area denial in PvP, it ensures safe blue flasking against opponents without ranged damage.

Submit

With the new update, this thing can really shred a boss provided you can secure him in one area

Submit

Some of these legendary spells and how some spells function in general are really bad and really uninspired.

This spell IMO is next to useless. The range is short and the cast time is long. No staggering and no point of casting when the target of interest is already in your face.

I hate the fact it's just a click and cast spell. It could have been so much more.

Additionally I'd like to mention that in the ER gameplay reveal, this spell covered a MASSIVE area.
Its since been reduced.

Submit

I actually found this spell to be quite powerful in PVP as it will either deny the area entirely to an opponent or they'll take a few 100 damage trying to attack you in it. PVE it's very strong vs huge enemies as the majority of the "rain" will land on them. Otherwise it's *almost* a top tier spell but since it takes up 2 slots it just isn't worth it unless you're planning on PVP and even then you may be better off using 2 different spells for more versatility.

Submit

really saddens me that so many of these cool looking spells have absolutely no utility whatsoever because they take so fking long to cast or don't have tracking

Submit

just use Stars of Ruin instead. At least those have homing capabilities

Submit

If it's anything like Soul Shower from the other Souls game... I highly doubt a "Founding Star Rain" will be anything more than a pretty speckling of Glintstones which an Invader with a 10 foot catch pole in an open field or a dagger wielder in a tight dungeon will ever blink an eye to

Submit

The cloud spawns at where you at instead of above you're targeting which makes it virtually useless because you simply don't have the time for this spell if the enemy is already right in front of you.

garbage spell and a paint to get, save yourself the time

Ive found it pretty useful to cast as a bit of suppressing fire so to speak, cast it as an enemy approaches you and then cast your other spells. Works wonders

Submit

The legendary version of the “shoot a bunch unguided projectiles” spells. It’s probably exactly as good as you think it is

Submit

Really want to justify slotting this, but having a hard time. It seems to require a large, immobile enemy that doesn't heavily punish you for casting in melee range, since it deals no stagger. Every situation like this seems more easily handled with other spells that take less slots and are useful in more situations. If it had some sort of range so that the cloud would appear above your target instead of melee range, I'd think it'd be much more usable. But since even in a crowded room with an invader, the stars just hit the ceiling, it just seems like something to take if you have extra slots, which isn't going to be most people who have the int requirement. Maybe I'm missing something?

Submit

Recasting the spell cancels existing 'cloud' of stars.

Submit

This spell is the prettiest trash spell in the game. If you use it on human size enemy it deals laughable damage, and zero stagger. Even if you use it on Massive and immobile enemies. It is not worth the FP to cast it, since Night Maiden's Mist deal same kind of damage on any size enemy that within the mist, ignore magic resistance, cost only 1 memory slot, faster cast animation and only cost 20 FP.

Submit

Pretty mid in normal gameplay, but somewhat op when targeting larger/immobile enemies.

Submit

The FP cost is actually 420 not 69. In all seriousness though it’s 46

Submit

This magic is amazing.

I have 75 Intelligence and my staff is Lusat's Glintstone Staff +6.

It did 2000 damage to the big flower enemy next to where SORCERESS SELLEN was in the first area.
Yes, that means you can do more damage.
However, if you are in a low ceiling area, the magic will hit the ceiling.


One more thing, in the SORCERESS SELLEN event, I found a spell that is a higher version of STAR SHOWER.
I'm not very good at English. And I can't edit the wiki.
I couldn't find this magic in this wiki, so let me report it here.

Its name is in Japanese "滅びの流星".
When I translated this name with translation software.
It was "Meteor of Doom." ←This translation is probably wrong.
This spell is very strong, If you want to play this game in EASY mode, use it in conjunction with MIMIC TEAR ASHES by Spirit Ashes.
And it's probably hard to avoid this magic in PVP.

Long live the Elden Ring.

Hey Alrich sends his regards...

FP cost: 69

This is the prettiest sorcery ever
