Great Oracular Bubble | Elden Ring Wiki

You can easily cast this with a pure intelligence build using the Silver Tear Mask. The physical damage reduction from the mask won't affect your sorcery unless you are casting Rock Sling or Meteorite / of Astel. Magic infused weapons barely feel the reduction, but you might want to make sure the somber intelligence weapon you are using has mostly magic damage. Or just take the hit to your melee damage because this spell is fantastic.

This is actually my preferred sorcery for stronger ranged attacks in PvE. It’s tracking and range are surprisingly decent, it’s great for opening since you get get at least 3 charged bubbles out before the first one hurts the enemy if you have correct spacing, it does good stance damage, and it does pretty solid damage for its fp cost. The downsides are that it’s slow to cast, doesn’t move very fast, and requires 18 arcane. I wouldn’t recommend going to 18 arcane just for this spell, but if you meet the requirements I highly recommend at least giving it a shot. It might surprise you.

I like this because it's the only thing in the game you can cast risk free from a distance and completely forget about then BOOM your opponent gets smacked while you are meleeing.

Going to use this alongside dual Clayman Spears on a legit Clayman build. Mix in a little Underpowered with my Overpowered. Got myself a funky little concoction.

Ridiculously powerful in PVE. Hear me out - Use it as a opening spell rather than mid combat. You can usually send off 2 fully charged bubbles from range as they slowly float toward your target, then switch to something like Loretta's greatbow or another fast projectile sorcery (collapsing stars is great as well!). If you do it right, the enemy will get hit by 2 fully charged bubbles and another spell at the same time for massive damage. Trust me, give it a try!

"Affected" not "effected" by the Envoy Crown.

Ah, yes. The SpongeBob spell.

Okay everyone, hear me out. Did a bubble sorcery build for a week in arena, and found some things out. Most interestingly and what you can’t really do with any other spell in the game, is you can kinda boomerang this spell. Hard to explain over text, but if you for example, face away from your opponent, start charging the bubble, then at the very last second as the spell is being cast, lock onto the enemy. The bubble will start homing in on the enemy at an extreme curve. Usually this spell is slow and goes straight, but this way you can cast it, they’ll think it missed, only for it to loop back around behind them and blow up. Super super fun but extremely hard to get good at

Imma bout to do a questionable qualified pvp build, but I'll do it anyways just for the gimmick

Reminds me of Utakata

Submit

If this gave the wet effect that would be huge

Submit

Pair this with roiling magma and either gelmir fury or the gelmir weapon that has a similar ash to gelmir fury, and enough dex and you can pretty much overpressure your opponents to the point they decide suicide is not that painfull

Submit

OK guys, hear me out
70 arcane, 27 intelligence (optionally +5 with the stargazer heirloom)
Just enough str and dex to wield the ripple crescent weapons
This spelll
Just good overall in PvP. People think the only use for the ripple weapons is to be a status effect stick but with this build, they're viable even with their mediocre damage. Great bubbles can be set to track opponents if aimed, putting pressure on your enemy, or be freeaimed to the ground when players try to rush in interrupting the casting. Spell combos are endless. Albinauric staff scales from Arcane, and your 27 int will allow you to use the Haima spells too for some extra bulky sorceries if needed.
Obviously there are way better arcane and mage builds out there but believe me when I say, the spell combos with this one are extremely fun and satisfying to land.

Submit

The fact that is slow is a good thing for PvE because enemies dodge on cast, which means they will ignore the spell and get hit. Good damage, good tracking, quite nice posture damage and chargeable so it benefits from godfrey icon. Only downside is the arcane requirement.

Submit

Wish there were other options than just putting the target to sleep, doing a knockdown, or casting at point-blank range.

Submit

This spell is shockingly good

Submit

This one tapped someone with veteran set veteran set, pretty solid PVP spell for me

Submit

It's being compared a lot to Cannon, but I'd barely characterize it more as an explosive Magic Glintblade, as it's similar costed, spammable (as in used repeatedly rather than chain casted), fairly far reaching, and it produces a hazard for opponents that they need to keep an eye on. It's slower but has an AoE and more damage. In summation, I like bubble.

Submit

But how many runebears big is the explosion?

Submit

Not much good for PVP but not completely useless either, you can cast it and keep pressuring your opponent until the bubble land a hit at some point or use it as a bomb trap for protecting yourself or buying some time.

Submit

Unexpected really good Pve spell.

Submit

Goofy ahh nuke spell

Submit

Used this for Malenia's 1st phase, works pretty nicely and you basically learn the in's and out's of dodging her Waterfowl Dance

Submit

One of the stronger PVE spells, especially in open areas where you can cast multiple before aggro'ing an enemy. The Charged version does roughly the same damage as Cannon of Haima but uses half the FP. Has very high stagger damage too, so you can often instantly poise break by detonating 2-3 charged bubbles on a larger enemy. Quite similar to how Elden Stars is used, but less range and tracking is a bit worse

Submit

I'm so glad the bubble spells are actually viable now. The tracking is alright, solid damage for it's FP, it's pretty much a slow Cannon of Haima

Submit

It's an alright spell, you can send the bubble out and use another spell to hit the enemy you were targeting at the same time to "burst" them down, and hell if the enemy is far away enough you can send multiple of them out and just delete health bars when they all hit, It's pretty situational but not useless, I would say it's similar to the Flame of the Fell God in that they are both in a somewhat awkward position of being cool looking but ultimately niche.

Submit

why does a spell like this require arcane???
does it even scale with arcane???

Submit

Why doesn't this do holy damage like the bubble ash skills? It's basically the same vibe and we're already full up on magic damage options.

Submit

Can confirm this works with Godfrey Icon. Tested on NG+7 at Gatefront, did 1455 to a Godrick Soldier with icon on, then 1255 to the same soldier with icon off. Can supply video evidence if needed.

Submit

still needs to do more damage or move faster. Currently, it does as much damage as carian piercer for basically the same fp cost (16 vs 17), but piercer is infinitely more useable and situationally useful than this, and can be buffed by dual wielding staves

Submit

Scarab for this is not spawning, tried grace and quitting out. Seems bugged

Submit

How to effectively use this in pvp:

Bait or wait for the opponent to rush you from a distance, disengage auto lock and release straight at the ground in front of you.

Also the best way to use Giantsflame Take Thee, and Magma Shot.

Submit

Charged Great Oracular Bubble into Charged Night Comet w/ Godfrey Icon & Arrow's Reach Talisman. Lovely combo.

Submit

If you look closely you’ll see that this “bubble” is actually a single thread spinning incredibly fast.

Submit

Uncharged moves faster and further than uncharged for some forsaken reason.

Submit

Was trying to think of build ideas I used this for entrapment on my strength mage it worked well for getting my meteorite weapons into them but I can't take a counter hit thanks to my split stats
If I want the albernauric staff it seems to scale the spell better but my stats :/

Submit

MOAB Incoming!

Submit

can do a lot of damage but the cast time is absurdly slow, even with radagon icon. expect to take a huge hit to the face if you try to use this during a boss fight

Submit

I cant believe it but i killed 4 people in my first hour of pvp with this. Damage is good, explosion is quite big and they dont disappear if you cast 2nd and 3rd one, but its very easy to dodge and it doesnt track well. But who cares, its a bubble!

Submit

Does this spell scale with arc or should I only use the minimum points?

Submit

Goes faster the more dex you have. Godfrey bubble does outrageous damage. Does about as much damage as a moon spell for less fp. Bubble is love. Bubble is life.

Submit

This spell is underrated in PVE, it has almost as range as lorreta's greatbow and does more damage while costing less fp. I use this as most long range spell for indoor areas and some outdoor areas.

Submit

Glintstone Pebble = 343 damage = 49.00 damage per FP
Great Oracular bubble = 796 damage = 49.75 damage per FP (charged)

Tested on trolls south of Knight Bernahl's Warmaster's Shack

Submit

This sorcery will cause Silver Tear enemies in Nokstella to pause seemingly permanently upon hitting. Especially useful against the shielded ones, but may only work once per mob. Does not work on the large balls or the lightning-charged ones.

Submit

PLEASE From make this and the other bubble sorcery viable in pve and pvp they look so cool. Guess I’ll stick to my holy bubble blowers for now :’(

Submit

Gonna cosplay Syfa.

If you want to play around with this, would recommend wearing the Silver Tear Mask as it gives you +8 Arcane, meaning you only need 10 Arcane.

Submit

Almost the same range as Loretta's Greatbow, very good damage for FP, etc. Probably worth the points in ARC.

It should have more range than Loretta's, in my opinion. Its windup and travel time are pretty brutal compensators. Give it a niche in the form of great range.

Submit

Ironically a good spell; that just got a lot better after patch 1.04. Now if only we had a water element.

Submit

Another great thing about this spell is that it is perfectly safe using it on edges as it will NOT make you fall off of one. Unlike other spells like Loretta's Greatbow where you moving is actually moving the position of your character and therefore being able to fall, Great Oracle Bubble's casting animation naturally moves you forward, which prevents you from falling off an edge. This is really useful against a mob that is under you and you have to try and get close to the edge in order for your projectiles to not hit the ground, something which Greatbow is infamous of.

god damn fightinggame fireball, this one

Submit

I tried making this my main spell. While the range, tracking, and damage is good, its travel speed and more importantly dreadfully slow casting speed make it unplayable against bosses. You need something to hold aggro so you can shoot. So its situational useful I suppose. But it couldnt give me the arcane-based mage I hoped for.

Submit

This thing might have a longer cast time and move slow but it is a literal homing nuke. In invasions if you can apply pressure with other spells or the PVE of the level then you can one shot lower vigor hosts and summons.

Submit

Does this actually count as an invisibility spell that gets buffed by Staff of Loss? I guess it makes sense. It fits into the assassin mage playstyle.

Submit

Does this get buffed by the Envoy Crown? Im tempted to run a bubble build

Great for the Wooper build. it's a shame aqua-tail (aspects of the crucible: tail) is an incantation

With the base arcane and high int, this bubble hits like a truck. It’s balanced by having a long cast time but great for pulling ads or getting the drop on people. Pretty long range but slow.

Ridiculously good Damage / FP ratio

Bubble.

How does the range compare to Loretta's Greatbow?

This BUBBLE so big and mysterious. The only one arcane magic. Why is it even here.... The faith arcane spel made up of blood fire ice rotten holy and dark power. The Mages have 2 bubbles....

Submit

i cant get the AOE to work but this spell is an absolute FP to Damage POWERHOUSE. If you can get guaranteed hits safely its the fastest way to farm high HP enemies and cheese bosses.

Submit

I started using this recently. It's okay. Definitely hindered by it's long cast time so not very useful during rapid encounters. However, if you can find the space and timing to cast a fully charged orb the damage is devastating to smaller mobs and may knock down larger mobs. This is definitely a "bomb" in the sense that you won't be rapidly firing these off.

Submit

The spell wasn't usable when I invaded. I would like to know why?

Submit

Definitely worth the 8 points in Arcane IMHO. It is slightly more FP efficient than Glintstone Pebble in any scenario where you would need 3 or more casts of the latter, it has crazy long range, and a huge AoE. It's not meant to be used in the heat of combat of course, but if you have time to set up an ambush this spell can severely weaken or outright kill a lot of otherwise tricky enemies long before they manage to reach you.

Submit

Has anyone looked at the damage the bubble spells do and how they scale? Like - are they weak because maybe they need deeper arcane stats to do better?

Submit

Crazy dmg for its FP cost and decent explosion radius but its casting speed and the projectile speed are ridiculously slow. If you already have 18 arcane, it will be quite useful in some situations, but if you're raising arcane just so that you could use this spell, it's a pretty bad idea.

Submit

I spent nearly a full hour looking for this spell. Found it just to realize it's super duper bad. If you're reading this to look for help finding it, there's a few guides on youtube, but really I just wouldn't bother.

Submit

My favourite spell to snipe. Sadly, it's very situational. You need to "feel" how far will it go and how big the explosion is. If placed correctly, it can wipe out a whole group of mobs. It's best to use as a sniping spell. I'm kinda biased to be honest so take what I say with a grain of salt.

In the river (not the city level), go to the fallen over pillar you walk along (ghost archer is on it) and take the waygate. This puts you on the same layer of river as the dragonkin solider. This spell is to the left in a little insert filled with zombies.
