Incant Scaling

Effect The degree to which incantations increase in power.

Incant Scaling is one of the Statistics in Elden Ring. It is a special Offensive Stat that is used in the calculation that determines how much damage is dealt or healed in Combat by Incantations and is affected primarily by your equipment.

 

Elden Ring Incant Scaling Guide

Incant Scaling is a special type of damage stat that can be found on Sacred Seals. The higher this statistic, the higher the damage or healing of the incantation used with the seal. Incant Scaling does not increase the duration of buffs or utility incantations, it only affects damage and healing values.

Incant Scaling and Weapons

Sacred Seals possess the Incant Scaling stat. The value of this stat usually increases in proportion to item upgrade level and Faith, although some sacred seals will also scale with other attributes.

  • Sacred Seals that increase Incant Scaling with more than one attribute have lower faith scaling than sacred seals that use only Faith, but reach similar values of Incant Scaling if both stats are increased instead of just Faith.
  • The Frenzied Flame Seal increases Incant Scaling with Strength, Dexterity, Intelligence, and Faith, but with significantly worse scaling for each individual stat than any other Seal.

 

Elden Ring Incant Scaling Notes & Tips

  • The Incant Scaling stat is used to determine damage and healing values of incantations. It will not affect other features of incantations such as duration or range, and it will not affect sorceries.
  • Only the Incant Scaling stat of the seal used to cast the spell is used in its calculations. Another seal may be held in the off-hand to provide buffs to particular types of spells, but its Incant Scaling value will not be used.

      After testing I found the incant scaling is a direct percentage increase to a spells base damage. If the spell does 200 dmg and have incant scaling of 150 the spell will do 300 dmg if you have 350 incant scaling the spell will do 700 dmg.

      There is no funky math formula or any trickery. 100 scaling means 100% damage. 200 scaling means 200% damage

        If you are a STR bro, worry about getting the minimum for the good chunks.
        26 faith, 18 Int, and 10 arcane. The rest of the stats you can go whatever. STR bros have it rough, but can literally dk any infusion with maximum values.
        Usually Zwei is the go to weapon so you can make use of any stat branching and still pack it. Great for pvp too.

          Could someone clarify something for me please? using the glintstone whetblade to give a weapon cold affinity sees a pretty big drop in base damage. I have a couple of questions.
          (1) Do melee builds, incantation builds and hybrids of the two, who are unlikely to have any
          investment in INT, just accept the big drop in damage from putting cold on it?

          (2) is putting cold on a weapon worth the drop in base damage when used against enemies vulnerable to frostbite, will a cold weapon do enough damage to enemies that are weak to it to compensate for the drop in the base damage?

          (3) basically, I'm wondering if these whetblades work in the same way weapons, spells and incantations do, where certain weapons are only worthwhile if you have the right attributes to see their potential, and you have to make up your mind what you want to use. So would someone with a build that has no points in INT just not put cold on a weapon in the first place and use freeze grease instead?

            Here is my incant scaling test with lightning bolt on the unaware Godrick Soldier by the Lordsworn's Greatsword chest at 18 and 40 faith.

            116 incant: 294 dmg
            140 incant: 373 dmg

            Fully charged lightning spear
            116 incant: 358 dmg
            140 incant: 453 dmg

            For a 24 increase in incant scaling, I got a 25% increase to lightning spear damage.
            Incant damage = (incant base damage)(incant modifier)
            could be incant modifier starts to be 1.0 at 100.

              Here is some data at 158 and 198 incant scaling. I used the dragon communion seal (+15% to dragon incantations) and equipped/ unequipped the mimic tear helmet to get these numbers. The target unequipped all his gear and had 10 fire resistance and -10 lightning resistance and 0 all other resistances
