This is just to explain how my oc, Maylis, would fight in Elden Ring, to know what her weapon set up is like.
So, Maylis' starter would be the prisoner set up with the Golden Seed heirloom as that is important to her lore, but once in the Lands Between properly, she would use the Discus and Triple Rings of Light incantations.
Her weapons that she would use would be the Sword of St. Trina and the Golden Order Seal, at least for a while until she finds something else she likes. (I have not played the DLC yet, so I don't know about any of the new weapons/spells.)
Maylis, while rather good at combat, is rather squishy in defensive terms. So, she tends to summon a variety of her Spirits to help her out during battle, she usually relying on her Crystalian to help distract a difficult foe and to absorb hits better than she could herself.
I have not really thought about her armor yet, but I'll get to it eventually.
