Best Weapon Types for Staggering: Colossal weapons, greatswords, or hammers
Ideal Ash of War: Lion’s Claw for high poise damage

6. Mind Their Health Threshold
At around 50% HP, Trolls often switch tactics:

Trolls with swords will unsheathe their weapon, dramatically increasing their attack range and Elden Ring Items aggression.
Frenzied Trolls may intensify their flame incantations, creating larger flame bursts.

When you notice this phase shift, prioritize defense and look for stagger opportunities.
