Determination is a skill that can be found in Ashes of War and applied to compatible weapons in Elden Ring. Ash of War: Determination provides the Quality affinity and allows you to buff yourself to empower your next attack. The Quality affinity makes it so your strength and dexterity stats will equally raise your damage output, so you shouldnt use it if youve been dumping all your runes into one category or the other. The weapon skill of Determination blesses your weapon to deal increased damage on the next attack, making it a very useful option when buffing pre-battle, though you can also use it mid-fight if you can get some space between you and your opponent. The skill cost of Determination is 10 FP.
