As we stare down the Elden Ring DLC, I can't decide which of my all-time favorite builds to take into the RPG's Shadow of the Erdtree expansion

Decisions in Elden Ring are important. Often, they're the difference between success and failure. Do you circumvent an enemy horde, or take them head-on? Do you unleash your most powerful spells at the beginning of a boss fight, or do you hold fire until the final stretch when your health is low? Do you attack or defend, parry or roll, live or You Died – so many decisions made in the Lands Between can change the face of your game in an instant. 

My latest head-scratching quandary is a little more abstract in that it's not a direct moment-to-moment in-game decision, but it is one that'll affect pretty much everything moving forward. With Elden Ring's Shadow of the Erdtree DLC gunning towards its June 20 release date, I'm torn between which of my two favorite builds to lead into the game's long-awaited and much-anticipated expansion: my hybrid Moonlight Crusader mage build, or my hybrid Executioner bleed build.
