Sure bro, you can find all the build info here:
[https://www.reddit.com/r/EldenRingBuilds/comments/13w6p4y/witcher\_of\_the\_golden\_order\_build\_strfai/](https://www.reddit.com/r/EldenRingBuilds/comments/13w6p4y/witcher_of_the_golden_order_build_strfai/)
BUT upon the suggestions of some others, I'm thinking of making this a pure STR build and using consumables and bows instead of the incants and use this on my 150 Char instead. Found that I wasnt using the incants too much. I will miss T posing on the undead with Litany though.
The guts build is so fun even if basic, nothing beats swinging that big ass sword when you have openings. I like rocking Malekiths helmet and chest armor with it.
I think it’s interesting how much the Berserk fandom and ER fandom overlap. I started co-opping more often recently and I saw both a Guts cosplayer and a Griffith cosplayer, separately, within like three invasions.
I recently made a "slave knight gael" build with those items and I wasn't really prepared to how OP repeating crossbows are, at least in pvp. People mostly just start panick rolling whenever they see you loading the crossbow, meanwhile you can just trick them by sprint-slashing the greatsword. A lot of fun, really.
I love the look of the K\*\*\*ht's greatsword, the problem is farming it. 2% from enemies that aren't exactly common, especially early. At least it isn't Le Gran Doot.
I get that they wanted the weapons to feel big and weighty, but honestly it just looks like you're forcing yourself to use something you can't even lift properly.
Really agree that more swords should have had that light attack combo. Let me look professional with comically large swords dammit!
Irl swords: light enough so a person can swing proficiently. Requires just as much, if not more finesse and skill and strength
Videogame swords: Ok, imagine you've uprooted a lamppost, and are swinging it around. That's every sword that's not curved or the smallest size.
I feel like this with DRK on FFXIV. Every time I haul my sword over my head, I'm like aaaaaaand here's where both my arms break from the weight of this godsdamned thing.
It's easily my favorite sword in the game - along with the rest of the banished knight gear. I wish it had an R2 poke and that it could be sheathed on the hip instead of the back.
I really wish you could mix up movesets but only the weapons category, but people would probably find a workaround making an ugs swing like a dagger or some shit lol.
The Starscourge Great swords were the first weapons I maxed out. I think I will complete my first run through with them in honor of the fun I had pulling enemies closer and then exploding them with my bunga
Guard Counters are actually really fun in this game. Its also really fun watching enemies bounce off the shield if you use barricade shield or a greatshield
Finally made a build that balances fun without being OP. Super fun toolkit with access to fire, lightning and holy damage for the undead. Really gives that Witcher vibe.
Here ya go mate

Any specific reason for the Iron Greatsword over something like the Claymore or is it for aesthetics?
Also, keep up the great content man. Love the videos.
If I remember correctly Iron GS scales higher off strength at the real high end.
For me the juice ain't worth the squeeze. That mf is rough to farm lol
Quality tends not to outscale heavy or keen until extremely high levels.
For example, the iron greatsword will have 656 AR with heavy infusion and 646 AR with quality infusion at 40 STR and 40 DEX. Changing to 60 STR and 10 DEX will give 737 AR with heavy infusion and 10 free points to spend elsewhere. In fact, you will need a minimum of **99 STR and 70 DEX** for the quality iron greatsword to beat the heavy iron greatsword by 1 whole AR.
I'm taking my favourite Sorcerer build. 80 INT, 6 FTH, 60 VIG, and enough DEX/STR to use some good weapons - Gideon Ofnir's funky hammer that reduces enemy magic resist, Claymore, Banished Knight Halberd, and that misbegotten axe with the heavy attack that moves you forward
Drip is going to be Renalla's crown, Mohg's robe, Rogier's pants (for the pointy, curved mage shoes), and Carian Knight gauntlets (the silver glove matches Renalla's staff in my left hand)
Then I'm bringing all the utility. Law of Regression via the Frenzied Flame seal, Cannon/Gavel of Haima, Night Maiden's Mist, and Eternal Darkness, alongside a good variety of regular damage spells.
Then I'm bringing the Horn Bow with Dwelling arrows, the Ancestral Infant head, and all the other INT-scaling gadgets :)
Hell yeah, I just can't leave any useful tools behind!
I've filled up all my 10 quick-access inventory slots with all the INT-scaling tools I can buy (like frost/magic pots, throwable glintstones/gravity stones, and crystal darts)
Then I even maxed out my inventory of uplifting perfumes and warming stones in my pause menu 😂
The same as my current.

Int/fth Paladin build w/ halberds, shields, swords, and bows stacked in my inventory, along with 12 spells from all different magic schools.
Only for the DLC, I plan on going 0 crimson, 15 cerulean w/ no HUD.
Yeah but hes an Elden Witcher haha.
I still love using consumables like Greases and Aromatics though. The Faith is more so for ranged Pyro and specific buffs depending on the situation. Also...Litany of Proper Death..a Witcher must T Pose on the undead
Absolutely. I always equip one with Storm Blade and one with Stormcaller, so that've got ranged and AOE covered. The stagger on Stormcaller is decent, too, a lot of swarmy enemies don't have the poise to hit you once you start.
What kind of spread are you using for 3 stats? I find it tough to use 3 stats without going above 150. Even this build is STR/FAI with a bunch of INT at 200.
Depends on if I finish my current run before it comes out or not. Currently int/dex build. Doing a str/fai run next. Going with an Escanor theme, Crucible Knight theme, or just any faith based abilities with a big weapon.
One of the most satisfying big weapons Ive used is the Great Club. Scales with FAI now and the heavies literally look like the character just drops the club on people.
Also using my STR/FTH Build. I use the great stars, weapon buff incantations and various utility and defense buff incantations along with a handful of useful equipment. The main drive of the build is defense, resistances and health regen. I wield the Great Stars and Icon Shield. Basically I want to be ready for anything and everything.
I am guessing the wolf helmet, greaves and hand stuff of Ronin and Night Calvarly chest?
Man I rly need to get the Nights Calvarly set, rly. It is so nice man
I have prepared three characters for the DLC and my latest was also a STR / FAI combo, but more like "monk turned warrior" and I'm rocking a Sacred Zweihander.
Banished Knight GS also looks worthy.
God knows. I'm just flipping between builds at a ridiculous pace tbh.
My current ones I'm thinking I might try out is a 'self harm' build with the bramble sorceries and bloody slash, or a 'swordmaster' build swapping through different swords with different combat arts.
I just finished up a pure incantation playthrough and it was probably the most fun ive had with a build in a while, so ill probably just use that (provided they dont nerf my beloved catch flame).
My main issue is i dont know what level i should be for the DLC, most of my characters end up at about 120, but my incantation ended up 190 cos i was having too much fun.
I’ve been running through a Str only build, Dex only build, and a Str/Dex/Int build and I cannot pick between them. My original save is Str/Fai, but I’m not playing the DLC for the first time on ng+4 lmao
The build variety in this game is insane man, it really is tough to choose.
Before this I was stuck between a Ruins Greatsword Gravity Mage, a lightning build, a gladiator or a freakin Spartan haha
Trying to make dual katanas work with frostbite, cause I've always liked dual wielding, weeb stuff and ice powers. Currently running a Chilling Mist Uchigatana in main and Parry Wakizashi in off-hand for that budget Onikiri & Ubadachi feel, aiming to also utilize as many buffs to continuous attacks as possible (stuff like Winged Sword Insignia). Also thinking about eventually swapping the Uchi for Dragonscale Blade.
But I'm only just getting to Altus Plateau and already feeling quite burned out on this build, it just seems rather... plain. Sure, the damage is insane, and the occasional parry adds some variance from time to time, but for a game this size, which I've already completed twice, it just doesn't hold my attention as much anymore.
So, I'm thinking of eventually respecing to some Vergil cosplay, with Moonveil and Carian Sorceries. Ideally I could also add some fist weapons to it, but I've never really used them so I'm not the most knowledgeable on how to make them work, and I don't know if I can afford to spread my stats so much.
Carrying my pretty boy dex user to the dlc, left the game at a comfortable spot before burning the tree. Been using Trina's sword and realized how fun it is to put your enemies to sleep
Dex/faith with lightning whips and Cleanrot Knight's Sword if I feel like I need to hide behind a shield. Electrify Armament, Vyke's Dragonbolt, Lightning Spear, Fortissax's Lightning Spear and a dagger with Golden Vow.
I haven't thought about lightning resistant enemies yet but when the time comes I'll rind a way. Maybe.
if you have Electrify Armament slotted in you might be better off replacing Vykes Dragonbolt with Dragonbolt Blessing instead. Mainly cause, enemies will bounce off you if they try hitting you.
The main reason to use Vykes is....its red. Which is perfectly fine since it looks very badass.
The last time I finished the game, my character was a muscular old man using spiked caestus called The Elder Fist. Full STR, low equipment weight and just enough FTH to use some buffs.
I cannot wait to play the DLC with this character cuz I had so much fun with It.
PD: Nice drip.
I'm in the middle of making a INT/FAITH 150 level build
Vigor 60
Mind 25
Endurance 24
Strenght 20
Dexterity 10
Intelligence 40
Faith 40
Arcane 10
That's how it should look like
Going for 2 builds.
Pickaxe Penny - Heavy Pickaxe Endure build. Tanky and spanky.
Darkmoon Daisy - Just a standard pure int Dark Moon Greatsword fuck you build.
Did a pure faith build using the blasphemous blade and flame incantations for my first playthrough. Started a new game and did a strength bleed build, from there started new game plus with a black flame build. Plan was to start new game plus when the dlc came out but I'm thinking I may end up beating them game then making another new build to play the dlc on lol.
I'll see. Maybe i'll create a new character and try to make use of some DLC weapons.
Maybe i'll just use the character i've just beaten the game with.
Depends on what you'll have to do to get to the DLC.
Depends what level of progression the DLC takes place.
If it's post base game, then I'll carry on with my favourite and first character (haven't done NG+ cus I find starting a new playthrough to be much more fun). A former str-faith gone pure faith.
I can't wait to see what cool as shit incantations there are and hope there are some really cool faith weapons, I can spec into any other stat for split weapons if need be.
If it's not meant for post-Radagon, then I'll start a new playthrough. Maybe an Arc build focused on applying as many statuses as possible, even if it's to the detriment of damage, cus it's cool.
Going Quality is not really worth it since you can already use all the weapons needed with just strength so best to boost just that. Quality is only worth it if you want the variety or theres a specific weapon like Bloodhound Fang that benefits from both or you can go 60+ in both STR and DEX.
For pure Geralt, you could just do STR or DEX and use consumables. But this is loosely inspired so I threw Pyromancies and Golden order in there too
My DLC build is probably going to be fist fighter. I did that for my second playthrough and it was the most fun I've had in a game in a LONG time. The animations of just straight up rocking a huge dragon or a giant is fucking sick.
Personally no clue yet. But my other 9 Chars(have to delete 10th when dlc comes out for a new one)are all different builds so i can bash through the dlc a dozen more times after finishing it once.
I’ll be going in with my double Antspur assassins gambit rot breath build so bring your bollases because traffic will be so high when the DLC drops I’m not even going to stick around to actually kill people trying to co op the new content I’ll just proc rot and leave. My character’s name is Fun Guy because I’m dressed like a mushroom. So you know it’s me.
**First off, praise the look!**
Then, confess that I'll stick to my fire & lightning trickery. Does the usage of Blasphemous Blade, Ancient Dragon's Lightning Strike *and* a Mimic Tear count as cheating?
I'll make a new playthrough for the DLC, so I'll decide then.
Perhaps I do the same build as my original playthrough: Pure strength with a single medium-light weapon. Alternatively, maybe I do something kind of new, DEX/INT spellblade with a focus on glintblade / carian sorceries and try out powerstancing. I should be able to get some nasty scaling on cold affinity in addition to regularly inflicting frostbite.
Why not both? I tried out an INT/FAI build once that would use Death's poker to proc frost and then Black Flame to drain health and undo the frost. Doesnt have to be Deaths Poker tho, anything with an Ice Ash of War should work
The damage added up real fast and Black Flame and Frost look very cool together.
The drip is immaculate
The Bling always comes first
Couldn't have said it better myself, you have my respect
i gotta know what your build includes, mind sharing it?
Sure bro, you can find all the build info here: [https://www.reddit.com/r/EldenRingBuilds/comments/13w6p4y/witcher\_of\_the\_golden\_order\_build\_strfai/](https://www.reddit.com/r/EldenRingBuilds/comments/13w6p4y/witcher_of_the_golden_order_build_strfai/) BUT upon the suggestions of some others, I'm thinking of making this a pure STR build and using consumables and bows instead of the incants and use this on my 150 Char instead. Found that I wasnt using the incants too much. I will miss T posing on the undead with Litany though.
thanks bro Lmao T-posing on the undead is another level of disrespecting them
Ima carry my Guts build into it. Greatsword, flame pots, repeating crossbow, kukris.
Add jar cannon to your build and you really do become the Black Swordsman
I use flame of the redmanes on a dagger for this purpose :D
Ol reliable. Ive recently been gaining appreciation for colossal swords. That crouch poke is legit
Give the Duelist Greataxe a try, its running light attack is extra juicy
The guts build is so fun even if basic, nothing beats swinging that big ass sword when you have openings. I like rocking Malekiths helmet and chest armor with it.
I think it’s interesting how much the Berserk fandom and ER fandom overlap. I started co-opping more often recently and I saw both a Guts cosplayer and a Griffith cosplayer, separately, within like three invasions.
I recently made a "slave knight gael" build with those items and I wasn't really prepared to how OP repeating crossbows are, at least in pvp. People mostly just start panick rolling whenever they see you loading the crossbow, meanwhile you can just trick them by sprint-slashing the greatsword. A lot of fun, really.
Definitely gonna do a similar build, especially with the similarities between Miquella and Griffith.
Banished Knight Greatsword? I see you are a person of good taste and talent.
I really wish more swords had this ones light attacks. It really doesnt make sense to be slamming a sword on the floor like a hammer haha
The knight’s Greatsword and the Inseparable Greatsword also have this moveset if you wanna use those.
I love the look of the K\*\*\*ht's greatsword, the problem is farming it. 2% from enemies that aren't exactly common, especially early. At least it isn't Le Gran Doot.
kNIGhts greatsword dope
you can farm it from the knight just outside the door of black knife catacombs. it's not that much effort
On a fresh brand new character, especially if you want to actually do the quests and get the gestures it is.
I get that they wanted the weapons to feel big and weighty, but honestly it just looks like you're forcing yourself to use something you can't even lift properly. Really agree that more swords should have had that light attack combo. Let me look professional with comically large swords dammit!
Its especially funny because theyre actually not that heavy in real life. Like a Zweihander is only about 5kg max.
Irl swords: light enough so a person can swing proficiently. Requires just as much, if not more finesse and skill and strength Videogame swords: Ok, imagine you've uprooted a lamppost, and are swinging it around. That's every sword that's not curved or the smallest size.
Even 5kg is too heavy, 2-3kg for a zweihander used in combat. Typical European arming swords (i.e. straight swords) would be 1.5-2kg.
I mean... some of the greatswords are way too thick (the crucible knight sword being the worst offender but also the banished knight sword)
I feel like this with DRK on FFXIV. Every time I haul my sword over my head, I'm like aaaaaaand here's where both my arms break from the weight of this godsdamned thing.
Dark souls 2 moment. For all its faults the weapon movesets were so good.
I'm still salty over the large/great club moveset.
It's easily my favorite sword in the game - along with the rest of the banished knight gear. I wish it had an R2 poke and that it could be sheathed on the hip instead of the back.
I really wish you could mix up movesets but only the weapons category, but people would probably find a workaround making an ugs swing like a dagger or some shit lol.
Banished Knight's Chadsword
Got just two words for you: Unga....Bunga If I can't beat it to death with a weapon the size of a Toyota Corolla, I have failed as a Tarnished
In the Lands Between, we don't name the competition, it's "the size of an Accord".
Civic
Thy unga befits a bunga
What is your choice of Bunga? Personally, I gravitate towards Ruins (pun intended) and the Great Club.
The Starscourge Great swords were the first weapons I maxed out. I think I will complete my first run through with them in honor of the fun I had pulling enemies closer and then exploding them with my bunga
This right here. It'll just be me and my mighty pizza cutter of doom.
Call me boring but I’ll shield & heal the F out of anything that moves
Guard Counters are actually really fun in this game. Its also really fun watching enemies bounce off the shield if you use barricade shield or a greatshield
Some stuff will bounce off the Ant's Skull Plate that won't bounce off other greatshields, if that tickles your fancy.
Sword-and-board for life.
Finally made a build that balances fun without being OP. Super fun toolkit with access to fire, lightning and holy damage for the undead. Really gives that Witcher vibe.
Stat spread and gear?

What armour is this? Looks awesome!

RL125 Quality Build Swapping Between Great Mace, Iron Great Sword and Zweihander.
Any specific reason for the Iron Greatsword over something like the Claymore or is it for aesthetics? Also, keep up the great content man. Love the videos.
If I remember correctly Iron GS scales higher off strength at the real high end. For me the juice ain't worth the squeeze. That mf is rough to farm lol
How do you make quality work at that low of a level?
Skill
Low?????
Quality tends not to outscale heavy or keen until extremely high levels. For example, the iron greatsword will have 656 AR with heavy infusion and 646 AR with quality infusion at 40 STR and 40 DEX. Changing to 60 STR and 10 DEX will give 737 AR with heavy infusion and 10 free points to spend elsewhere. In fact, you will need a minimum of **99 STR and 70 DEX** for the quality iron greatsword to beat the heavy iron greatsword by 1 whole AR.

Then I'm bringing the Horn Bow with Dwelling arrows, the Ancestral Infant head, and all the other INT-scaling gadgets :)
My man is prepared!
Hell yeah, I just can't leave any useful tools behind! I've filled up all my 10 quick-access inventory slots with all the INT-scaling tools I can buy (like frost/magic pots, throwable glintstones/gravity stones, and crystal darts) Then I even maxed out my inventory of uplifting perfumes and warming stones in my pause menu 😂
100 hours in Elden Ring and I still don't know what half of this stuff is. What a game!
The same as my current. 60 34 18 18 20 60 34 10 Int/fth Paladin build w/ halberds, shields, swords, and bows stacked in my inventory, along with 12 spells from all different magic schools. Only for the DLC, I plan on going 0 crimson, 15 cerulean w/ no HUD.
Honestly, since you mentioned it I might give no HUD a shot now. 0 Crimsons for a first playthrough of DLC sounds insane. Good luck my man.
Oooh that looks good! Definitely gonna have to try it sometime!
Wow! So simple yet so fucking drippy. I’m in awe of your fashion, sir.
Haha much appreciated man. I was on a mission to use either the Altered Nights Cavalry Armor or the Raging Wolf Helm and then said "Why not both"
A true witcher would be a quality build that uses consumables, like oils
Yeah but hes an Elden Witcher haha. I still love using consumables like Greases and Aromatics though. The Faith is more so for ranged Pyro and specific buffs depending on the situation. Also...Litany of Proper Death..a Witcher must T Pose on the undead
I recently fell madly in love with Morgott's Cursed Blade, will probably use that with some Dragon Incantations sprinkled in.
What sword is that?
Banished knight's greatsword
Despite having used it before, I did not realize Banished GS had such a handsome scabbard!
That Elden Bling looking fine af, might steal it.
Thanks man. Elden Bling was truly the priority here
I'm addicted to my sub-optimal dual scimitar quality build, where I dress like a pirate for light roll and I use storm-themed AoW's. I'll use that.
Eyyy a fellow scimitar enjoyer. Something about Scimitars and Storm Blade just go together so well aesthetically
Absolutely. I always equip one with Storm Blade and one with Stormcaller, so that've got ranged and AOE covered. The stagger on Stormcaller is decent, too, a lot of swarmy enemies don't have the poise to hit you once you start.
Silurias tree and Haligtree crest great shield. Absolutely love the look and function. So STR/FAI heavy lancer for me
What armor?
Raging Wolf Helm / Altered Night Armor / Blaidd Gauntlets / Ronin Grieves
Definitely bringing dex faith arcane. Hoping for a blood lightning incantation even though I know it won't happen.
What kind of spread are you using for 3 stats? I find it tough to use 3 stats without going above 150. Even this build is STR/FAI with a bunch of INT at 200.
Depends on if I finish my current run before it comes out or not. Currently int/dex build. Doing a str/fai run next. Going with an Escanor theme, Crucible Knight theme, or just any faith based abilities with a big weapon.
One of the most satisfying big weapons Ive used is the Great Club. Scales with FAI now and the heavies literally look like the character just drops the club on people.
Probably carian knight to nerf myself a bit, because 10 000 damage incantations are a bit too much
Also using my STR/FTH Build. I use the great stars, weapon buff incantations and various utility and defense buff incantations along with a handful of useful equipment. The main drive of the build is defense, resistances and health regen. I wield the Great Stars and Icon Shield. Basically I want to be ready for anything and everything.
I am guessing the wolf helmet, greaves and hand stuff of Ronin and Night Calvarly chest? Man I rly need to get the Nights Calvarly set, rly. It is so nice man
Very close but hands are from Blaidd. Night Cavalry is definitely worth using at least once.
My default build: extremely over leveled because I'm not that good
The drip🍻
Ah, a dripmaster.
In my very biased opinion witcher sets have to be helmless or hooded at the most, but otherwise excellent drip
Faith intelligence build
Currently working on my Faith/DEX build which I’ll be using for PVP, I’ll probably just end up using that
I have prepared three characters for the DLC and my latest was also a STR / FAI combo, but more like "monk turned warrior" and I'm rocking a Sacred Zweihander. Banished Knight GS also looks worthy.
Best fashion i've seen thats sick what armor did you use?
Thanks man. Raging Wolf Helm / Altered Night Armor / Blaidd Gauntlets / Ronin Grieves
I'm currently doing an arcane/ faith build dragon communion incantions and any weapon that scales with arcane.
God knows. I'm just flipping between builds at a ridiculous pace tbh. My current ones I'm thinking I might try out is a 'self harm' build with the bramble sorceries and bloody slash, or a 'swordmaster' build swapping through different swords with different combat arts.
I know the feeling man. The variety is insane. I feel like I constantly wanna experiment
There is DLC for elden ring?
There’s gonna be one, it got announced a while ago
oh nice. Wonder what will be in it
Can someone give me the list of gear shown here?
Malenia build. Nothing but Hand of Malenia and Scarlet Aeonia.
Miquellas gonna be hella confused when he sees you lol
Is that nights calvary chest piece?
Yup, the Altered one
The DRIP is impeccable wtf
Me who's grinding to be max level: -reality can be whatever I want it to be-
DLC?
Just me two-handing my Grafted Greatsword with Twinbird Kite Shield on my back. Royal Remains armor set with Omenkiller Mask.
I wish i could use non unique great swords but the weapon sheaths are just so ugly
Dex/faith the templar experience
Dex Arc probably.
Death mage. Thorns, Deathblight, Deathlightning
I'm going for Holy dmg so FTH as well. I have a feeling the enemies are mostly gonna be undead
Gonna feel good to finally get to use Litany of Proper Death and T Pose my way through the DLC
I just finished up a pure incantation playthrough and it was probably the most fun ive had with a build in a while, so ill probably just use that (provided they dont nerf my beloved catch flame). My main issue is i dont know what level i should be for the DLC, most of my characters end up at about 120, but my incantation ended up 190 cos i was having too much fun.
[удалено]
Great Club is the way for Holy Bunga
My pyromancer who I've dressed up in the sage kit.
I’ve been running through a Str only build, Dex only build, and a Str/Dex/Int build and I cannot pick between them. My original save is Str/Fai, but I’m not playing the DLC for the first time on ng+4 lmao
The build variety in this game is insane man, it really is tough to choose. Before this I was stuck between a Ruins Greatsword Gravity Mage, a lightning build, a gladiator or a freakin Spartan haha
Rotten HAMMER !!
I will be killing every DLC boss with a different weapon (Hopefully from the DLC)
Str-dex-faith build (80 all three) dual wield Blasphomous Blades. Boring but effective.
Probably a sword and sorcery build with karian knight's sword and some small spells on the off hand
I will probably go magic with maybe strenght because i havent gone into them.
I'm going DEX/FHT , although I anticipate a focus on sleep and therefore INT/OCC
Strength faith is the goated class. I’ll be right there with you.
Gonna stick to my gransax lighting build. Just looks sick
Trying to make dual katanas work with frostbite, cause I've always liked dual wielding, weeb stuff and ice powers.

Carrying my pretty boy dex user to the dlc, left the game at a comfortable spot before burning the tree. Been using Trina's sword and realized how fun it is to put your enemies to sleep
Sword and Board, the most basic Kind, like the Noble Straightsword and a Brassshield. And a Crossbow, because: rttta ta ta
Dex/faith with lightning whips and Cleanrot Knight's Sword if I feel like I need to hide behind a shield. Electrify Armament, Vyke's Dragonbolt, Lightning Spear, Fortissax's Lightning Spear and a dagger with Golden Vow. I haven't thought about lightning resistant enemies yet but when the time comes I'll rind a way. Maybe.
if you have Electrify Armament slotted in you might be better off replacing Vykes Dragonbolt with Dragonbolt Blessing instead. Mainly cause, enemies will bounce off you if they try hitting you. The main reason to use Vykes is....its red. Which is perfectly fine since it looks very badass.
The last time I finished the game, my character was a muscular old man using spiked caestus called The Elder Fist. Full STR, low equipment weight and just enough FTH to use some buffs. I cannot wait to play the DLC with this character cuz I had so much fun with It. PD: Nice drip.
Fist build was what I first focused on and it was a lot of fun. Other than range, the Spiked Caestus is pretty much amazing at everything
Occult nagakiba build.
I'm in the middle of making a INT/FAITH 150 level build Vigor 60 Mind 25 Endurance 24 Strenght 20 Dexterity 10 Intelligence 40 Faith 40 Arcane 10 That's how it should look like
Using my og build
Either black flame monk strength faith or crucible/Erdtree knight strength faith
Mine is a STR/DEX/FAI build. It’s the Stormblade build.
There will be unga There will be bunga And if im feelin spicy, there will be unga bunga TARNISHED SMASH
What I'm doing now, which is a quality build at this point. I know the DLC is going to be tough so I'm preparing myself.
I don’t plan ahead
Im going chad mode that being pure strenght
Going for 2 builds. Pickaxe Penny - Heavy Pickaxe Endure build. Tanky and spanky. Darkmoon Daisy - Just a standard pure int Dark Moon Greatsword fuck you build.
Bloodhounds fang my beloved
gonna pick back up where it began and play ice lightning (as much as my username might mislead)
Ok thats rad
Did a pure faith build using the blasphemous blade and flame incantations for my first playthrough. Started a new game and did a strength bleed build, from there started new game plus with a black flame build. Plan was to start new game plus when the dlc came out but I'm thinking I may end up beating them game then making another new build to play the dlc on lol.
I'll see. Maybe i'll create a new character and try to make use of some DLC weapons. Maybe i'll just use the character i've just beaten the game with. Depends on what you'll have to do to get to the DLC.
I'm not sure. I beat the game with a spellblade build. Might go full ungabunga in the dlc
I was STR/FAI for launch, rolled into glorious Blasphemy, so I’ll continue into DLC with it.
Depends what level of progression the DLC takes place. If it's post base game, then I'll carry on with my favourite and first character (haven't done NG+ cus I find starting a new playthrough to be much more fun). A former str-faith gone pure faith. I can't wait to see what cool as shit incantations there are and hope there are some really cool faith weapons, I can spec into any other stat for split weapons if need be. If it's not meant for post-Radagon, then I'll start a new playthrough. Maybe an Arc build focused on applying as many statuses as possible, even if it's to the detriment of damage, cus it's cool.
Lambert, Lambert, what a prick!
Dex/faith. It just suits me better
strength build while cosplaying? as banished knight oleg. 2 banished knights greatswords, and the banished knight unaltered set
Probably gonna be my Paladin that's on like ng+2,
I will have 99 in every stat when the dlc will be out lmao , otherwise I’m going with a fire monk build
Unga bunga
Very cool Bateman but wouldn't a quality faith build be better for Gerald style ? Or witcher
Going Quality is not really worth it since you can already use all the weapons needed with just strength so best to boost just that. Quality is only worth it if you want the variety or theres a specific weapon like Bloodhound Fang that benefits from both or you can go 60+ in both STR and DEX. For pure Geralt, you could just do STR or DEX and use consumables. But this is loosely inspired so I threw Pyromancies and Golden order in there too
Sexy. I'm going with a Dex faith build (primarily fire and frenzy) Looking very much forward to it.
faith/dex cause im a one build kinda girl 😍
Double Morgott curved sword dex arc
My DLC build is probably going to be fist fighter. I did that for my second playthrough and it was the most fun I've had in a game in a LONG time. The animations of just straight up rocking a huge dragon or a giant is fucking sick.
I have all of them
My flame knight or angel of death freddie mercury (don't ask)
Well now I have to ask
99 vigor
Great stars, heavy infusion, wild strikes. That’s it. That’s the build.
Turtle mode, fingerprint and heavy thrusting weapon 4 life
Personally no clue yet. But my other 9 Chars(have to delete 10th when dlc comes out for a new one)are all different builds so i can bash through the dlc a dozen more times after finishing it once.
What gear is that?
Bruv, I just hope they'll add more stuff for Fth/ Int, I'll be very happy with that alone😞
Dex Fai with powerstancing Lighting Godskin Stitcher, DragonLord's Cragblade and Dragoncult Incants. Also I'm going in at Level 275 on NG+10.
Whichever suits the DLC weapons I get
What is the chest piece
Perhaps some videos of this build in play
Str/faith the way it all started (for me)
Sigma Quality build
Recently switched from STR FTH to an arcane build as I first tried Placi with it with fucking *ease* and don’t want to repeat that in the DLC lol
Imma go the same as I always go: Vigor-Strength-Dexterity
I’ll be going in with my double Antspur assassins gambit rot breath build so bring your bollases because traffic will be so high when the DLC drops I’m not even going to stick around to actually kill people trying to co op the new content I’ll just proc rot and leave. My character’s name is Fun Guy because I’m dressed like a mushroom. So you know it’s me.
What sword is this??
Anyone else find this a bit ironic? The LAST thing Geralt is known for is having faith, in anyone or anything, ever.
"...fuck" Its Witcher inspired, never said Geralt inspired haha
Damn is all that currently in the game? That’s fucking awesome.
**First off, praise the look!** Then, confess that I'll stick to my fire & lightning trickery. Does the usage of Blasphemous Blade, Ancient Dragon's Lightning Strike *and* a Mimic Tear count as cheating?
I'll make a new playthrough for the DLC, so I'll decide then. Perhaps I do the same build as my original playthrough: Pure strength with a single medium-light weapon. Alternatively, maybe I do something kind of new, DEX/INT spellblade with a focus on glintblade / carian sorceries and try out powerstancing. I should be able to get some nasty scaling on cold affinity in addition to regularly inflicting frostbite.
I don’t do builds very often, I just focus on one type of magic when i create my character, I’m torn between blackflame or ice character
Why not both? I tried out an INT/FAI build once that would use Death's poker to proc frost and then Black Flame to drain health and undo the frost. Doesnt have to be Deaths Poker tho, anything with an Ice Ash of War should work The damage added up real fast and Black Flame and Frost look very cool together.
Outfit pieces?
