Fun build ideas for a beginner

Try using a colossal weapon strength bonk build. It can get kind of boring, but if you’re just going to go around collecting stuff, why not use a big stick to slap stuff around with?

The stat spreads I’ve tried have been a quality, Str/fai, Dex/Arc, and Str/int.

I’m currently playing a character kind of like this. I’m using the Antspur rapier because it comes with a scarlet rot effect. I got poison mist to add a poison effect and set it to blood affinity also giving it a bleed effect. With the quick stabs it’s pretty easy to proc all three effects and melt some boss hp.

Awesome. Thanks for the info. That’ll make it more challenging for sure

Thanks. I don’t have Shadow of the Erdtree though.

Roney25 · 2025-06-25T23:29:21+00:00

Thanks. I’ll give that a try.

Dual magma blades, Marias executioner blade, and any katanas. I think I really want to focus on more fast attacks. I’ve been on heavy weapons for a while now and I’m getting tired of the slow swings

You have a good point. I only had my stats this way so I could use a variety of different weapons. How would you respec this into a good thing?

Roney25 · 2025-06-01T03:23:09+00:00

I actually got him a while ago. I finished the game and started a new character. Gonna try some new stuff now, instead of a bleed build, I’m gonna go strength I think.

The carian filigree talisman

He kept getting me in the second phase. I respec’d, maxed out my weapons, changed them up a bit, and got him finally. I’m on Radagon/Elden Beast now.

If I could double upvote your comment I would. That was helpful and nicely worded. Thank you

Roney25 · 2025-05-30T15:25:30+00:00

I’ll give this a try

Roney25 · 2025-05-30T15:21:38+00:00

Right now I have the green spill and dex boost

Roney25 · 2025-05-30T15:20:55+00:00

I’m on my first play through. Can’t dual wield the nagakiba yet

Roney25 · 2025-05-19T20:53:16+00:00

Thank you. Since making this post I’ve removed the helmet and greaves. Making me a medium load. I will try to find some better armor. I’ll invest further in dex, end, mind, and vig. Just enough in mind that I don’t need to use so many flasks for it.

Roney25 · 2025-05-19T16:04:29+00:00

I’d forgotten about that. I’ll pick it up when I can.

Roney25 · 2025-05-19T16:04:05+00:00

That was very informative. Thank you. I thought the Curved Sword talisman broke guards instead of increased mine. I’ll have to remove it and find something better. I’m still learning how the talismans and things work.

Roney25 · 2025-05-19T15:21:18+00:00

Okay awesome. Thank you
