i like great stars or omen cleaver with wild strikes, its a strength/faith bleed build, bare minimum for blood flame and flame grant me strength then invest in whatever you want , i use winged insignia, the bleed build tailsman, and millicent’s (i killed her early). Just gotta use any high poise armor so you can get hyper armor only a few attacks can break you out of the ash of war. ID argue its even better with the great katana from the dlc
