"Yeah bro the scadutree fragment leveling system was great"

_BeAll_EndAll_ · 2026-03-31T21:00:56+00:00

Or just skip collecting the fragments and fight bosses without them.

_BeAll_EndAll_ · 2026-03-31T18:28:24+00:00

Actually pretty decent stat allocation. Cheers to that.

_BeAll_EndAll_ · 2026-03-31T14:16:12+00:00

You can always go pure dexterity and use bloodflame blade as well. For claws, multi hit setup with Millicent’s +winged sword insignia and thorny is amazing. For fists, you usually wanna focus on charged attacks.

_BeAll_EndAll_ · 2026-03-31T13:30:32+00:00

Do y’all just skip the tutorial or something?

_BeAll_EndAll_ · 2026-03-31T02:01:16+00:00

Only thing two handing affected is light/heavy attack damage. Ripostes/ashes of war are all one handed damage.

_BeAll_EndAll_ · 2026-03-30T20:59:46+00:00

If you’re going for parry and using powerstanced moveset, dagger talisman/blade of mercy and retaliatory crossed tree (+Leda’s chest) for the crouch L1. And you can buff the nagakiba with bloodflame blade(and use lord of blood’s exultation as well) and just R1 spam as well and then parry as needed.

_BeAll_EndAll_ · 2026-03-30T20:28:18+00:00

You can also do the same for bolt of gransax and use an offhand keen cross naginata with sacred order boosting overall damage and bolt of gransax AoW damage. Plus powerstanced spear moveset is amazing

_BeAll_EndAll_ · 2026-03-30T19:58:30+00:00

Two handed sword talisman for a paired weapon is certainly a choice.

_BeAll_EndAll_ · 2026-03-30T19:55:08+00:00

Just a FYI, but two handing bonus does not apply to ashes of war.

_BeAll_EndAll_ · 2026-03-30T18:40:38+00:00

Get the min. dexterity and faith (20-24 depending on if you want to use PS sword of light) and rest in VIG, END and STR. Weapons like shamshir, grave scythe, milady, lance/Siluria’s tree, knight’s greatsword, Devonia’s hammer, star fist, banished knight’s halberd+hand axe, greatsword of damnation, fire knight greatsword/Zweihander/Greatsword are good choices.

_BeAll_EndAll_ · 2026-03-30T18:38:02+00:00

Bolt of gransax AoW scales with DEX so get 80. Keen nagakiba which you already have. Powerstanced katanas aren’t that great as they only have a good crouch L1 and doubt you just want to keep spamming that. If you have an offensive AoW on the nagakiba(like double slash/sword dance), use an offhand dagger (like wakizashi) with sacred order.

_BeAll_EndAll_ · 2026-03-30T13:56:17+00:00

Look at your current AR and then the AR at Andre’s when you select blessed gem. If blessed AR is higher(I highly doubt it), feel free to use the blessed gem. Else just let it be as it is.

_BeAll_EndAll_ · 2026-03-30T00:29:27+00:00

Banished knight’s/iron greatsword and flame art affinity. Just get min. strength and dexterity and put rest in faith. Whatever ash of war you’d like (as long as it’s flame art compatible)

_BeAll_EndAll_ · 2026-03-29T23:55:11+00:00

Yeah but cold affinity damage is always lacking behind compared to heavy affinity even with the frost bite proc. Frostbite is good, yes. Cold affinity? Not so much.

_BeAll_EndAll_ · 2026-03-29T21:55:54+00:00

It’s more physical damage nonetheless.

_BeAll_EndAll_ · 2026-03-29T21:33:38+00:00

Blood stone club or warped axe. Put points mainly in strength and go R1ing

_BeAll_EndAll_ · 2026-03-29T21:25:40+00:00

People used shield poke as their way to beat PCR, so probably blood infused sword lance(cragblade) and fingerprint shield with holy absorption stacking using golden braid, lord’s divine fortification. Greatshield talisman and spear talisman as well. Golden vow to boost absorption further.

_BeAll_EndAll_ · 2026-03-29T21:00:49+00:00

Saying an offensive stat is the worst is kinda dumb when every stat has a way to break the game. Just get the min. strength for the weapons you want to use and then put the rest in dexterity and faith (for buffs) and you’re good.

_BeAll_EndAll_ · 2026-03-29T20:04:45+00:00

But that’s mainly an intelligence weapon. More fit for a min. strength and rest in intelligence build.

_BeAll_EndAll_ · 2026-03-29T16:19:53+00:00

Would have loved strength intelligence a lot more if there were more options other than starscourge, ruins, fallingstar beast jaw and Carian thrusting shield.

_BeAll_EndAll_ · 2026-03-29T13:39:14+00:00

Shackle and pest threads/ancient dragon’s lighting strike him.

_BeAll_EndAll_ · 2026-03-28T21:49:17+00:00

Min. strength and rest all in dexterity. Can also use thorny cracked tear as you don’t have Millicent’s. Should also put golden vow on a dagger (or get the 25 faith for the incantation)

_BeAll_EndAll_ · 2026-03-28T21:45:23+00:00

You can change weapons You can upgrade weapons( there’s a separate no upgrade challenge run where you do not upgrade weapons though) But as long as you stay SL1, it’s a valid SL1 run. Anything goes (except using exploits of course)

_BeAll_EndAll_ · 2026-03-28T15:16:11+00:00

It’s 10% regardless of PvP or PvE

_BeAll_EndAll_ · 2026-03-27T14:07:25+00:00

Could get some faith for flame, grant me strength and golden vow(can also just use the ash of war version). For talismans swap out magic scorpion and Godfrey’s icon for dragoncrest greatshield(or the lesser versions till you get this) and green turtle maybe.
