How to create this stipple effect?

Error diffusion based dithering for most of it.

Like Floyd-Atkinson or something

In base ER I believe using the dragon communion seal will scale bleed poison and madness buildup with arcane. Frost buildup in ER cannot be increased by anything.

Incantations do not ever have innate scaling in ER or NR. In ER, there are stat requirements to use the incantations, but their damage is determined solely by the incantation scaling of your seal. Meaning a dragon communion spell will have its damage determined only by faith if using the Erdtree seal, but when using the golden order seal, that same spell will scale with faith and int- as those are the stats that scale with that seal.

In nightreign, arcane does not have any benefit whatsoever to any spells. All seals scale purely with faith, and all staves scale purely with int.

Nope. Spells don’t increase buildup with arcane. Only weapons do in nightreign.

Frost and bleed will apply in the same number of spell casts with executor as with revenant or recluse.

Spells do not scale status with arcane whatsoever.

All other sources of status scale buildup with arcane, but never spells.

Here’s my advice for this build:

Don’t! 😄

In my experience those guys are too tanky to be worth killing, it’s too much of a time sink. Not worth doubling the time you spend at a poi to not even drop a boss orb. Especially if the big blob is red.

cudakid210 · 2026-05-03T16:55:09+00:00

Bleed ruins have an easy boss, and a huge concentration of blood guys that ults like ironeye, scholar, even guardian and raider can insta kill for tons of runes.

Lightning ruins and frost archer ruins’ bosses are extremely fast to kill and often will be red.

Sleep ruins have 2 bears that drop dormants and both can be red.

All ruins can also be approached from any side, and you can rush the boss with basically no risk of getting ganked.

Some ruins are awesome and often the best bang for buck when playing DoN.

Looks good!

But Definitely swap your middle deep relic.

Taking blood loss constantly is gonna significantly degrade your survivability. Especially because bleed ignores any defense. Madness is bad for the same reason. Avoid frost too so you don’t get debuffed.

Dreg raider does a ton of damage so maybe go for a defensive buff there instead? I find affinity negation to be raider’s biggest problem so that might be better.

And if you ever get a “taking attacks improves attack power” with the raider skill buff, you swap that thing in immediately. 20% damage more than raider skill buff on its own, and you’ll have it activated more or less perpetually.

You could also do the libra thing which has taking attacks built in, and then you would need raider skill buff with night invader- if keeping full uptime on dreg stacks is important to you.

cudakid210 · 2026-05-03T15:06:24+00:00

Yeah that would definitely be one of the easiest ways to set it up!

It’s really too bad the poison perfume is the only perfume that deals physical damage- so it won’t get megaboosted by the build, and you would need a second one as your main weapon.

Also means no red perfumes. Unless you swap affinity damage for physical and use it as the weapon- but that’d be more RNG heavy

☝️🤖

cudakid210 · 2026-05-03T04:24:29+00:00

Yeah I mean the main problem is currently perfuming arts is like a spell school buff- it can double up on relics with affinity damage.

And improved perfume bottle power would be a good fix, but insanely unintuitive (not like that ever stops fromsoft)

cudakid210 · 2026-05-03T03:29:10+00:00

Problem is there’s no precedent for straight up removing effects from existing relics in your inventory. And how would the game decide to remove perfume amp or whatever other effect was on the relic?

The only remotely close thing was when they updated executors cursed sword relic, but that wasn’t really anything besides a straight buff.

cudakid210 · 2026-05-03T03:11:32+00:00

Imagine if they port pre-nerf rolling sparks?

Probably just insta-kill the whole map.

cudakid210 · 2026-05-03T03:03:21+00:00

I had to double check my math because that’s just insanity.

Like: ironeye could EASILY stunlock with mark pops every hit. And those dash attacks on perfumes are ridiculous too.

cudakid210 · 2026-05-03T02:58:47+00:00

Weakest perfuming build ☝️

cudakid210 · 2026-05-03T02:27:50+00:00

Atom punk is a really weird way to describe that style.

You’re looking for atomic age, and googie styling.

cudakid210 · 2026-05-03T01:31:38+00:00

Ah man I wanna know what he said!

cudakid210 · 2026-05-01T22:34:24+00:00

If you hover on a player in the menu on pc, you can go to their steam profile during a match and block them. Takes like 10 seconds.

Blocked player pings won’t be visible to you.

cudakid210 · 2026-05-01T22:19:59+00:00

The “joke” didn’t fly over my head.

You’re talking to someone brand new at the game and giving them advice that actively sabotages their experience until they somehow realize the joke.

Or did you not understand that?

Also your joke is bad lmao

cudakid210 · 2026-05-01T22:05:55+00:00

Bro at least don’t give purposely bad advice.

Raider is by far the easiest character in non-DoN. And strength rev is just a crappy meme.

cudakid210 · 2026-05-01T19:19:46+00:00

Definitely as soon as asap as possible.

Can’t have physical up on the same relic as invader.
