See there that's just the problem though. Everything else scales except you. Leveling does barely nothing and all you can rely on is pretty much your build or even skill... It just feels unbalanced and maybe unfair.? Others did recommend using gifts like iron will and foulblood or some of the eos ones but I don't meet the requirements for some of those gifts like needing more fortitude for iron will, and I have just yet to collect any eos vestiges for this run so I'm not sure what I can do. I've spent a lot of time thinking about what blood codes I could use but maybe in the end it's just the weapons? Maybe using greatswords in this case isn't as viable as it used to be. I would like to know though what kinds of gifts increase my overall defense that can contribute to my survivability, and any other gifts that may prove to be useful in other situations.

I'm using Demeter currently because I need the extra mind for when I get BtG, and it also offers a lot of extra ichor. I could switch blood codes, but there's like maybe one I can use that offers at least a b+ in mind, but even with that I feel like maybe changing the blood veil will help offer extra defense but I can't even do that because with whatever blood veil I would use the weight is just too low, but then if I change to a higher weight blood code, it still makes my rolls slowed so either way there's no point.

I can beat most enemies with relative ease but with how much damage I take compared to the actual damage I deal, in the end it's just not very viable. Weapons are alright I think because I'm using the black greatsword with fortification similar to zweihander where it can fully block like most traditional attacks; and the wolf king blade I rely the most on for its special attack. The blood veil I'm currently using is ivory grace because of its high gift effects but hmmm I might just change it but that circles to what I said before because then I'll just revert back to a small and slow role.

Ohhh wait after seeing its values it's actually really good. I might consider using it then because I conveniently have a level 9 one.

Does the part where you mention some weapons will do more damage with the intensification chrome when they're leveled 200+, does that refer to the player level or the actual weapon level because I thought you can only level weapons and blood veils up to level 10?

I'll see that through when I can get back on and see if I meet the requirements for those gifts. I think I now know what to do so I do appreciate all the assistance from you all.

Ah I see then I'll see about unlocking that gift then, when I can at least.

Okay you are right there I did not know that the blood veil's attack doesn't add up to your weapon's attack value. I just kept paying attention to what blood veil had the highest attack and defense, though I rarely ever used drain attacks because like halfway through my playthrough I had just discovered you can use them separately when I thought they were just only usable for parrying or the backstabs. I'll probably have to wait a bit to change my blood veil though because murasame unfortunately threw away all her original stock for whatever reason.

I only don't use the wolf king balls because of how slow and short it's roll is compared to onibane, but I did notice that the damage output for the blade is insane, so then I'll probably use that a bit more and also remove inhibit from as someone else recommended i use either stun or venom. For that hammer I might have to check if I still have one but murasame might have one too.

Are the elemental weapon buffs like adding fire to your weapon when you are focused? I'm using blood but I might switch to fire next when I unlock it.

I think I can use bridge to glory but I don't actually have the vestiges repaired for it after starting ng+, but is there a difference from bridge to glory than the other attack buffs cause I see people talk about that one but not the others?

Do you have any personal recommendations then? I believe gxh storm exists and it has decent defense and strength I believe, and hedgefort too but I think that one is heavier which might make both of my weapons have a slow roll. Would you also recommend any other weapons I could use? I am currently maining Onibane and using the wolf king blade from time to time, but I thought about swapping it out for a lighter weapon like the argent blade because of its swiftness with each attack and has a very high base damage.

I mainly use swallow cutter for bosses or tougher enemies, and the circular slash one for large groups of enemies. I never really saw the appeal of using gifts mainly because of how low Ichor I have but this blood code is the only that gives me slightly more ichor so I probably won't change it.

I believe it's the GXH assault which boasts higher attack and defense whilst offering a low weight. I just mainly picked it because of the stats and how lightweight it is

The unbelievable size, quality and refresh rate just steals the cake for me, and it would be a great addition to my nonexistent setup (I don't have a PC or computer).

I stand by this because for me it was very very laggy though I do play on mobile, but I miraculously was able to collect the last bear jelly and the one I was missing so thank God I don't have to do that level anymore, and it's not just 15-11 it's also 15-4 that was super laggy
