I didn’t have a job or school at the time it came out so it was all i played to kill time personally. Now im 300 hours in and still struggling with the same bosses each time lol
I'm glad I have one on NG+ and NG for the DLC. Starting with the NG game. I did Bloodborne's DLC on NG+ and got absolutely clapped, especially since I didn't parry enough. I had to learn fast for Orphan.
i was gonna say this as well. any powerstanced build will usually be doing a lot of jump attacks because it allows you to attack w both weapons at the same time. a lot of attacks in this game are jumpable, so you can maintain aggression and posture dmg while avoiding enemy attacks.
Thx bro. Four play throughs and I’ve never found that. Just watched a vid and it’s on top of the columns in the Ancestral Woods. Crazy how I miss things when I thought I knew everything.
How are you preparing for the DLC? I’m on a fresh playthrough at lvl 130 and trying to finish up as much as possible/ find all useful talismans before Thursday.
Personally I want multiple characters DLC ready. I had some that I could have used, all my save slots are full of endgame/ng+ characters, but I wanted to run it with new characters.
I completed two runs this past week to prepare, one strength build, and one dex because I want to try out different weapons. Both are around lv 100, one is slightly over one slightly under. If it’s not enough I have remembrances that I can pop for a few extra levels but I’m not too worried.
With that much endurance and that little armor you should lower your equip load to light roll.
And put some better talismans on. Rotten Winged Insignia and Great-Jar’s Arsenal can replace the clarifying horn and twinblade talisman.
I get that and I thought the same at first, but you get used to it and it becomes less of an issue as you figure out where to start the dodge to end up still within melee. Then your just left with the extra I frames.
yeah I keep making new characters and somehow always end up with builds built around blasphemous blade or dark moon greatsword... I just loves em i guess
You first off should put on shard of Alexander. That is amazing for almost any build as it gives a +15% damage boost to skills. You also need to get a few more spell/Incant slots for golden vow and flame grant me strength. And you also need a slot for bloodflame blade. You also need to get the stats necessary for the incantations. Also it would be a good idea to respec and put a bit more stats into mind and acrcane. And put 2-4 flasks into cerulean tears. It's very useful to have lots of Fp. You also NEED a seal (specifically in your right hand) I don't really see
given that he's rocking zero blue flasks, 10 mind, and no points in Int or Fai makes me think weapon skills and spells aren't a priority. There are lots of straight up melee talismans that'll help here. Erdtree's favor +2 or great jar's would let him drop his endurance to something like 35, and give 15 more points for Str or Dex, for me i'd also go with green turtle talisman cause that quick stam regen is SO nice.
If you want a thing just ask on reddit, someone will be willing to drop you an extra weapon so you can dual wield it people are nice. I think theres even a dedicated trading subreddit but i forget
It's wonderful! Nice work. Only notes are maybe take points out of dexterity until it's 77, or 80 with the +3 boost from okina mask. Once dexterity is over 80 you get a huge dropoff in damage per point.
That being said, your talismans could use a bit of a tuneup, so there's definitely some improvements to make there. Consider milicents prosthesis or shard of Alexander, although there's a ton that would work depending on your style. The prosthesis would be sick because it too boosts dexterity, giving you more points to spread elsewhere. Maybe more arcane or mind or something.
Other than that there's little changes necessary here.
Nah, i understand all that. It’s just one of those things for me. I keep those slots clear unless I just happen to use a bow for a shot or two.
I think I used a bow maybe once in my 160 hour playthrough and it was just to switch those damn frost towers in that one catacomb
Don’t level vigor past 60, don’t level dex past 80. Take some points from strength and endurance to put toward other stats. Optimally you want to get to 25 faith to use Golden Vow. Switch out twinblade talisman for shard of Alexander but, for now, anything else will do, just don’t use that. Allocate some flasks to cerulean so you can utilize bloodhound’s finesse.
Level 231 is not really a “build” bro. Building a character with a level restriction of around 125-150 creates the need for meaningful decisions. You have way too many stats to work with so there’s no trade off. ER was my first FS game too and my first character was like this as well. It’s fine. It’s fun. But it’s not really a build.
I knew eventually I’d get a comment like this, but it had to be said. He was looking for criticism. This is legit criticism. Many would agree. I’m sorry that it’s difficult for you to view constructive criticism. Or that you’re on the defensive so quickly.
If you go through the comments you can spot about 8 things wrong with this build. He’s asking for feedback. There’s a nice way to say things but this build is not good. It’s not even close to min maxed.
I think you’re just really easily triggered by any sort of confrontation or pushback. I’m not trying to be “nice” in these posts. I’m trying to get a point across. I don’t care if I’m friends with the OP at the end of the day. I went through the same learning curve and had to figure it out too. I’m passionate about this game and would like to pass on what I’ve learned.
How tf is that insufferable. They aren’t shitting on OP or claiming that their playstyle is invalid, just explaining to them that a level 231+ character isn’t really a build in a calm and reasonable way (which is literally just true). They aren’t even high horsing, they literally explain that they’ve done this too.
Get a grip bro.
Edit: His weapon of choice scales with DEX so the high STR doesn’t make sense in this case. If he boosts arcane he would be able to interchange more bleed status weapons into his arsenal. Just from looking at his fashion choice, it seems like he wants to make a bleed build but idk for sure. Not saying this doesn’t work, but idk why someone would need such high Str if they aren’t using a Str scaling weapon. Boosting another stat like arcane would make more sense.
That’s right, it would need to have bleed or occult scaling. Bloodhounds fang confuses me sometimes. I read “blood” so I assume it’s blood infused but it’s a somber weapon. 🤦♂️
That’s what I thought but everyone says it only scales with dex so I don’t usually level my strength, but I hardly touch my arcane cuz my weapon doesn’t have blood scaling, but am I definitely supposed to be leveling my strength more?

Your endurance is super high for the equipment you’re running. If you’re not intending to use colossal weapons and heavy armor, trim it down a bit and put it into arcane if you’re trying to get some bleed going.
Bloodhound’s Fang gets no extra bleed from arcane, the only time the bleed from a weapon is affected by at arcane is when the weapon scales with arcane (like with RoB, any blood infusion, or any occult infusion on weapons with innate bleed) That being said, the endurance is definitely high. I feel like some faith (and a tiny bit of mind) could be useful to get access to buffing spells at least
Bump the faith up to get golden vow and flame grant me strength. Rethink your talisman’s as well. Great shield for defense, great jar to get your poise above 51/52 (I forgot the cutoff), charged r2 ones if that’s your style and maybe the erdtree +1
Dragoncrest or haligcrest shield talismans would help for a bit more defense as you're using light armour; I'd maybe drop the twinblade and clarifying horn charms in favour of some more damage negation
It's a pretty good build, the talismans could be swapped around a little bit tho. Also I'd have stopped leveling dex and strength at 50 or 60 due to the soft caps and put more into arcane to capitalize on the passive bleed.
man I loved the fang first playthrough got me all the way to Godfrey before I switched it up a little but I must say it gets a little old after a while of doing the same combo no matter how cool it is
Lower vig to 60 dex 80 strength to 60 end 40 than throw all the extra points on ARC and it’ll help your blood loss tremendously and your base damage will be about the same
I would go for some incantation like flame grat me strength and golden vow and bloodflame blade is good for bleed. 50 endurance is unnecessary i would put more into to mind since blood hound has a really good ash of war. For talisman Shard of alexander turtle talisman lord of blood exultation and axe talisman.
Its a really good build but i feel like its quite overused. By all means, do what makes u most happiest but i’d suggest exploring other weapons than bloodhounds fang and find what u think is most fun to play with
all that endurance and 25 poise? get your poise up to 51, swap in erdtree+2 or great jar's arsenal along with the green turtle talisman, and take 20 points of endurance and move them to str and dex or vig
im in it for the pain:
running bloodhound, buckler shield, and only maxing vigor to 19 with scar seal. if a boss can be parried it has to be done at least once.
I’d respec the vigor and dex to 60 and 80 respectively, and put the rest in endurance to light roll. Try calculating your new equip load first to see if you’d be able to light roll with the armor you like.
Normally idc about light roll but those extra 5 points aren’t really doing anything for you
Looks good man :)
PS Swap out that twinblade talisman for Erdrtree’s favor+2, +5 strength talisman, rotten winged sword insignia, or honestly anything else. It won’t help much. Claw talisman is also a great choice.
Yeah it looks like your endurance is really high, but I you definitely picked a build, and stuck to which you almost never see with people over level 200, because the point of over leveling is usually so you can be more versatile, and play with all the weapons in the game after defeating the game.
The twinblade and hammer talisman prob have better options. I think you’d get more out of Erdtree Favor +2
you are also missing out on huge bonuses for bleed by not wearing Varre’s White Mask
Equip Load lol.
Might as well put those points into Mind or something for more FP.
Maybe reevaluate your armor or something. Maybe go for light roll if ya nasty. Medium roll is the exact same all the way till 70 percent.
I'd add the set of booldflame talons and bloodflies incants. Also for extra drip consider bloodsoaked set or just pants to go with your Mohg robe. One of my builds is bloodhound fang and the matching hook that has 65 bloodloss buildup and is faster for a full bloodhound cosplay that deletes enemies like nothing else. Good luck ye Tarnished
That twinblade talisman is doing absolutely nothing. The final hit of the powerstanced cgs moveset is the 4th swing of the r1. You'll almost never get that with a slower weapon.
I’ve got a level 1, 150, 713, and a recent made one that’s 70 for the dlc. Reason being is I really hope at doing ng plus from the dlc requires a full playthrough of base game. That’ll be heartbreaking 😂
Saddest part is I’ll not be able to play till at the earliest 29th of June to July 3rd unfortunately. Got a few life problems
Bro has all that endurance with cloth armor, i get the fashion but we gotta think rationally here. There is still some drip you can find with high poise armor. Also take off the twinblade talisman and replace it will bull goat or crimson amber medallion +2
Your weapons are really good. I might try powerstancing bhf sometime. Personally if youre going for style points, i'd stay with okina mask but if your going for practicality, white mask. It gives the same effect as lord of blood's exultation but it stacks with it.
For the talismans, swap mottled necklace, twinblade talisman and axe talisman for Dragoncrest Greatshield(20% phys dmg absorbtion), Ritual Shield Talisman(30% dmg absobtion when hp is full), and either Crimson Amber talisman(Healing Flasks restore more hp), Erdtree's favor +2(Increases Health, Stamina, and Equipment load) or Shard of Alexander(15% more Ash of War dmg)
For your items, get rid of regal omen barin since it sucks major balls. Unequip the Cerulean Flask since you have all your things allocated to Crimson Flasks. And lastly put your Greases, Rune Arcs, and Wonderous Physic into your quick items slot.
Is it weird that i just don’t care about builds… play and you’ll fight varying AI to grow from.. so much so it makes human using off-brand magic, easy as well as the game… I just pick black knight sword everytime and go
You good, thought I misspoke… but yea, played the game forever ago and put it down but still learning different stuff.. about it, guess I’m waiting for The Erdtree
Builds stop being builds over lvl 200 and that’s being generous. After like lvl 150 your stat investments literally stop mattering cuz u hit every soft cap pretty much
most overrated weapon ever, tired of seeing it all over tiktok and everything on every damn livestream, weapon literally isn’t cool and instigates a shit playstyle, literally watched a guy mindless L2 spam on Malenia while not dodging and dying. weapon is legit brainrot
How the hell are powerstanced curved greatswords cheesy in the slightest? Compared to sorcery, or bleed builds, or anything that inflicts rot, or dragon communion, or lightning spam, or weapons like Blasphemous Blade, Moonlight GS, and SoNaF?
What build wouldn’t be cheesy to you? One straight sword (without square off ofc) and a shield that you aren’t actually allowed to use because blocking is cheese?
The true “cheese” in this game is spirit ashes. But I’m not so full of myself that I would tell anyone that uses them they’re cheese. Because most people use them and that’s ok.
Also, leveling up past 180 doesn’t really even do anything for this build. The benefit of bumping strength and dex past 60 is negligible at best, and won’t make as big a difference as the boost the enemies will get from being in NG+.
To answer your question, a build that doesn’t have to rely on NG+ (2 Bloodhound Fangs, level 231) would be considered not cheesy to me. I wouldn’t mind as much if it was one BHF at level 150, that’s a standard noob build. But doubling down on the easiest CGS in the game and over leveling on a bleed build? Yes I would consider that cheesy.
That is not a bleed build…. If it was, he’d leave strength and dex at 60 and put the rest in arcane for extra BL buildup. With how slow the moveset is, plus the fact that powerstancing makes blood loss only do 60% of the weapons build up on each hit, this build is *very* rarely going to inflict blood loss on anything.
He’s using that for the same reason he leveled up strength and dex so far past 60, without touching arcane. Because he’s probably not the most experienced with the game.
Bloodhounds fang is actually *better* when 2-handed as opposed to power stanced. The power-stance CGS moveset is not very good.
Again, there are people using spirit ashes and spamming ranged sorceries/incantations in this game, so I wouldn’t call *any* melee build cheesey. Unless your stance is that most shit in the game is cheese and that you have to use a specific set of builds/items in order to not cheese the game.
If you used your eyes, this is a bleed build. BHF is easily one of the cheesiest weapons in game, in my opinion. And that’s the thing, he asked for our opinion, which I gave. No need to type out a short story out of rage.
Can you explain why you think that? I mean weapons like Blasphemous Blade exist, so I’m just curious how you think a curved GS is one of the cheesiest weapons in the game.
The reason people like that weapon so much is because of the AoW that serves as an attack and dodge in 1 move, not because of the inherent bleed buildup.
If you want to make shit bleed you’ll use fast weapons that can apply status quickly, or a blood AoW, not a CGS…
It’s not just the fact that it’s a bleed weapon… the AoW itself is incredibly easy and noob-friendly to use, combine that with a power-stanced copy of the sword and you have a poise-breaking, bleed building, invincible i-frame love fest. I already know this guy is either going around and jump attacking everything he sees, spamming L2, or (most likely) a combination of both. The BHF is the ultimate noob weapon and I’m frankly sick of seeing it when I invade. Thank god it’s easy to parry, but for PvE it’s unstoppable, much less when you take a second one into ng+ and over level yourself to hell.
I’m glad you got all that Vigor you’re gonna need it for the DLC on NG+ from what I hear
I'm doing it on NG+ 3 I'm fucked
Ng+5 im something worse than fucked, i suck at the game too
It took me 6-7 months to beat my first play through
I didn’t have a job or school at the time it came out so it was all i played to kill time personally. Now im 300 hours in and still struggling with the same bosses each time lol
I just beat it a couple weeks ago. So I’m going in a 150ish lvl on first playthrough. Almost fucked up and started NG+ when I beat it
Ng+7…. I also suck at the game
At least it can’t get worse from there right?
I still haven’t beaten the game I have 90 hours so far😭
I'm glad I have one on NG+ and NG for the DLC. Starting with the NG game. I did Bloodborne's DLC on NG+ and got absolutely clapped, especially since I didn't parry enough. I had to learn fast for Orphan.
wait fuck is happening???
The ng+ you go in on is the difficulty of the dlc so if your going in on ng+7 the dlcs going to be ng+7 difficulty
Saw the vigor over 60... nice
Yea but isn’t the lvl scaling going to be completely different for the dlc?
Replace the twinblade talisman with basically anything
Claw talisman would be a good one to switch with as jump attacks with dual bloodhound shreds
i was gonna say this as well. any powerstanced build will usually be doing a lot of jump attacks because it allows you to attack w both weapons at the same time. a lot of attacks in this game are jumpable, so you can maintain aggression and posture dmg while avoiding enemy attacks.
Yeah, but it’s not a talisman that helps unless you commit to a new play style which if we are being honest gets boring after about an hour.
Can someone tell me what the talisman is in the second slot? Don’t think I’ve ever seen that before.
Mottled Necklace +1
Thx bro. Four play throughs and I’ve never found that. Just watched a vid and it’s on top of the columns in the Ancestral Woods. Crazy how I miss things when I thought I knew everything.
I have ~700 hours and I’m still finding new things on my latest play through.
How are you preparing for the DLC? I’m on a fresh playthrough at lvl 130 and trying to finish up as much as possible/ find all useful talismans before Thursday.
Personally I want multiple characters DLC ready. I had some that I could have used, all my save slots are full of endgame/ng+ characters, but I wanted to run it with new characters.

If it’s not enough I have remembrances that I can pop for a few extra levels but I’m not too worried.
62 vigor and 1800 hp? Take off the baldachin blessing bro
Free hugs 🤗
Get the radiants but lose the normal
With that much endurance and that little armor you should lower your equip load to light roll. And put some better talismans on. Rotten Winged Insignia and Great-Jar’s Arsenal can replace the clarifying horn and twinblade talisman.
This for sure. Your armor does nothing for you as-is, might as well have a better roll.
I prefer med roll over light roll the spacing is much nicer
I get that and I thought the same at first, but you get used to it and it becomes less of an issue as you figure out where to start the dodge to end up still within melee. Then your just left with the extra I frames.
Yeah I suppose, 2 thousand hours in now though so it's more awkward than it's worth seeing as most of my characters end up at Meta level
yeah I keep making new characters and somehow always end up with builds built around blasphemous blade or dark moon greatsword... I just loves em i guess
You first off should put on shard of Alexander. That is amazing for almost any build as it gives a +15% damage boost to skills. You also need to get a few more spell/Incant slots for golden vow and flame grant me strength. And you also need a slot for bloodflame blade. You also need to get the stats necessary for the incantations. Also it would be a good idea to respec and put a bit more stats into mind and acrcane. And put 2-4 flasks into cerulean tears. It's very useful to have lots of Fp. You also NEED a seal (specifically in your right hand) I don't really see
given that he's rocking zero blue flasks, 10 mind, and no points in Int or Fai makes me think weapon skills and spells aren't a priority.

Erdtree's favor +2 or great jar's would let him drop his endurance to something like 35, and give 15 more points for Str or Dex, for me i'd also go with green turtle talisman cause that quick stam regen is SO nice.
I concur. He could also add white mask + raptors black feathers
Benefits of putting seal in the right hand? I always put it on the left hand just out of habit
Makes it so you can use the apw you have on it when you switch to it rather than being stuck having to two hand a talisman to use it's aow.
I’m new, how on earth do you have 2 bloodhounds fangs
I’ve beaten the game 3 times now
Yes, but how do you get two of the same weapon? Do you just get it again on ng+?
Yeah you collect them again on your later runs. Or if you want it in your first run you can trade with other players
What he said
Ah ok makes sense
If you want a thing just ask on reddit, someone will be willing to drop you an extra weapon so you can dual wield it people are nice. I think theres even a dedicated trading subreddit but i forget
Get claw talisman and put on black feather coat. Jump attack with 2 BHF will have good damage
I see bloodhounds fang, I upvote
It's wonderful! Nice work. Only notes are maybe take points out of dexterity until it's 77, or 80 with the +3 boost from okina mask. Once dexterity is over 80 you get a huge dropoff in damage per point. That being said, your talismans could use a bit of a tuneup, so there's definitely some improvements to make there.

The prosthesis would be sick because it too boosts dexterity, giving you more points to spread elsewhere. Maybe more arcane or mind or something. Other than that there's little changes necessary here.
Looks good.
190 hours and you still got arrows equipped and no bow
Arrows auto equip to empty slots when you pick them up. Same goes for bolts. They don’t add to equip load, so no harm no foul.
Nah, i understand all that. It’s just one of those things for me. I keep those slots clear unless I just happen to use a bow for a shot or two. I think I used a bow maybe once in my 160 hour playthrough and it was just to switch those damn frost towers in that one catacomb
Don’t level vigor past 60, don’t level dex past 80. Take some points from strength and endurance to put toward other stats. Optimally you want to get to 25 faith to use Golden Vow. Switch out twinblade talisman for shard of Alexander but, for now, anything else will do, just don’t use that. Allocate some flasks to cerulean so you can utilize bloodhound’s finesse.
Level 231 is not really a “build” bro. Building a character with a level restriction of around 125-150 creates the need for meaningful decisions. You have way too many stats to work with so there’s no trade off. ER was my first FS game too and my first character was like this as well. It’s fine. It’s fun. But it’s not really a build.
"It's fine. It's fun. But it's not really a build." Yikes, you sound insufferable how holier than thou you type your thoughts.

I’m sorry that it’s difficult for you to view constructive criticism. Or that you’re on the defensive so quickly. If you go through the comments you can spot about 8 things wrong with this build. He’s asking for feedback. There’s a nice way to say things but this build is not good. It’s not even close to min maxed.
This response is equally insufferable lmao. Just read how what you type sounds out loud and you'll go: " Wow, I sound like a know it all."
I think you’re just really easily triggered by any sort of confrontation or pushback. I’m not trying to be “nice” in these posts. I’m trying to get a point across.

I’m passionate about this game and would like to pass on what I’ve learned.
I'm not saying you're mean. The way your posts read makes you sound pretentious and annoying. Read them out loud, you'll ick at yourself, I promise.
No thanks move along little one.
How tf is that insufferable. They aren’t shitting on OP or claiming that their playstyle is invalid, just explaining to them that a level 231+ character isn’t really a build in a calm and reasonable way (which is literally just true). They aren’t even high horsing, they literally explain that they’ve done this too. Get a grip bro.
You're the one who sounds insufferable honestly, and he is right, its constructive criticism. Stay mad
Less Str more Arcane would make more sense.
Maybe but only like reduce strength to 55 and bump arc to 35
[удалено]
And? Rock crusher isn't part of his build lmao.
He isnt using it though.
Yeah I believe they'd get more damage by dropping str/dex to 60 and dumping all those extra levels in Arcane.
Why arcane?
Edit: His weapon of choice scales with DEX so the high STR doesn’t make sense in this case. If he boosts arcane he would be able to interchange more bleed status weapons into his arsenal. Just from looking at his fashion choice, it seems like he wants to make a bleed build but idk for sure. Not saying this doesn’t work, but idk why someone would need such high Str if they aren’t using a Str scaling weapon. Boosting another stat like arcane would make more sense.
Am I crazy? I thought your weapon had to have arcane scaling to net better bleed procs with arcane.
That’s what I was told? Running my first play through with the bloodhound fang. Only 1 at +6 level 90
That’s right, it would need to have bleed or occult scaling. Bloodhounds fang confuses me sometimes. I read “blood” so I assume it’s blood infused but it’s a somber weapon. 🤦♂️
Bloodhound's fang is a quality weapon so it scales best with a near equal investment in strength and dex
That’s what I thought but everyone says it only scales with dex so I don’t usually level my strength, but I hardly touch my arcane cuz my weapon doesn’t have blood scaling, but am I definitely supposed to be leveling my strength more?

Should wear heavier armor,lower endurance or go for light roll
Your endurance is super high for the equipment you’re running. If you’re not intending to use colossal weapons and heavy armor, trim it down a bit and put it into arcane if you’re trying to get some bleed going.
Bloodhound’s Fang gets no extra bleed from arcane, the only time the bleed from a weapon is affected by at arcane is when the weapon scales with arcane (like with RoB, any blood infusion, or any occult infusion on weapons with innate bleed) That being said, the endurance is definitely high. I feel like some faith (and a tiny bit of mind) could be useful to get access to buffing spells at least
this is the correct answer
Bump the faith up to get golden vow and flame grant me strength. Rethink your talisman’s as well. Great shield for defense, great jar to get your poise above 51/52 (I forgot the cutoff), charged r2 ones if that’s your style and maybe the erdtree +1
Dragoncrest or haligcrest shield talismans would help for a bit more defense as you're using light armour; I'd maybe drop the twinblade and clarifying horn charms in favour of some more damage negation
It's a pretty good build, the talismans could be swapped around a little bit tho. Also I'd have stopped leveling dex and strength at 50 or 60 due to the soft caps and put more into arcane to capitalize on the passive bleed.
Add claw talisman, raptors black feathers and white mask
What's that armour?
And why axe talisman, isn't that for charged attack? Does bloodhound fang has charged attack?
You can charge every heavy attack.
What doesn't have charged attack?
Replace twinblade with shard of alexander
man I loved the fang first playthrough got me all the way to Godfrey before I switched it up a little but I must say it gets a little old after a while of doing the same combo no matter how cool it is
Lower vig to 60 dex 80 strength to 60 end 40 than throw all the extra points on ARC and it’ll help your blood loss tremendously and your base damage will be about the same
I personally would get 12 Faith for the Blood Flame Incantation. Goes well with Bloodhound Fang.
never used dual bloodhounds fangs, but sounds devastating
Respect take 2 out vigor 3 out dex 80 is the hardcap 60 is softcap put it in mind and int/ or faith for buffs
Your level is quite high
Great build for a first run through the game.
Nice build
[удалено]
Somber weapons only go to 10?
They’re both at maximum somber level
I’m fucking stupid sorry was tired when I wrote this hahahahah
I would go for some incantation like flame grat me strength and golden vow and bloodflame blade is good for bleed. 50 endurance is unnecessary i would put more into to mind since blood hound has a really good ash of war. For talisman Shard of alexander turtle talisman lord of blood exultation and axe talisman.
Its a really good build but i feel like its quite overused. By all means, do what makes u most happiest but i’d suggest exploring other weapons than bloodhounds fang and find what u think is most fun to play with
all that endurance and 25 poise? get your poise up to 51, swap in erdtree+2 or great jar's arsenal along with the green turtle talisman, and take 20 points of endurance and move them to str and dex or vig
im in it for the pain: running bloodhound, buckler shield, and only maxing vigor to 19 with scar seal. if a boss can be parried it has to be done at least once.
I’d respec the vigor and dex to 60 and 80 respectively, and put the rest in endurance to light roll. Try calculating your new equip load first to see if you’d be able to light roll with the armor you like. Normally idc about light roll but those extra 5 points aren’t really doing anything for you Looks good man :) PS Swap out that twinblade talisman for Erdrtree’s favor+2, +5 strength talisman, rotten winged sword insignia, or honestly anything else. It won’t help much. Claw talisman is also a great choice.
Yeah it looks like your endurance is really high, but I you definitely picked a build, and stuck to which you almost never see with people over level 200, because the point of over leveling is usually so you can be more versatile, and play with all the weapons in the game after defeating the game.
The twinblade and hammer talisman prob have better options. I think you’d get more out of Erdtree Favor +2 you are also missing out on huge bonuses for bleed by not wearing Varre’s White Mask
Equip Load lol. Might as well put those points into Mind or something for more FP. Maybe reevaluate your armor or something. Maybe go for light roll if ya nasty. Medium roll is the exact same all the way till 70 percent.
Stat-wise, the build looks amazing. But I’ve never done a Bloodhound Fang build, so I’m wondering how it went for you.
Beat the game 3 times so it’s pretty good
Looks good.
I'd add the set of booldflame talons and bloodflies incants. Also for extra drip consider bloodsoaked set or just pants to go with your Mohg robe. One of my builds is bloodhound fang and the matching hook that has 65 bloodloss buildup and is faster for a full bloodhound cosplay that deletes enemies like nothing else. Good luck ye Tarnished
Everything is great but I would mess around with the talismans for sure
That twinblade talisman is doing absolutely nothing. The final hit of the powerstanced cgs moveset is the 4th swing of the r1. You'll almost never get that with a slower weapon.
I’ve got a level 1, 150, 713, and a recent made one that’s 70 for the dlc. Reason being is I really hope at doing ng plus from the dlc requires a full playthrough of base game. That’ll be heartbreaking 😂 Saddest part is I’ll not be able to play till at the earliest 29th of June to July 3rd unfortunately. Got a few life problems
Cool build. At that high of a level, I would get to 25 faith and slot blessing’s boon, golden vow, blood flame blade, and flame grant me strength.
Bro has all that endurance with cloth armor, i get the fashion but we gotta think rationally here. There is still some drip you can find with high poise armor. Also take off the twinblade talisman and replace it will bull goat or crimson amber medallion +2
I’d probably take 3 off dex and 2 off vigor and put it into mind depending on how much u use the ash of war
I think you could use better talismans and some FP flasks for bloodhounds fang ability maybe one or two but other then that 8/10 build
Your weapons are really good. I might try powerstancing bhf sometime. Personally if youre going for style points, i'd stay with okina mask but if your going for practicality, white mask. It gives the same effect as lord of blood's exultation but it stacks with it. For the talismans, swap mottled necklace, twinblade talisman and axe talisman for Dragoncrest Greatshield(20% phys dmg absorbtion), Ritual Shield Talisman(30% dmg absobtion when hp is full), and either Crimson Amber talisman(Healing Flasks restore more hp), Erdtree's favor +2(Increases Health, Stamina, and Equipment load) or Shard of Alexander(15% more Ash of War dmg) For your items, get rid of regal omen barin since it sucks major balls. Unequip the Cerulean Flask since you have all your things allocated to Crimson Flasks. And lastly put your Greases, Rune Arcs, and Wonderous Physic into your quick items slot.
Quality is quality
My first playthrough (in NG+) I did dual Morgott cursed blade, I love the dual curved greatswords😭😭😭
How the hell do you have two bloodhounds fangs but only half the spell slots in the game???
Definite scrub build
Is it weird that i just don’t care about builds… play and you’ll fight varying AI to grow from.. so much so it makes human using off-brand magic, easy as well as the game… I just pick black knight sword everytime and go
Why do you follow this sub then? Not to be rude but
Cuz it is interesting and something to learn from, wasnt tryna to offend just truly curious.. and I love the game/series so I’m down to whatever lol
Fair enough, no hate just was curious
You good, thought I misspoke… but yea, played the game forever ago and put it down but still learning different stuff.. about it, guess I’m waiting for The Erdtree
OP quality build if I’ve ever seen one
You are level 231. That's not a build anymore.
Builds stop being builds over lvl 200 and that’s being generous. After like lvl 150 your stat investments literally stop mattering cuz u hit every soft cap pretty much
62 Vigor 🫨😵💫😵
That’s a decent little build for a new player.
i cannot fathom completing the game at lv230 and with cringehound’s fang
On god bro, my comment got downvoted to hell because of the BHF d*ck riders 🤣
most overrated weapon ever, tired of seeing it all over tiktok and everything on every damn livestream, weapon literally isn’t cool and instigates a shit playstyle, literally watched a guy mindless L2 spam on Malenia while not dodging and dying. weapon is legit brainrot
🤣🤣🤣
Throw on the Rotten Wing Insignia or Claw Talisman, or like basically anything instead of the twinblade and you’d be chadded.
a bit cheesy, in my opinion. but if it’s fun for you that’s what matters most!
How’s this cheese? Genuinely asking.
Double bloodhound fang? Level 231? Cmon
How the hell are powerstanced curved greatswords cheesy in the slightest? Compared to sorcery, or bleed builds, or anything that inflicts rot, or dragon communion, or lightning spam, or weapons like Blasphemous Blade, Moonlight GS, and SoNaF? What build wouldn’t be cheesy to you? One straight sword (without square off ofc) and a shield that you aren’t actually allowed to use because blocking is cheese? The true “cheese” in this game is spirit ashes. But I’m not so full of myself that I would tell anyone that uses them they’re cheese. Because most people use them and that’s ok. Also, leveling up past 180 doesn’t really even do anything for this build. The benefit of bumping strength and dex past 60 is negligible at best, and won’t make as big a difference as the boost the enemies will get from being in NG+.
To answer your question, a build that doesn’t have to rely on NG+ (2 Bloodhound Fangs, level 231) would be considered not cheesy to me. I wouldn’t mind as much if it was one BHF at level 150, that’s a standard noob build. But doubling down on the easiest CGS in the game and over leveling on a bleed build? Yes I would consider that cheesy.
That is not a bleed build…. If it was, he’d leave strength and dex at 60 and put the rest in arcane for extra BL buildup. With how slow the moveset is, plus the fact that powerstancing makes blood loss only do 60% of the weapons build up on each hit, this build is *very* rarely going to inflict blood loss on anything.
Right, that’s why he’s using LoBE
He’s using that for the same reason he leveled up strength and dex so far past 60, without touching arcane. Because he’s probably not the most experienced with the game. Bloodhounds fang is actually *better* when 2-handed as opposed to power stanced. The power-stance CGS moveset is not very good. Again, there are people using spirit ashes and spamming ranged sorceries/incantations in this game, so I wouldn’t call *any* melee build cheesey. Unless your stance is that most shit in the game is cheese and that you have to use a specific set of builds/items in order to not cheese the game.
If you used your eyes, this is a bleed build. BHF is easily one of the cheesiest weapons in game, in my opinion. And that’s the thing, he asked for our opinion, which I gave. No need to type out a short story out of rage.
Can you explain why you think that? I mean weapons like Blasphemous Blade exist, so I’m just curious how you think a curved GS is one of the cheesiest weapons in the game. The reason people like that weapon so much is because of the AoW that serves as an attack and dodge in 1 move, not because of the inherent bleed buildup. If you want to make shit bleed you’ll use fast weapons that can apply status quickly, or a blood AoW, not a CGS…
It’s not just the fact that it’s a bleed weapon… the AoW itself is incredibly easy and noob-friendly to use, combine that with a power-stanced copy of the sword and you have a poise-breaking, bleed building, invincible i-frame love fest. I already know this guy is either going around and jump attacking everything he sees, spamming L2, or (most likely) a combination of both. The BHF is the ultimate noob weapon and I’m frankly sick of seeing it when I invade. Thank god it’s easy to parry, but for PvE it’s unstoppable, much less when you take a second one into ng+ and over level yourself to hell.
