The way this Build works is that you'll choose one of the weapons listed above because they come with Bleed on them natively, they call be buffed with Bloodflame Blade, and they can use the Ashes of War listed above. You have a few options here, depending on what you want to go for. For more information, please see our With 25 END, you should be good to have all the equipment and still medium roll. Then use FGMS and viper bite once or twice. Bestial Vitality is there for a small heal over time to restore health to reactive Ritual Sword Talisman when you reach full HP, increasing your damage by 10% once again.

Spam Carian Slicer to melt bosses and tough enemies and use Carian Greatsword when mounted or when getting too close to some enemies is risky. Finally, while its tricky to pull of just right, Black Flame Ritual to the Destined Death Skill is VERY good, lowering an enemies total HP while getting the double chip off, if it doesnt kill them first.

Protection of the Erdtree can be used before bosses that deal fire, magic, holy or lightning damage that's hard to dodge. You could swap this for Great Glintstone Shard if you want.
