Transcripts

from software has promised to live up to

our masochistic Expectations by making

this new DLC brutally difficult and to

make sure everybody suffers equally

they've introduced a new power leveling

system that'll even the playing field so

whether you're level 50 or 500 you will

get your ass beat when you enter shadow

of the UR Trey but if you analyze the

game's mechanics there are certain

strategies that should remain effective

regardless of the new system these are

less focused on Raw damage or attack

power and focus more on straight

technique yes sir I have handcrafted

five incredible builds specifically for

DLC uniquely curated for the unknown

Horrors we shall experience well let me

stop all the flapping and jump right

into the builds the foundation of this

build is using the ice Spear and glint

blade falling weapon Arts us using these

two together give you a deadly

combination of both Poise damage plus

Frost buildup making way for lethal

critical strikes on debuffed enemies the

ice spear is fantastic deals heavy Frost

and Magic damage at medium range and

even stronger up close if you connect

its Frosty twirlies everyone loves a

good spinny twirly Daddy watch me

twirl the Clayman Harpoon is always a

good choice when using ice spear with

cold Infinity however the cross naginata

fits this build even better its scaling

is on point it fits thematically and

it's got that Pokey Pierce damage so you

can choose between the naginata or the

Harpoon whichever you prefer now the

second half of this deadly combo is the

Rapier with glint blade fallinks these

magical Flying Swords are proficient at

dealing massive [ __ ] slapping Chek

clapping Poise

damage I mean have you ever ever seen a

giant sniper Lobster get stance broken

before I haven't look at him I'm dead he

didn't even know it was possible to do

this the job of this little pin head is

to break stance and execute on that with

heavy critical strikes it has an

extraordinarily High critical boost at

130 so once you get the enemy beat down

you can put him out of his misery right

with high damage

executions so as you can see magic type

damage is the majority of what we deal

in here so be sure to drink the

blueberry flavored crack tiar to get

them magical juices flowing but that's

not all folks you see in PVE you want to

wield a carry and Knight shield these

spear thrusting type weapons pair very

well with a shield but then I have an

extra addition to spice things up for

PVP you see in PvP you can wield a cold

Lance in our left hand doing this for a

couple reasons number one for whatever

reason we building the Lance in your

left hand specifically grants you near

unlimited hyper armor perfect for

trading pokes number two Loretta slash

turns the Lance into a freaking

lightsaber boy and whipping this weapon

skill out in the middle of a fight is a

great switch up to your fighting style

supporting my channel which I greatly

appreciate whether you're maiden lless

or Chad tastic you should be buying your

video games here at instant

gaming so we got two different versions

The PVE version with a carry and Knight

shield then the dagger Talisman for

critical strikes and the magic scorpion

charm for PVP we got the Lance and left

hand then the spirit Talisman and the

green turtle turtle then we got carry

INF filigre Crest then of course the

obligatory Shard of Alexander the

spellblade armor set will boost all

three of our magic type weapon Arts so

we definitely want two or three pieces

of spellblade ice spear weapon scales

with your dexterity and intelligence

level but mainly dexterity so we want a

good balance of these stats leaning a

bit further into

dexterity this setup offers powerful

critical strikes procing Frost and

breaking stance but this next build uses

a different approach which is Simply

Having a super versatile adaptable build

that is equipped and ready to slay

anything it comes across optimized

correctly this build can offer us access

to every single damage type in the game

fire damage holy damage magic all of

that so my first weapon is the sword of

night and Flame this is a legendary

Armament that in the past was above

legendary it was Godly level of cheese

Unfortunately they nerfed it into the

ground it's still quite strong but

compared to what it once was nuh man not

even close but yeah it is still powerful

and certainly viable my other weapon is

the coded sword the purest weapon in the

game 100% holy damage and 100% Faith

scaling so we got this super quick

straight sword power stance Infamous for

using consecutive attack Buffs like the

winged Insignia because of how fast you

strike now here's where it gets really

juicy this offers us the rare

opportunity of actually using the use

Golden order incantations so here are my

spells these three rings of light spells

are really the only golden order incants

that are actually worth using in my

opinion but especially discus of light

it's quick low cost you can spam it with

Chain Casting then of course the most

badass spell in the entire game the

Black Blade it looks sick it's powerful

it's strategic because you want to use

it at the start of a fight to cut off

the top of the enemy's health bar yeah I

also recommend having at least one or

two lightning incantations because now

now we are fully stocked with all four

damage types we have become God we do

have the opportunity to cast cold spells

that proc Frost such as explosive ghost

flame and giant icy blast particularly

effective in boss fights or you could

just straight up use chilling Mist to

apply Frost now you would definitely

want to use Golden vow as this will buff

you across the board boost all your

damage types wearing the Absurd great

Hood considering this is like the only

setup that actually makes sense to wear

this Beast of a helmet milliston

prosthesis to buff consecutive hits from

the straight sword power stance ritual

sword Talisman flocks canvas and Shard

of Alexander you want the stats to be

quite diverse we want enough

intelligence but we are leaning a bit

more into Faith having such a balanced

variety of stats is perfect for DLC

because with all the new weapons and

spells the first thing you want to do is

try them all out so a balanced and

diverse build such as this will allow

you to experiment with all the new

weapons that you find using my favorite

weapon of all time the venomous Fang

this offers you your deadly poison now

deadly poison is like the black plague

while regular poison is just like the

common cold I mean we talking big daddy

level disease here Keen Affinity

venomous Fang with horror Frost stomp

weapon art for extra Frosty Powers you

see hor Frost is a skill that allows you

to easily proc Frost even without any

other forms of frost buildup without any

cold Affinity no other cold attacks n

solely hor Frost Stomp and then we

enhance our Venom fangs with blood flame

little Blaze and Dragons ain't nothing

spicier than blood flame fangs so now we

got deadly poison Frost and blood loss

now of course this build does not end

there on its own that blood flame is not

totally sufficient for reliably proing

bleed so we bring in the heavy duty big

guns I'm also wielding a more God's

curved sword this very handsome

attractive weapon fits like a glove on

this build for several reasons number

one it gives us a form of poise damage

the AOE explosions on this weapon skill

are great for staggering enemies number

two this weapon skill has great movement

in PVP a swift burst charging forwards

with a follow-up slice which is great

for catching booty and plus morot curved

sword scales mainly with dexterity and a

bit of Arcane so yeah this synergizes

like a charm now if you do dive into PVP

I highly recommend getting rid of the

hor Frost stop and instead do the blood

infusion with the Beast Roar yes sir

Beast Roar is a great weapon skill for

PVP using the dragon communion seal

which boosts status buildup on status

effect incantations such as frenzy flame

spells and frenzy attacks are especially

effective in PvP got flame of frenzy

specifically is probably the best frenzy

spell for PVP now listen I personally

know what frenzy Madness feels like and

I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemies

take a look at this bald wrinkly Guy

drinking orange juice and but hey if a

friendly Invader suddenly turns into a

Down pointing Menace to Society oh it's

[ __ ] on it's on that level of

disrespect calls for No Mercy frenzy

that [ __ ] to death these are all the

spells that I'm

using dude I'm not going to lie this

drip got it going the banished Knight

Helm fits beautifully with the champion

pauldron and how it you know covers up

the right shoulder which is usually

uncovered yeah I don't know it's dope

bro it's dope we got both Lord of blood

and Kindred of Roth exaltation so if you

can proc both status effects you got a

ginormous buff then Shard of Alexander

and er tree favor for stats you focus on

dexterity then throw the rest into

Arcane and

vigor here we have the ogre Samurai you

see as a young swordsman he had a bright

future on his way to mastering the

katana however something truly horrible

happened he fell into oh God I can't I

can't even say it he fell into a tick

tock rabbit hole no focused around

cannibalism hey yo what the hundreds of

videos describing the immense benefits

of cannibalizing your fellow human he

said yes yes this is the way screw

training all day I can just go eat

people to become stronger and so his

path of consumption had begun devouring

any poor souls that crossed his path

wielding a heavy Omen Cleaver and a

heavy iron Cleaver you see this build is

all about powerful heavy strikes using

Cleavers for dismembering foes in the

same way he dismembered then consumed

his family and

friends now both of these Cleaver

weapons have unique charged heavy

attacks which we will capitalize on the

omen Cleavers got that butchering knife

style heavy it's faster than normal

heavy attacks and grants you solid hyper

armor but the iron Cleaver is even

juicier like a straight Savage you run

forward and perform a Detroit smash

clapped this ogre so hard he forgot how

ugly he was for a

second Lion's Claw on the omen Cleaver

because it is simply the best Ash of war

in the game it is absolutely broken in

both PVE and PVP sit your ass down boy a

little Pro tip for the iron Cleaver is

using blood hound step you see it's

actually amazing for this because you

can scoot scoot around and then

immediately follow up the dash with the

iron Cleavers charged heavy you got to

try it bro you got to try it feels

awesome now this Stone Barb tier can

help break stance even more effectively

but it only lasts for 30 seconds so I

mostly recommend it for boss fights my

other juice box is the spike crack tier

to boost our charged Heavies using claw

Mark seal to cast Black flame and

Electrify Armament got rock throat in

the first position so I can quickly swap

to it because it's pretty much one of

the main spells we'll be using for

attack you got all this magic mumbo

jumbo but one of the best incantations

is literally just throwing a rock and

then both Beast claw spells and of

course no savage build is ever complete

without these Crucible Knight spells

like the Frog breath spectacular for

slapping around Weenie Hut Juniors like

melenia

Electrify Armament for longlasting extra

damage but we also have the black flame

enhancement and even though its active

duration is shorter than Joe Biden's

attention span um uh in with uh with uh

I don't know it is extremely potent

during the few seconds it is active I

mean Lion's Claw is already slaper rfic

but after the additional black flame

it's just

diabolical now instead of the omen

Cleaver an alternate main weapon to use

is the great Omen killer Cleaver it

weighs less Superior strength scaling

innate blood losss and got that heinous

ogre likee appearance that is famous for

so either Cleaver can work axe Talisman

because both weapons have unique charged

Heavies Green Turtle Dragon Crest and

bull goats our main priority for stats

is strength and then throw the rest into

Faith Vigor and mind now I got to give a

big shout out this ogre Samurai build

was created by the Discord Calvary boys

this jabroni Ash created the foundation

and then big man dinkle dick molded and

forged it into its marvelous final form

that we see today good work

fellas the iron strikes this build would

be a dragon level disaster threat in one

punch man so the first half of this

build is the good old bloody Scythe

using spinning strikes every time I use

this I'm like oh my God that is freaking

broken you plow right through boss

fights like you're slicing through

butter but I added a little something

something extra to make this even more

spicy which is consuming this before a

fight the iron jar aeromatic I haven't

seen many people use this combination

together I mean have you comment if

you've seen this before but I don't

think I have and it is a match made in

heaven

[Music]

Mission failed we'll get the other half

of this build is dual wielding bloody

katanas with the storm blade Ash of War

on the main hand nagba this provides you

with arranged attacks so the strategy

here is to use katanas with storm blade

for roaming the world having fun

exploring you know taking out little

scrubber dubbers using that amazing dual

katana move set but then when it's time

to say okay oh I've had enough [ __ ] this

guy he's [ __ ] going down kill him

that's when you whip out the iron

spinning scythe and go to

town of course we want Lord of blood

exaltation Dragon Crest Great Shield so

we can eat through damage then I got

great jar Arsenal for stats this build

is optimized for maximum damage and now

it is your turn please leave a comment

below telling us what build you will be

entering the DLC with and drop a fat

like if you made it this far in the

video but before you go check out these

videos on screen right here if you'd
