By bringing versatility to the table, this build prepares you for every situation in the game.
Even though these are extremely strong builds, playing them might seem like a daunting endeavour for new players.
But, what actually characterizes it is the stat distribution.
For this build,StrengthandDexterityare the most important stats and you want to raise them equally.
You wont one-shot bosses, so a little bit of practice is required.
You definitely want a good set of armour with decent Poise.
In case youd like to buff your character with a few basic Incantations, theConfessoris a solid option too.
One of the best weapons for this build is theBloodhounds Fang.
This curved greatsword requires18 Strengthand17 Dexterityand scales with these two stats.

As a spear, the Cross-Naginata allows you to keep some distance from enemies between attacks.
The requirements to use it are16 Strengthand20 Dexterity, and it also causes Bleed buildup.
As you progress in the game and reach places such asAltus Plateau, more options become available to you.
All this while it also inflicts Bleed buildup.
This is a powerhouse for midgame that requires22 Strengthand12 Dexterityand a great tool to stagger enemies.
you might find two copies of this weapon in the game.
The first is by defeatingMagnus the Beast Claw, anoptional bosswho you find at Writheblood Ruins in Altus Plateau.

At the beginning of the game, you might spend half an hour to get theRoyal Remains set.
By defeating her, you find her set near Gideon Ofnirs room.
This is a great set with decent damage resistance and a great passive that heals you when low health.
This is a great set for this build since it is not too heavy but offers good defence.
In theFort Faroth, a castle you find northeast ofSellia, Town of Sorceryin Caelid, you findRadagons Soreseal.
There are a couple of reasons why this talisman works well for this build.
Secondly, you reach Fort Faroth pretty early in the game byusing a teleportbehind theThird Church of Marika.
Because of this talisman, you could speed up the build in some levels and get stronger fairly quickly.
With the Radagons Soreseal talisman in hand, you gotta go look for theStarscourge Heirloomtalisman.
To get this item, you gotta visitForte Gael, located northwest of the Cathedral of Dragon Communion.
Within the building, you find this talisman in a chest in the upper section.
You want to have the Starscourge Heirloom because it raises your Strength.
Now, while youre still in Caelid, you should look forGowry and complete the sidequesthe gives you.
By doing so, youre rewarded with theProsthesis-Wearer Heirloom, which has a similar effect to the Starscourge Heirloom.
However, instead of raising your Strength, this talisman gives you some points of Dexterity.
All these three talismans arent the best ones in the game.
