00:00:00
what if I told you that strength not
00:00:03
dexterity is the best stat for a bleed
00:00:05
build
00:00:06
that the godskin peeler is not the
00:00:08
highest damage Twin Blade and that the
00:00:10
Scavengers and bandits curved swords are
00:00:12
not the highest damage curved swords
00:00:15
nice drinks
00:00:18
beer fits
00:00:41
thank you
00:00:48
what's up guys welcome back to Titus

00:00:59
now in terms of stat optimization hero
00:01:02
is actually the best class to start for
00:01:04
this build but you can still feel free
00:01:05
to play the classic Samurai if you want
00:01:07
to while the build is stat optimized for
00:01:09
level 150 we're also going to cover
00:01:11
where you should go up to 200 in New
00:01:13
Game Plus now I want to really quickly
00:01:15
go over the stats that are important for
00:01:16
this build 50 figures should be more
00:01:18
than enough it's right between the soft
00:01:20
Kappa 40 and the hard cap of 60. now
00:01:22
since our bleed Affinity weapons are
00:01:23
going to scale directly off of strength
00:01:25
we're going to start at 62 strength and
00:01:27
then immediately prioritize trying to
00:01:29
get to the hard cap of 80 strength as
00:01:30
soon as we can be on level 150. now we
00:01:33
pushed Arcane to 45 because that's the
00:01:34
major soft cap for blood loss build up
00:01:36
now pushing this build to level 200 you
00:01:38
are going to take Arcane to 80 after
00:01:40
strength to take advantage of the occult
00:01:42
scaling but we'll get more into that in
00:01:43
a minute now dexterity we only push to
00:01:45
18 to hit our requirements for our
00:01:46
weapons and 30 endurance is a really
00:01:48
good sweet spot in terms of being able
00:01:50
to have enough stamina and wear enough
00:01:51
armor to get the Poise we need now if
00:01:53
you're unfamiliar with poison Elden ring
00:01:55
all you really need to know is that it's
00:01:56
the mechanic that prevents you from
00:01:58
being staggered and interrupting your
00:01:59
attack the important breakpoint in PVE
00:02:01
is 51 Poise that will allow you to
00:02:03
finish your attack without being
00:02:04
interrupted most of the time so why
00:02:06
bleed why not a cult or heavy it's
00:02:09
because bleed can increase your DPS by a
00:02:12
ton because every time that you proc a
00:02:14
bleed you take 10 of a boss's total HP
00:02:17
plus an additional one or two hundred
00:02:19
damage depending on the weapon let's
00:02:20
look at a really high HP boss to
00:02:22
Showcase what I mean when we average out
00:02:24
the blood loss across the damage per hit
00:02:26
we actually see the bleed Affinity doing
00:02:28
almost five times the amount of damage
00:02:30
per hit as the occult Affinity even
00:02:32
crazier is that a non-upgraded bleed
00:02:34
Affinity curved sword is doing four
00:02:36
times the damage of a maxed out occult
00:02:39
Affinity curved sword okay so let's Dive
00:02:41
Right into weapons because I know you
00:02:42
guys are really excited about that after
00:02:45
doing a lot of research it turns out
00:02:46
that the God's compiler is not the
00:02:48
strongest twin blade in the game the
00:02:49
strongest twin blade in the game is
00:02:51
actually the Gargoyles Twin Blade this
00:02:53
weapon is a reward at the end of the
00:02:54
Valiant gargoyle's boss fight in sial
00:02:56
for river which means you won't have
00:02:58
access to a second one until new game
00:02:59
plus but I do have a very good
00:03:02
substitute weapon that you can use
00:03:03
during your first playthrough in your
00:03:04
offhand and we'll cover that weapon in
00:03:06
just a minute as you can see in the
00:03:08
gameplay of some of the boss fights
00:03:09
going on behind me the Gargoyles twin
00:03:11
blades do a ton of damage now keep in
00:03:13
mind that most of these boss One-Shot
00:03:15
Clips I'm using quite a few Buffs at the
00:03:17
very end of the video I'm going to show
00:03:19
the full Millennia one shot and that'll
00:03:21
include the entire buff routine I'm also
00:03:24
going to cover a very simple buff
00:03:25
routine since most of you don't want to
00:03:27
do an extended buff routine every fight
00:03:28
but for now let's get back to what makes
00:03:30
the Gargoyles twin blades the best twin
00:03:32
blade in the game so looking at the
00:03:34
numbers of an identical dexterity build
00:03:35
with 62 decks and 45 Arcane we see right
00:03:38
away that there's better stat scaling
00:03:40
for strength on a gargoyle's twin blade
00:03:42
than there is for decks on a godskin
00:03:44
peeler otherwise these weapons are
00:03:46
almost identical in almost every way
00:03:48
including blood loss build up and weight
00:03:49
but this just leads to flat out more
00:03:52
damage on a gargoyle's twin blade even
00:03:54
if we push strength decks and Arcane to
00:03:56
the hard caps of 80 we still see the
00:03:58
same thing the Gargoyles twin blade is
00:04:00
still more damage than the godskin
00:04:01
peeler now looking back at these weapons
00:04:03
on the stats for the first playthrough
00:04:04
we could see that the twin knight swords
00:04:07
deal almost the same damage as a godskin
00:04:08
peeler would on a dexterity build and
00:04:11
that's why I highly recommend that as
00:04:12
your offhand weapon for your first
00:04:13
playthrough a great thing about that
00:04:15
weapon is it's just ground loot you
00:04:16
could pick it up on the North side of
00:04:18
Altus Plateau at any point in the game
00:04:19
so if you're looking to shed a little
00:04:21
bit of weight but you still want the
00:04:22
same jumping power stance for hit attack
00:04:24
You're Gonna Want the beastman's curved
00:04:26
swords this is the best curved sword in
00:04:28
the game for a bleed build these weapons
00:04:31
are farmed off the Azula beastman and
00:04:32
crumbling Farm Missoula there's been a
00:04:34
lot of popularity with curved swords and
00:04:36
bleed builds specifically the bandits
00:04:38
curve swords and the Scavengers curved
00:04:40
swords the beastman curve sword is just
00:04:42
flat out better than both curved swords
00:04:44
are a really cool option to apply blood
00:04:46
loss build up because the jumping power
00:04:48
stance attack hits four times like a
00:04:50
twin blade but they're faster and weigh
00:04:53
a lot less than a twin blade now the
00:04:54
main reason for the damage being better
00:04:56
is once again the beastman's curve sword
00:04:58
just scale better off string than the
00:05:00
bandits and scavengers curved sword
00:05:02
scale off of dexterity one of the cooler
00:05:04
aspects of this build is that the stats
00:05:06
are set perfectly to take advantage of
00:05:08
the scaling on the Mary's executioner
00:05:10
sword which is one of my favorite
00:05:11
weapons in the entire game when upgraded
00:05:13
this weapon scales well with Arcane and
00:05:15
extremely well with strength the skill
00:05:17
on the weapon is called air kid's
00:05:18
dancing blade and as you can see a
00:05:21
single use of the skill will hit an
00:05:22
enemy 12 times making it an awesome
00:05:24
weapon for one shots you can pick this
00:05:27
weapon up as a reward from defeating
00:05:28
Elmer the Briar in the Shaded Castle so
00:05:30
that means you have access to getting
00:05:31
this weapon as early as you get to the
00:05:33
Altus Plateau the big downside to a
00:05:35
traditional dexterity Arcane bleed build
00:05:37
was that you lack the strength to really
00:05:39
take advantage of the primary stat
00:05:41
scaling on this weapon because it's
00:05:42
really one of the strongest weapons in
00:05:44
the game and what's even crazier is that
00:05:46
I would consider this the second
00:05:47
strongest weapon in the game and the
00:05:49
strongest weapon in the game actually
00:05:51
scales even better with a strength
00:05:54
Arcane build than this one meaning that
00:05:56
going strength Arcane rather than Dex
00:05:58
Arcane unlocks the two most powerful
00:06:00
weapons in the game for you now a common
00:06:03
misconception among strength build users
00:06:04
is that a heavy giant Crusher is the
00:06:06
highest AR weapon in the game and that's
00:06:09
just simply not true the heavy giant
00:06:11
Crusher has Incredible strength scaling
00:06:13
and gets incredible damage but the
00:06:16
single highest AR weapon in the game is
00:06:18
actually an occult giant Crusher so with
00:06:21
only 62 strength and 45 Arcane a
00:06:24
two-handed occult giant Crusher does 925
00:06:27
damage with no Buffs if you push this
00:06:29
build up to level 200 with 80 strength
00:06:32
and 80 Arcane two handing and a cult
00:06:34
giant Crusher will have a raw base
00:06:36
damage of 1069 so with an incredible
00:06:39
Arsenal at our disposal let's take a
00:06:41
look at what kind of skills we want to
00:06:42
be using on these weapons if you've got
00:06:44
any history with bleed builds in Elden
00:06:46
ring then you know that the best skill
00:06:48
that we can use on a bleed build is
00:06:49
seppuku even post nerve seppuku is
00:06:52
amazing sapuku adds 30 flat physical
00:06:54
attack power to your weapon as well as
00:06:56
30 base bleed buildup that scales with
00:06:58
your Arcane sapuku's drop by an
00:07:00
invisible Scarab on the frozen lake in
00:07:02
mountaintops of the Giants and you can
00:07:04
actually use it on both weapons if you
00:07:05
two-hand your left weapon and apply it
00:07:07
there first the first skill we grab in
00:07:09
all of our bleed starter guides is
00:07:11
bloody slash this skill is dropped by
00:07:13
the knight in Fort height guarding The
00:07:14
dectus Medallion the damage of bloody
00:07:16
slash scales directly with the upgrade
00:07:18
level of your weapon so I think a lot of
00:07:21
people Overlook the damage potential
00:07:22
because they get the skill so early when
00:07:24
they don't have an upgraded weapon and
00:07:26
they don't think to go back and try it
00:07:27
again later after upgrading for those of
00:07:29
you that have seen my one shot challenge
00:07:30
runs you guys are no stranger to Royal
00:07:33
Knights resolve
00:07:34
found on a corpse in the volcano Manor
00:07:36
Royal Knights resolve Buffs the damage
00:07:38
of the next Landing swing by 80 percent
00:07:41
if you want a One-Shot later game bosses
00:07:44
you're gonna find yourself using Royal
00:07:45
Knights resolve a lot of the time
00:07:47
piercing Fang is acquired on the Naga
00:07:49
Kiba as part of yura's questline it has
00:07:51
some One-Shot potential and it's just a
00:07:53
really cool aesthetically pleasing skill
00:07:55
to use on your twin blades it's
00:07:56
obviously an optional skill for this
00:07:58
build but if you want to try it out I
00:08:00
definitely recommend it
00:08:01
now on four kill you can pick up an ash
00:08:03
of War called Lion's claw maybe I just
00:08:05
love it because it reminds me of
00:08:07
Artorias but this is a pretty
00:08:08
aesthetically pleasing skill as well let
00:08:10
us know in the comments below what are
00:08:11
some of your favorite skills that maybe
00:08:13
weren't mentioned here that you think
00:08:14
would fit this build well or let us know
00:08:16
of another weapon you think might scale
00:08:17
well now when it comes to armor there's
00:08:19
only three things that matter the Poise
00:08:22
the defense and the Aesthetics on any
00:08:25
bleed build there's only ever one option
00:08:27
for a helmet and that's the white mask
00:08:29
the white mask raises all attack power
00:08:31
by 10 for 20 seconds every time there's
00:08:34
blood loss in the vicinity of your
00:08:36
character for a bleed build that equates
00:08:38
to basically a 10 permanent damage buff
00:08:40
especially since it's activated by using
00:08:43
supuku on yourself as well Blade's armor
00:08:45
gives us 28 Poise looks great and has
00:08:48
incredible Poise to weight ratio blades
00:08:51
gauntlets give us six Poise match
00:08:53
perfectly and also have a great Poise to
00:08:55
weight ratio and the final piece to our
00:08:57
set the knights Cavalry Greaves bring us
00:08:59
in 15 Poise pushing us past the 51 point
00:09:01
break point looking aesthetic and
00:09:04
keeping us in the medium roll even with
00:09:06
twin blades now here's a second setup
00:09:07
for those really trying to min max their
00:09:09
damage as we discussed already the white
00:09:11
mask is mandatory for any bleed build
00:09:13
and gives us our first five Poise for
00:09:15
your armor You're Gonna Want to Go
00:09:16
Raptors black feathers which increases
00:09:18
your jump attack damage by 10 percent if
00:09:21
you really want to maximize damage with
00:09:22
the twin blades and curved swords then
00:09:23
you want to run this setup and almost
00:09:25
exclusively jump attack You're Gonna
00:09:27
Want the Elden Lord bracers for four
00:09:29
Poise and a great Poise to weight ratio
00:09:30
and we really have to make up some
00:09:32
ground with the 28 Poise on the bolgoat
00:09:34
Greaves in order to hit the 51 Poise
00:09:36
breakpoint so that our attacks aren't
00:09:38
getting interrupted all the time now
00:09:40
obviously you can feel free to switch
00:09:41
some of those around and get your
00:09:42
fashion souls in but I do highly
00:09:44
recommend the white mask and the
00:09:45
Raptor's black feathers and try to hit
00:09:47
the 51 points breakpoint if you can
00:09:49
talismans are a great way to stack a ton
00:09:51
of extra damage or defense and the best
00:09:53
setup is going to depend on the weapon
00:09:54
you're running so let's first look at
00:09:56
the power stance of twin blades or
00:09:57
curved swords Lord of blood's exultation
00:09:59
is the talismans what the white mask is
00:10:01
to armor it just provides even more
00:10:04
damage this Talisman raises your attack
00:10:05
power by 20 for 20 seconds every time
00:10:09
there's blood loss the claw Talisman
00:10:11
Stacks with the Raptors black feathers
00:10:13
and it increases jump attack damage by
00:10:15
15 percent this is a great option for
00:10:17
curved swords and twin blades which hit
00:10:19
four times with the jumping L1 the
00:10:21
run-wing sword Insignia is another great
00:10:23
option for this setup because it raises
00:10:25
attack power with successive attacks by
00:10:27
6 8 and then 13 and you'll be doing a
00:10:31
lot of successive attacks now before you
00:10:33
get to New Game Plus I highly recommend
00:10:35
your last Talisman sloppy the dragon
00:10:36
Crest Great Shield Talisman which flat
00:10:39
out reduces all incoming physical damage
00:10:42
by 20 that's the equivalent of having 20
00:10:44
more HP now if you're a new game plus
00:10:46
and you want to maximize the damage of
00:10:48
your twin blade or curved sword build
00:10:50
you want to run Millicent's prosthesis
00:10:51
in your last Talisman slot this raises
00:10:53
attack power's successive attacks by
00:10:55
four six and eleven percent but you'll
00:10:57
need to be a new game plus to get both
00:10:59
this and the rotten Wing sword Insignia
00:11:00
now if you want to maximize the damage
00:11:02
of your air kid's dancing blade you're
00:11:03
gonna swap your first Talisman out with
00:11:05
The Shard of Alexander this Talisman
00:11:07
boosts the attack power of all skills by
00:11:09
15 percent you you get this Upon
00:11:11
finishing Alexander's questline if you
00:11:13
go and kill Godfrey in the ever jail in
00:11:14
the Altus Plateau you're gonna get the
00:11:16
Godfrey icon this raises the attack
00:11:18
power of charge spells and skills by 15
00:11:20
and then we want to keep our successive
00:11:22
attack talismans because of how many
00:11:24
times the AO kid's dancing blade hits
00:11:26
now when you're running the giant
00:11:27
Crusher the only Talisman that matters
00:11:29
is the ax Talisman which increases
00:11:31
charged attack damage by 10 percent this
00:11:33
Talisman has nothing to do with skills
00:11:35
this is just applied to the charged R2
00:11:37
attack of the giant Crusher itself so if
00:11:39
you're trying to boost the damage of a
00:11:40
skill of something like let's say bloody
00:11:42
slash you just want to use The Shard of
00:11:43
Alexander instead
00:11:47
these are the Buffs that I recommend for
00:11:48
those of you that want something quick
00:11:50
and not a long extravagant buff routine
00:11:52
we'll start off with our flask the
00:11:54
strength not tears available early and
00:11:55
it gives us a big damage boost via stat
00:11:57
scaling on our weapons and puts us 10
00:11:59
strength closer to the hard cap the
00:12:01
thorny crack tier increases consecutive
00:12:02
attack damage by 9 13 and 20 and swap
00:12:06
out the spike cracked here for the giant
00:12:07
Crusher for 15 more damage on charged
00:12:10
attacks the blowball aromatic takes one
00:12:12
second to use and gives you 30 more
00:12:14
damage for 60 seconds the rallying
00:12:16
standard also takes very little time and
00:12:17
provides a 20 damage buff for 30 seconds
00:12:20
and then of course we want to use
00:12:21
seppuku for the 30 flat physical damage
00:12:23
the blood loss build up and triggering
00:12:25
the 10 buff from the white mask and the
00:12:27
20 buff from The Lord of Bloods
00:12:29
exaltation these bustles Skyrocket your
00:12:31
damage and I'll show you in real time
00:12:33
now just how quick they are to apply
00:12:36
foreign
00:12:56
now as you can see with just those four
00:12:58
quick Buffs you can make extremely fast
00:13:00
work of any boss I also wanted to
00:13:02
Showcase that you can still do
00:13:03
additional damage to a boss while
00:13:04
they're in the dying animation as well
00:13:06
as the power of sleep pots to turn the
00:13:08
tide in your favor and some of the
00:13:09
harder boss fights speaking of sleep
00:13:11
pots it's going to be the first
00:13:12
consumable that I would recommend for
00:13:14
this build the Sleep build up per tick
00:13:16
on a sleep pot actually scales with
00:13:18
Arcane so they're awesome for this build
00:13:19
and sleep pots allow for some really
00:13:22
cool boss kills cookery provide a nice
00:13:24
ranged option they cause blood loss
00:13:26
build up that Stacks with your weapons
00:13:27
they can be bought rather than farmed as
00:13:29
well which is nice if you want another
00:13:31
cool way to switch things up and cause
00:13:32
blood loss the Swarm pod is pretty cool
00:13:34
it does a decent amount of damage and
00:13:36
causes blood loss and both the damage
00:13:38
and blood loss build up scale off of
00:13:40
arcane
00:13:42
all right for those of you that want to
00:13:44
push it as far as you can and recreate
00:13:46
the Millennia one shot you're going to
00:13:48
start off drinking your flask with your
00:13:49
strength not tearing your thorny cracked
00:13:51
tear then you're going to start building
00:13:52
up your frenzy you can also use a frenzy
00:13:54
flame Stone which doesn't require any
00:13:56
stats to use this is in preparation for
00:13:58
your black dumpling Helm once you've
00:14:00
built up a good amount of frenzy you're
00:14:01
going to go ahead and use your blood
00:14:03
boil aromatic and then you're going to
00:14:05
use your flask to refill your FP then
00:14:07
you want to finish building up your
00:14:08
Madness the rest of the way to proc your
00:14:10
black dumpling Helm and then as soon as
00:14:12
you finish the madness animation you're
00:14:13
going to want to switch to your white
00:14:14
mask then you're going to refill your FB
00:14:16
again and use the golden bow Ash of War
00:14:18
we're using this in place of the
00:14:20
commander standard for this fight
00:14:21
because it lasts a lot longer at this
00:14:23
point you're going to refill your FP and
00:14:25
use a rope fitted pot to start building
00:14:26
up some poison then you're going to use
00:14:28
seppuku to proc the damage buff from the
00:14:30
white mask in The Lord of Bloods
00:14:31
exaltation and then while you're
00:14:33
transitioning through the fall gate
00:14:34
you're going to switch to the Mushroom
00:14:35
Crown and the Kindred of raw Tech
00:14:37
saltation then quickly use a rope fitted
00:14:39
pot to proc your Kindred of rot's
00:14:41
exultation and Mushroom Crown and switch
00:14:42
switch to your Millicent's prosthesis
00:14:54
now you want to quickly re-equip the
00:14:56
Mushroom Crown and the Kindred of rot's
00:14:58
exaltation and self-poison again with
00:15:00
Rogue vetted Bots and then use a
00:15:01
neutralizing bolus and switch back to
00:15:03
Millicent's prosthesis
00:15:11
okay so now I want to showcase the level
00:15:13
200 build and how we go about
00:15:15
one-shunning stuff with the twin blades
00:15:17
and curved swords like we discussed
00:15:19
earlier the major changes at level 200
00:15:21
is just getting strength and Arcane to
00:15:23
level 80 strength being the priority now
00:15:25
to start things off here we're going to
00:15:26
start building up our frenzy and drink
00:15:28
our flask now I also want to note that
00:15:30
the only time you're going to be using a
00:15:31
coat like we are here is when enemies
00:15:33
are immune to bleed or when you're
00:15:34
trying to one shot things in your level
00:15:36
200 with 80 Arcane bleed is better in
00:15:39
every other scenario for the reasons
00:15:40
that we discussed earlier even in one
00:15:42
shot scenarios because you get an extra
00:15:44
10 damage on the boss now right before
00:15:46
the madness bar fills you're going to
00:15:47
use blood boil aromatic so that that and
00:15:49
black dumpling Helm both proc at the
00:15:51
same time because they're both 60 second
00:15:53
Buffs then you're going to want to
00:15:55
refill your FP switch to the white mask
00:15:57
and use your commander standard
00:16:03
then you're going to refill your FP
00:16:04
again and build up some poison with a
00:16:06
rope fitted bot use the pooku to proc
00:16:09
your white mask and Lord of Bloods
00:16:10
exaltation then remove your standard and
00:16:12
sapuka weapon switch to the Mushroom
00:16:14
Crown and the Kindred of Rod's
00:16:15
exhaltation and poison yourself with a
00:16:17
rope fitted pot and then switch to your
00:16:18
Millicent's prosthesis at this point you
00:16:21
have all your Buffs so just put royal
00:16:22
Knight resolve on both weapons and send
00:16:24
it
00:16:29
[Music]
00:16:33
don't forget to use your neutralizing
00:16:35
boluses at the end so that you don't die
00:16:36
from the poison and this is pretty much
00:16:38
the exact buff routine used for every
00:16:40
clip that was used in this build guide
00:16:42
