What This Build is For

This build is for those trying to be the fastest hitter on the battlefield, able to control distance easily. The idea of this build is to utilize two Katanas in the right-hand slot with one seal in the left hand. This build will be using a few Ashes of War and an incantation.

Stat Priority

• Strength
• Dexterity
• Vigor
• Endurance
• Mind
• Faith
• Intelligence
• Arcane

Weapons + Seal

• Uchigatana
  • This will be one of our Katanas in this build, paired with the Beast Step. This weapon scales with Dexterity and Strength, a heavy hitter in this build.

• Nagakiba
  • This is our second Katana; its reach is unbeatable, with substantial bleed build-up. This will serve as our backup katana to use any Dragon Cult ashes of war.

• Gravel stone seal
  • Our Incantation is of the Dragoncult type; this seal will help boost its potency.

Ashes of War + Incantation

• Ash of War: Bloodhound Step will be slotted onto the Uchigatana, the basis for this build’s focus on mobility.

• Ash of War: Lightning Slash will be equipped on our Nagakiba for the extra length.

• Electrify Armament is an incantation that scales with Faith and Dexterity, so either Katana benefit from this incantation being used.

Talismans

• Ritual Shield Talisman
  • Increases jumping attack damage by 15%

• Assassin’s Cerulean Dagger
  • Critical attacks restore 15 FP

• Shard of Alexander
  • Greatly boosts the attack power of skills

Rotation + Strategy

1. When the fight begins, cast Electrify Armaments on the Uchigatana with Bloodhound Step. Start teleporting around the area and begin toying with your opponent, strike, then move back and create distance.
2. Regain some health and stamina after your attacks, then use Lightning Slash to surprise your enemy and utilize that extra reach.
3. Keep using Bloodhound Step to step in, get in some strikes, and step out of the enemy’s range.
