Ever wondered what the order of Needle Knights that Leda killed did look like?
Well, obiously they looked like her, so let’s introduce some variations in order for it to feel ‘grounded’, as a role-playing build.
Until you get Leda’s Armor and her sword for the final boss i recommend the rest of the Oathseekeer set and the Treespear.
Then, the Haligtree Crest Shield will become your bread and butter against Radahn Consort of Miquella. Its high Holy resistance and guard allow for Leda’s sword to shine. Curved Sword, as well as Greatshield and Two-Headed Turtle talismans pair well with it.
Unfortunately, in order to reach the 36 points in Faith necessary for the incantations of this build, some concessions had to be made, Hence the Erdtree’s Favor, that allows for the equipment. It is debatable wether to go for 24MIN/30END (2buffs in a row) or 22MIN/32END (a different talisman and pretty much have to drink an estus after Golden Vow…), you decide how you manage.
Speaking of incantations, the Dryleaf Seal helps a bit with the Multilayered Ring of Light, the only one meant to do damage in there, the rest being utility, with the most important one being Golden Vow obiously.
The stats of this build are quite spread out, but necessary, and most importantly, it works! Very fun build to play, even if it’s one you can only access very late in the game. Alternatively, as mentioned previously, Treespear works with it (even if you cannot apply Order’s Blade), so is Night’s Cavalry Flail for another type of damage, both look great with it.
