Strategy

Apply your buffs before your fight. Try to always play defensive if you can. If they are using a heavy weapon, use Iron flesh and just trade hits. However if your opponent is using a light weapon, rush them nonstop and spam R1. If you end up being ganked, a well timed weapon art will put them in their place. To start this build off early, just progress through the game until you get to Crucifixion woods and head straight to the Abyss watchers after grabbing the greatsword from the swamp. Then just go into the catacombs, to the demon ruins and finally kill Knight Slayer Tsorig.
