Build Strategy

At character creation choose the Fire Gem as your starting gift.

Run through the first part of the game as normal until you get to Firelink Shrine, use the bonfire to teleport to High Wall of Lothric. Walk down the wooden stairs and light the bonfire, there will be a section of wall that is crumbled across from the bonfire, walking out onto it will aggro a crossbow weilding enemy. This mob has about a 20-30% chance to drop a crossbow. Kill him, then reset by using the bonfire, repeat until it drops the crossbow for you.

Use the bonfire to teleport back to Firelink Shrine, buy 99+ crossbow bolts from the Shrine Handmaid, then follow this video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=LsRke53Lpi0. NOTE: There are several ways to kill the Swordmaster, you can also knock him off the cliff, then die (or log out and back in) and his loot will be there waiting for you .. or you could not cheese it and fight him the hard way (good luck!).

Once you have the sword head to Blacksmith Andre and Infuse the Fire Gem into the Uchigatana, this will remove all stat scaling from the weapon, but add a tremendeous amout of fire damage. Start using all your Titanite Shards to upgrade this weapon.

You will need 11 Str and 16 Dex to utilize the sword. Pump all your remaining points into Luck to level 20. At this point place points into the stat of your choice but leave Str and Dex alone, as you will not benefit from them. 

The logic behind the Luck stat is that it increases the Bleed damage (and maybe reduces the number of hits it takes to start the bleed - I am still testing it) This will GREATLY increase your chance to stagger anything that takes more than 3-4 hits to kill. I have even staggered bosses after only a few swings and kept them chain staggered for a while.
