| Build Name | Creator | Class | Stat + Weapon Preference | Soul Level | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rocrus | Knight | Strength Heavy Claymore Dark Sword |
133 | A knight, fallen from the path of righteousness, seeks to reclaim their honor as a proud elite knight in the face of insurmountable danger. Donned with a heavy sword and shield, the knight bravely sets out into the world to conquer the darkness that plagues the land of Lothric. This is a build that I've been running since the launch of the game back in 2016, and have now decided to share with the community. It is an easy and very basic build to accomplish but may require some players to venture into NG+1 at the very least to reach the recommended level. This build is a high-strength, high vitality build that requires at least 44 Vitality, the Ring of Favor, and Havel's Ring to prevent fat rolling. Even still, the build is tanky and outputs great damage. This page will guide you through the general process of the build. NOTE: For maximum build effectiveness, owning The Ringed City DLC is highly recommended. |

| Soul of Cinder Cosplay | Relinquished | Knight or Any | Str/Dex Firelink Greatsword and Pyromancy Flame |
90 | Fun cosplay build focusing on the Pyromancy form of the Soul of Cinder. Level 90 allows for standard quality stat allocation. Self buff on the Firelink Greatsword is really great, coupled with Power Within you will be pushing 750 attack rating. Although you have a pyromancy flame, its more for show, as Int/Fth are not leveled up. Unless you get a friend to drop you the armor and weapon, using a Claymore for the game is fine. VIG: 30, ATT: 15, END: 14, VIT: 15, STR: 39, DEX: 39, INT: 10, FTH: 10, LCK:7 You can wear any rings, but I usually wear the Life ring, Ring of Favor, Chloranthy Ring, and the last slot I swap out for what I need, such as a Sun princess ring to offset Power Within's life leech, or a hornet ring if you want to use a Blessed caestus to parry. |
| PeaceKeeper | Bigboi69 | Knight | Black Knight Great Axe Black Knight Glaive Black Knight Shield |
102 | Just a build I thought I'd whip up because I was bored being the "Big Bad Invader" and wanted to take a good guy view on the game. |
| THE ONE | K1llSh0t_87 | Any | Anri Straight Sword & Morian Blade |
100+ |
Just equip the Anri's sword in main hand with Morion blade in off hand with red tearstone ring get to low health and get wrecked every boss and for stats just get to 60 luck (softcap for Anri's sword) then the rest of the lvls are up to you depending on what lvl you wanna be |

Do You Want to Destroy?! Here is a link to my build: ?! |
| Sneaky Mage | Uvejota | Pyromancer | [30 Intelligence + 25 Faith] |
As soon as you can cast 2 essential spells [24] to core build [80+] |
This is not a common mage build, it focus on stealth and status effect spells Versus most enemies you wont trigger aggro, and vs bosses your damage over time will take them down effectively So far the funniest build i've ever played, check this guide if you want to try something completely different! |
| Thor, God of Thunder | maurotyler | Mercenary | [Faith + Quality] |
230 | End game build, will make you a God. DYNAMICS: Beginning of anything you do, cast Tears of Denial and Sacred Oath, rest on the bonfire ( the buffs will remain ), and begin your quests. Sunlight Spear = ~1200 damage. |
| The Hollow Knight | KingM | Thief | Dex&Luck///Anri's Straight Sword&The Great Scythe |
120+ | Uses the Luck stat's effect on Hollow Weapons and Bleeding effects to deliver high damage with the reliable and versitile movesets of a straight sword and a scythe. Can be experimented on to incorporate Miracles. |
| Item Farmer XD | Insanity327 | All | luck and vitality + symbol of avarice & two crystal sage rapiers & rusted gold coins |
+60 | Its a build for farming covenant items :D |
| God of Cinder | Insanity327 | Knight | Faith&Str&int&dex | Lorians greatsword + firelink set and crystal chime |
200+ | its a end game pve build that can do about 850 damage (50 int faith str agi) with lorians greatsword + some deadly spells (sunlight spear and crystal soul spear) you can add onyx blade or morion blade (if you are low at int and faith) for second weapon. |
| The Versatile Wraith | Mokgore | Knight | Strength and Dexterity, Vigor and Endurance. Dark Sword or Fume Ultra Greatsword. | 65 / 85 /125 | A highly versatile build focusing the use of the Dark Sword, with the option to change to the Fume Ultra Greatsword. May also level reach the Vigor and Endurance soft caps or the Strength and Dexterity soft caps. Has access to Carthus Flame Arc. |
| Pure Sorcery Glass Cannon Mage for PvE / PvP | SeyroonTheMage | Sorcerer | Intelligence, Attunement, Vigor | 82 / 120 | This guide is expressly written for players who are curious about playing a ranged magic DPS but don't know where to start. Here you will find everything you need to know to become a powerful magic wielder. |
| Darkest Knight | FamilyWhale | Knight | Vigor, Dexterity, Faith, Strength /// Dark Sword | 115 | This is a heavily offensive hybrid build that offers an excellent amount of dynamic in any given situation, be it PvE or PvP. |
| Heavy Hitter | Jinhitsu | Warrior | Strength + Dexterity + Lorian Greatsword | 100 | High damage build. 1040 AR potential. Requires timing for maximum buff stacks. |
| Ashen Knight | Amord | Knight | Strength + Dexterity | 120 | A build utilizing Strength and Dexterity and basic equipment to get the job done. Very versatile |
| Basic PvE STR build | Grythor | Warrior | 20 Vigor, 59 Str, 40 Endurance, 30 Vitality | 104 | While going to softcaps in Vigor and Endurance, this build makes use of Heavy infused weapons (such as the Large Club) with light armor ( Dark Set) to create a build with good dodging and high melee damage. |
| Blood & Fire | Kindread | Mercenary | 11 Str, 16 Dex, 20 Luck Fire Uchigatana |
20+ | As the Fire Uchigatana removes all scaling from the weapon you only need the base stats. While the weapon itself is a beast in the early game with the Fire Gem infuse, it is the bleed damage and it's ability to stagger bosses that makes this weapon really shine which is why we pump Luck up to a minimum of 20. |
| Dark Sword | Dismund | Mercenary | SL: 120 Vigor: 30, Endurance: 30, Vitality: 30, Strength: 40, Dexterity: 40 |
120 | The Dark Sword gets a B scaling in both STR and DEX when infused with a Refined Gem so pumping 40 STR and DEX gives you a ton of damage and you can apply resins for even more damage. The Dark Sword drops off the Darkwraiths just before the Abyss Watchers fight. I have 30 points in Vitality because I'm using the Morne's armor set but you don't need that much if you're using a lighter armor set. The rings I'm using are Chloranthy Ring, Hunter's Ring (+5 DEX), Knight's Ring (+5 STR), Havel's Ring |
| Easy Peasy Knight | Velldanas | Knight | Vigor: 30 Vitality: 20 (NG - 30) Strenght: 20 Dexterity: 40 |
100 | First, you must up Vigor and Vitality to 20. You really can defeat all bosses with standart weapon and clothes. Just upgrade sword meanwhile and all will be good. For NG we need full Lothric set and Lothric Knight Sword. Its best Straight Sword. Upgrade this sword to +10. Set Lothric heavy, so you must up Endurance to 27. You can use any shield. I'm using Crest Shield. Dexterity we up for scale. Lothric sword have default 18 dextery. Vitality we up to 30 because with this 30, we can beat around 10 (!!!) times non-stop. Its really cool. Any enemies will die too fast. About rings: we need 3 rings before we go to NG (and for first play of course). Its Havel's Ring, Ring of Favor and Pontiff's Right Eye. Its three cool rings. Other 1 slot for ring you can choose itself. I'm prefer Chloranthy Ring. For PVP this build works too. You can punish your enemy's with fast, non-stop attack. They do not expect that you can hit more than 4-5 times. |
| soothsaying spellsword | specopsthedrake | mercenary | Min 30 faith 40+attunement 25+dex
Max 24 strength |
(not adding strength) 95 |
This would be a hybrid dex/attunement/faith build. The faith would enable the use of miracles to get weapon buffs/ magic shields. The attunement would allow for one to build a lot of focus along with enough slots for said blessings. The dex is to make sure you use curved swords along with the weapon arts most curved swords have, like chained dance/dancer’s grace/spin slash, etc. Coming off bloodborne’s constantly moving combat, no blocking (especially if you used the blades of mercy) made me think of this build. So if your first from software game was bloodborne, then this build may be found interesting. faith is for weapon buffs(darkmoon/lightning blade/blessed weapon), great magic barrier,(and maybe a healing spell because you should have more ash estus flasks than most) attunement is needed for at least 6 slots for miracles, arts( and some other odd useful spells) and most importantly enough focus dex for the use of curved swords on which this build is built on(my favorite weapon is the painting guardian's curved sword due to it’s weapon art and above average dex scaling.Problem is that you get this weapon after you are accustomed to another weapon) I capped strength at 24 only because to get some of the boss soul exchange curved swords you a higher strength stat |
| Dex-Faith Build | AlricOmega3 | Knight | 40 Dex (with rings) 30 Faith (for bufs) |
100 |
18 attunment is the minum required for spell slots and FP cost. 32 base Dex up to 40 with rings equiped, which I think it's a nice cap for a melee build. If SL cap is increased improve Vigor and Endurance for more HP and Stamina. |
| Righteous Punishment | GV Aldric | Assassin | 60 Faith |
125 |
With this build you will not feel powerless at any point of your playtrough. The raw weapon is great in the starting areas, and then you get the buffs needed to keep it up, all while pumping your survivability. Basically you get all the damage early on, but do not need to invest in a core stat (Str/Dex/Int/Fai) for the first quarter of the game. And in the endgame locations you will annihilate everything with the inherently fast Spear Miracles and the Lightning Weapon buff. At level ~100+ your rings will determine a lot about your playstyle. You will be able to go full out lightning mage with Morne's Ring + Ring of Sun's Firstborn + Lightning Clutch + Ring of Dusk/Lloyd's Sword Ring, Build: |
| The Solaire Build | Lonely_Patches | Deprived | 40 STR 20 DEX 30 FTH Sunlight Straight Sword |
106-110 |
Pairs some great armors together to form a solid defense as well as a stylish look. Remind Bosses and enemies alike the power of Solaire. Using the Sunlight Straight Sword's buff along with Lightning Weapon brings your AR to 650 and higher Can also increase attunement to allow for usage of Lightning/Greater Lightning/ Sunlight Spear. |
| Mundane Spellblade | MutinyMate | Knight | 37 STR 34 DEX 30 FTH Dark Sword |
120 |
Capitalizes on Mundane DPS and has a spell for the elemental advantage in every situation. Backup weapon is entirely user preference. |
| Jolly Cooperator/ Coopinvasion Build |
BloodSoul26 | Herald | 23 VIG, 14 ATN, 9 END, 16 VIT, 12 STR, 11 DEX, 8 INT, 15 FTH, 11 LUCK Morning Star, Light Crossbow, Wargod Wooden Shield, Priest's Chime |
30 |
This is strictly a low-level coop and/or invasion build. You have 15 FTH for the Tears of Denial miracle. However, if that is not working out for you (like against poison), replace it with one or two miracles (Replenishment and Blessed Weapon are safe choices). I don't prefer the Heal spells since your allies either get themselves killed too quickly (usually by rushing or prematurely using Estus), or they simply know how and when to dodge and attack properly. After you help Greirat from his cell, you can buy the Mace from him as your substitute for the Morning Star until you get the Paladin's Ashes. Don't forget your Light Crossbow from his store, too. All weapons will be +2, no more... no less. You will infuse a Raw Gem on your Morning Star, and a Simple Gem on your shield. Why? Because you are not relying on stats for scaling... heck, you're not relying on scaling at all, which is why an infusement like this will benefit you more... and you don't lose the Bleed bonus on your weapon. Also, it's weapon art is too good... if you time it right, you can basically tank through any hit or two with no flinching, and damage is also reduced! This is especially great against R1 spammers or gankers (oh and you can put a Resin on your weapon... like more bleed, perhaps?). Take that, spray & pray mentality! The shield is made Simple because it gets a slight boost to Magic Defense (which it lacks prior), and it helps regen your FP by 1 point every 5 seconds. That may sound redundant, but you can use a weapon art (both the Morning Star and the Chime) with only 1 FP... although I fear this may get patched at some point. If that happens, infuse your shield with a Blessed Gem instead. You will be able to help (or intude on) people from the very beginning all the way to the end of the Catacombs area. Have fun, and don't go hollow. No seriously, don't go hollow, that's for another build I may just make. EDIT: Oh yes, Rings! You will have Ring of Favor (of course), Havel's Ring, Prisoner's Chain, and Sun Princess Ring. With all this ready to go, you would have to be a complete imbecile to not be helpful to your allies... or a complete and successful nuisence to your enemies.

| Kira-kun | Warrior | Strength + Vitality Broadsword |
28 |
In this guide shows how you become a Lothric Knight in the early game. After the second area you will have a great armor, a strong sword which scales well with strength and dexterity for late, a long-range weapon and a 100%-blocking shield. It's a strong start and you can play with this without any struggle through the first half of DS3. |
|
| Sweeping Spear |
TheB0xN00b | Herald | Base stats: Vigour: 12 Attunement: 14 Endurance: 9 Vitality: 12 Strength: 14 Dexterity: 12 Intelligence: 12 Faith: 13 Luck:11 Weapons: -Partizan (2 handed) -Pyromancy Flame |
20+ |
An extremely simple concept of progressing damage increase. Use the Partizan with both hands and the extremely long range as well as the varied attacks (thrusting and sweeping) makes it a force to be reckoned with. For particularly difficult enemies that can be stun-locked use the Pyromancy 'Carthus Beacon' to deal progressing damage with each consecutive hit. After the initial build has been reached it is easily tailored to suit your playstyle, wear armour that fits you and level up where you want from there. |
| High defense, strength, and pyromancy | aesthetictherapy | Deprived | Essential stats: |

A good PvE Paladin Build, very polyvalent. It has a high HP regen ability, increasing viability, a good defense, very good Miracles damages. This Build would perfectly suit for every situation. | |
| The Fume Buld |
Hiechan | Knight | Strength/Dex/ Ultra Greatsword |
100+ |
Start as the knight class to get boosted Vitality and endurance, progress through game while leveling up strength, vitality, Dex, and endurance equally( Be sure to get the 5 free levels from Yoel as well). Once you get to the carthus dungeons cut the bridge leading to the High lord Wolnir boss and descend into smoldering lake. Once in smoldering lake head to the demon ruins (to the right of the demon boss fog gate) and progress until you see a lava lake in the very bottom point of the demon ruins to find knight slayer tsorig. He utilized a greatshield and the weapon you need so he will be fairly tought however he is slow, so use backstabs. Once he is defeated he will drop the Fume Ultra Greatsword, it takes twinkling titanite to upgrade but is well worth it. When upgraded fully it has an S in stregnth scaling and a C in Dex. Comibined if you have 70 in stregnth and 50 in Dex you will push 950 damage per strike two handed. I utilize this build well into my Ng+7 playthrough to easily destroy enemies in PVE and invader from PVP. For this build it is recomonded to just use this sword and no shield because the Fume sword is extremely heavy, so you might need to learn to roll effectively. Be sure to use medium or light armour so you do not become overencumbered. |

BloodSoul26 | See Builds to the right | See Builds to the right |
20, 40, 60, 80, and 100 for each Pure build (Hybrid builds will only be at Level 60 and above, see below) |
These are a list of builds decidated to anything and everything but end-game Duels (aka SL120 "meta"). So, go ahead and choose what build you want, but note that you do not need to follow them to the letter, and you may make adjustments if you don't like the results. These are merely guidelines or starting points for you to go on, then you can either keep them or experiment with different ideas in the same build. Note: You must stay at the required levels mentioned (Soul level and Weapon level) due to the recent patch (Regulation 1.33 App 1.13). P.S. Each build section has various levels for access to all areas of the game (for example, SL20 is for High Wall of Lothric to Undead Settlement, while SL100 is basically for the DLC areas). P.P.S. I am going to assume that you are capable of beating the entire game (with or without help from others) at any Soul Level. After all, this is a Souls' game... how can you call yourself the ultimate jolly cooperator, invader, or duelist... if you can't meet the challenges required for any level? |
| Ultimate NG Playthrough Hybrid Builds (Co-Op, Invasion, and Duels) |
BloodSoul26 | See Builds to the right | See Builds to the right |
Level 60, 80, and 100 See Pure builds above |
This is a continuation from the list of builds above. Unlike the "pure" builds you see above, these builds focus on using two stats instead of one, and won't be reaching hardcaps. Don't forget that you do not need to copy off the builds, but merely see them as guidelines to start off of, and then make adjustments if you want. The whole point of my builds (both Pure and Hybrid) are to show what is possible, not what is mandatory. Get creative if my versions aren't enough! |
| Expertionis | Knight | STRENGTH+heavy exile greatsword |

Hey you there... yes you. do you like using greatswords? do you enjoy burning your foes alive? then boy do i have a build for you. this build is mostly, as you can guess, for hitting things hard with a flaming sword. black fire orb on the side. |

This dragonslaying executioner also sought out the serpent men of Archdragon Peak. He tried to find his father, but was too late as a Blade of the Darkmoon had killed him. Father is theorised and most commonly Creighton the Wanderer. |

| Efficient Strength Build | KingAmbrose | Warrior | Strength (And a bit of Faith for fun if you wish) |
120 (89 without the Faith) |
An Efficient Strength build using rings such as the Prisoner's Chain to gain some virtual levels and I added in Faith components near the end for some fun and to allow a buff for our +10 Heavy Greatsword. Combo people with a Greatsword and parry them while admiring your 20 free virtual levels. (Without the Faith parts you will reach level 89 and can spend these extra points to 120 on stats like Strength, Endurance, and Vigor or whatever you want) |
| Theurgist | Starcomet | Cleric | Faith and Intelligence; Mace or any that requires 12 Strength or less and Crystal Chime. |
117 |
A caster build that focuses on using Sorceries and Miracles thanks to the use of the Crystal Chime. It occasionally uses pyromancy against certain enemies and bosses. |

100+ |
This build is based for fighting everything but bosses so if you are low on health you can “Run and heal” without using any Estus the level and stats are the bare minimum they can go higher the higher the more heal the better the build |
| Darkmoon Sorcerer | milkyway! | Warrior | Weapons (only one at a time unless you decide to level vitality)
Stats 18 STR, 34 DEX, 34 INT, should fit all weapons in list. Past SL100 I would reccomend only levelling DEX and INT. |
100+ |
Versatile build for weapons that scale with Intelligence. Friede's Great Scythe is an immensely fun weapon to use and with these stats and rings (you can check all equipment in the link at the bottom), all of these weapons do fantastic split damage.
Every weapon here has it's own use but mainly I stick to the Scythe because of the unique moveset. Because of the Intelligence stat also, you could add a staff and make this build a spellcaster as well. I hope this helps any of you! |

Endgame knight build:
Longsword
Knight Shield
Knight Helm
Knight Armor
Knight Gauntlets
Knight Leggings
------------------------------------------------------
Seriously. The starting knight equipment is more than enough to carry you through the entire game, and even a couple NG+ runs too. Pour all your points into Strength, Vigor, and Endurance (don't worry about Vitality, the 15 points you start with is plenty since you start out under 70% equip load) infuse your Longsword with a Fire Gem early on (pick a Fire Gem as your burial gift), once you get the Farron Coal infuse your Longsword with a Heavy Gem. A +10 Heavy Longsword has A scaling for Strength. At 60 Strength, a +10 Heavy Longsword does around 415 damage per hit, more than enough to handle anything the game can throw at you. The Knight Shield has 100% damage reduction, the Knight armor set has impressive resistances all around. You'll never need anything more. All that's left is to get some melee build appropriate rings, I use the Chloranthy ring, the Ring of Favor, as they're all-around useful, as well as the Ring of Steel Protection, and the Speckled Stoneplate Ring for a nice little boost to overall damage resistance.

A build inspired by PvP Skillz. Pontiff Hunter, basically. Stats: Attunement: 14 (for 2 slots) DEX and Endurance: 40 INT and Faith: 12 or 14 (enough for Carthus Beacon) Attune the rest as you please. Weapons: Right Hand: Sellsword Twinblades or Gravewarden Twinblades Left Hand: Pyromancy Flame and Old Wolf Curved Sword Rings: Pontiff's Left Eye Ring, Pontiff's Right Eye Ring, Chloranthy Ring +2, Lingering Dragoncrest Ring+2 The idea is to use the healing and attack bonus effect from Pontiff's ring and the Curved Sword to sustain an aggressive playstyle. The nice thing about the Old Wolf Curved Sword is you don't need to attack with it to get the affect, you just need to have it equipped. Which is perfect for the twinblades. Carthus Beacon pyromancy with the dragoncrest ring is to add to the attack bonus for the aggressive play. Armor doesn't matter, but you need the fast roll. No parry and no blocking means you will have to be on point with your dodges and stamina management. So I like to go with fashion souls. Really fun build to play. But getting the Old Wolf Curved Sword is kind of a pain in the butt.

Saw a Link build here and there, and if anyone wants to do a link challange; Invlolves as much gear as possible to reference the many iterations of Link. If someone has posted this build before, my bad, I have not seen it. I'm currently using fallen knight , assassin chest, harald booties, and brigand for golden braces Rings to have on you specifically (* being highly recommendedto wear); -Hawk/Leo* ring -Chloranthy +3 * -RoF +3 * (everything you could ever want,health stamina and equip load) -Resistance rings (steel protect or stoneplates) -knight slayer ring -farron ring -sun princess -lingering dragon crest -suns first born and morne rings if you want higher damage output on mainly lightning arrow For weapons, it's mainly a ss build tbh, however incoperates bows, whips, and two spells I can currently think of to properly pull of a basic Link; Swords Shortsword (kokiri) Astora ss (ordan) Lotheric (master) Astora gs (big goron knife) Sheilds S. Eagle kite/Golden Crest? (hylian) Knight (mirror?) Bows Shortbow (if you want less str)/Compound bow Pharis bow/Longbow Grapplehook (Windwaker) - sharp notched whip Canvas talisman (or your choice if you want more damage) for boomerang (carona - or destructodisk, whichever you prefer) and light arrows (lightning arrow!) Keep all arrows (normal, great arrows not necessary) Fire arrows- fire arrows :O Moonlight arrows - ice arrows Catalyst in inventory for hidden body for magical cloak (link to the past) for when you want to just run by stealthily or set up gank city Fire/black fire bombs for your bombs of course! For stats, mainly a faith/dex build, however I started as a knight; Vig 30 Att 15 End 30 Vit 20 Str 20 Dex 40 Int 14 Fth 40 Luck 7 For the most part, gunna use sharp infusion, refined doesn't help nearly as much as I initially though with the 20 str. Of course, all equipmemt is subjective to how you'd like to play, still a work in progress for me rn but is the general outcome i plan to get to, so tweeking will probably be necessary. I chose higher dex for casting speed for spells at the same time as increasing bow and sword damage to open an array of weapons for Link to also buff his sword should a player want to Trying to think of a good hammer, but just don't have them on my character currently, but think a lightning blacksmiths is the way to go with how the stats are distributed, particularly with str at 20. I am open to suggestions and recommendations to tweek the build if anyone has them!

this is my personal set up, and I think it is very good, especially with a quality/dex/str build. It comprends: silver knight helm and armor, exile gauntlets and leggins, black knight sword and shield. I tried to post it calling it "wandering gwyn knight", but for device problems I failed. If this english looks weird to you american and english it is because I'm italian, but ANYWAY I use mainly these rings: havel's ring, estus ring, blue tearstone ring, chartus milk ring.

I have a build! (I'm not a member and I'm poop at web page stuff, sorry)
Name: The Judge (please don't mock the edginess)
SL: 105
Starting class: Mercinary
Burial Gift: any/none
Stats: VIG: 25
ATT: 15
END: 20
VIT: 20
STR: 20
DEX: 50
INT: 20 (for his/her signature weapon)
FTH: 15
LCK: 10
Weapons: Friede's Scythe +5
Talisman (optional)
Description: Badass build that uses a scythe as his/her only weapon, great in PVE and pretty decent in PVP. Wears a mixture of medium armour to keep him/herself mobile and protected. Lorian's Crown looks especially badass. In PVE: harvest the mindless fools' souls and judge the mighty. In PVP: be respectful; resist the urge to be cheap with the special scythe attack, use it only occasionally and DON'T SPAM; always gesture; if opponent is being cheap, disrespectful or attacking you while you gesture, judge his/her sorry ass and go full Friede on them. Join Darkmoon Covenant for Role Play purposes. DON'T GANK (unless you are a Darkmoon phantom; duty before all else, after all)
Sorry for cluttering the comments but I just want to inspire people to be more creative with their PVE and PVP... it gets tiring to see the same suits of armour (I'm looking at you Fallen Knight set) and weapons. I know I focused a lot on PVP, but this build started as PVE and is still focused on it).

For easy PvE.
This are the stats you are going for. raise dex to 12 , strength to 34, then vitality 20 and endurance 20, Then you can put points as you want but you need to get to bellow written stats.

dex - 12

vit - 20
str - 50
==Equipment==
-Weapons-
THRALL AXE - dropped by those little sneaky bastards(Thralls) found everywhere in the game. Only non dagger weapon in the game that has quickstep i think. Use quickstep instead of rolling and to transverse hard terrain like the flooded woods. A good early - mid game weapon. Especialy usefull to run away from mobs and evan run into them. Use this to get hold of Millwood axe from the DLC area.
MILLWOOD BATTLE AXE - It can be found in the tower where there are millwood knights om the DLC area. Its special skill makes the character dash a few steps and then warcry. This will help you in two ways. Firstly warcry gives a damage boost. Secondly the dashing can stagger any opponent who is humanoid sized and in the way, giving you atleast two free hits and braking non hyper Armour attack animations. Sister Friede is easy once you bump into her like a savage with a millwood axe. The stagger happens multiple times. You need to bump into them when they are standing still or starting an attack, Dont warcry against attacks with hyper armour frames like the special attacks of greatswords.Shielded up enemies will not stagger. Really a Great weapon in PvE.
MillWood GreatBow - This is a bow and will shoot exploding arrows. This is for late game. Use any other bow till then for kiting.
Curse Ward Greatshield - This shield allows the weapon skill to be used while its equiped. Use this untill you can get your hands on Moaning Shield
Moaning Shield - Once you get your hands on this its all a piece of cake. Its available in late game. You wont need the quick step or the Manly March of millwood axe. cast magic shield on the Moaning shield and notice that every attack against your shield will do "ABSOLUTE 0.00 STAMINA DAMAGE"
-Armour-
You dont need any specific armour. Its fashion souls :D
-Rings-
Chloranthy ring- for stamina regen
Linguring Dragoncrest Ring - for when you start using Moaning shield and magic shield. This will extend the time of the spell.
Heval Ring - for equip load

I have two builds that work VERY well and is a low requirement of roughly SL150-170.
Build 1....
20 vigor, 20 endurance, 50 attunement, 20 strength, 20 dexterity, 50 intelligence, and 50 faith. Every other stat is the same as it is when you start the game. Start the game as a knight as he is the easiest class to play with. Your weapons are a chaos long sword +10, pyro flame +10, and crystal sage bell +5. If you need a shield use one and some light armor since your carry weight is not very high. The damage on this heavy spell build is CRAZY with great chaos fire balls hitting for 1400 damage a piece and your chaos long sword hitting around like 400-500 after burn. The build is squishy so rolling or kiting with a shield is necessary.
Build 2...
30 vigor, 20 endurance, 30 vitality, 50 strength, 30 dexterity, 15 attunement, 10 intelligance, 30 faith. starting class is the knight like usual. Use the dragonslayers greataxe (one you can get from transposing the soul) and that sit. You two hand it and watch as the damage output from the weapon goes crazy. The build is generic but catches invaders off guard as well. Highly agressive play style and is very fun.
GT: Purified Squash on xbox one, message if you ever wanna play and make funny and entertaining builds that aren't meta!
To all the soul friends out there that have problems with build submition. You can submit your build after you register in the site. After log in you will find the new page + at the end of the window in your respective browser. Thank you.
Honestly the easiest way to get through the game is doing 3 things
Refined long sword
Sharp Katana or Curved sword
Anri Straight sword
Attention, everyone! Ahem...godzirra.
No seriously, look at my builds above. I think they will be ideal for newcomers, but also those who want to break free from the SL120 (or above) meta shackles.

Details: **Credit for this build goes to youtuber 'PvPSkillz' he showed off this build in his video "DS3 - Powerfeul underrated build ep. 2" I am just making this build sheet so its easier to follow to the T without having to rewatch his video over and over.** Again, all his ideas, just me writing it up.
This build essentially re-creates the feeling of playing bloodborne, as you have to have a very aggressive play style, in order to heal up and deal the most damage. utilizing life steal abilities and damage increasing. As your rings will steal HP and deal more damage with rapid attacks, while also being passivly healed from your off-hand and blessed weapon buff. The old Wolf sword gives you more damage the more attacks you do in a row, the twin swords are in the build because of their rapid attacks, which translates to more healing during boss fights.
Any blessed weapon on offhand will do, the lighter the better.
Unequip Ring of the Evil Eye for boss fights, as it only gives you back HP when you kill an enemy, so its really would only be useful for the Deacons boss fight, and fighting through the area, swap it out for your ring of choice, would suggest ring of steel protection in case you miss a dodge, as this build has no shield. The Pontiff Right Eye Ring, Old Wolf Curved Sword, and Carthus Beacon gives you more damage the more attacks you do in a row. Blessed weapon miracle increase damage by 7.5%, non scaling, and gives Faith-scaling HP regen for 45 sec. So using blessed weapon on the twin swords, then putting your blessed infused weapon in the off-hand allows for constant health regen, as blessed infusion gives faith based physical damage scaling, roughly 3 HP per tick, regardless of upgrade level, but Upgrade level reduces tick time by about .25sec. The blessed effect stacks with the Sun Princess Ring, offering another boost to your health regeneration, around double the effect when the weapon is fully upgraded.
Would recomend silver mask helm to get that blood borne feel
Again take a visit to PvPSKillz video if you still not sure to see the build in action, its build number 3 in his video. Thank you and enjoy.

Endurance 40+
Vitality 65+
Strength 80+
Dex 10+
Int 8+
Faith 5+
Luck 8+
Soul Level: 180+
Lore:
The Fallen Ash Warriors were once friends with the giants until King Yhorm, the Giant Ruler, grew angry at them for copying the giants' weapons and the war began between them. Today few giants remain and only one Fallen Ash Warrior. You are that Fallen Ash.
Tactic:
From close up parry (with crow talons) or hit normally with the Yhorm's Machete. If you want to be quick you could use the grave warden twindaggers. From far away you can use the Millwood Greatbow's weapon art by shooting to the side of your opponent. From close up, another option is to use the crow talons' two-handed weapon art (raptor flurry) with a Carthus Rouge. This will cause major massacre. To really piss someone off, you could use the black iron greatshield, which will block out nearly 100% damage. And lastly, if someone keeps on running away you could try the crow talons' O + R1.
Looks like I’m putting my build in the comments as well.

This build uses the bleed damage from Great Corvian Scythe and is increased with luck to give you a massive damage boost. The scythe is B scaling in dex so Hunters ring is a must, but you can swap out Carthus Milkring with Knights ring if you choose. Bloodbite Ring+1 helps to counteract some of the bleed damage you will take as a result of the scythe. Armor is pure fashion souls but I chose it to for the reaper look. As far as spells, you can also use something like Deep Protection because again, I went with the scythe for the reaper look. Hope you guys enjoy it!

Neither can the Crown of Dusk, but that is helpful for the build as well. Main spells should be Great Heavy Soul Arrow, Crystal Soul Spear, and Great Heal. Other 3 attunement slots may be used on anything else, but suggestions are in the link. All Estus should be Ashen Estus and the Great Heal spell should be used instead of normal Estus, but this can also be modified.

All builds so usless, no any information about top dps build. And my sl is 360 and no one weapon don't do more damage then dark sword. So go str/Dex and refined dark sword. I got 558 AR without buffs.

I need help because the attutement is driving me crazy. I have 30 Faith, 30 Strenght and 20 attutement, but miracles are so expensive with mana points... I've been paladin since dark souls 1, but now i need a proper paladin build to see if im spending these points conrrectly.
any suggestions on str/faith build? which class should i start with or what points should i invest in and recommended weapons to use?

any suggestions on a int build . I used one through the first 2 games but was wondering it is effective at all in this one
Dragon pyromancy build
Class: pyromancer
SL125
35 vigor
26 attunement
30 endurance
8 vitality
12 strength
16 dex
40 int
40 faith
7 luck
Rings: Ring of favor+3, Fire clutch ring, darkmoon ring, witch's ring
Weapons: Demon's scar and dragonhead shield (the small shield, not the greatshield)

Pure fire damage build. Take any armor you want, just not get over 70%. Use both weapon arts, mix it with different pyromancies
and dragon head stone, which is just better fire surge. Have fun burning everybody.
