Dark Souls 3 Builds: From Fun to the Best

The Dark Souls series is famous for its complexity and, at times, impassability. When you are killed over and over again, patience and desire to continue the game are lost. The only thought remains to delete the game and live a real life. Of course, no one does that. Maybe someone does delete it, but Dark Souls beckons you with its charm, gloomy atmosphere, gorgeous locations, and a plot that sinks into the heart.

Dark Souls 3 has the following advantages and disadvantages.

Advantages:

– Great dark graphics.

– Very strong and interesting bosses.

– Good plot (better than in the previous parts).

– Dynamics.

– Musical accompaniment.

Disadvantages:

– High difficulty (for beginners this is a real problem).

– Few bosses.

– Bad co-op (it will take about an hour to set up everything).

Let’s get back to the builds now.

Well, the secret to a good game’s success (without wasting extra time and nerves) is a correct and competent build. Top games become even more interesting and playable thanks to a balanced decision regarding the character build. Today we will look at the best and funniest builds of the game Dark Souls 3.

It is impossible to say exactly which builds in Dark Souls 3 are the best. It all depends on what you want to pump more – luck, strength, faith, etc. At first, creating a build in Dark Souls 3 may seem difficult and even scary. A beginner can easily get confused among the many items, spells, and characteristics. A more experienced player can use creativity to create his build, constantly experimenting. If you are just getting acquainted with the Dark Souls universe, then these builds are made for you.

To become a pyromancer, you need to score at least 30 points in intelligence and faith. If you score 40 points, then pyromancy deals significant damage and surpasses most curses. A large number of pyromancies with high damage, such as Soaring Chaos and Black Serpent, can allow you to cope with almost any situation.

The Power Within and Flash Sweat are also some fantastic buffs if you want to create a hybrid build. You can even use Demon Scar to cast pyromancy, slicing through mobs with a burning curved sword. Versatility, damage, defense, this build has it all.

Your starting class should be a Warrior. If you are not attracted to sorcery and magic, but like brute force and power, then this build is made for you. To do this, you should invest at least 60 points in strength, and this pumping will allow you to knock down all enemies with a blow, except perhaps strong bosses. For equipment, any Greatsword will suit you. Two-handed swords will suit you perfectly, and the Lothric Knight Greatsword will also be an excellent find. This build is ideal for players who prefer a slow and leisurely pace of the game.

If you like a fast style, then the Pure Strength build will not suit you. Remember that with this build you must pump up stamina. This can be achieved with the help of rings such as the Ring of Favor and the Chlorantium Ring.

This build, like the previous one, is formed from the Warrior. If you have just started to get acquainted with Dark Souls 3, but are thinking about the build, then this is a great option. If you want to pump up the weapon attack rating to the maximum, then you will be able to pump up dexterity and strength equally.

That is, with such a build, you will be able to use almost all possible weapons in Dark Souls 3, which sounds cool, of course. Do you realize your omnipotence? Now you can take the weapon of your choice, but remember that it must be endowed with a purified gem. As a weapon, the Greatsword of the Hollow Assassin is ideal for you, as well as any types of weapons that are imbued with Refined. The first of the listed swords has huge dimensions and scales well with dexterity and strength.

If you are not a fan of such heavy weapons, you can choose another one – one that you like. The most important thing is that this weapon scales well with strength or dexterity. And if combined with two characteristics at the same time, you will become invincible (if you try, of course).

If you want to stand firm in everything, take a closer look at this build. Using the composure bonus provided by Yhorm’s Gretshield equipment, the plan is to strike after strike in the fight for damage and come out on top, forcing the enemy to retreat, which allows you to continue the pressure.

If you decide to choose the Tank build out of all the builds in Dark Souls 3 for PvP, then keep in mind that it has its main drawback – slowness and clumsiness. If you want to inflict pure damage on your opponent – do not rush, but cheat. Let the enemy come closer to you and try to hit you. You are a Tank, so your armor is impressive and you will receive little damage. When the enemy hits you first, start attacking him, stunning him.

Try mastering this build in PvE in Dark Souls 3.

With the massive amount of composure that can be gained from wielding the Great Shield of Ichorm, players will be able to trade attacks with enemies much larger than them. This often means taking damage, so be sure to have some form of healing ready. To keep up the momentum, use the Estus Flask at the right time.

Rapier and claw, the Crow Quills are devastating weapons that gain an S Agility bonus when sharpened. This weapon has a powerful moveset, allowing you to knock out enemy attacks and heavily punish them with feather projectiles or the ability to chain attacks into each other. This weapon is difficult to master due to its combo potential, but a Crow Quill build with high Agility in the hands of a skilled player is a fearsome sight in PvP. Hornet Ring also pairs well with this weapon if the player is adept at parrying enemies.

There are plenty of funny and entertaining builds in Dark Souls 3. Let’s look at some of them.

Torch build

A build that is perfect for a real Torchman. You will need a lot of patience – the torch deals negligible damage to some bosses. But the build works – some guys even manage to speedrun the game with it. The easiest option is Dark Souls 3 with the Ashes of Ariandel add-on. There you can find the stalker’s torch – an improved version of the usual one. It will be much easier with it. But you still need to get to this torch.

Recommendations: patience, work, and perseverance. The torch can be improved at the blacksmith – this will make the passage easier.

Allergy to clothes – naked build 

In Dark Souls 3, they changed the principle of protection: now the absence of an item in the slot minus the overall resistance. Therefore, a naked character not only refuses armor protection but also receives an additional debuff. You can choose a club, spear, or cestus as a weapon. The club will be a great decoration for the image. The spear will give a certain Stone Age charm to the character. And with the cestus, you can feel like an ancient Roman gladiator in just a loincloth.

Recommendations: bring the rolling skill to perfection. No other protection is given.

Suicide Ninja

A great challenge would be to complete the game with the Blade of Chaos. Ideally, add a ring with a red stone and enter the battle ONLY if HP is less than 20%. This is dangerous and reckless but effective in terms of damage.

Do not let the enemy kill you. Accept death only from your katana! And it will kill you sooner or later. Each hit will take away HP, so act wisely. On repeated playthroughs, the Blade of Chaos is a must-have. Play as a berserker ninja who goes into battle only wounded and takes out everything in rage mode. There is simply no better weapon for this.

Recommendations: Fight with honor. Die with dignity.

As usual, Reddit has its crowd. And of course, how can you not do without heated debates and discussions? A DS3 fan created a discussion on the topic: “What is your favorite build in DS3 and why?” Here is the answer of one of the gamers: “Dex. Now, before you crucify me, hear me out! It’s because of the skill: Hold that most katanas have. I just love walking up to people like the coldest mf that ever lived, ready to match whatever they throw at me. But str builds are great as well, and sorcery builds. The only one I didn’t care for was faith, even though it’s much more viable than most people make it out to be. Just doesn’t click for me as well as the others do”.
