Best Build for Beloved Stardust (I Think?)

[@Velumbra]

That intro felt like an open hand smack to the side of the head.

[@MarauderHQ]

Slowly accepting my fate of consuming ungodly amounts of boiled crab

[@gabrielrodriguez6936]

The favorite food of the tarnished!

[@hobosorcerer]

As someone who enjoys the stamina regen from turtle neck, it hurts me to eat crab.

[@EnvoyOfRot]

00:03 Nooooooooo! I got called a slur in the first 4 seconds again! 😭😭

[@HighLordWesley]

Boiled crab at RL60 with Marikas sore seal, Beloved Stardust, Stargazer Heirloom, and Graven Mass with the Round Table knight armor makes the defense drop almost unnoticeable

[@lazydatebase4424]

Finally, Saint imbraced his inner tryhard Meta rider self and will show us the path to truimph over hosts and gankers alike . Also, the faith version of this build would've been really cool to see in practice. Since you have so much more combo potentia with faith.

[@Aro748]

What are some good combos with faith? I made a max cast faith build but I have no idea what to do in terms of spells.

[@davilg007]

strength faith would actually make sense with this, for int it's way better to just go 40 dex + radagon

[@honaloochieboogie]

Fully charged O flame, Bloodflame Talons and Stone of Gurranq are your combo starters. They have the same stun level as Carian Greatsword. Stone and Talon can combo into uncharged o flame. All 3 combo to lightning spear, rejection/wrath of gold, placidusax, and gurranq's beast claw (if you're close enough, then the shockwave is a roll catch) I've had the most success with stone of gurranq to lightning spear because of the range. It's a really great heal punish.

[@TheValiantBob]

Also you can stack golden vow and crab as golden vow is an aura buff and crab is a body buff. Which helps with the survivability even more.

[@hobosorcerer]

@@Aro748 Stone of Gurranq into Wrath of Gold is a staple.

[@icyblue878]

absolutely loved the stardust build videos the first video inspired a super fun build quality build that ended up using the Troll Knight Colossal Sword with then eventually Rellana's Twin Light Greatswords, so much fun

[@giovanilucas4857]

2:28 Damn, this was sexy AF

[@blakebailey22]

I'm still convinced Beloved Stardust is supposed to be for heavy armor/high endurance builds to allow them to be competent spellcasters

[@Jambiiiii]

I feel like this talisman should’ve also given an extra 10% dmg to all spells

[@Munnwort]

Thats a little much

[@JohnnysGoldenFiddle]

Never ran a str/int build because I didn’t understand the stat allocation for meta level, but this looks fun as hell

[@DerKommentator1337]

The most delicious build in dungeon. Please never stop calling us fromfies.

[@SirChubblesSteen]

My opinion, Fromfies ain’t it

[@DrakewqSouls]

Best build for beloved stardust: Radagon icon + 40 dex (discard beloved stardust)

[@maximilianopavon8364]

not even that, just offhand Azur staff + Radagon icon and you have 70 virtual dex

[@DrakewqSouls]

@maximilianopavon8364 literally easiest set up in the game

[@DrakewqSouls]

@maximilianopavon8364 I admit I have gooned to the Beloved stardust anyways.

[@maximilianopavon8364]

​@@DrakewqSoulsWith boiled crab is not thaaaaaaat bad, but the 30% increase in damage taken seems to much for what it offers. I feel it should be 15% that would make it perfect.

[@DrakewqSouls]

@maximilianopavon8364 radagon icon + 40 dex + boiled crab is insane tho.

[@Velumbra]

Based cursed build enjoyer.

[@JadeTangea]

You should try using str/int weapons like ruins greatsword or beast jaw to get unique combinations from the strength aspect

[@Nunkuruji]

Beloved Stardust for - Stealthy Mage Assassin glass cannon 1-shot gimmick, where you're using something like 2x Staff of Night - Lower level Seamless co-op, where you can invade with Godrick Rune and have very high stat driven base defenses, and negation matters less.

[@valianttoast1822]

Boggart did not deserve this...

[@a.ah.689]

Is it just a point of pride to not eat boiled crab when invading? There's only upsides and zero downsides

[@LobaGold]

It’s just sort of awkward, for me it gives a negative impression. Like somebody trying to be a PvP legend sweat lord.

[@DarkLordToturials]

just kinda annoying to constantly have to buff really applying grease or weapon buff spells is bothersome enough for me haha

[@spacedoohicky]

Crab helps against mobs too. It isn't worth it if their are no mobs around of course. But if mobs are around it could mean the difference between a loading screen, and no loading screen.

[@donniejules86]

Vewy interesting build approach for using the beloved stardust Saint ! The only thing that’s definitely missing to my eyes , especially for this RL , is the crimson bubbletear considering the burst possibility of when getting blendered etc. Do u really need the magic attacks buff tear when on 80 int ? Cheers ❤

[@Carian_Inspector]

I recently added the pearl drake +3 tailsman, opalaline, plus crab has helped out a lot on my build with the stardust tailsman!

[@SnagSanga_]

fromfie is the new thing

[@Cristian_383]

Never call me Fromfy again please 😭

[@briarwillow]

Froomfie?

[@silkenshadow]

Occurs to me that this should have been a physick tear and the deflection tear should have been a talisman

[@dr.bright2446]

Good thumbnail

[@_Bunger_]

I’m his fromfee

[@Cleptomancer]

I was watching you make a new Black Knight character & was wondering if you have tried using the Wooden Greatshield for your sword & board option.

[@Munnwort]

2:29 nothing personal kid...

[@Prokingdude]

I don't know why you wouldn't go str/fth then though since there's literally a seal that scales with str/fth and fth would give you access to those elemental defense spells while high str and heavy armor would cover the physical defense. Catch flame, honed bolt, rock sling, roar of regalia and giant gold arc are insanely good PvP spells

[@davilg007]

beloved + STR instead of radagon + DEX... I don't get why this is better than going for the dex and just having better defenses overall

[@johnfrankster3244]

Hes in denial that fromsoft created a talisman of undebatable turd.

[@justaguy115]

It's Saint. He takes terrible things and tries to make them look good.

[@kanakattack5000]

But is the 30% extra damage worth it?

[@afleetofburningships]

Ok, so let's say your doing a beast incantation build. This thing might be pretty good?

[@ladonmccabe]

Yoooo! Non dupers unite! No disrespect to those who do, I just don't. I also don't have anyone I could do it with, though i probably wouldnt even if I did. I don't mind farming sometimes

[@Limite.D.elight]

How about verdigris discus on a beloved stardust build?

[@BilliamTorpedo]

I always crab and opaline anyway, we tank in this household

[@johnfrankster3244]

Ive just accepted the talisman sucks dong. Like at level 200 you could put 55 points in strength, or you could take 25 points out, put them in dex & use radagon Icon. I depends how much you love getting boned.

[@Lunadherent]

If there was a Clawmark Seal equivalent for sorcery that scaled off strength, this talisman would've been decent at RL80 with 40+ str investment alone with minimal int required for spells but unless someone at FS realizes how insane 30 percent punishment is and reduces it to 5-7, this'll forever be way outclassed by 40 dex + Radagon sadly.

[@penrilfake]

Something nice about this build is that it does allow for Str Int weapons that have powerful Ashes for invasions, like Radhan's old blades for the pulls.

[@karacwolting3053]

Nobody respects the lightning balls

[@_g_h_]

I'm sorry but Sto would be crying like Iron Eyes Cody at this shit dude, flat defense does NOTHING at 200. You can easily get hit by PVE, respec, then get hit by the same attack to test the difference in just a few minutes. For example, going from 16 to 80 str on my RL164 takes physical defense from 139 to 170. The banished knight at Church of the Eclipse landing the big wind woosh shield jump attack goes from doing 458 to 439; a 4% difference, which is fuckall. The difference will be even smaller the larger (and more threatening) an incoming hit is. The only time this will go positive over a damage penalty is if you use soreseal(s) against baby seal hosts with unupgraded, pure physical weapons.
