[@Taye3N]

when they ask how you are, and you say that youre fine, but youre really not fine.

[@LeoKRogue]

Having a "respectable pedigree" *DOES* mean something. It means that your Blood / Genes are really "pure" or whatever, which is why it's got the highest Bloodtinge out of every other Origin. In the Japanese version of Bloodborne, "Bloodtinge" is actually "Blood Purity." It represents the Damage that you will do with Quicksilver Bullets as the Hunter must mix their own blood with the mercury that the bullets are forged from.

[@projectorgaming9528]

I always preferred a strength build first. Once you learn to use that axe the game becomes somewhat easy. At least a whole lot more easy than doing a skill build first.

[@freshairkaboom8171]

Projector Gaming I disagree. It's easier against fodder but learning how to charge up attacks in preparation for faster enemies later is harder than dodging and weaving and having responsive attacks.

[@ThaLostVerse]

100% true, I've been playing since this game came out and Strength builds are a million times easier to play? Why? Cuz ultimately theyre better. It takes skill to play skill. Towards the end u wanna do builds that r harder to match like blood/Str and Skl/Arc.

[@gargola1887]

@@ThaLostVerse there is a blootinge stenght build?

[@ThaLostVerse]

Yeah and it has 1 weapon in the whole game that works with it. The big bloodmace thing that u rip thru urself to make it useful. No other weapon except that is Bld/Str build. Also i beat the game wit my Arc/Skl build and after Lvl 100 it becomes OP as hell. Arc/Skl also only has 2 Weapons, Eileen's little super quick blades and the scythe from the last boss.

[@gargola1887]

@@ThaLostVerse but i heard arcane is difficult to obtain..i rather blotinge

[@GeneralGuitFiddle]

They're not mentioning that any of the arcane-heavy origins will allow you to do more damage via torch and molotovs. Also more souls/blood per enemy kill. If you use your fire-based consumables and torch wisely the early game isn't that hard. Even less so if you are also pumping Strength. Once I got to the Tonitrus in my arcane build, I was very happy with the damage.

[@5trafficcone921]

oh God, the Lone Survivor apparently comes from the Fishing Hamlet! how haven't the lore channels picked up on this

[@munital1]

waste of skin in my opinion is the best one, the beginning is really easy since you don't have a boss like in dark souls 3. so you can easily start off having 15-16 in one of your preferred stats. you start with 9-10 on every stat except 7 on bloodtinge which is a really good start for everything, nothing more boring then having to level up something from lvl 6 when you have spent more then 10 h already

[@chrisvisser-fee2631]

I never found the Deprived class very difficult. You level up so fast that it only takes an hour or two to get to the starting level. I used the class on my first playthrough.

[@MrSticksASMR]

"It's for experts" he says about Waste of Skin. First time I picked up the game, that's what I went with. And now I'm on new game + as an overpowered monster.

[@TEAMNHL]

Lol

[@alliwanttosayis2144]

My family says I am no use but now I watch them burn hahahaha

[@kozhedub]

It is a harder start however, specially if you've never played any soulsborne games as you need to get through the entire first area and find the first boss with relatively garbage stats. If you've played before this shouldn't be a trouble at all but I wouldn't recommend it for a noob

[@anthrosound]

just like the deprived in DS3

[@nearboss2323]

@@kozhedub I was a noob

[@BlueKyuubi64]

I'm going to use the Kirkhammer and Ludwig's Blade so I'm going with Violent past. In 5 levels, I'll have STR at 16, SKILL at 12, VIT at 14, and END at 12 which rivals/is better than the Lone Survivor class even with 5 levels on it. Just put 2 more into SKILL later on before you get Ludwig's Holy Blade. There you go anyone who wants to use this starting build.

[@BlueKyuubi64]

***** I never thought about it like that. Yeah you're right. Thanks!

[@dexter_yours_truly]

Bloodborne player since 2018. Best build for new players is strength because easy to make, farm and progress. Later on in bloodborne experience? Pvp? Still strength. And arcane.

[@Bapfel_Editz]

Is violent past the best origin?

[@trlbloodmoon2282]

⁠@@Bapfel_Editz when it comes to dark souls games there is no best class/origin it’s just depends on what build your going and different classes makes going certain builds easier

I've yet to play this game but my ex bought it for me recently, so I'm excited to start it. I'm glad I found this video because when I played the original dark souls I had to try and test every build until I knew what path I preferred, I honestly don't want to have to do that again with Bloodborne. as fun as it was I just don't have that much free time to experiment in that way. thanks for upload guys 🤘 I'm currently contemplating the waste of skin one because that was my favorite choice on dark souls, a plank and a plank haha. awesome game DS, I hope this is too.

There is. Pick cruel fate (arcane 14) and invest into an arcane build. Even tho it’s pretty advanced, arcane builds have access to the hunter tools, which are basically spells in some cases.

want a great tip for beginners. are you tired of die in and starting at the beginning of the level. well if you shut off the application and start over and hit continue it will bring you to the last spot over and over yes little annoying but its way faster than starting at the beginningd of the level

[@wills5945]

When I play rpgs and games like this, I'm always the sorcerer, the mage, so I chose the cruel fate.... Then I found out that magic wasn't a thing, what's the first arcane weapon I can find?

[@mikegmoney7518]

below are some links that could be useful. I think its the tonitrus in the hypogean gaol location but the skimming of the guide references a considerable amount of weapons, weapons guide - bloodborne.wiki.fextralife.com/Weapons pure arcane build - fextralife.com/what-you-need-to-know-about-arcane-builds-before-bloodborne-the-old-hunters/

[@senshi910]

Wizardporn2008 well magic is a thing kinda, it just uses bullets instead. if you have the dlc you can get the kos parasite and the moonlight greatsword as weapons, and all the 'spells' in the game

[@johnhuysentruyt8310]

Wizardporn2008 I would recomend looking in the wiki for arcane magic, there are some very strong arcane tools that can obliterate your foes. If you are doing an arcane build you still want to focus on other weapons as well.

The saw spear with fire paper ir a waning bloodgem is good, also the flame sprayer after you beat gascoign

@@DanteDMC3 thanks I think I was just acting out... I’ve actually completed the game now, weird I only sent this 3 months ago

[@Drawfill]

Do what I did: do a complete build, and then just go "Fuck it". Reach the softcap of 50 on every stat before maxing out everything at 99 one by one. I' closing in on level 200 on NG++... at this point it doesnt even matter what my stats are. I have reached 50 in skill 40 in every stat exept strenght and bloodthinge... at this point I just want to be able to weild any weapon effectively so i'm gonna get every stat to 50... you don't get much more damage out of them anyway even if you level up after that...

is there a certain amount of times one can level up?

[@bubabure]

there's no limit, no, but each time you level up it becomes more expensive, and you'll reach a point where farming to level up takes way too long, and you should finish that run and continue to the next NG+

Rambling discord. Not sure who this is aimed at. Those who can't read the descriptions on the screen I guess

[@hak1010spill]

what is the best to pick?

[@JacStance]

Håkon Walderhaug Bekkeli Completely depends on how you're planning to play. What sort of weapons are you gonna use? Are you gonna rely heavily on firearms? Planning on using Arcane at all? These are all things you should figure out while planning a character.

[@hak1010spill]

well i am soon at 60 and i have little bit of everything. is that dumb?

[@JacStance]

No, a lot of people do a very spread out build their first playthrough because they don't know what they're going to like. The problem with this is that your character is less focused and it will take more levels to achieve the same damage output as a dedicated build, but you'll be more versatile. If you're planning on doing a second run I would decide what kind of build you're going to do beforehand. Choose the main weapon you want to use, this will decide if you're going to be playing with strength or skill (or both), and then decide if you want to use arcane or bloodtinge on this character at all, that should help you decide what back story is best. Everyone is going to use vitality and endurance, so it's up to you where to cap them off. Keep in mind, though, any class can become any character with a few extra levels, so it's not a huge deal.

ok i think i have 40 health and 40 damage and 15 on all the other ones.
