You failed the challenge earlier in the game by using knives to lure the cavalry off the edge

[@tibaronmagnus3672]

Love this run lmao, was kinda hoping for more Snake Shield love, since it actually procs something called "Deadly Poison" which does like double the damage normal poison does, but lasts 30 seconds as opposed to 90 seconds. The only way to get around this is a poison infusion, which only works on the snakebite fist weapons, resulting in 90 seconds of deadly poison, which is basically as strong as scarlet rot (AND CAN BE STACKED WITH IT).

The crazy thing is that this build can get even more broken if you use guard counters and the guard counter damage enhancing talisman.

True, i havenst really utilized Guard Counters alot, kinda forgot they existed haha

Fair enough, bosses don’t stagger when you block them

@@FartSticksXDlol guard counters are still useful against bosses with great shields. Need to learn when their attack chain ends.

Toto took "a good defense is a good offense" to heart (captain lands between would be proud)

[@zs1570]

If someone wanted to try a less cheesy version of this build without 2 handing the shield, dragonbolt blessing is great for its hardness 2 buff which reduces the recoil when blocking and even allows you to block heavier weapons/attacks.

[@tototriceps]

Good point!

[@Vaderburg]

The ant’s skull plate shield has a default hardness of 3 without needing a buff and every other great shield has a default hardness of 2. so the blessing would only apply to unblocked attacks but the other buffs from dragon bolt would probably be great for turtling with a base great shield.

[@zs1570]

@@Vaderburg Theres a few problems with this. When you are invading your shield has no hardness anymore in PvP, so you still need dragonbolt blessing as barricade shield is considered apart of the shield. So you don't get hardness 4 from it. There is also the small issue that dragonbolt blessing lasts twice as long compared to barricade shield. (20 sec vs 10). Furthermore often times shields themselves cannot be infused with ashes of war, especially the best greatshields. Lastly, only greatshields have hardness 2 by default. Medium shields (such as the brass shield, which is insanely popular for being the best medium shield) only have hardness 1 by default. And small shields have no hardness whatsoever, such as the parry buckler.

[@a.gabrielarchibald5291]

I did this run myself a couple months ago and I found it quite interesting, the Visage Shield is definitely the best offensive shield by far, and spike and fingerprint are situationally useful especially against NPCs, although I did struggle vs Malenia I tried many setups but at the end I just got her with the Visage Shield and a LOT of patience...

[@BigHatLoganGaming]

One of the most satisfying things a strength build can do is full trade into an attack and just say no to taking damage with a shield bash

[@tototriceps]

Good point actually!
