[@Martell276]

I like the noble swordsman build. The simplicity of a single straightsword is honest work. Alternatively, you could spec strength and two hand a straightsword (ideally the Longsword or Broadsword due to better str scaling). If you want to do busted DPS, just dual wield straight swords, turn your brain off and mash L1.

[@Floxton]

What's a good ash of for for the noble swordsman build?

[@therealMrHai]

@@DashMcdash-gz4qq you're the type of guys who squeak in frustration when seeing people use summons.

[@aquaesque3490]

it took me an embarrassing amount of time to realize that this was "best 15 builds focused on Dexterity" and not "best builds with 15 Dexterity"

[@ZachHenke]

It’s actually completely ambiguous and there isn’t a reason for it not the be “15 best” instead of “best 15”. It was especially stupid with the faith video because 15 faith is the cutoff for Flame Grant me Strength, so there are a lot of builds where you probably want 15 faith exactly.

[@Garviel-Loken]

You should not be embarrassed, fextralife should. The title is in fact stating that these are the best builds with 15 points in Dex NOT 15 individual builds focused around Dex as the main stat.

[@Kreau]

I plan to start fresh and lean into the Soul Samurai build. I love a melee build that scales off magic damage and while still providing some ranged options.

[@Knivess0]

Same, only more of the Magus Lancer.

[@Patrick-bn5rp]

The biggest draw for dex builds is probably the fact that bullet ashes of war scale better with the stat.

[@ewanjohnston5947]

What do you mean by bullet ashes?

[@Patrick-bn5rp]

@@ewanjohnston5947 Projectile ashes of war. Hoarfrost stomp, storm blade, etc. I don't know that faith bullet ashes like sacred blade get a boost from dex, though.

[@sovelis7727]

Just a note about two handing weapons - Most Ashes of war DO NOT get extra strength scaling from two handing the weapon. That narrows the gap quite a bit between strength and dex for any build revolving around an ash of war. That being said, I do find that strength tends to have more options compared to dexterity. Another place were dexterity can shine is with "bullet" ashes of war. Any bullet ash of war that has a base keen, quality, lightning or cold affinity will scale well with dex.

[@BigBuegi]

What do you mean by “bullet”, would unsheathe count seeing as how it’s an instant cast so to speak? I find more options buffing charged or successive abilities and I feel like I’m almost forced into certain types of builds because of lack of talismans.

[@sovelis7727]

@@BigBuegi a bullet Ashe of war is any type that does damage with something other than the weapon itself, like a projectile. For example, storm blade or ice spear. The ones that scale with dex have a default affinity of keen, quality, lightning or cold.

[@Slykillful]

I love playing lightning dex/faith build with the Cragblade and bolt of gransax

[@pixsouls7474]

Just so everyone knows, while projectile ashes do scale with different stats, they do not decide the damage based off how high the scaling is on the weapon. This is commonly repeated misinformation. An S scaling keen Urumi will do the same damage with thunderbolt as an A scaling keen caestus. Only the amount you have in the dexterity stat (and another hidden silly modifier) decide the damage.

[@CrappyCar]

I always give up on parry builds so quickly. I may have to try with Golden Parry. Looking forward to a new weapon video!

[@marcofurtado5459]

Starting a new game with dual wielding Thrusting swords (Rogiers Rapier and Estoc). Super fun

[@logan9042]

The lightning spear can be gotten early game. You get to the capital via one of the portals in the lake. The one with the regen talisman. Then you use the taunters tongue (which you got from killing the invader in the round table area). You will need to pop a fingers remedy. Wait there till you are invaded and the invader comes up the elevator to kill you. You now have access to the capital. You can then get to the spear by jumping from the roof of the little building right at the base of the spear to the ledge on the right side. It will take you a couple times. Quite and reloaded reset aggro after you get there then climb the spear. It's requires like 60 levels worth the stats so be careful about leveling before you get it. Flies away.

Dunno about you, but best ever starter build is just run for naginata and own the game. Then add any second spear and L1 through the game.

[@oneupkev]

Bring on the 15 best bonk builds. Strength all the way!

There are no bonk builds. There is just bonk build! You bonk and you bonk hard. You get better bonking weapon? You bonk with better weapon. You can bonk with two weapons now? Bonk with two weapons for more bonk!

[@thegreycrusader]

Looking forward to the weapons showcase and the subsequent build!

[@wikidwisurdzzz49]

Solid strategy to kill the grafted scion for Ornamental Straight sword is to choose either Vagabond or Confessor and abuse Square Off. It also works out with your stats for Golden Champion later on

[@LJK69420]

Babe wake up, fextralife just dropped a new elden ring video

[@mobron3099]

TLDW; In this build we will be using the (weapon with high critical strike) with the ash of war (ash that poisebreaks)

[@obi-wankenobi4846]

What are the attribute allocation for the supreme samurai lvl 50

[@tonydeluna8095]

Warm up builds for the upcoming DLC noice!

[@desmond-qv8cr]

you should do a fai/int build ive been looking for one

[@legi0n47x]

Sort of a bummer that best melee builds nowadays are basically what is the best buffed L2 you can utilize.

[@MrMeskiroman]

Will you post same/simillar video with INT, Faith adn STR?

[@Fextralife]

Hopefully! I have a lot of content that I'm working on and it takes time to produce and do research but it's the idea to cover all.

[@Ilmi9n9me]

I recommend you to do a Flintstone Kris build if you want to go whit daggers

[@joshhayes3433]

Yabba-dabba-do!

[@BiZkWiK87]

"Bahhhney!"

[@Hydra_X9K_Music]

Bruh now i really want a weapon called Flintstone Kris xD

[@godofhypersapce4570]

I know your probably not taking build requests until the DLC, but if possible, could you make an "Placadusax's disciple" Where you use both dragon breath and lighting incantations, and if possible to throw in the Dragon King's Cragblade or the Bolt of Gransax, or maybe another dragon based weapon, but if that would be impossible/not worth it stat wise, just keep it full caster

[@seenbeen1110]

cant wait to make a supreme samurai build

[@RighteousMr]

Im abit confused, so can i go from the noble swordsman build to bloodhound as they are both based on dex?

[@therealSeaI]

Yep

[@162agony]

Great video

[@adorability7]

thank you!!!! thank you!!!

[@rowan6501]

What’s the drip for supreme samurai, and the drip for bushido blackflame?

[@Schmankman91]

I will go for the dragon halberd quality build in a new run. So i can try new weapons in dlc

[@Dcll8451]

I fuck with this heavily I did a dex faith build day one and everyone laughed but I knew creativity and patches would come through. Haven’t played since my first play through not even NG 😂

[@AlphaDwg]

Someone send this to Kai 😂

[@ThefrenziedMercury]

Just to know as someone who just heard of him from the rage quit compilation, what build does he have?

[@Louismsb0907]

​@@ThefrenziedMercury he used a duel Katana build, his was quite meh since Katana two handing is quite bad

[@alpenjodel24]

New player here, is there a viable build with a sword that does not use mana and is not dual-weild? Something like just a katana or longsword without weapon spells/skills? I really hate managing mana/fp

[@HungNguyen-jk5ll]

Could be achieved using Colossal Weapons like the (Gut's) Greatsword you can find in Caelid. Very popular and beginner friendly. Any guard counter builds are great. Keep in mind you're severely limiting yourself. Ashes of War are a big part of this game, so are spells and incantations. Ashes of War needs no level requirements and most of them use very little fp so I would recommend trying them out I always say that a Vigor build is best for beginners picking up the game for the first time. Invest in Vigor (health) and you will have a much more enjoyable time playing the game 😊

[@canadasyrup2125]

Can you do strength or int next?

[@dibelmont7463]

Pls make a video guide with the rosus axe

[@mitchyslickbro]

I did a playthrough as the soul samurai. Dam it was a lot of fun and the build absolutely slapped!!

[@SomeTallGuy02]

Could someone explain the difference between one handing vs two handing. Is he saying it would be better just to keep it in one hand and not bother with two handing?

[@AtomicRooster52]

Two handing does more damage than one handing

[@drakusmero104]

Also, anyone running the noble swordsman NEEDS to stay away from NG+. The additional poise will be noticeable during boss fights

[@Martell276]

Yep. I also noticed I can't even break the wooden greatshield of godrick soldiers with a single R1 square off in NG+

[@duchuyedisonvu]

nice

[@C0ldFlame2682]

Storm blade is honestly goated

can you make a high level build? like 3 stats are soft cap 80, weapons that scales on 3 stats

[@UnreliableUsername]

Great video but its very PVE focussed would be nice to see how these builds look in PVP too

[@latenight-enjoyer6111]

No info about the stats? :(

[@Duck3Dblender]

how do you get the nagikiba in limgrave early? i thought you had to do Yura's questline?

[@heyitsfinnvr7365]

You can kill him for it but I still wanted to do the quest line, which means it’s not exactly an early game build unless your willing to kill him

[@FormerPotential]

Great builds but I would've have loved to see the NG+ build 9f dual Antspur Rapiers, winged sword insignia, prosthesis, kindred rot, and bloods exulatation. Putting a bleed ash of war on the swords let's them do both bleed and rot and since they are small rapiers they can attack and apply affects really fast. This allows constant stacking buffs and lots of damage and stagger potential.

[@SAKE42able]

We wanna Dragon builds

[@subject8776]

Strength next? 👹

[@brittle1]

Are these the best 15 builds based on dex, or are these the best builds with 15 dex only? 🤔

The Nagakiba is in Altus Plateau, not Limgrave

You can get it early on if you kill him instead of advancing his questline when you first meet him

@@insane3060 True , i made it

[@leopart7600]

so many builds and none without newbie magic

[@andreygorelov9558]

Just a note to everybody else. Fextralife makes content based on the hype of the game. His website, his crew and himself might be knowledgeable on the basis, but overall they dont know what they are talking about. Just make sure you dont get your hopes up watching this video that build is amazing or easily achieved (some require you to get to late late game to be activated)
