This Sanguine Noble Bleed Build in Elden Ring is TOO GOOD

This week with the Secret Starting Class series, we take a look at the Sanguine Nobles! Check out this BLOODY build using the Bloody Helice, the Reduvia, Dynast's Finesse, and the Sanguine Noble set to bleed out all remembrances in the Lands Between... even Malenia!

This run just feels so nice compared to what Cast or Pass: Blood Incantations Vs. Aberrant (Thorn) Sorceries will probably be. I wish you luck for whenever you decide to tackle those.

[@legendarywolfgeneral5572]

To be fair, the blood incants are pretty good, some of them anyway, bloodflame claws would certainly be a cast at least

[@StanleyG23]

@@legendarywolfgeneral5572 Yeah, but he has to beat Sewer Mohg with Swarm of Flies to get Bloodflame Talons, and Sewer Mohg is immune to status effects so he'll probably need the help of the Dung Eater to defeat Sewer Mohg.

Loving the slow evolution of Tulok's Malenia commentary as he does more and more runs and gets better and better at the fight. We've gone from "waterfowl dance is literally unavoidable damage" all the way to "you *can* dodge but the windows are extremely tight". True growth!

[@Hexagonaldonut]

Fun fact about Dynast's Finesse: The dodge and the thrust are directionally independent, meaning the thrust *does not* have to be directed in the opposite direction of the dodge. Actually leveraging this in practice has a bit of a learning curve to it, but it means you can dodge to the side (or even forward) and still attack directly with it. This can have very funny effects when dodging *towards* an enemy that's chasing you down and thus not at all prepared for you to be in their face shoving a giant needle into it.

I fell asleep watching one of the longer Tulock videos and had the most vivid dream that he was my roommate and I asked him what D&D was and he beat the shit out of me for some reason, like really went to town on me, stepped on my hands and everything. Needless to say, I triple checked that I am subscribed and will never ask anyone what D&D is.

You could always try doing a Carian Swordsman build, as several of the Carian Sorceries act like weapons. Good job on the video!

[@TheMARStudios]

Is nice to have a pause in the suffering and good to see this was Helice focused. Not that Reduvia run 2 wouldn't have been fun to see if you found any new tricks for it. Not sure if it still works now, but the Helice reminded me of the Antspur build I saw where someone made it do bleed, rot, poison and somehow got frostbite in there. Know it is not really viable for a starting class cause is just one person using it, but is not casting spells at least XD.

Hey Tulok I love watching your secret starting class videos I die laughing everytime , I have a suggestions for a video. A Gelmir Knight, the armor set can be acquired without killing any bosses and then all you have to do is farm weapons from knights to get the knight's greatsword or partisan and a shield if you want and use stormcaller aow. I did a run like this inspired by your videos and I had a blast would love to see you do a run with it. Keep up the awesome vids bro

I actually played my first play through of Elden ring with a build just like this except for a few things, though it was pretty much the same. I personally enjoyed it a lot, though I'll admit it can be a tricky way to play the game, but if properly skilled, it can be very OP. The Bloody Helice is just a goofy weapon, but when you learn the ash of war, it can be so useful in dodging attacks and punishing them after.

[@BDeerhead]

You should try a lightning build. Dragon Cult incantations, weapons with lightning affinity which scale off skill, Bolt of Gransax, Lansseax's Glaive, fighting enemies in the water and/or when it's raining for free attack boost. I've been having loads of fun with mine.

[@DataDrain02]

It's funny, I actually kind of agree with you that weapons are better than spells/incantations in a lot of cases.... Unless it's Night Comet, most spells are basically dodged by every enemy that can dodge. I did a "pure spell caster" run as my first one and.... Yeah for some fights. I cheaped out and used Moonvale. (Which later I traded out for Wing of Astel.) And my runs afterward used mostly melee weapons. With some incantations here and there. And... yeah, my two best characters are a Banished Knight's Greatsword user with Braggart's Roar. And a twin Bandit's Curved Sword user who uses a few incantations. Mostly buffs, occasionally the Crucible Tail and Plasudisax's Roar for Godfrey's phase transistions (and similar things.)

I love your commentary about spells vs. weapons, it mirrors my own experiences perfectly. Melee-only runs are so much easier because they're so much more simple. Attack and dodge, that's it. Juggling spells and distance and two different flasks, as well as splitting your stats and needing like 3 mandatory talismans is just too much. I love spells but for me relying on them in a build is like hard mode.
