    Couple folks have been curious about Bloodflame blade so I ran a quick DPS test on a nearby Evergaol. This build procced bleed in 4 hits for a total of 1963 with Seppuku active.
    You can't use Bloodflame blade on Godskin Peeler after it's been changed to Bleed or Occult so I made it Keen to test it out. Took close to 8 hits to proc a bleed and the overall damage was much lower. Maybe with a default weapon that has built-in bleed like a Uchi it might be more viable but it's definitely not work it if you're using any of the 3 weapons showcased in the build.

    For anyone that isn't a huge fan of twinblades, I greatly recommend running with the Cross Naginata. You can find it in Gael Tunnel and it's fucking bonkers. One hit bleeds people 95% of the time in pvp, and so far it hasn't taken more than 5 hits to bleed a boss. This is all because it has innate bleed already, so when Seppuku gets added onto that, shit gets wild

    With the bleed buff talisman you don't need to make an enemy bleed. It's any bleeding so using Seppuku proc's the effect. Having Seppuku on my dual katana set up(the big washing pole in my main hand and a normal in the offhand) enemies and bosses get blood loss in 2-3 hits. Might take 5 if their resistances to bleed is higher.

    @FightingCowboy - A couple of REALLY weird things I've come across using the Ekzykes's Decay breath.
    -If you do it mid air with the sacred seal in your left hand you can only get one quick shot.
    But if you do it mid air with the sacred seal in your right hand, you can do the full extended breath, same as the ground.
    -If you cast the breath attack midair with a sacred seal in one hand, and a melee weapon in your other hand, and then attack with your melee weapon WHILE falling after the midair breath, you will no longer be able to use mid air Dragon breath, until you literally reload the zone, or into another zone. Resting at bonfire won't do. Has to be a full reload by traveling to a grace.

      Its effect sounds nice on paper but is actually pretty terrible. Since it only regens you up to that critical threshold. But you will most likely die by one hit either way at that threshold. Also the fact that you're never really often at that low health considering you would just chug a flask if that happens.

      It’s powerful and shreds but it’s situational. A lot of people posting those vids don’t do what cowboy did here. Properly demonstrating the build against difficult adversaries.
      Opponents like the black knife assassin will never let you cast a spell unless it’s carrion slicer. And a lot of people like to rely on summons but those aren’t always available to take aggro off you.
      Finally, as much as I enjoyed azur comet, the biggest drawback is you can’t manipulate where it shoots after casting. So enemies will take a chunk but then serve you a knuckle sandwich once they get out of its way.

    Dragon claw has a niche use vs the big stone giants, still have to mess with it but it seems when they lean down for any reason and you cast the spell its huge splash zone gets a head hit or something and I've been able to two shot those giants fairly consistently, something the spell is very good at comboing together albeit it eats fp but what's new with dragon incantations.
    Also midway through the animation you have hyperarmor something most spells lack as well as it doing a strong amount of poise dmg. Still not great for the fp but some fringe cases. Working to see if it can do similar to other big enemies with weak zones.

    Just wanted to say that your hunch that bleed is percentage based was correct. Doesn’t matter who or what you’re fighting, if you get a bleed proc off it will chunk the health bar hard.
    Great video. Would love to see an update now that Arcane scaling has been fixed in the recent gigantic patch.
    As an off-hand suggestion, I’d be willing to bet that Eleonora’s Poleblade would be amazing for this build as well. It scales off of Arcane and Dex primarily and causes blood loss buildup by default. Only downside being that you can’t change the Ash of War that’s on it.

      I have a super fun/broken dragon/faith/arcane build with both bleed DMG and holy DMG basically it's dragon communion seal on left hand and switchable with Winged Axe depending if enemies require a melee/mixed fight or ranged , right hand is normal scythe +25 enchanted with Blood and Bloodhound step ash of war. Of course the evocation is Mimic tear and for incantations i use lightning spear (which is just straight up broken and a really solid dps output with ridiculously low cast time and overall a very fast spell), Ekzykes decay (core spell, shreds everyone unless it's immune to rot), other flexible Dragon breaths (the special ones not the normal ones ofc), then i use Fortissax lightning spear incantations that just deals tons of dmg but it's a bit clunky, and erdtree heal as a supportive spell + when the mimic tear uses it it's rly rly broken especially if you stay close since you want to double scythe ur enemy often and u can choose for the mimic to either copy the double scythe or the seal. Speedran malenia basically flawlessly with this build in a minute or so she was Perma stun/blood buildup and agheels breath took like 40% HP in one blow of both first and second phases if you use it at the start it just deals so much dmg.

    The named flames are not better. They have less hyper armor, slower cast time (and a break in the animation) higher fp cost, less range, and can't be cast from horseback. All for a marginal increase in damage

      I hit the rot dragon for 22k while missing two of my buff spells on playthrough 5 with the named dragon spell. They are better

      ​@@jesseholloway7714 Are you saying that you hit something with the rot breath? because rot does percent of maximum health damage over time regardless of the source. The base damage increase is marginal. Do a proper comparison and you'll see you do just about as much damage with the regular unnamed ones. Weather that damage is worth it is subjective, and down to individual choice. The point is that they are not objectively better.

      @@nathantagg2691 just tested it again to be sure. If doing more damage isn't objectively better, then I don't know what is. It's really that simple. And the damage isn't marginal when you are scaling up your damage before a fight. I honestly don't know what else to say. Its more damage if you want to be doing less damage with worse spells then go ahead. The range also isn't less clearly you haven't tested these spells well for yourself but whatever think you are right about doing less damage.
