    Interesting combination. Definitively gonna give it a try, but there are a few things that should be mentioned:
    - Both the Blade of Calling and Black Blade's skills deal holy damage, so, as powerful as they are, they're kinda ill-suited against bosses resistant to holy damage, which includes the final boss.
    - Benharl won't be selling Assassin's Gambit in the Warmaster's Shack. You must reach Volcano Manor and do Tanith's first mission. Then Benharl will start selling ashes of war again, and when he does so, then he'll be selling Assassin's Gambit.

  • @Nightwalker170
    @Nightwalker170 2 роки тому +13

    For the flex slots (and for Roleplaying reasons) I'd recommend the crit enhancing talisman, Concealing Veil Taliman, the Crimson Dagger and the Cerulean Dagger talismans (for hp/fp sustain via crits/backstab). Additional gear in the form of a Misericord with either quick steps or Flame of the Redmanes, and purely for fun, the Mimic Veil that you find in Castle Stormveil. It is also worth mentioning that until you get the Black Knife Armor, you can either craft cotton balls to silence your steps or use Assassin's Approach. The later of the two can be used while on Torrent to silence his hooves! Happy Hunting!

  • @JohanFaerie
    @JohanFaerie 2 роки тому +84

    My suggestion to improve this is to replace the regular Dagger with Misericord. It can take ashes for Assassin's gambit, can be infused for either Dex or Faith(which would make it Dex/Faith), and has the best Crit rating so when you're stealthing around, crit fishing, you just doing that much more damage.

    Bonus tip for early version of the build: You can pick up the regular Winged Sword Insignia in Stillwater Cave, which is almost right below where you exit Godrick's castle. It's a bit worse, with 3-14% damage buff instead of 6-22%, but the benefit is that you can pick it up as soon as you're strong enough to beat the boss of said cave. If you don't plan on doing PvP or hitting NG+, it might be worth just shanking Alexander the first time you meet him for a worse version of his shard that'll last you the entire game, rather than a top tier version for the last handful of bosses.

    Okay, so hear me out because I rock a super similar build... You want to use Erdtree Dagger in your left hand instead of Blade of Calling. Erdtree dagger can have any ash of war you like and does more damage with faith/dex scaling. I find the skill on Blade of Calling too slow considering the damage is comparable to main-hand Black Knife skill which you are already using... No need to duplicate it when u can have a utility ash of war on left hand instead, like: lightning ram, bloodhound step, etc.

    So for that free talisman slot you have I would suggest using “assassins crimson dagger” it ability is “critical hits restore HP”, as an assassin that is an amazing talisman.

    A funky weapon to complement this build is the Eclipse Shotel. It scales with the same Dex/Faith as your other weapons, but has the added bonus of that partial shield-ignoring property and death blight to kill the greatshield pvpers.
    And you could get 2 to just make it even spicier if you wanted.

    I loved this build. I've been running it for a while and it ended up warping into a critical damage build. Started with Misericorde with Flame of the Redmane. Then I came to find Executioners Greataxe was hitting crits even harder and definitely better range. I don't know if it warrants a full build but I'm enjoying it quite a bit.

    • @kassandranna
      @kassandranna 2 роки тому +1

      That isn't a bug though. It temporarily reduces their max hp. When that debuff wears off it will heal them (i believe for the amount equal to the amount reduced). The same things happen with Tiche's attacks, Malekith's balde an incantation. You also experience that on yourself when you are struck by that ability from a black knife assasin or ceratin Malekiths attacks. Your max hp gets reduced, after the buff is removed, you get some hp back
