Key Takeaways:

  • The Anvil Hammer and Barbed Staff Spear are the main weapons for this build, both with excellent Faith scaling and holy damage.
  • The Giant Golden Arc is a powerful incantation that deals high holy damage over a wide area.
  • The optimal stat distribution for this build includes high Faith, Strength, and some Dexterity.

Weapons and Spells:

The Anvil Hammer is one of the highest damage dealers in the DLC, scaling with Faith and physical damage. It also has a strong weapon skill called Smithing Art Spears, which deals massive damage and can stun enemies.

The Barbed Staff Spear has holy attacks through its special skill, Jory’s Inquisition. It can cause additional holy damage and has decent stagger potential.

The Giant Golden Arc is a favorite incantation in the DLC, dealing high holy damage in a wide horizontal area. It travels through obstacles and hits targets regardless of their position.

Stat Distribution and Equipment:

The recommended stat distribution includes high Vigor, Endurance, Strength, Dexterity, and most importantly, Faith. Strength and Faith are the primary damage attributes for this build.

Equipment choices include the Rasha armor and Horned Warrior helmet for power damage, as well as talismans like the Flock Canvas and Sacred Scorpion Charm to boost holy damage.

Strategy:

The Anvil Hammer is best used by carefully timing and chaining its weapon skills. It can deal a significant amount of damage, but players should be cautious of trading blows with bosses.

The Barbed Staff Spear is effective against trash mobs and can be used with a shield for repost gameplay. Its weapon skill, combined with the Ash of War, is particularly devastating.

The Giant Golden Arc is a great initiation tool, allowing players to unleash consecutive waves of high-damage arcs. It is especially effective against enemies weak to holy damage.

Obtaining the weapons:

The Anvil Hammer can be found at the Ruined Forge Lava Intake, while the Golden Arc incantation is located in the Ruins of Un near the Castle Watering Hole. The Barbed Staff Spear requires defeating Jory in the Dark Light Catacombs.
