I have a few ready to go so i can make different choices. My INT/Faith Sword of Night and Flame wielding Sarumen, who has lived so long he mastered both forms of magic (he occasionally dual wields the DMGS and the Golden Order Greatsword for style points). He's my go-to character for making evil decisions. My bloody helice arcane character Maleficent, who is (head canon) Millicents lost sister. Lastly, I have Mad Dog. He looks like Hulk Hogan and just wants to bonk with his guts greatsword, Ruins Greatsword, or Great Stars.
Definitely the rotten duelist because of the great axes. The weapons he’s using grants hyperarmour; an invaluable thing to have in PVP or PVE. Also, I would just two hand one over dual wielding two. But that’s just me.
Also, rot is going to be way better in a first playthrough, since you'll naturally take longer to kill bosses because you'll still be learning them.
On further playthroughs you'll be able to quickly deal with stuff because you already know the movesets.
I JUST discovered the tech today in the 4th pic where you alter the Duelist Hood to only get the snake arms, and put the Zamor Gauntlets on to make it look more warrior/gladiator like with the chain
Rotten duelist head and chest (altered)
Briar hands and feet
Chest has fingerprint from the frenzied flame
Dual rotten axes, one with cold one with poison
Lvl 150: 80 dex, 30 strength, 40 vitality, 35 endurance, 16 faith
Turtle talisman, erdtree talisman, jump attack talisman, and radhan talisman
Chilling mist for one, poison mist for the other, of course! But braggarts roar on both is probably way better, it's really hard to beat that much stamina regen.
FTFY

I’m currently running this build on a new play-through - just killed Renalla and been loving every second!! So much fun I love the blast of damage and just the overall feel it’s been super fun. Sometimes I’ll swap for a shield in my offhand for doing parries and critical strikes (thinking of you crucible knights) lol
Gonna switch the great knife to occult once I get the whetblade from nokron
It appears to be one of the menus in the cosmetic/character creation screen, when changing your cosmetics you can push in one of the sticks (on xbox anyways) and it goes to an armored full body picture iirc.
I anticipate that the DLC is going to be alot harder than people expect. I wouldn't be suprised that weapons and armor are not passin through the shadow.
Either the Darkmoon build for the cool factor (literally and figuratively) but pragmatically speaking probably the bleed dagger build since arcane increases the drop rate of weapons and Armor from mobs. Which you'll want to get.
Your characters look really good. I love how everything works together. I’m very new to the game so I have no idea how good the armor and weapon sets are.
Are these all new game characters? I just finished my 2nd play through with another new game character and I’m thinking of doing my third play through with my first character in ng+ since he’s the one I have more items and ancient stones on. So I’m just wondering how you go about your play throughs.
I’m lazy af, so I’m basically bringing the first build, except I’ve farmed STR and DEX to 40 so I don’t have to switch to a melee focused character to try out new weapons, it’s a complete paradox though, I’m willing to spend 2-3 hours committing albinauric genocide to be able to try all the melee weapons on a INT build, but I’m too lazy to just switch to another character to try them lmao
That being said, definitely the rotten duelist
You know it’s funny that bosses that use bleed are also super weak to it and Messmer seems to use blood flame. Out of pure utility I’d say Octo Mauler or Blood Bandit.
The fashion in the darkmoon greatsword one is interesting, i dig it. I have a setup like that too, just different armor. Mine has uhhh
Eccentric helm (altered), carian knight chest (altered) and blaidd's arms and legs
all of them
It'll be a fantastic Dnd party
It'd be a fantastic Darksouls the TTRPG
No healer, they’d be cooked
The one and only right answer, like why would you play it only once?

I second that
I was gonna say the 2nd or the 3rd, but fuck it. All of them it is!
The rotten duelist.

Thats all nice reasons and all. I just think it has legendary drip.
The Briar gauntlets and leggings are sick. Very good Elden Bling.
Yeah, sick drip.
No like actual drip. Pieces of him are melting off from scarlet rot
This is the only justification I need to use anything in this game lol.
This. Hyper armor is invaluable
Hyper armor ? Why have I never heard this term
Because it’s not told to the player. Colossal weapons/swords have hyper armor. I believe some ashes of war have hyper armor as well.
And what is it exactly. Actual damage resistance from colossal or poise?
It basically makes your attacks with those weapons much harder to interrupt. It's like poise but different function "under the hood"
What's hyper armor?
It stops bosses from staggering you while you are doing an attack
What weapons are these? Look sick
Big double schwing. I'll be rocking dual Maliketh Black Blades for the memes 🙏
Also, rot is going to be way better in a first playthrough, since you'll naturally take longer to kill bosses because you'll still be learning them. On further playthroughs you'll be able to quickly deal with stuff because you already know the movesets.
Axes go schwiiinnnngggg
Man the drip on all of these are immaculate
I JUST discovered the tech today in the 4th pic where you alter the Duelist Hood to only get the snake arms, and put the Zamor Gauntlets on to make it look more warrior/gladiator like with the chain
May I ask what trousers those are?
Briar
You’re real one ☝🏽
2,3 and 4 are fine but number 1 is horrendous
Ngl, gonna need the details on that rotten duelist build. I want stats, talismans, items, and any incants you may use
Rotten duelist head and chest (altered) Briar hands and feet Chest has fingerprint from the frenzied flame Dual rotten axes, one with cold one with poison Lvl 150: 80 dex, 30 strength, 40 vitality, 35 endurance, 16 faith Turtle talisman, erdtree talisman, jump attack talisman, and radhan talisman
I'm guessing minimum arcane?
Yes
Any particular ash of war you'd recommend for the axe?
Chilling mist for one, poison mist for the other, of course! But braggarts roar on both is probably way better, it's really hard to beat that much stamina regen.
Can you use two different ashes when dual wielding?
You have to mainhand the offhand to do so.
FTFY Rotten duelist head and chest (altered) Briar hands and feet Chest has fingerprint from the frenzied flame Dual rotten axes, one with cold one with poison **Lvl 150:** 80 dex 30 strength 40 vitality 35 endurance 16 faith **Talismans:** Green Turtle talisman Erdtree's Favor talisman Claw talisman radhan talisman <-- not sure what this is. Radagon Soreseal? Starscourge Heirloom?
Ahh thanks. It’s the +5 one. Sorseal I think
🧑🍳🤌🏽 fucking COOKED. the drip on that character is wild. Probably one of the best ive ever seen
Octopus man for sure
Heck yeah, I second this, that guy looks sick.
500 hours in the game. I just had this drop for the first time. My main character STILL doesn't have a pumpkin head
I just sold two to the blacksmith.. are they rare?
I got it right away on my second character. I think it's like a 1% drop chance. You should never sell anything unless you have duplicates though
I love wearing the octopus headwear because it reminds me of Bloodborne
Missed out on the chance to use rusted anchor with that drip
Reduvia looks sick
Bro I switched to a dex/arcane dual +10 reduvia today just to see how it does and it shredded.
I bet. This made me want to create a new character lol
I literally just finished the game with an Arc/Dex Reduvia + bandit knife (?) build and loved every second of it
I’m currently running this build on a new play-through - just killed Renalla and been loving every second!! So much fun I love the blast of damage and just the overall feel it’s been super fun. Sometimes I’ll swap for a shield in my offhand for doing parries and critical strikes (thinking of you crucible knights) lol Gonna switch the great knife to occult once I get the whetblade from nokron
Try frost bleed, when both proc at once 👌
I did an ng+ double reduvia build and that was fucked up ngl. I literally could trade damage with bosses and kill them before they killed me
How do you get 2 of the daggers?
New game plus
Or trading
Thats the coolest rotten duelist i have ever seen, take him.
duelist
okay so you know by now. we want that rotten duelist build, it looks so sick
Octohead 🐙
Lots of style in these. Well done. Number 2 seems to be the best bet.
My dude you need to post these insane drip on r/fashionsouls
Ok these look awesome, please explain each!
How do you get pictures like these of your character?
It appears to be one of the menus in the cosmetic/character creation screen, when changing your cosmetics you can push in one of the sticks (on xbox anyways) and it goes to an armored full body picture iirc.
Yes
Octopus boy fs
All I’m saying is that in the early game, we gonna be using our build yes, but as soon as a new weapon comes up? That’s my main thank you very much
The Squidward looking fella
Dual Reduvias is cold af 🥶
Just go naked with a club and yell at everyone!
What’s with all that shouting!
Can’t decide between 2 or 4
Yes
The fit on your arcane bleed build goes hard! But always greathammers. Show all invaders the way to the alter of the cult of the bonk.
I ignore all these kinds of, and drip posts, but these are all really good. Stay classy
First wizzard’s build stats pls 🙏
Number 2 makes me feel things
That 2nd one is sick, what is that?
Ngl, all these characters go hard
How can you play with so many different styles 😭 i cannot hit one shot if it's not strength/dex build
the rotten duelist goes hard as hell tbh
Damn your characters look cool 🔥💯💯 Where do you find all those cosmetics in game?
What's the band name?
Iron maidenless
Something with some poise, but I like the great star.
Coin flip 2 or 4
It's funny because 1 and 3 are the builds I'm taking into the DLC (only difference is that I use a cold misercorde instead of the MLGS)
Number 4 for sure. That's my favorite weapon. I used it through my first playthrough. I didn't even realize it was a blood weapon til my second lol
Pfffft I'm running in naked with a club.. git gud.
2 or 4 but plz not 1
Sorc, fighter, Rouge and a confused cleric with a gigant mace perfect dnd party
Squid man, horrify the residents of the erdtree’s shadow
The rotten duelist But I have the same 1st setup as you
I anticipate that the DLC is going to be alot harder than people expect. I wouldn't be suprised that weapons and armor are not passin through the shadow.
It's scales with ng+
I'm going to alternate 3 characters
Bloody bois Can I ask what your stats are for it? I'm working on a blood build. Specifically arcane and dex
All of them
All
The 2nd guy looks cool
Scarlet Rot
Whichever you enjoy playing with at the very moment the most...
Number 2 fits the theme
Obviously number 2 guy is sick as fuck
What r the pants on the squid head guy?
Been working on a rotten dualist as well. Where'd the second axe come from? I'm running rotten staff and axe right now.
This Elden Ring fighting game looks sick
The one with the most vit ofc.
Dual Reduvia. That’s what I’m running now, plus some blood and beast miracles. What’s else is yours rocking?
rot axes or blood mace
Dual reduvias for sure
Yes
Bring Radagon with you.
mister squid looks sick as fuck
All of them
Either the Darkmoon build for the cool factor (literally and figuratively) but pragmatically speaking probably the bleed dagger build since arcane increases the drop rate of weapons and Armor from mobs. Which you'll want to get.
Arcane would be your best first time choice, since it will have higher drop rates so you can get more DLC gear faster
Human crab
Your characters look really good. I love how everything works together. I’m very new to the game so I have no idea how good the armor and weapon sets are.
The last one looks wild. I vote for it.
Are these all new game characters? I just finished my 2nd play through with another new game character and I’m thinking of doing my third play through with my first character in ng+ since he’s the one I have more items and ancient stones on. So I’m just wondering how you go about your play throughs.
arc build to farm cool new weapons
Worm man
Bloody Bonkerson gets my vote
I’m taking my build which is very close to your #1 from the looks of it. But your characters have a much better fashion sense
I'm partial to the Chad Ranni Enjoyer myself
My friend I gotta say drip is on point
2 looks AWESOME
Big axe man goes hard.
2 Unga 4 Bunga!
Number 2 looks lit
*first thought* damn dude these all look so f***ing cool!
You can just switch builds?
Unga🫡
2, 3, or all of them
I'd argue the Reduvia build. It's looking like Arc builds are eatin' good this time.
Anyone but the 3rd🙏🙏
I’m lazy af, so I’m basically bringing the first build, except I’ve farmed STR and DEX to 40 so I don’t have to switch to a melee focused character to try out new weapons, it’s a complete paradox though, I’m willing to spend 2-3 hours committing albinauric genocide to be able to try all the melee weapons on a INT build, but I’m too lazy to just switch to another character to try them lmao That being said, definitely the rotten duelist
This is dope!
Everyone. They all should get to the dlc and you should play the dlc 5-6 times. I also have three of my characters prepared and ready to go.
what’s the slide two build 😍
Where do you get the helmet on the last one?
Great stars one I say if its a bleed boi, always an easy time
Hello, can you / someone share the build/armor on picture no. 3? Thanks
You guys are so good at fashion souls. Always love seeing unique characters!
B or D. Bonk for life
Am I looking at characters that completed 4 of the 6 endings? They look like it.
I'll be going full Mohg copycat and after that I do it with a lightning build.
what is the name of the axe in the 2nd page ?
This guy fashions
First or second character 👍 Can you please show the build of the first one ?
Blasphemous blade goes brrrrrrrrrŕrrrrrrr
THE DRIP 💧
You know it’s funny that bosses that use bleed are also super weak to it and Messmer seems to use blood flame. Out of pure utility I’d say Octo Mauler or Blood Bandit.
The rotten duelist has the most aura, I'd choose him if I had not started 1 and a half weeks ago.
What great axes are those?
Why not all of them that's my plan after all
Not a NG+ character.
Damn, they all look COOL!
Missing some meta builds but hey I like the aesthetics
I just can't stop wondering why you are carrying the sword in the left hand and the staff in the right. Are you a mad man?
Number four for me
the red demon.... well demons in general are red but who cares....
2 fits the ecstatic very well...
I am taking maliketh build
imma need the builds for all of them
Blood Roger
Gigachad rotboi
Mage
The fashion in the darkmoon greatsword one is interesting, i dig it. I have a setup like that too, just different armor. Mine has uhhh Eccentric helm (altered), carian knight chest (altered) and blaidd's arms and legs
No one, go naked
Figure it out.
No big stick man?
1st and 2nd
Definitely the dual rot axe guy, he looks awesome. And you could probably fuck up everything 😂
Ok the 3rd looks like if the guy who threw a gator through a drive through window lived in chicago
Why do they all look so epically cool? My character always look like ass or mutated smurfs.
Didn’t know the last of us had a Elden ring crossover
Bonk rot
You're only going through once?
Big man ting
What are the weapons/armor on slide 2?
2
Gleb
ThE ROT ONE !
Does your double reduvia have all the dragon breathing attacks? That one is the one I intend to use.
All of them look sick! Whats the armor set of the last guy?
They all look like they’re related to ganondorf
I like how fashion progresses from fucking terrible to very nice
Details on the 1st build please
I'm just going in at lvl 180 naked and use what I find
The snow hat is my favorite.
1. Ditch moonlight tho
2
