Stat Distribution (Assuming Wretch):

Lv: 60,  VIG: base   MND: 24   END: base  STR: base   DEX: base   INT: base   FTH: 26   ARC: 40

Level up Dexterity and INT to match your weapons / ashes of war.

This build focus on leveling Arcane and Faith, creating a build that uses status effects like Bleed for the melee weapon, and supplementing damage with Dragon incantations.

Make sure to level your Strength or Dexterity to fit the requirements of your weapon and also use Ashes of War that cause Bleed buildup like Bloody Slash or Seppuku.

For Dragon incantations, you could opt for Dragonfire or Ekzykes’s Decay. This build is for late game, however, as these incantations are difficult to obtain in the early game.

If you are going for a more melee-oriented build, we also recommend putting points in Endurance.
