Notes from Author
This is a versatile Black Knight cosplay that can perform well in PVP and PVE. The build revolves around the Black Knight Gear set, and the Black Knight Great Axe. The BKGA can be subbed for any other Black Knight weapon to switch things up and still make weight. If you prefer another weapon a re-spec of stats will likely be needed to reduce Vitality and put in other spots.
* This build ALWAYS carries a full stock of Green Bossom's!!!
* 609 damage one-handed before weapon art buff.
* Speaking of weapon arts, using your weapon art allows you to chain R1 swings into R2 swings while still active!
* CANNOT BE PARRIED WHILE 2-HANDED UNLESS YOU ARE USING A RUNNING OR ROLLING R1 ATTACK!
* Very high stamina and hit-points (you're going to need it to swing this Axe).
* A Ceastus on each hand. Right hand ceastus blessed for hp regen. Left hand ceastus simple infused for FP regen.
* Left hand ceastus also parries!
* Black Knight Shield has the highest stability in game (screw you estoc spammers), and allows you to use your weapon art one handed by pressing L2.
* Havels ring +2 and FAP Ring +2 are MANDATORY to make weight, so you may want to dump a few extra in vitality until you can acquire those +3 rings. Then re-allocate later at Rosaria's Bed Chamber
* Players who have parry confidence may switch out the Ring of Steel Protection +2 for a hornet ring,Chloranthy +2, or whatever stoneplate ring they choose for jolly co-op. The Steel Protection ring is on there to "practice" parrying, so you can take more damage, till you sharpen your skills and feel ready for the hornet ring.
THIS BUILD IS A LOT OF FUN!
