Arcane increases Blood Build up.

Depending on the weapon, the blood loss build-up is scaled with Arcane. If the weapon doesn't come with blood loss, you can add it with an Art of War.

level arcane, use the blood grease buff and just hit things more

[󠀡󠀡󠀡󠀡]

arcane increases build up for status effects

[Copy & Cat]

Equip an weapon art that can use blood category

[Nerevar]

imagine wanting even more broken bleed buildup lol. its already broken fast as is right now XD that nerfbat will hurt some peoples feelings once it lands.

[Polverrati]

If you can, use an ash of war that adds additional bleed. like Bloody Slash or Blood Blade.

[geistXIII]

If I'm not mistaken arcane only works for the build up if the weapon scales inherently with it. So if you have no arcane scaling on your weapon, it wont affect blood build up.

[ImHelping]

without any sarcasm, only spam will help you primarily even if you are stacking arcane or slathering bleed grease on a naturally bleed causing weapon. Unless it is one of the special chosen weapons able to do Good Bleed.

Also, a big insult in these games is no matter how often people whine and cry "Bleed is OP EZ mode!"... In most cases you are never gonna be as effective as the PvE enemies, even if you are using the weapons they had.

Enemies who can inflict turbo bleed in two hits through your bleed resistance stacking, once you get their weapon, will only give you basic generic tickle bleed *shakes fist at sawblade halberd*, or their weapon will not even cause bleed at all if you own it. *Shakes fist at DS3 sawblade machette*

This is also why you usually only see tears over a few special weapons, but nobody ever cries about a morning star and/or Spiked club even if you are power stancing.

I can't remember for sure, but I think my friend was telling me he was having his blood build up increase on the Uchi when he started pumping his Arcane stat. I could be mistaken the Uchi for another weapon though...

Personally for a bleed build, I think the Seppuku Art of War is top notch. Recently respecc'd to try something different (did a melee int build for over half the game), and put Seppuku on Uchi and Nagakiba. With the right talismans it's just blows people up. Will most likely respec again in NG+ since Bleed is pretty easy mode.

I use Claymore with Blood Scaling, mostly using str and dex. With Seppuku Ash of War and Lord of Blood Talsiman I have over 900 AR and get bleeds in a few hits

Seppuku is super late game though, OP only has a +5 weapon.

If you're using something like the Bloodhound fang I'd buff it with Bloodflame Blade incantation

im using the blood hound greatsword, forgot the exact name, im doing a dex/faith build, i also use the bloodflame blade on it, on start the weapon ahd 50 bleed build up and now 55 but i didnt manage to get it futrther, so i was wondering did that come from the +5 or what
