Any pure melee GIGACHADS out here?

[Karnarax]

I mean magic is ez mode. Tell me your builds you amazing warriors!

[bAllu]

i do have a build, i powerstance grafted blade greatswords and look like gigachad

[Funpire]

99 vigor

[gachi is manly]

powerstancing 2 zwei's.

Still feels pretty busted, I dunno. Certainly there's more busted spells and weapon arts out there, but the sheer damage of powerstancing two colossal swords is no joke.

[Sabaithal]

Longsword + Brass shield

And a crossbow if I really need it. Can't go wrong with the basics.

Its honestly not terribly difficult so I don't feel like a "chad" in any way.

I mean ♥♥♥♥ dies ultra fast with colossal weapons and shields let you cheese most bosses, so I'm not sure there's much "Chadding" to be had here.

Does weapon art spam count?

Strength build with all my stats into; Vigor, Endurance, Strength. I put a little into dex to use a greatbow and short bow.

♥♥♥♥ dies ultra fast to colossal weapons? like what you can do 2k+ with a jump attack and royal knights resolve. Compare that to one laser of sword of night and flame which does like 5k+. And that's not even busted at all compared to the 20k you can do with infinite fp physik and comet azur or astel meteor. All of that from safe range. And seriously, who uses shields?!

Seems like a nice knight build. Good luck to you sire!

A guide author I like on Youtube is pure melee: SweetJohnnyCage. Does all his bosses without summons or magic, definitely knows his game. Good narration also, almost always puts up his stats at the end.

I will check them out. Thank you!

Maybe. But it’s way slower still.

Sorry, didn't realize we were discussing tip of the spear busted ♥♥♥♥, just thought we were talking about whether Str builds were strong enough to easily manhandle most of the content (they are).
