I like twinblade with bleed, preferably Blood Slash art of war. Easily accessible in the beginning and not overpowered like seppuku.

sepukku is a trade off, more bleed build up than dagger but you use your own blood. i'd not say its op at all especially since you need to beat a few major story bosses to get it.

Just get a fast weapon with bleed, ideally two weapons, with the talisman that boosts your damage when blood loss occurs.

You can also add seppuku to two katanas and use them both to both trigger the bloodloss talisman and also to increase the bloodloss buildup on your weapons.

I use dual blood petal whips and the area control on them is strong enough to make you vomit. I bully Melania as a way to pass the time because they stagger harder than a step dad leaving a bar.

You are required to beat 0 major story bosses to get sepuku. You have to beat the magma wyrm in ruin-strewn precipice. that's it.

he gave me an achievement so i thought he was an important boss. anyway its not the easiest thing to get compared to most things in this game so yeah its definitely not

The health cost is negligible. It's overpowered because of how much bloodloss build up it gives almost for free, you use your aow I guess. When you put bleed on a weapon you reduce the damage and scaling and need to increase Arcane if you want more build-up. Introducing seppuku, which can either add a similar amount of bleed to a non-bleed weapon, or you can stack it on top of the rest of it and proc bleed like there is no tomorrow. It's too much bleed, 139 with 60 arcane + however much Seppuku adds.

i'm to the point where AOW is better than seppuku is. maybe it gets better i don't have 50 arc yet... 45. but again, you're starting to reach end game by then. smh.

I don't know how much or if Seppuku scales with Arcane to be honest. I know that I used it to buff my bleed twinblade and I started proccing bleed with the first hit, and after that every 2nd or 3rd. On a regular weapon with no Arcane it procs the first one in 3 attacks against a giant.

40 and 60 arcane do not have much of a difference when it comes to bleed build-up.

neither do i, as arcane was supposed to be broken all this time so it might have been fixed but blood slash does same amount of damage it did before seemingly.

[yannypr]

All of them, I think

[Oku]

Level Dex > Faith > Arcane in that order of importance. Claws with Keen scaling, Bloodhound Step or Lifesteal Fist as your ash of war, Bloodflame Blade and Swarm of Flies as your two main spells.

Arcane was bugged for weapons that scaled innately with Arcane, like Eleanora's Twinblade and Rivers of Blood. Weapons were you added Arcane scaling through art of war were fine. To be precise, all scaling was bugged for those weapons. Blood Slash was nerfed slightly, I may not even have noticed had I not read the notes (apart from the health cost).
