What is the best bleed build rn?

[txqwo]

This is my first souls game so im not a great player and saw how op blood loss is. So i was gonna start making a build around that. So what's the overall best? There's ROB, bandit curve swords, twinblades and all that so what should i go for?

[JustKampi]

Probably RoB, but its a preatty lategame weapon.

If you want bleed, i reccomend you morgot's or mohgs weapon.

Nah, ROB is very easy to see coming and puts you in a locked animation. Best bleed builds are the ones using seppuku with crazy dual blade 4-hit jumping action or reach nagitanas. You have to try and catch rolls or one shot.

2x any curved swords + jump attacks = GG

scavenger acult curved sword get them from farming near forth church of marika, also the flamberge and the banished knight blood greatsword look good

I'm running a twinblade and a godskin peeler with seppuku on both. Got them maxed out with 50 arcane and im doing 131 or something bleed per hit (plus seppuku). Jump L1 just kinda tears through health bars like nothing.

You could have easily asked for tips or a solid build but going for bleed after seeing what it does to the game PvE and PvP is just a bad choice but you are free to do what you want. There is also the easy mode mod which does exactly that, an easier experience which may help you more and maybe you would then like to go for a full normal playthrough but thats my 2cents.

Unironic dual daggers with blood Ashes of War on them.
With high upgrades you'll have well above 100 bleed build-up for one of the fastest weapon types to be dual-wielded.
In one second you will be dealing 600+ bleed build-up easily, meaning that half a combo can bleed anything that can bleed.
Just don't get too greedy, you will have to rely on dodges dual-wielding stuff.

He wants the legit experience, not an easy difficulty setting.

Also, true easy modo is high int magic with a certain spell and spirit summon.
Or doing the rot/poison cheese whenever possible.

Going into melee is instantly not-easy modo. Even if you have a bleed build, you will need to dodge. Bleed just cuts the time you spend in close quarter combat by 2/3, which seems about right considering how HP spongy everything is.

Moghwyn spear

RoB

or the dagger that throws a blood arc on the ash

Rivers of Blood is actually a very bad PvP weapon. The weapon is dangerous until you counter the L2 move, and it can be hard countered very easily a number of different ways. It's so bad I actively hunt the Rivers of Blood users, and rarely see them anymore.

whats the easy counter? ive been playing coop with new characters and it pisses me off when somebody comes using RoB spamming corpse piler

I'll be honest, bleed builds are kinda hard to build towards early game and only really get strong late game.
A good thing to build yourself around for something easy is just a strength build where you only put points to str and vig with dex to mean weapon requirements.

I'd recommend just not using bleed, because when it inevitably gets nerfed, you'll be left having learned nothing but bad habits. Instead, I recommend you try to get good at the game.
