ignore blasphemous blade, its lame, use gargoyles black sword. faster AoW and higher damage with better move set. triple rings of faith is a great spell, keep Flame grant me Strength, and rock sling. Use rock sling or quick enemies, as you can poise break with it then get a ez swing off.

As i said its new campaign not NG+ both of these weapons are late game.

Blasphemous is more or less mid game. Rykard is pretty easy, especially if you upgrade the Serpent Hunter.

faith spells really aren't worth using unless you're pure faith build offense spells aren't worth using
Pretty much faith would just be used for buffs.
get 30 faith and whatever amount of str.
Offense options are only beast spells.

Level 26 Faith and below is Finger Seal

Level 27 - 69 Faith is Godslayer's Seal

Level 70 and up Faith is Erdtree Seal

I say those Seals specifically and not any other because healing spells only scale off of the Faith portion of a Seals scaling. Even something like a Clawmark Seal with 99 Faith and 99 Strength is going to heal less than a basic Finger Seal with 20 Faith.

Pumping Faith for better healing leans into the Paladin vibe. I like to take all blue flasks and only heal with spells. It's actually very efficient. With 38 Mind, 80 Faith, +10 Erdtree Seal and max blue flasks you can heal 83,000 HP with Lord's Heal. It's a LOT of healing and you don't have to go that hard into Faith and Mind to hit the tens of thousands of healing. For comparison, 14 +12 red flasks with the talisman to buff them heals 13,608.

Increasing Faith a bunch also improves the Ash of War for Siluria's Tree, Strength does too, and that thing hits like a truck! You can make it do like 3000 damage per hit.

Im starting a new campaign not NG+ what is the armaments for early - mid - late game?

Finger Seal for the starting seal and for weapons anything with Flame infusion works. You can get both the Seal and the Red Hot Whetblade on a new character without fighting anything. The Flamberge is right next to the Red Hot Whetblade too and is one of my favorite weapons. Flamberge with Flame infusion and Wild Strikes or Lion's Claw is pretty good. All acquirable immediately on starting a new character, you just have to run there, and only Lion's Claw requires you to kill something.

Elden Stars is fairly good poise damage. I threw it at that castle sol knight I've seen so many memes about when I finally found him, he went down like a chump (using a god-spell on a regular enemy overkill? nahhh).

For mid/late, the crucible weapons are fantastic (make sure to grab Godfrey Icon), with Blasphemous Blade in your back pocket for tree enemies and highly hold resistant stuff. Fire damage has good buff stacking because of Flame Grant Me Strength.

Early on, Golden Halberd or, if you're fine deviating a little, run to the belfries and get the paired sword from the Grafted Scion. That thing got me through the first 3 demigods (since that phase of the game is pumping vitality and nothing scales well, you can put off strength until getting the bonk stick or the avatar's staff (both fun).

Doing twin gargoyles asap is a good plan because there are 2 good weapons behind them (avatar's staff and siluria's tree)/

Don't sleep on Crucible Horns, sometimes knocking a fool over is useful. Even works on Malenia.

This is good advice, but I'm confused about you mentioning the Ornamental Straight Swords. They may apply holy damage on their Ash of War, but they're a dex weapon and don't scale with faith at all.
