What are/have been your most enjoyable playthroughs?

I'm thinking of getting back into the game, since I haven't done an actual playthrough in over a year. I still have a Moonblade/mage savefile I was doing that can be completed. But I'm wondering what some of your favorites have been to complete a run with?

So far I've done full STR, because unga bunga damage, as well as spells/wizard only. And then almost done with that moonblade run. I was thinking something semi melee semi faith orso could be cool, but I'm not sure if that would be too underwhelming as I haven't heard great things about faith as compared to intellect.

Still continuing the first playthrough i started launch day.

Will get back to you when i actually finish it for good.

My favorite playthrough is probably my second one, I used only a straight sword and a brass shield the entire playthrough roll playing as a knight

It was fun and challenging, especially malenia took me way to many attempts

I completed my first run with pre-nerf RoB. All the cool kids were doing it. I look back at those days and cringe. It was just a phase, I swear.

Actually doing an NG+ Playthrough of a "D&D" style game, where folks just play a run of the mill class you'd find in any RPG, but this is seamless Co-op with the Neutral setting on, so can imagine the guy using Comet Azur, being very concerned of the collateral damage, its fun.

Currently Running a White Reed's Samurai with a few mods dashed in.

I've been having a ton of fun cosplaying Elmer of the Briar. The tricky part is killing him with a +0 weapon if you want to use it from start to finish, but it's not too bad. I put a stipulation on that I focus on non-damage stats such as stamina, vigor, mind, faith (buffing spells) and leave other stats at their base requirement for his sword.

The weapon art is super fun, his sword staggers very well, and rolling things to death with thorns never gets old. I've also never done a high health, low damage playthrough. It's actually a nice balance where you get to appreciate a boss' style and music without you or them instantly getting deleted.
