How To Beat The Leda Fight (5v1 solo) Idea Pool

[sf734efb;l4]

This post is solely for a collection of opinion/working builds that can win the stated scenario in the fight, note: no ashes or summoning NPC to help you

TLDR:
I beat it with Hand of Malenia (Dex build primarily but I respeced some Arcane), Waterfowl cull both Frejya and Hornsent before Moore can spawn, and once Moore Leda and Dane all spawned, Waterfowl can stagger all 3 at once (or at least Dane and Leda, which is the main threat), making you able to kill Dane and the fight is easy going from there

You just spam it when your stamina is full and are far enough from them that they cannot interrupt you in time, Stamina regen Talisman + Physique helps a lot

This discussion is primarily to post ideas (or your working build) for anyone who beat the fight under the above criteria, I have a feeling Str build works much better than Dex build through pure Bruteforcing but feel free to comment that instead too

Beat it on NG+. Scadutree level 20, 60 Str and 60 Faith. Essentially a DPS race to eliminate each one before the other spawns. Tried all sorts of builds, got about halfway with bleed but couldn't get the last few. What worked was Blasph Blade AoW spam (idc about being cheese), magma and fire talismans, alexanders shard, and Carian Filigreed Crest. Stamina and fire buff in physick. Rakshasa armour, and White mask. Buffs were Seppuku, Golden Vow, Flame Grant me Strength.

I haven't done it, but i'd assume any strong anti-gank tool like Black Flame Tornado or Stormhawk (even after nerf) would work well.

Zweihander

Anything madness related will make the fight pretty effortless since NPCs willingly walk into ir.

[Meewec]

haven't gotten there yet because i'm procrastinating in the rest of the shadow lands but i've seen people use the grab on the midra weapon.

my solution is going to be, i've done some questing. so it won't be a 5v1, might be a 3v3

I beat them 4 on 1 with dex character.

Killed Hornsent with Godskin Stitcher with Piercing Fang.

Giant Hunt is also excellent against all of them but
Piercing Fang pierces shields and has more range.

Next damaged walking dumpster with Piercing Fang
as much as I could before tarded monk came in.

Then switched to Iron Greatsword with Stormcaller and used it whenever monk got close. Shield boy and Leda also received a lot of punishment when they tried to gang on me.

When monk died switched back to Godskin Stitcher and finished
trash can with Piercing Fang.

Now only Leda remained.
Unfortunately I was low on flasks so I used talismans to regenerate health and FP,
and hit Leda here and there with Piercing Fang.

I had to run around arena a lot so I can regenerate myself enough to finally take her down.

Black Flame Tornado is reasonably effective but it has high FP cost
and animation is long if you want to use it to full extent.

That gives opportunity for gankers to pelt you with ranged attacks.
Trash can throws hefty rot pots and Leda has pretty powerful ranged holy attacks.

Hornsent also has nasty ranged attack if you leave him alive for too long.

I used Stormcaller because it costs less FP and I can abort attack earlier
and not use as much FP if I see I will need to dodge out of harm's way.

Used bleed colossal. Had jolan and Anna. Watched stamina to make sure I was ready to hit the target in case they tried to heal.

After taking out Freya and hornsent. Ignored Moore and just went for dry leaf dane. With only Moore and leda, it's a done deal. Focus on leda.

[Lahoo Eckbert]

Madness is also a good option. Combination of vyke's spear, frenzied perfume bottle and maddening hand. Haven't beaten them 1v5 but I think that would also be doable. I did 1v3 and it was just too easy.

Giants hunt can permastun NPCs for you to kill them before the next one comes out.

Or use the legendary pvp god swift slash, spam L2 till win

Giant Hunt works on first guy but they're not entering one at a time.

Leda and monk enter together and you can't use Giant Hunt
without other hitting you and they all do a lot of damage.

Besides it is very difficult to get rid of shield boy quickly enough
(they all heal with flask) so he will hang around with his damn rot pots.

Swift Slash is interesting idea. Didn't occur to me.
That one would be worth trying for sure. At least until it's nerfed :-)

Bleed-
Mohg's Great Rune can be activated for this fight, it boosts dmg on bloodloss. Or just sepuku to proc it, then switch.

Also bleed procs a lot on these guys, you can just r1 spam and eat half of redmane freja's HP. I can straight up kill hornsent at full stam w r1s. ( dual omen cleavers, arcane build).

I saw a host try to mohg farm them like they were albinaurics, they actually fall over to the wave of gold and get staggered + downed for a good time.

I don't even know if it works... but when I get there I plan on trying Fia's Mist.

Has anyone tried Fia's Mist on them?
