Build question bleed + frost

[derSanitoeter]

In early Elden Ring a dual twinblade bleed + frost proc build was extremly powerful and really fun to play.

Is this still viable?

I only recently turned my dual wielded uchigatana into cold weapons. Not sure if it's viable but I like it.

So I keep hearing about this, what is the benefit of Cold again? Because I've played pure Arcane bleed builds and they wreck nearly everything on their own. Even if Cold was to add a benefit, I feel like you'd be losing effectiveness in the long run by splitting your stats between Arcane and Int.

That's the thing, I'm not playing a bleed build and I invested 0 point in Arcane and Int. I just use cold because it's a second bleeding effect that can make the target stagger and reduce theit damage mitigation temporarily.

I play without build. I just dodge and brute force.

Frost build-up for stance breaking and damage increase ( not sure if 20 or 30% ) for a short amount of time + bleed for damage.

Jump attacks with 2 twinblades proc both effects pretty often and damage skyrocketed back then.

With the jump attack and dual wielding 2 twinblades iam not sure how many attacks per jumps happened - 4 or even 8. Was insane. :D

That is why i ask. My frost knight builds is boring and DLC engame sucks a bit with it.
