Best build for backhand blades ?

[Literally Guts From Berserk ?!]

Suggestions needed, really want to give this weapon a serious try. Idk where to start though.

I think you first need a backhand blade

[Iron Reaper]

i never tried them but was watching a streamer use them with high dex and some arcane and they slapped

they had no armor, blue dancer talisman, rotten wing sword, the other one like it that is a prosthetic hand, and i think crimson seed

It's a pretty standard dex weapon. Pump up dex with a bit of str & end. I found it works really really well with the blue dancer charm since it's a light weight weapon that is paired meaning two-handed it lets you wield two for the weight-cost of one. Slap on rotten wing talisman & thorny cracked tear, and you will be melting almost everything in the game.

Which weapon art tho

[Chris1]

If you don't use Keen, do you really have a dex build?

I think both blind spot & swift slash are great AoW, you can just choose your preference. Cragblade is always a good one if you want to prioritize sheer DPS.

PvE

then find an enemy that has easy to read attacks that also dont have too little poise i use the omens in the sewer to test weapons damage/AoW hitboxes and such just try out all the available AoW and find one you like youll be surprised how many unique and powerful combos youll find by just experimenting
