Go STR-forward; most fist weapons scale with both STR and DEX, but they tend to scale *harder* with STR.

Some, like the Spiked Caestus, inflict bleed naturally, so you've got both blunt and bleeding damage in one weapon that hits fast (especially if you're two-handing it), meaning rapid buildup on susceptible enemies--and solid striking damage on those that are not (like the Valiant Gargoyles).

You're going to want high VIG, too, since you're going to have to get right in the enemy's face to do damage (fist weapon range is minimal).

Beyond that, I tend to stack at least 30 END; punching doesn't have a huge endurance load, but the ability to stay in the scrap will serve you well in both PvE and PvP.

(Note: Some fist weapons--like claws--benefit from quality scaling, so you'll want to balance STR and DEX; look at the weapon you want before really locking in on a forward-facing stat.)

Source: Completed base game and DLC with a fist weapon build (Dark 2 as well, but that game was broken for STR builds, making the caestus a straight-up murder glove).

there is a dlc weapon that specializes in punching, and an upgrade for that can be found later in dlc for puch with kicks xD i forgot the name though D:

u can tie that up with milicent's prosthesis and rotten winged sword talisman, alexander's shard, maybe add godskin swadling cloth talisman for health recovery if u get hit while punching :p

and leda's armor gives boost to attacks after a roll so... u can roll and punch perhaps ? XD

ill leave the rest to u :P

Dryleaf Arts. It looks badass but, at least for my part, I found it underwhelming and less effective than the beast claws I picked up right at the start of the DLC.

All of these options by bad players are outclassed by star fists.

The Dry Leaf Arts punch weapon is very under-powered as detailed in this video that highlights a build based on the new Dryleaf Whirlwind Ash of War.

SotE is required for either of those.

Much like Logan Paul, a man who has never fought a real pugilist takes pride in a record with no meaningful victories.
