What do all the icons in the menu mean?

[Dumpster Fire]

In the souls games there is a button you can press that lets you hover over all of the icons so you can learn what they actually do. Is there something like that in this? I have weapons with build ups of different ♥♥♥♥ but I have no clue what the ♥♥♥♥ they do.

Are you talking about the weapons or player status UI

I personally used Bleed and Holy stuffz for my first playthrough, the late holy magic is insane and most enemies are fire types. or ghosts and bleed rips out chunks based on enemies max HP... 1 area uses holy

I didn;t know u could do that is DS, unless u mean press select to view the right side menu

Bleed, Burn, Poison, Smite, Ignite, Frostbite and many more small icon tips on that page

Oh and there's wither which will not let u kill them (without a 2nd tap) when u fill their hp bar as withered white health but will let u use ur withered Special attack for extra Vigor (souls).. also they can heal the white part so i suggest avoiding with weapons
