Is there a build for the mask of the child?

Gonna make somethin up
Mask of Child, rest of Chester's Set
Ninja Flip ring, Hornet Ring
Best backstab weapon you can find, + Target shield
Go for parries and backstabs only, if its PVE... Flip around like a madman and poke the enemy when closest.
Use the point gestures only.

IMHO It's not that easy nor necessary. All these masks are efficient but ugly as hell. But Giant Dad is hilarious because the mask fits the idea of the build which has nothing to do with fashion but the combination plus gesture makes it great fashion (still ugly but with style) AND viable build.

Mom isn't that hilarious because, while mask is more efficient, its extraweight is against the carryload-minmax idea which is viable but lacks some crazy-coolness imho, but it works so there it is

now child mask is efficient but ugly and nothing more...no wonder there's no special name hmm maybe combination with dwgr/cloanthy and grass shield and going naked with an halberd cold do the trick. Or estoc. flipping and poking, the greenbee

I use the child's mask on most of my characters. it's the equip that speeds up stamina regeneration that has the least drawbacks, imo. the grass crest shield isn't so good as a shield and the cloranthy ring takes a ring slot. also I don't like having to use green blossoms while I fight, so that's why I prefer it.

No ♥♥♥♥, it doesn't even have 100% physical reduction. It's not supposed to be used as a typical shield, it's meant to be worn on the back,as you 2hand a powerful weapon that eats a ton of stamina, like Zweihander.

if upgraded all the way, you get 95%+ physical block, so it becomes okay i guess

Anything less than 100% is unacceptable as a shield IMO. Grass crest is only good if you're 2 handing, or don't need to block since you CAN'T block the boss. Also, I thought it always has 95% reduction. The only thing that gets improved upon upgrading is stability and stuff. I don't think damage reduction is increased. Not sure though.

Yet you can block one/two hits frommost of normal enemies, especially from ranged one. So no, grass shield is usable as shield. Its just not a shield to sit behind and poke with stick out of it.

I tend to use grass crest shield in PvP, blocking with it saved my ass a countless times.
I use Eagle shield (95% phys reduction) for Patches cosplay PvP build. Pretty good to hide behind it and poke with spear.

5% of damage bleeding through is quite neglible to bother, unless you do SL1 char ofc.
