Heide knight build help

[WhiteBones]

Doing heide knight cosplay build. Currently using the armor set, sword, and planning on an offhand ceastus or cursed bone shield/watcher shield. Can anyone recomend a good build? Still fairly early in the game so my char can go anywhere. Maybe faith? I want it to be fairly well rounded, good for pve and pvp. Thanks!

I'd go full Lightning with 30 FTH. Heide weapons lose little physical damage when infused and benefit greatly from Sunlight Blade.

Heide Spear and Lances in particular can hit like trucks.

Could you elaborate on stat investment? Bare minimum to wield? Quality+faith? Str+faith?

Just no. No. NO.

And yeah I'd just go for 40 Faith and Lightning-infusion. They're pretty alright since they're innate lightning-weapons. Minimum Str and Dex.

Archer's build works. I had good results with Heide Spear with 20 STR/DEX and 30 FTH, although you could go ahead and go minimum to wield and 40 FTH.

If memory serves, Hilde weapons benefit almost fully from Ring of Blades/Flynn's as well even when infused. So yeah, you can get some stupid high damage if built right.
