Richter Belmont Build

[Vezera]

In an earlier thread, the user 'srsface' had made mention of a 'Richter Belmont' build, where the only piece he knew that would definitely be used was the Elite Knight Chestpiece. I might have at least fixed the 'fashion souls'-sense of it.

Head piece: Nothing, there's no bandana or other light object that doesn't sit on top of the head. Brigand Hood was the only thing even in the ballpark.
Chest piece: Elite Kni--I mean I started the topic with it, pay attention >_>
Arm piece: Pate's Gloves. Richter has a couple of designs, Pate's Gloves are almost Richter's on the dot.
Leg piece: This is the one with the most leeway. There's no white pants in the game that have the leather boots like Richter's design shows, so this is the one with the most workaroundability(shaddap). I prefer Benhart's Boots, though Black Leather/Fume Sorceress/even Tseldora(colors make it work) all can work as well.

Now unfortunately, that's where my certanties for this build ends. I know nothing of whips, so I've no idea what whip would be the 'best'. I only know Notched and Spotted are least 'fashionable' with this setup. I also know that a lot of the pictures I'm seeing has him with a small dagger, so that could be an offhand if the whip simply isn't an option. I'm also completely unsure of where miracles fit into the equation. Surely it's the 'holiest' class of magic, would that be enough to make it a proper addition? If nothing else, it gives the build a ranged option.

Any advice would be appreciated, as I totally plan on making this my first online character, and if the miracles work with it it's a great Sunbro opportunity.

Hey, someone running with the idea. :D

I say Miracles work. In terms of sub-weapons from the Castlevania series, the only ones you could represent in-game are Knives and Holy Water by way of throwing knives and witching urns. There actually is a lightning weapon in Symphony of the Night where you throw it once and just hold up+special and it zaps whatever it hits til you run out of hearts, so there's precedence for throwing lightning spears.

Lucatiels Top is close-ish to Richter. It at least has blue on it anyway

as for whips you want the old whips it does extra dmg to hollow
the prob with whips are their durability ( and with the durability bug it realy sucks -_-' )

Alright, got myself through Skeleton Lord which was really interesting considering I could hit like 5 skeletons at once with the Notched Whip, lost the 16k souls bein' stupid and thinkin' I could just waltz up to a Desert Sorceress and whip her with no repercussions, and got into the Sunbro Covenant. Helped someone out with Last Giant, got some souls, and now I'm currently relatively set. I still need the Faith points to start using miracles, and my Vigor and Endurance both need to be leveled up as well, etc.

Havin' to sub out Pate's gloves with the Traveling Merchant gloves at the moment, because I was stupid and thought Cale was Pate. By the time I realized my blunder, he already rellocated to Earthen Peak where I'll have to kill him there.

Using a whip is.....interesting, to say the least. You've got a killer reach for melee, but all of your attacks have quite a bit of recovery that makes you have to think about your attacks and whether you're safe or not. Almost like.......almost like it's a Castlevania build in a Dark Souls game or something :V
