What is pontiff sulyvahn weak to?

[MacaroniBurger]

I'm on my faith build. Is he weak to lightning or bleed?

[Kleerex]

Weak to parries. 3 and a few more swings should be enough.

[Baldzinga]

He's weak to Thrust attacks. That's it, unless you count parries. He resists Bleed, but neutral to Lightning.

[GT-R]

He's weak to gank squads. Trust me.

[JimPappa]

He is resistant to magic. Weak against all other elements. (seriously fire, lightning and even dark do lots of damage to him)
He is resistant to secondary effects like bleed, poison and frostbite.

[Zeretrelle]

He is resistant to magic

Is he? I always rekt him with my CSS.

PS And wiki doesnt say he is resistant to magic..

Well somewhat resistant that is, him being a sorcerer. And is there anything that CSS can't rekt?

They all went down easily on my mage character at NG+2. Hell I didn't even use CSS on some of them. Just great heavy souls arrows.
Once you stacked magic damage increasing gear, your magic will deal tons of damage to bosses, even ones that are supposed to be strong against magic.

By" rekt" I mean >1k damage. Usually 1200-1300+

You won't be dealing this kind of damage to any of these bosses yet wasting a huge chunk of your mana hence why GHSA is more preferable especially vs Gael, Prince and friede and especially in co-op

And I use 3 +damage rings, crown, candlestick, stave buff (without power within though) int60 CSS+10

You'll be damaging them , sure and GHSA wil be doing OK damage considering it's cost but I wouldn't call it rekting.

It's weak against frostbite and toxic.

Before patch it made him completely harmless. He had negative stamina regen. Now maybe he attacks every once in a while if you frostbite and toxic him at the same time, but makes the fight a lot easier either way.

Ah I was not aware of that definition. I meant that it was surprisingly easy and quick.

My mage character had 60 Attunement and 6 Ashen Estus so FP usage was never a problem. Main use of CSS for me is the range and piercing through enemies. Useful against bosses like Midir who goes out of reach of GHSA every now and then.

35 ATT is a soft cap and it gives you 280 mana

At 60 (which is a total waste of points imho and only possible if you are not limiting your SL within 120-150 SL) you get 350 mana that is just 70 FP more than at ATT=35 and it translates into just 1-2(!) more cast of CSS which will hit like crap considering FP cost.

When you are co-oping and especially if it's NG+7 etc you HAVE to use GHSA against most of DLC bosses (except for Midir and maybe demon prince, where mercury destroys them completely) even with 6 or more ashtuses. And if it's 3-4 players and 1-2 of them die?

If you are a host, then sure, you can just use tears, have 1-2 health potions and the rest is mana potions

Far as I know, none of the AI in this game is weak to status effects (bleed, poison). They're only effective against other players.
