recommended infusion/weapon/dps for soul of cinder?

[Jimbusoid]

So currently, i'm only doing 200 damage to the soul of cinder, and I'm using a deep longsword+10. The wiki says that the soul of cinder is weak to dark damage, but it seems like i'm doing nearly nothing.

So I have a few questions:

How much damage did you do per hit?
What buff/infusion (if any) did you use?
And finally, what base weapon did you use?

first phase lighting (yeah weird i know), second phase dark

Damn son, can you play the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game without asking ere if you should press the r1 against enemies?

Depends of your build.
For str you should use any heavy UGS + resin
For dex you should go for any sharp katana + resin;
So on.

♥♥♥♥ off, i'm doing only 200 damage, which is literally only one 50th of his health. Yes I did the math. His total health is about 10k, and so I have to get in 50 hits before I run out of estus

On SL125:

Havel's Shield, Dancer's Armour, Long Sword and a lot of Lightning Resins. Havel's Shield maxed out to 80 stability.

I finished with 5 of 15 estuts still left.

First stage is beefy, secound stage is weak to everything since he gets new combos that can wipe a good amount of hp. I just punched him to death doing 350 damage with demon fists my latest time fighting him, did like 435 last phase.

I think i'll use a pale tongue and move some from vit to strength, and use a heavy infusion

Best option to kill Soul Of Cinder: summon me and get it over with.

Second best option: Use lightning/dark/frost, any weapon you are comfortable with.

Average playthrough: Equip Astora Straight Sword that, for me, has taken lives of all the bosses before and after Soul Of Cinder and use it to kill the boss.

It all depends of your build, but like you and others said, his weak to dark, so either a dark infuse or resin will give you best results...

I currently use a Dard Lothric GS and I can hit 700 or more but I dont know for sure because my main weapon is actually an Izalith Staff and with it, I can do, if everything goes right, around 2k (bit more, bit less depending of if I used WA of my staff and if my HP is full (using Lloyd's Sword ring)

You said you are using Deep infusion. Deep and Fire infusions do not scale, but Dark and Chaos do. Consider upgrading your infusions to get higher damage output.
