OP SL15 twink build

[Mike]

https://mugenmonkey.com/darksouls3/361114 -

109 flat damage reduced from attacks, and you take nearly half damage afterwards with absorbtion (if someone has 200 AR, you'll take 55.51 damage.)

- 4th ring slot is free, you can swap out a life ring +3 if you're willing to beat the demon prince, silvercat or hornet.

-make sure to kill lapp to get his helmet as demon princes are extremely hard even with this build.
also make sure to do sirris's quest as the silvercat is one of the best rings for invasions AND you need the dragonslayer's axe

You don't need this set up to invade at sl 15 and be "OP". Ring of favor +0 and prisoners chain along with whatever fashion you choose is fine, unless you're concerned about poise. The primary concern is the overleveled phantoms.

I see drakeblood being used a lot at low levels. Which can be a good poise weapon.

It's useful in that its hyper armor starts up earlier than other greatswords plus people tend to have less resistances to its elemental damage at low level, but that wouldn't be the case with overleveled phantoms as their defense isn't scaled down. I'd offer the claymore as a better alternative simply because of the moveset, but I've heard that the flamberge gets more AR.

Actually am trying to get flamberge right now. Either my luck is terrible or the drop rate is insanely low.

I think it has a 1% drop rate.

Killed at least 70 thralls to get the stupid thing.

that is not how you calculate it, damage from pure 200 physical AR would be 90-100 with RSP+3 and 95-105 without.

Indeed 4th slot is free as RSP useless for PVP. But that is not how you get LF+3...

Or summon Lapp and kill princes in ez mode. He can distract 1 so you ez kill another one in ph1 and then he can even survive to the end if you hurry to kill the prince just a little bit.

Cat ring sure - also learn to hardswap it during falls.

DSA - meme noobslaying weapon with unnecessary stat investment and mediocre moveset + damage only good with bundles.

confused life+3 with chloranthy +3

also dsa is bad against overleveled phantoms however the flamberge takes years to get if you want to farm it.

pretty low rate indeed, to my experience doing the one at settlement from the cliff bonfire is the fastest. Takes 15-20 min of running per piece on average with full equipment + coin on every run.
