Dark Knight is a good starter. It's from a boss later in the game

Oh crap you meant Blood Veil. Yeah, Blood Veils don't matter. As an addendum, Blood Veils only affects your spells, defence, and drain attacks.

While it depends largely on what Blood Code you're opting to use, Polearms are mostly dexterity weapons, so use whatever Blood Code give the best Dex scaling.

I'm a Balanced melee build with Gift support so I use:
Hades Blood Code
Venous Claw (I use due to low weight)

Passives:
DEX/WIL Up
MND/WIL Up
MND/VIT Up
[slot of your choice, I personally use Improved Regeneration. STR/DEX Up would also be very good for even more melee damage.]

Stats:
STR A+
DEX B+
MND B
WIL B
VIT B
FOR B

This build allows you to use literally any weapon in the game with decent efficacy and every Gift except the Walpurgis Fire/Baba Yaga's Gaze/Rage of Perkunas Gifts which all require A-level Willpower. The main drawback is low initial Ichor, which is only 14 (though I personally never find it to be an actual problem assuming I'm hitting the enemy in the face with melee. I use Foulblood Barrier and Cleansing Light off-cooldown and I'm very survivable (though not tanky, mind you) against anything that isn't a one-hit or a massive wombo-combo.
