THE BEST BUILD PVP DUEL SL 44 (+4)
INRODUCTION
  • The main problem when u playing at a low level is the absence of a character level for using A,S-tier weapons that claim a lot of stats and the absence of good damage.
  • Because of this, u have to use special rings. It's about rings which add stats like Strength, Dex and Intelligence. Respectively are Knight's Ring (+5 Streinght), Hunter's Ring (+5 Dex), Scholar Ring (+5 Int). Since more than one setup will be used, the rings can be swap.
    BUILD EQUIPMENT
  • Now about weapons which will be used. Since we are talking about the best build, the setups will be selected from A,S-tier. One of the best duel setups are crossbow + A,S-tier weapons.
  • Against ur crossbow setup, opponents will often take the black knight's shield to be able to attack u. Therefore, we will take a dark build against this.
How to properly distribute the stats for our build? Everything is simple here. The ideal combination for a dark build at level 44 would be (Starting character - knight):
For my build, i took these weapons and collected meta swap inventory (I also took shields. For example, u can take the Shield of the Black Knight):
Now u need to take best armor and rings. Personally, I have put together such a setup, perhaps there is a little more effective but insignificantly:
    THE BASIS AND ESSENCE OF GAMEPLAY
  • For this build, the best setups are those with a crossbow. It's about shooting Explosive Bolts. I think that everyone understands that a crossbow needs to take a good weapon in a bundle. Best of all would be Corvian or Gottard's Swords. By the way, due to the presence of 30 points of faith inbuild, u can cast healing spell before the battle. For example Boutiful Light is cool for this.
  • The battle tactics are pretty simple. With a crossbow, u need to play passive and carefully while standing in a shooting position and provoke the enemy to attack. It is better to shoot crossbow when the enemy wants to make a running attack at u or wants to hit u. But in addition to the passive game, I want to remind you that it is imperative to start putting pressure on ur opponent after winning in neutrals.
  • In addition to shooting from a crossbow, y need to inflict attacks with weapons from a bundle. To do this, u can either make a glitch "crossbow cancel" or simply take the weapon in two hands without removing the crossbow and attack when enemy is close (do this with some kind of dagger or curved sword).
  • More skilled players can take the Black Knight's Shield against ur crossbow. It is for this (as I said, the weapon is dark). U can do crossbow cancel or just start attack shield when enemy comes with a block, enough damage will take place.
  • It is also important that there are complex mechanics with playing on crossbow, which include timing for trades, Weapon and crossbow combo timings.
      PROBLEMS OF THIS BUILD
    • The main problem with this build is the obligatory game with the use of a crossbow. Without a crossbow this build will show itself worse than the usual correct strength or dex build (u will have less damage and less resistance).
    • Since u have less damage, it will not be profitable for u to trade attacks with the enemy. (This flaw is compensated by very cool crossbow setup).
    • it's not so easy to shoot with a crossbow, so this build is not so easy to learn.
      RESULT
      With this build, if played correctly, u will be a pretty strong opponent. The main thing is to play measuredly and not to rush. But don't forget to put pressure on ur opponent after his mistakes.

THE BEST STRENGTH BUILD SL 44 (+4)
Strength build is a great low level build. Its advantages: many weapons with good scaling from Strength. There are quite a lot of them, that is, u can take a lot of them, and they have a lot of damage. Also, Vitality and Strength gives you more resistance from physical damage combined with a heavy meta set of armor.
  • U can change Points in Build. Make 30 Strength and meta swap gundir halberd.
  • Daggers work very cool at Strenght build. Make daggers to Strenght ascension and they will do a lot of damage. U can Make 11 Faith and 11 Intelligence for Murky Hand Scythe.
  • At Strength Build, u can good use Arbalest.
  • U can take quite strong weapons, for example:Splitleaf Greatsword or make Curved Swords to Strenght ascension.
  • U can swap Hunter's Ring and take weapons that require a lot of Dex.
THE BEST DEX BUILD SL 44 (+4)
Dex Build is more powerful for dueling than the Strenght build. Dex Build there is a good opportunity to use Curved Swords and daggers, which are the strongest A-tiers.
  • The Best weapons would be the Scimitar or Corvian. You can take Estok + Gotthard Twinswords, "Turtle Estok setup", Sellsword Twinblades. These weapons will have a lot of damage and they are A-tier weapons.
  • This is the second most powerful Duel setup after the Вark Build + Crossbow.
CREATING BUILD FORMULA 44 (+4)
What is the principle of building a 44 (+4) build?
  • First of all, if u are a fighter with melee weapons, u need to choose Knight as a starting class;
  • U should have ~ 30 Vigor;
  • U should have ~ 20 stats of damage. (For example: Strength build contains 30 Strength. Initially it was 10. That is, u up 20 points);
  • Endurance is not worth upgrade... gives nothing;
  • U should upgrade Vitality and putting heavy Meta set of armor;
  • If you play with one weapon, create build for this weapon. This will make u more powerful.
ADDITION ABOUT OTHER BUILDS
Why are the rest of the builds not the top 3? The answer is pretty simple.
  • Low SL Quality Build is bad and doesn't exist. Adequate will be 20 Strength and 20 Dex. This is bad for scaling of weapons. Damage will be very small.
  • Faith Build and Intelligence Build, does not work, because at a low level magic works very badly.
    Summarizing, I want to say that THE BEST build is Dark Build, but only in Bundle with a crossbow. After him comes Dex Build. And 3 place can put the Strength Build. (Although the Murky Hand Scythe Strength Build will be THE STRONGEST in bundle with a crossbow)

If u disagree this manual, then u are not experienced player who make a mistake. Or u misunderstood what I written.

I made a video to demonstrate the build just like that. I had to kill newcomers. This has nothing to do with my arguments.

Your video titled "Killing newbies in crucifixion woods" doesnt exactly help ur argument that its not about killing newbies :P
BAYKAL_725  [author] Dec 24, 2021 @ 2:54pm 
This isnt about killing newbies, this about duel build for SL 44 (+4)
J-Zer0-Alt Dec 24, 2021 @ 10:48am 
people who need endgame gear to fight low level players who barely have a build do it because they aren't good enough to fight people who do have pvp ready builds.
bunni Dec 23, 2021 @ 9:30pm
