Strength/arcane or dex/arcane?

which has better weapons?

You only need Hammer OP, nothing else.

Hunter's Axe that you start with is pretty much the best weapon in the game. Gehrman's scythe weapon comes in a close second and that's dex/arcane.

I've already tried a hunters axe playthrough and want something different.

What about the Meme Wheel?

Whirlygig Saw is amazing, just wish I realized that in my first playthrough.

Maybe I'm retarded but that weapon was tough to handle. Had to switch it off during Ludwig and Loragius because it made them impossible.

I played a strength/arcane build with the big sword (fuck my life, i van't remember it's name) and arcane stuff like the "tentacle box" to parry
Sorry for my idiotic brian

Brain!! I'm so slow today

I did one play through with the Cain and the next with the hammer, I just bought bb again and I don't know what to go for either. I tried using that spike thing but it's fucking shit.

Ludwig's Holy Blade!!
(thanks google)

How do i into Logarius wheel? Go full arc or full strength?

Chikage is fun. 25 skill/50 bloodtinge. Get the lost one because in it's transformed state, its 100% bloodtinge damage. The lost version has a slot for another blood att gem.

Also Kos parasite for pure arcane build is fun.

I found Whirlygig Saw great. It feels really satisfying and powerful imo

Where to get the lost version?

It's in the chalice dungeons. A YouTuber called sanadsk has a guide if you have never done the chalices before. Shows you the quickest route to take so you can access any dungeon in the game.

arcane scaling is good in its tranformed state

No matter how hard i try i just can't into the heretic wheel. Whirligig saw is much more satisfying.

Whats something good to listen to while playing?

Bloodtinge

OP here, I've got the whirligig on another playthrough and yes, its awesome, but is that pretty much the main option for str/arc? I'm leaning towards skill/arcane atm

Wheel Is strength/arc
Blades or scythe are skill/arc
Moonlight blade is quality/arc
Parasite is pure arc

If you aren't going pure scythe is best of these in my opinion

Oh Boomhammer and Tonitrus are also strength/arc weapons

I really like the boomhammer despite its terrible moveset

Dex/Arcane isn't really a thing? Str/Arc has Tonitrus, Wheel, Moonlight Blade and Boom hammer.

See

>Leveling arcane beyond 15

Don't tell me any of you do this?

>not leveling it to 99

Hunters tools have no scaling cap

>When you fully gem the Boom Hammer and hit for thousands of damage on fully charged counterhits

Hunter tools are useless outside some niche situations

Just go gemmed saw spear

Unironically the best skill arcane weapon

The game's soundtrack.

Strength arcane with tonitrus or ludwigs.

You can wreck most bosses with executioners gloves.

>Str/Dex 25/25; Arc 99, Kos Parasite/MLGS
>destroy everything

>Executioner gloves, Blacksky Eye and Augur being useless

Doesn't it become full arcane when you gem it with elements?

any weapon with a fire/bolt/arcane gem swaps its physical damage type for elemental
