Blood Echoes & Level | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Example Blood Warrior |

A heavier build, focusing on Vitality and Strength. This build is best suited for those looking to utilize heavy offensive melee combat and want to be able to soak some damage and utilize the Regain mechanic. | |

| Builds By Fundzo | Fundzo | Heaps yo, there's a lot of different ones | 60-80-110-120 | These are my builds! Ranging from SKL to STR to BLD and ARC. This will always be updated when I come up with new ideas and it was to stop the flood on the front page with all my builds! PSN: Fundzo (drop me a message anytime ill answer it) Twitch: Support me on twitch if you can it really helps me out in a big way and at least i know some people are happy with what im doing! Every build will use its own weapon to its max efficiency! It doesn't mean using all the weapons, but instead one. Have fun picking the build you like, all have been tested by me and I stream these builds doing some PvP. Enjoy and drop a suggestion(weapon or stat) for a build on my table page. |

| Overpower and Overcome | Lekamotu05 | Military Veteran | Level 130 | An amazing strength based build that focuses on being stronger and more powerful than your enemies. Stats: Vit-50 End-40 Str-50 Skl-20 Bld-10 Arc-10 Equipment: Kirkhammer, Logarius Wheel, and Ludwigs Holy Blade | Hunter Pistol & Cannon Items: Iron Elixir and Molotovs Runes: Hp up, Dmg Resist, and Stamina up |
|
| Hollowed Soul | Alva_The_Wayfarer | Noble Scion | Chikage & Fist of Gratia |
Level 125 |
An offensive oriented build. This build focuses on skill and bloodtinge. It is best suited for those who are looking to hunt others in most locations throughout the game and is also suited to deal with cooperators. This build utilizes a very pure aggressive attack pattern. [ Incorporates Fashion-borne for novelty ] |
| Cainhurst Katana Wielder | Sylvester | Miltary Veteran | Level 80 | A balanced and decent-ish PvP-focused build, focusing on the Chikage katana and the Cainhurst set. Anyway, feel free to mess around with the build a bit if you want, see if you can make it any better. |
|
| Ludwig's Set Build | Lardio050 | Military Veteran | Level 60-100 | This build is for people who miss Greatswords! (Me) This weapon has an amazing moveset, and hits extremely hard. Have your weapon at +10 for TONS OF DAMAGE. If your opponent doesn't time his roll your charged R2 can easily hit 1-1.5k (Test it out). | |
| Skill/Bloodtinge | Beren | Waste of Skin | 78 | This is a Skill build with the secondary offensive stat in Bloodtinge and the third offensive stat in Arcane. Vitality 35 Endurance 16 STR 14 Skill 30 Bloodtinge 18 Arcane 15 Equipment Melee Weapons: Burial Blade and Blades of Mercy Range: Ludwig's Rifle and Evelyn's. Items: Hunters Bone Beast Roar Bone Marrow Ash Runes +HP 10% and 15% +STAMINA 15% Two Video of the Builds: |
|
| Bloodtinge & Skill Build | PSN: Azure__Wolf |
Military Veteran | 80 | I choose the axe and pistol.. Upgraded the axe too +3 \ Evelyn +7 and killed the boss in Cainhurst solo with spamming vicreal attacks on em to get Chikage. Evelyn is in the Same location so you got all your weapons anyhow Very High dps on Chikage while transformed as well as Viscreal Attacks. (PvP wise around 800-1200) (PvE highest I dealt was 4.4k) Evelyn shots deal from 100-300 depending on distance ( 600~ with buff) (only at +9 atm) SS on my Build page |
|
| Quality PVP Build | Crash | Military Veteran | Level 80 | This is a quality build for being able to use all right hand weapons with efficiency as well as most bar the most intensive left hand weapons. Stats: Vit: 37 End: 25 Str: 25 Skl: 25 Bld: 12 Arc: 6 On my right hand I have Burial Blade and Ludwig's with my best physical gems inserted. On left hand I have Hunter's pistol (For PvE) and the Blunderbuss (For PvP) Runes I use are the best +Hp and +Stamina ones available. Link to see build in action: |
|
| Blood Ranger | PSN :King_ Gilgamesh1 | Milquetoast | 120+or- | This is a insane bloodtinge heavy build. Be expecting blood vile battles because your gone be needing to use them. Battles with this build could be done in 3 ways. 1 Heavy melee focus 2 gun only shots (preety sweet that you can kill somone with a gun) and 3 A gun melee combo where you first use bone ash on the gun fire once half theier hp is gone and finish in one to 2 hits. | |
| Quality Skill | Elshagan | Milquetoast | 100 | A real general quality build. Vit:40 End:25 Str:20 Skill:30 Blood:10 Arcane:25 The build allows you to basically use anything you wish minus the Evelyn could reduce the amount of vit and get enough points to even use the evelyn. The reason for the higher skill then Str is mostly preference based on weapon, I use the Burial Blade and Blades of Mercy along with the Hunter's Pistol which works quite well but the skill at 30 is due to that both the Burial Blade and Blades of Mercy scale from Skill rather then strength. Lots of endurance cause afaik both the Burial Blade and Blades of Mercy gain extra attack damage on their dash attacks (Note the sounds n white trail effect during dash attacks) Vid of it in action(Lv80 at time of recording): |
|
| HuntSpank | Antern | Professional | 50 | Good minmaxed build for a low-mid level gankspanks. WIde swings and big regain of burial blade helps alot. Parrying tool can be choosen between base pistol and shotgun ( large shot's cone gives some random parries against 2-3 r1-spamers ). Vit: 30 End: 20 Str: 10 Skill: 25 Runes: Anti-Clockwise Metamorphosis ( stamina +15% ), Clawmark's ( v.atk+ ), Hunter ( stamina regen ). Fashion: Bone Ash Gauntlets, Hunter Trousers, head-body - Crowfeather. |
|
| Ancient Hunter Katrina | jjhuang417 | Military Veteran (Professional is better) | 100 | Vit: 34End: 20Strength:14Skill: 50Bloodtinge: 7Arcane: 25BoM and Burial Blade both scales with arcane so thats why you wanna soft cap on arcane. Off hand should be pistol for speedy parry. Runes: Claw mark (Strengthen visceral attack) , Hunter (stamina regen), Anti-Clock Metamorphosis (increase max. stamina), (last one can be any of your choice). | |
| Meta 120 Quality Build | Mudshadow | Any | 111 | Vitality = 40 Endurance = 16 Skill = 30 Str = 30 Bloodtinge = 30 Arcane = 15 Use any weapons you fancy. Cannon/Evelyn, Chikage or Ludwigs, Saw Cleaver.. Whatever. There are about 10 points left over. This can go into a stat of your preferred weapon (ie take Bloodtinge to 40 if like the Chikage or STR for Kirkhammer/wheel). Or it can go into Endurance/Vitality. Runes = +15% HP Rune, +20% Stamina, +15% Stamina. 18 Minute Mash up Video using this build. |
|
| Min Max Skill/Arcane | Lunaire | Cruel Fate | 55-100 | Vitality: 30 - 50 Endurance: 20 Strength: 10 Skill: 25 - 50 Bloodtinge: 5 Arcane: 15 Blade of Mercy for rushing your opponent, and Burial Blade because it is badass and has reach. Rosmarinus is there for some situations, and then a basic Hunter firearm. (Either the blunderbuss or pistol, just personal preference) Runes: Health, Stamina, your choice, and whatever Oath. 15 Arcane makes the beast roar and old hunter bone available, the bone is especially lethal with the BoM. Fashionborne: All bone ash except for Crowfeather Garb. |
|
| Choir Arcanist | Arguzil | Cruel Fate | 60 | Vit 20 / End 15 / Str 12 / Skl 9 / Blt 5 / Arc 49 Choir Cosplay build for low level invasions. |
| Class Cannon | Captain Keks | Waste of Skin | 80 | It's a very high damage output build involving the Cannon that's all about 1 shotting your opponent. Full Text Guide: Click here Video Guide: Click here Invasions using this build: Click here |
| Reaper of blood-addled Spirits | Schobii | Waste of Skin | 100-120 | Hunter of Hunters Skill Build Decent overall resistance high damage output |
| Ultimate Low-Level Builds | BloodSoul26 | Various | 43 | I will give a list of builds that will each specialize in a stat and set of weapons, or just be something fresh and new depending on how creative I can be. These builds are ideal for your gank-spanks (or just some good old hunting on the newbies), or to give the jolly cooperation you want to give without being a burden or being overpowered. By that I mean, you won't do any Chalice Dungeon farming (the most you will farm will be the Brain Mensis enemies near the Lighthouse Hub). There may be an exception to the Arcane build, though. I will update this periodically. Give me time, and you'll see links with more detail on each build. |
AnonymousI don’t understand any of you guys... I mean, come on! None of you seem to have any real sense in PvP... it’s all about patience, timing, and speed. It doesn’t matter how much your damage output is, it matters how quickly you can read your opponent, how to use the terrain to your advantage, and how to guard your own weaknesses... I watch PvP YouTubers and some of them are not bad, but usually... they could do a lot better
... Also, why doesn’t anyone talk about the Rakuyo... it’s pretty good... if you know how to use it of course!

Build are not very complicated here. Not many options. You need 30 in Vit. and 20 in Endurance (min). That leaves you with only 4 stats. Not many permutations.
Strength + Arcane
Skill + Bloodtinge
Strength + Skill
Pure Strength
Pure Skill
Pure Arcane
Pure Bloodtinge (if u are brave, not many options for weapons without only using the transformed state)
These are the only viable options for builds in Bloodborne. Its either these or you put all your stats in one. Like pure strength, skill or arcane.
Really i bet some ppl will think im lying but im not. if u want the higest dmg output go to Yahar'gul chapel run backwards jump down on the the edge where u get the key for upper ward. kill the bell women and then viscreal the ogre

The only thing halfway interesting here is the burial blade... Chikage, blades of mercy and evelyn cookie cutter builds ahoy, otherwise meh setups. I don't hate the BoM, they compliment heavier weapons off hand; and the evelyn is what it is..but when I see 10/10 players spam R1 while I bow with either BoM or chikage and than heal constantly I have to question whether or not they thought out their build - utility/skill wise and didn't just look up cheese builds and than hit r1 and triangle constantly. I have great hopes for pvp still..but a huge section of the masses is absolute trash right now.

There's a guy on Youtube (FightinCowboy) and he does build videos for Bloodborne - My question is this...Is there no way to respec or move your attribute points around? I can't figure out how he make and shows off new builds so quickly if you can't respec. All of his builds are like lvl 120+....no way he keeps making new characters and playing through the game that quickly.

This video might help some of you in terms of positioning and tactics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S2jQ0fov3sQ I was the top rated DeS/DS player and #2 on DS2 and while I used to make more videos for tips on these things, I haven't in awhile but I figure this may help the newer players a bit to see the speed and action of the high level pvp in game to decide if they want to level up to it or not.

Is am watching at this and i see nothing else than these three weapons. Is it because these weapons are just cool or are they just outright better than other weapons?

if lvl 100 is the confirmed pvp lvl, is it necessary to be in the same playthrough, to invade people? What i mean is, when im in NG+ and im lvl 100, do i only invade people in NG+ with my lvl cap, or in all playthroughs?

So have we decided on a PVP level range as a community? Some I see keep thinking it should be 120 cause that's what Demon's Souls and Dark Souls were (though Dark Souls 2 was supposed to be 150 as the community decided, just wasn't cause of crappy Soul Memory ruining that). But I don't think it should be 120. There are less stats and stat requirements in Bloodborne than DS and DkS1 so there's no reason to keep it so high. And the soft caps are lower. I'd personally say 80-100, but even then not sure. Just curious if we've decided on a level for sure as a community.

so since we found out starting gifts don't exist, should the starting gift section be changed to an "Equipment" section or make two new sections: "Trick-Weapons" and "Firearms" instead?

why the agreed on lvl caps and stuff why cant we just make the pvp lvl meta having all stats at the mid cap (50ish) because otherwise you end up with cheesy bloodtinge builds where people are too commited to one stat and cant change it up much my bloodtinge doesnt matter if im using a hunters axe so who cares if i max it and strength you just end up with ng builds for pvp and ng+ builds that are to over leveled to join anyone only you cant change up your pvp build any unless you go for a level spread in stats which leaves you at a disadvatage im level 300ish and bored *****it lol

So I've had this game a while, and I'm kinda awful, so I was wondering if you guys could help me out with a strength build. I just got back into the game, and I bought the DLC. If you guys could do a huge favor and help me get through some of the game and just be friends, I'd really appreciate it. My PSN is WannaHaveVex if you'd like to add me :)

okay so ive played everysingle souls and i have allways focused on offensive stats and stamina because all i do is dodge and attack, and its allways been viable but in *****ing bloodborne, bow blade, my weapon of choice because of the amazing moveset,but because its physical bloodtinge and arcane, it cant be a pure offensive build, my first build i had 9 vitality 8 endurance 9 strength 50 skill 50 bloodtinge 9 arcane, and it was good , low level so i was allways finding coop groups but could win, then i decide to move arcane to 15 so i could use some nice things like beast roar and old hunters bone, now my purely offensive build takes up to 5 sword swings to kill or 6 weak arrow shots, but i have been one hit by people, so you know i went to 15 vitality and 15 endurance, wich has been good but it only takes oponants 1-2 hits to kill me, all my weapons are +10, so i made a purely offensive build , and i cant do ***** for damage? yet other people who cant have same damage stats because they boost stamina and health can one hit me? how can i work arround this? vitality is not a stat i have ever put into, even in pve i have no issues and notice my damage is great, but from all my builds and pvp, wich im actually good at , i win even though they have a serious advatage especially when i invade, but due to many weapons haveing these riduculous hit boxes pvp has lost me, if you know a way i can work around this bull***** please let me know, on the other hand if you want an op pvp build that doesnt require skill, 50 vitality 50 strength, rest in endurance, whirlygig +10 and lead elixir if you start to lose

I would love to upload my build but I can't using an android phone. Is it just my phone or do I need to use a computer?
Do people still PvP in Bloodborne? Only just now deciding to look into it and I'm worried I'm too late.
