This build is very good in Pve. The stats are 60 vitality, 20 stamina, 50 strenght, 50 skill, 9 bloodtinge and 15 arcane. The build weapons are for the right side the ludwig holy blade and for the left side the evelyn and the cannon. The ludwig holy blade is a very good weapon for pve because is very polyvalent because is skilling on strenght and skill. Use the trick form for big boss who you can do a visceral by attacking him like Ludwig or Ebrietas. Use the normal form for boss that you can do visceral with your pistol. The cannon is a very good weapon to make visceral attack to the big bosses like Amygdala and Laurence.

      Level 88, you’ll be fine with 30 vigor, just practice your dodges and parties, 25 endurance, 28 strength, 22 Skill, 10 bloodtinge, and 21 arcane, pretty evenly balanced, Start with the axe and then get the saw spear as soon as possible, I ended up beating orphan with the saw spear so don’t underestimate it

      • I just add a build, in the first line of the table, if you are interested. It was my first character ever, BL100. It brings me up to NG+6 without major difficulty. This is a high vitality/strength build with some skill. Using mainly Kirkhammer and Whirligig saw. Play as a tank or a berserk with beast blood pellets.

          So I came back to this game after a ludwig quality build where I got stuck on Amelia (this is my third "playthrough," haven't finished yet. So I have no idea how to play this game and my current build is skill/bloodtinge/arcane. Chigage, blade of mercy, and no gun. Parry's are way to hard and spells...are way too fun. And yes, I understand this is a terrible build and the only reason it's working is because I got really high on Ritalin, forgot what I was doing and waisted a weekend in the chalice dungeons. Walked in a *****, walked out autisticly over leveled for the rest of the game. I wasn't even grinding, I just forgot that there was a whole ass game going one outside of the dungeons.

                Hello everyone! I am new to Bloodborne and would like to ask the “seasoned players” here: wich build would be a suitable choice for a newbie?

                • Anonymous

                  I am a level 187 and recommend upgrading bloodtinge and skill. Skill to 50 and bloodtinge to 40+. I use the max chikage and rakuyo with the max Evelyn. It's amazing for both PvE and PvP. For carryl runes i recommend using anti-clockwise metamorphosis and any clawmarks runes.

                    PvE build hash slinging slasher. 50 vit/25 end/40 skl/10 str/50 Bt/10 arc. +10 threaded cane/+10 Chikage (only use transformed and only use for as long as necessary)/Evelyn. Optimize weapons with gems however you choose. Three moon runes. This build is for eviscerating PvE enemies and farming massive amounts of blood echoes. Probably the best build to take you through NG+ EASILY.

                      One of my best build for PvP is the Skill/Bloodtinge build. My Hunter is 154 level, a Noble Scion origin. Vitality: 47 Endurance: 25 Strength: 10 Skill: 50 Bloodtinge: 50 Arcane: 10 You don't need to go over 150. 1 point added in Arcane and Strength are just for fun and the same in Vitality, you can stay at 45 instead of 47 as I'm. Off course, you can choose a lot of weapons as primary weapon. Saw spear, Church Pick, Beast Hunter Saif, Threaded Cane, Chikage... Personally, I use more Church Pick, Saif and Simon's Bowblade. Among guns, Evelyn must be your primary choise and the others are quite ignorable. Among Runes, I use Clawmark, Anti-clockwise Metamorphosis and Clockwise Metamorphosis as Memory Runes, then as Oath Rune I use Corruption (being a Vileblood, my choise is mandatory), however for PvP Hunter's Oath Rune is the best. Attires: Cainhurst Helmet, Cainhurst Armor, Old Hunter Gloves, Yahar'gul Black Trousers. Items and Magic: Lead Elisir (usefull against spammer), Fire or Bolt Paper and Madaras Whistle.

                        Working on an arcane build that I want to optimize for every type of enemy, I'm thinking about using an upgraded fire saw cleaver for beasts/ beast bosses but I was wondering if there is a serrated weapon with better arcane scaling for the fire damage? Since it's an arcane build the fire also scales off arcane right?

                        • Anonymous

                          This is my "Harbinger of Fate" class. Female with complete white Church Set, You can start this at level 50.
                          Attire: White Church Set
                          R Weapon1: Blade of Mercy
                          R Weapon2: Saw Spear
                          L Weapon 1: Ludwig's Rifle
                          L Weapon 2: Repeating Pistol
                          Vit: 20
                          End: 30
                          Str: 20
                          Skl: 30
                          Btg: 10 (or 20)
                          Arc: 20 (or 10)

                          Depending on what you want to have as your main attribute will depend on building Btg or Arc, if you prefer attacking with fire, then scale Arc, If you prefer attacking with Secondary scale Btg, Focus on utilizing attributes on your Blade of Mercy like poison and healing yourself (like golden gemstone), with your heavy focus on dealing big damage, by utilizing both forms you can survive mobs with your Saw Spear, and handle hunters and individual enemies with your Blades of Mercy. Endurance is crucial so you can deal more strikes to trigger poison, then back up, switch weapons and leap attack with your Saw spear to finish opponents or fend off mobs. If you scale more with Btg then you may want to exchange the Saw Spear with the Rifle Spear, since the Blades of Mercy scale with Arcane, focusing on your initial build with arcane and fire enchantments may prove more useful than investing in Btg but this build at least gives you diversity.

                          • I've tried many builds, and do like the different types of builds: skill only (may become/strength or /arcane), strength/arcane, bloodtinge/skill, and I plan to try even more types of builds, my first build was skill only, with SOME arcane, but isn't optimized (lvl 111). my first build, 170, was also a skill build, I think its 90 arcane and 50 skill but started as skill build).

                            TLDR: No matter my build style, I never had as much fun as I did when I played an arcane-focused build. So that's what I did, and was rewarded by the Kos Parasite and Moonlight Sword.

                            Here's my lvl 98 arcane build:
                            Cruel Fate
                            Vit: 30
                            End: 25
                            Str: 16
                            Skill: 12
                            Tinge: 5
                            Arcane: 60
                            In hindsight I would probably swap endurance and vitality.
                            Black Sky Eye: 317+ damage, from almost hunter pistol distance, and doesn't cause aggro, very fast projectile
                            Gloves: 730+/- dmg if all three hit. Can shotgun when close up, or cause distraction to hunters in pvp.
                            Augur: 354+ knockdown (don't use much, got damage based on calculation)
                            Call Beyond: 1700+ depending on how many hit and what boss it is; can easily take down amydgala (a-mig-da-la (its in your brain) in 3-4 shots.

                            It's best to know the weaknesses of bosses when fighting and using an arcane build, otherwise, things such as moonlight blade, sawspear with great gems, and a leveled up tonitrus/boomhammer with/without gems are great weapons (you could just weild a boomhammer and tonitrus and be on your merry way).

                            Anyways you use your tools and a lot of your fighting is long distance. The tonitrus and sawspear with a fire gem on it is the best way to kill enemies, I usually fight with tonitrus (always transformed) like so: R1>R1>L1>R1>R1>L1 the transform attack ensures it's always boosted and the R1's can be changed to R2's but the transform attack is a good attack and does good damage.

                            Early in the game you will be upgrading arcane and endurance, and every once in a while adding some to health, you want arcane to be as high as possible. Since hunters tools let you attack from far away, health is least priority, where getting high arcane quickly is a high priority. You can farm the area after the nightmare mensis boss guy, (pigs) with all your echo runes equipped to get mega high blood echos to level up any remaining low level stats.

                            THIS IS A RUNNING BUILD and focuses HEAVILY on getting and using hunters tools asap. EVERY NEW AREA YOU ENCOUNTER YOUR FIRST PRIORITY SHOULD BE TO RUN DIRECTLY TO ALL SHORTCUTS AND OPEN THEM, LIGHTING ALL TORCHES ALONG THE WAY. I usually run the first area, open all shortcuts, grab the sawspear, grab workstation badge, grab hunter armor, bold hunters mark to dream. Pick up all items possible from dream (i get cane and pistol). Return to Yarnham, kill all baddies, pick up all items in area, gain insight from skulls. (you can do this step before returning to dream after getting sawspear and armor). Ring for help for Cleric Beast, kill everyone on way to Cleric Beast. Level up (20 arcane, 14 endurance). Ring for help for Father, use Molotov's after he transforms while your two beat him to death. Kill guys and get enough echos for the badge or traverse old Yarnham > kill bloodstarved beast, take shortcut, and open gates. Help crow (if you choose). Ignore all enemies (said previously) run and open all shortcuts (elevator>gate) kill witches of yarnham. Ring for help and kill beast woman in castle (use Molotov's in final stage of fight). Get tonitrus by being killed by snatcher (not your ex gf that you found out had stds). Tonitrus will be a staple for your arcane build, so is the sawspear with fire dmg. Sawspear has 20% dmg to beasts plus making it fire kills beasts fast.
                            Forbidden Forest: Light torch, run to left of area (not the part where you fall). Talk to lamp and get stone. Kill all dogs in cages as fast as possible (its possible to have only 1 or 2 dogs loose), take a left, get unopened summons. Go to Hemwick Charnel Lane, stand by statue, get executioner gloves. Then you go back and farm all the areas and kill any bosses you haven't killed. The idea is to skip all bosses you don't have to kill, and to get all hunters tools as fast as possible.

                            Did you know, in old Yarnham, using the Hunter's torch, you can kill the regular beasts in three hits from the torch, and 4 to 5 hits for the bigger ones that have stuff covering their heads. The torch does more dmg than a non leveled up saw spear and non leveled up cane. No joke.

                              Basically did a strength/skill setup with the DLC weapons. Full executioners set, stake driver and whirligig saw in primary weapon slots, sidearms are hunter's torch and repeating pistol. Runes (all maxed) are communion, anti clockwise and clockwise metamorphosis, and hunter. Covenant is hunter of hunters. Reduced need for vitality and endurance due to runes, so short range weapons like the stake driver are viable, if not optimal, for this build.

                              • I was unable to make a separate page for my build, the link leads to nothing so im posting it here XDStill working on a name...Level 120Vitality: 40Endurance: 20Strength: 32Skill: 20Bloodtinge: 16Arcane: 42IF you couldnt tell its an arcane/strength build. My weapons of choice are the Holy moonlight sword and the Logarius wheel both 10+. my left handed weapons are the Hunter pistol and the hunters torch which I rarely use either. I wear the Black hooded iron helm, bone ash armor, gauntlets and leggings. I usually just have a bunch of hunter tools selected but sometimes I equip sedatives or other useful items. I dont remember the name of my runes or the level but I get max vials +4, max QS bullets +3, more echoes slain from enemies (the one inside the micolash boss fight) and I have the Impurity rune even though I dont play co-op with the exception of NPC's. For arcane resistant bosses I change my weapon temporarily to the Tonitrus 8+ (specifically in the one reborn fight) I focus on using long range attacks with my transformed HMS making sure to use the L2 and R2 a lot. I change to the Logarius wheel when I specifically want damage. I tend to use the R2 a lot and rarely use the buff by pressing L2. I use the Blacksky eye mostly but I will also use the executioners glove and a call beyond with large bosses.

                                  I'm in love with my Strength + Bloodtinge build that the DLC made more viable. I enjoy the heavy-hitting weapons, but also like firearms and the Madaras Whistle.

                                    From when I was level 110 I got 30k echoes from killing an invader. The next invader gave only 8k. The damage they did was also negligible. Basically, the match making matches you with high level players and really low level players. So why stop at any certain level?

                                    • 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

Bloodied Chikage does a lot of damage but you need to time when you use it to avoid unnecessary life drain. Evelyn is used to damage ranged enemies or set up a visceral attack. Works great in PVE and PVP.

                                          Lvl 123 - I call it Tanky 50 Vit 40 End 50 Str 14 Skl 5 Tin 15 Arc Great Lake Lake Anti-Clockwise Metamorphosis (15% Stam) Main the Logarius Wheel with Cannon for bosses. Loved it first playthrough, just pop a lead elixir in front of a boss and laugh. Love it in NG+ as well, problem is I've hit a wall in the area of leveling. I can raise my Strength above 50, but I cant seem to justify 5 levels for 6 damage, for example. I can raise my Skl to 50 and drop the Wheel for a Holy Blade but I am cautious of spreading my stats too thin. But it's tempting cause I'm not a huge fan of the Wheel other then the damage. I can raise my Arc to 50 to bring the bottom line for the Wheel up... a little, as well as open up the hunter tools which I enjoyed on another build, especially executioner glove. Those are my options, as I see them. Opinions?

My arcanee is used for the magic enhancment spell so my atk does some magical goodness to my weak willed foes (Cept Ghernam........lets not talk about that) The Saw Blade doesnt take up much stamina and for my runes i used them all during various situations demanded from me.

I beat the entirety of the game, including all chalice dungeons, at level 28. all you need, really, is the best possible gems.
