BlueBlood Sword PVP/PVE SL 80

---

Build summary	Decent… I have made it in the Past.. Don't remember the exact damage but is good all the same.
Recommended starting class(es)	Royalty
Recommended Soul Level
	Recommended stats (Leave at default (**) if not raised)
Vitality	25
Will/Intelligence	15
Endurance	25
Strength	12
Dexterity	18
Magic	18
Faith	18
Luck	30
Recommended equipment	Alright instead of filling this out… I had already made a guide I sent to one of my friends on the PS3. So I'll just Paste it here Vitality=============Health Carry weight = 914 120 Intelligence==========Memory MP = 2 106 Endurance==========Stamina Equip able Weight Fire Defense Bleed Resistance Poison Resistance = 117 54 39+ 73+ 73+ Strength============Attack Power = 63 Dexterity============Attack Power = 36 Magic===============Magic Power = 1800 Faith================Miracle slots Power M Defense = 2 1800 36 Luck================Item Occurrence Plague Resistance = 120 100 Alright so those stats are rough estimates… Don't expect them to be 100% accurate. Also the low strength means that this character is meant to ALWAYS and I mean ALWAYS 2-Hand the Blue-blood sword. The reasoning behind the 15 int is for Second chance which requires 100 MP just to use… There are alternate ways to achieve that such as Silver catalyst and the Silver coronet. The reasoning behind stopping the Luck at 30 is because after that the damage doesn't really increase as much. The 18's are just requirements for the BBS(Blue-blood Sword). The 25 Endurance is for Fluted armor the Whole set except helmet which I Substitute for The Assassin's Mask… Nothing special Just for looks. The reason for fluted is because It is the lightest but highest physical defense aid with decent M Defense and Resistances. Endurance could be lessened if for Ancient king's armor. And lastly the 25 vitality for more hp…. Beings that it is a PVP(Player vs. Player)Build more hp is needed… With the 914 hp + the Second chance "Half hp comeback" Your basically looking at 1371 hp Which is really high for a SL of 80.
Recommended spells/miracles	Alrighty then Read the Above ^^ Oh yeah… And also Light weapon enchant Is a decent spell to get will increase damage by quite a bit… There are alternatives instead of using your only 2 spell slots such as: Turpentine Black turpentine Sticky White Stuff Another reminder Rings: Ring of Great Strength Is a Must if you want FULL mobility… The other ring slot is Your choice
Gameplay tips and progression	Uhm I really wouldn't recommend Leveling this character past SL80 because Most Demon's Souls players are SL80 and below. Also A BBS(BlueBloodSword)Build isn't incredibly strong even with max stats… Easily surpassed by a Crude DEX or STR build. One Major flaw is that you cannot Have a shield… You can still block but It won't be as effective as a Shield Items to pressure another player in battle… Kunai For the poison Or have a +5 Baby's Nail on hand for Plague Also… Not as strong but Useful against Dark silver users Is the Spell Ignite A Point blank Fire damaging spell.

it is an interesting concept, however i think you would find that slightly less LUCK and slightly more MAG will benefit you greatly. And i refute that the BBS is a weak build, the damage output is very high with proper stats and is one of the preferred weapons to have max stats for because it only requires max LUCK and MAG outside of the wielding req's. Do NOT use the fluted set, use the king's or binded because they have no stamina penalty. If you need to lower the armor weight, fill a piece or two in with saints robes or parts of the rogue set.

I'll have to try that some other time…. But, Yes the BBS build Is good for up to NG++ but after that the performance Is that of a +3 short sword in The first play through Maybe a bit worse… But I could be exaggerating. True that the AK armor has no stam penalties But, With a level 80 BBSB You can expect results in 1 to 2 swings in which stam penalty wouldn't matter as much… Unless you are stab happy :P…

it really depends on how agressive you play. By NG++ and beyond, your damage output won't be magnificent, nor will it be with any other weapon. By that point, you should already have the game mastered well enough to rarely take a hit. And even should you pass on the AK set, the fluted set isn't significantly better. In fact, by that stage in the game, it will hardly affect your defense at all. Basically, warding saves your ass in normal playthroughs. I personally don't favor the BBS, mainly because i don't like the moveset ;p I would lower luck by 5 and raise MAG by 5 for more magic damage. Basically, the more damage you do of one type, the less it seems to be affected by defense (meaning your damage will shoot up after you pass your opponent's defensive threshold). Sorry if that doesn't make much sense, basically what makes the BBS so effective is that it is almost purely magic damage with LW.
