Gameplay tips and progression	not much explaining needed, most ppl are familiar wit str builds just wash rinse and repeat. vit should be no less than 47, its a pretty idealistic number, because its just enough to allow u to survive a backstab from a foes ring sharp +5 cursed uchigatana user if ur in body form. 66 str is to maximize the dmg output in two hands (99 str). if u go to 67 nd two hand, its the same as if u two hand wit 66, nd it scrapes the dmg output of dex builds, nd matches the output of an optimized quality build, although greatly increases the hp. finally, the brass telescope serves as a free substitute to augite. after triumphing over any bps u encounter, or any demon slayers for that matter, just whip out ur brass telescope, which if they have emotions at all will piss them off :) enjoy. my psn is xXoG_aSsAsSiiNxX msg if u have any questions.

your strength is waaaaaaayyyyyy to high man. the scaling really stops after 50 and there isnt much point after that. except maybe to look cool. i personally dislike the DBS. it is too slow and very predictable. if u memorize the attack patterns and the way a person moves, then u will never get hit by it. (i have tested this on multiple occasions, never been killed by one.) if u remove the DBS, then it opens the way for better armor. just something to think about. not gona minus anything for it though.
