I believe that everyone is familiar with the Tower Shield Black Phantom in 4-1. My buddy and I have made speculations that this character could very well be Vallarfax. I'm not sure if this is correct but it seemed the most logical. So if you want to use the Tower Shield, then you can pump up the Endurance until you get the mobility with the Ring of Great Strength. Here is the equation: a=base equip weight at each endurance level, b=added equip weight from RoGS, c=total amount of equip weight, d=amount you can equip and be able to roll; (An example) 50 Endurance with the RoGS a (79) / 2 = 39.5 I tried to make the equation as simple as possible. Hope that people use this when needing to find the equip burden. Armor:

Vallarfax, Of The Twin Fangs
Vallerfax wielding a GS? That's almost a Carbon Copy of Biorr, with a shield instead of a crossbow (which is useless anyway) I'd say go for maybe some form of Claymore or even go with a Morning Star +10 for variety.
+1 for creative idea.
Thanks for the positive feedback. i will take ur changes into consideration and make the changes when i look into it a little more. i just figured that this game has been out for over a year and no one has made a Vallarfax character. I like to be original!

Also, you figure if they are called "The Twin Fangs" they would weild close to the sam thing. The Great Swords are each Fang???I really dont know…

Biorr and Vallarfax are brothers,
Biorr being the elder of the 2, they both had the same gear:
Vallafax's BW set in 1-1 pit, his GS in 1-3, his RoGS in 1-1 dragon pit, his crossbow in 3-1.
i made a Biorr build, however mine is a beefed up version of this and much more of a powerhouse, nice build +1 from me
The level is too high, you really don't need the full brushwood set as it will only be a hindrance. Not sure if you noticed, but the npc's have much higher hp, defense, and attack power than can be accomplished with a reasonable soul level. I discourage the use of the scraping spear because it takes a coward to use it. Use another crushing weapon for variety in your moveset.
@TearsOfBlood: the items you listed were all found on separate bodies, I don't see how they corellate. It's all hypothetical, but my best guess was that Vallarfax would be similar to biorr but would use faith weapons. Twin doesn't have to mean identical, right?
Edit: look to comment below
I like the idea of this build. It raise the defansive power to the highest level. But I have several suggestions that you may want to consider. First, since you use the tower shield, you should consider spear as your main weapon. you can use the scraping spear if you want to be more like Vallarfax, but I also discourage the use of the scraping spear, so winged spear I suggest. Second, your SL is too high, try to use some smaller weapon like baby's nail +5 or crushing knight sword+5 if you really want a crushing weapon. By doing this you should be able to lower you endurance by some points. Lower your vitality to 40-45 and if you give up crushing weapon, you can lower your strength to 30(put the 10 points to dex if you want higher attack power for your spear). Third, you have 15 intelligence and you really don't need any spell? At least put a death cloud in case you need it. And finally, replace your TOG with Tob.
Otherwise this build looks interesting, I will try this kind of build tomorrow, bushwood set + tower shield looks cool. +1 from me.
This is the first time i comment others build and I am not an English speaker, please tolerate my English. ;-)
The endurance needs to be high because the tower shield and the brushwood armor equal a total 76 pounds!!! This build is a tank so your gonna need that extra vitality. The 15 int is for second chance. you need 100mp in order to cast is and this is the minimal point that you can have just above 100. Its cool that you like my build and i hope it works out for u.

rather than the tower shield, use the brushwood shield because it's lighter. It's probably what Vallarfax would have used anyway since Biorr didn't have it. My guess that V was a faith build was probably wrong, but i do suspect he was the wielder of the DBS since it was stuck in the ground in world 2 and had no owner. The regular great sword doesn't make Vallarfax any different from his brother and was found on a regular body, which wouldn't make sense.
Thanks for this, i've been looking to create a Vallarfax build for some time now. The build looks interesting and is definately the sort of build that would work for the character i have in mind. I will try this build out tomorrow see how it goes thanks again.
Sweet looking build will try it sometime but I'm afraid your information about Vallarfax is wrong XD the tower shield black phantom is actually Alfred, the Tower Knight. In fact all three of those black phantoms are one of the knights mentioned by Ostrava. Alfred, Metas, and Oolan.
when i heard the name its look like he is a long hair
Biorr Suggests that Vallerfax may be a very different build from him.
"My brother-in-arms, Vallarfax of the Twin Fangs, was a brave and mighty knight.
Unlike myself, he was the master of more than the sword, Vallarfax's mind was sharper than most scholars.
Dark times has befallen us. If our Lord, with the esteemed help of Vallarfax, could not prevent it…
then no one could have."
I took this to mean he has some casting capability, but since the ring implies combat I have always figured that he is a spell/sword build.
He is a mercenary, wears scholar ring and knight ring, plus chain and steel +2, he uses the GreatSword of Judgment, and is level 13, a killing machine, he wears morne armor, and indeed i have made him a Longhair, so he uses the Cornix crown, great build :)
