| Gameplay tips and progression |
Once you are done with the character creation, enter the Tutorial level. I always do this level because you can get quite if a lot of souls after defeating the Vanguard, as well as, a number of healing items and upgrade materials. After you beat World 1-1, you should start putting stats into Strength, Faith, Vitality, and Endurance. You should definently focus on obtaining the Blueblood Sword's required stats ASAP!!! To obtain the Blueblood Sword:
You can farm the Crystal Lizards in World 5 for the Faintstones needed to get the Blessed Knight Sword as well as the Shamans in that level. When I get done creating this new version and testing out the PvP, I will add it onto the this page. I must thank Astrichtyes for making me do all of these changes. I hope that this build will go up instead of down now. Please leave any comments below reguarding weapons, armor, rings, spells/miracles, or stats. It is possible to reach Soul Level 128 in the first New Game. It may require quite a bit of Farming but it is worth being prepared. Please contact me through Private Message on this wiki, username DemonFyre, if you have any questions, comments, or concerns. This build may have PvP qualities but they need to be testes. I plan on doing this and I will get back to you. Chao! |
Paladin (Revised)
A very sturdy build indeed. I would consider using the demonbrandt (or northern regalia, to a less pure extent) so you can stick to Cecil's purely good nature but, thats just a suggestion. I'd take 2 out of End and 2 out of vit if it came to putting in the demonbrant/northern regalia. As for the lava bow; your dex and mag just aren't high enough to be seriously effective. Honestly, This set seems a bit vit based so as I've said before, I heavily suggest the northern regalia/demonbrant or since this set has high faith, I'd also consider Istraelle. All in all, overall good ideas and a very good starting point.
acctually, it really dosent look like a vit build at all. the vit is too low for that. i think that it is more of a blueblood sword build that mixes in a good combination of magic defense and good backup magic
While it doesn't have godly vitality it still has very low base stats with the exception of faith. I think that is what Carlo meant.

Seeing how the BBs is the main weapon the others stats dont play into it. The weapon draws from luck and that stat is high enough. the Istarelle draws an "S" from faith, which is also high. i only have the lava bow in there bcause u eventually need a long range weapon.

I was looking at this build and saw how kewl it was. i have looked into the combination of different types of builds. I think that a blueblood sword/ faith combo is one of the most effective types of builds that u can make. +1
I think that you should maybe take a few points out of either end or vit and put them into mag or faith. other than that, this is a good build and im soooo gonna make it.
i will definently consider all of these changes.

ohhh man. Cecil is my most favorite character from FFIV. are you ever gonna make any other types of FFIV builds?
u should consider Kain (or however u spell it) and edge. maybe rydia too
i totally agree with u on that one. Cecil is the man!!!!!!!!!!
i didnt think that this build was gonna get popular at all! Thanks to everyone for the contribution. especially my friends jasonhaley and Waymaker!!!! u guys are awesome

What the fuck? What's up with this piece of shit build? It's ass, it's unoriginal, and all it is is another fucknut BBS build! TRY SOMETHING ORIGINAL. - for failure.
Uh….okay, so you don't like the BBS….have you looked at a lot of the other builds? Try posting something a non-biased opinion, or even better, move out of your mom's basement and get some real friends.

Are kidding me? I'm sick of douchebags like you masking their builds' bullshit with a blueblood sword. Try using a sword that focuses on your high stat and no, that shouldn't be more than one.
On the contrary DUMBASS, a BBS faith build is actually quite original. And don't hate the sword, you're just jealous of its awesome.
the BBS is the BEST weapon in the game. at soul level 712, it has a maximum attack power of 249 physical and 249 magical. do some research before you start hating on popular builds. noobv

no, its not the best… to say, luck diminishes after 25, its useless after 40. at 99 luck it only gains a 15 dmg boost. basically, 40 - 99 is completely useless
Woah dude. watch the language. just because u may disagree with a build, it dosent mean that u need to cuss people out
there are a few things that i would consider changing.
first- why dont you add the large sword of moonlight into the build?
second- maybe you should add either cursed weapon (18 int) or light weapon. it would add some well needed extra damage.
just something to think about
This has to be ten times better as your last faith/BBS build, Holy Blueblood swordsman was it? Anyhow, it seems you focused your stat distribution more wisely on the areas that matter. ^_^ You took away some intellegence, luck and dexterity that wasn't needed, in favour to health and endurance. however the lack of a weapon buff will make it harder to pull of a quick-kill, so I guess turpentine is your best friend? XD But you'll get a good survivalbility boost with the high magic defence and the second chance - ward fallback setup. :D Oh yeah about that PM. There's a difference in making a good build, and just being plain skilled at a game you've played through 17++ times. XD Your last build was, sorry to say, crap, but this one rocks. No obvious, faceplant in corn flakes flaws detected. ;D
1+

Thanks man. to be honest, it took me a few months to work out all the flaws from my last build. i acctually wasnt trying to make this build a replica of the Holy Blueblood Swordsman, it just sort of happened. i find it really hard to make a full on faith build, so i have been thinking of ways to combine it with other types of stats/weapons. thanks for the positive feedback!!!

Yeah, I can see that. ^_^ BBS is a bitch to hybrid, but you pulled it off. XD Unfortunetly, I'm too casual to make my own build, but I love this game and site too much to see good and creative consepts for a build (Holy BBS build) go to waste. So, if I seem trolling from time to time, it's because I see potential, but poor execution. ;) Kudos to you for your Paladin. XDAnd BTW, I believe in the power of constructive feedback. :D

This BBS will be quite weak without casting Light Weapon by an Insanity Catalyst. I dont get it …..?
I'm guessing this is not for PvP…..
This build trades off the LW for doubled survivalability. ^_^ You start a match with SC then, when the second chance cracks, you cast ward as it is much quicker than SC. ;) Plus the high faith stat make you more resistant to magic attacks, with the original BBS-build you had to rely on the Dark Silver Shield whenever fighting a mage or spellsword build. -_-' but yeah, no LW is a huge downer so you're gonna have to rely on turpentine on this one. XD
