Maybe you don't know that after this patch dual status weapons of the same status effect nerfed so it's better now to have 1 reduvia in one hand and one other dager with frostbite in the other hand
I'm new to the game, currently I have bloodstained on the left and reduvia on the right, is this good? Or is there any added effect if you use similar weapons for both hands?
That will be perfect man. Reduvia is one of the best daggers in the game and will work well with this build! Congrats on being new to the community!@@luckypromiseable
You dont need to start as Bandit to get the Great Knife, you get them from the demi-human hiding in the bush at the start of the lakeside crystal cave, has a better drop rate and works better with DEX whereas the bloodstained dagger scales better with STR
I honestly really like this build its straight forward, decently easily to obtain, plus you leave just enough room open for us to make are own tweaks. Idk how good bleed builds are anymore but I still want to give this one a try. Thanks for laying it out so well.
I was just about to play the silent killer from the desert(like cosplay) and came across your video. I think your build is perfect for my playstyle. Thank you!
Great video! Short and sweet with a ton of info. Hey, quick thought - I was just now starting a Bandit class and they start with the Great Knife dagger which is pretty much identical to the Bloodstained dagger; both having native bleed. I believe they also are a rare drop from some demi-humans. So potentially that much easier to get good starting gear.
An alternative for armor if you don't mind losing the white mask buff, in Ordina you can find the Black knife armor set which makes you completely silent if wearing the whole set
I'm doing ok so far have great knife occult with quickstep main hand and reduvia off hand dragon communion Seal incase if bleed resistant enemies. Hit box for daggers is non existent so it's a bit of a challenge...
The Reduvias are top notch for a dagger bleed build. The reduvia blade skill quickly stacks up into the thousands if done in quick succession; highest ive gotten was 13k dmg on an enemy in the mountaintops
This seems like the perfect build that could utilize ENDURE Gives you hyper armour and mega defense Add the dragoncrest greatshield talismam with stamina/armour And youll still have all the damage you have but about 3-4X more defense And un-interuptable hyper armour
while this is good i think getting a [Reduvia] and the [great knife] from the bandit starting class is better, at least until you get a second [Reduvia] or trade in patches emporium. the great knife also has bleed (i think around 35 or so not sure tho) and it scale with dex which i think its better than the strength scaling for a knife build. I got the [great knife] from a demihuman outside of lakeside crystal cave but i am not sure on the drop rate so maybe check on the wiki before starting the farm.
Great Knife is one of the only 2 weapons with bleed that reach A scaling in Arcane with the Occult affinity (alongside Spiked Club) so it's certainly BiS for this kind of build. Endure also carries this set-up unfathomably hard.
Since it's an easy dagger to farm, I wonder if its worth having a third one with determination on it so you can get you lifesteal going without being staggered out of your combo in boss fights. Keep the gambit dagger in the back pocket and swap it in while exploring.
@@pastorgainzgames I used it on my wolverine claws build! Lots of regen (w incants) and heals on hit and kill (offhand serpent sword, godskin swaddling, rykard great rune) and determination was a great way to poise thru the hits and keep the blender going 😊 would recommend!
Daggers are one weapon I have never experimented with. How do you feel they stack up against claws and curved swords? They initially appeared to me to be in an awkward place, but it does look fun and this far into the games cycle isn’t that why we’re all here.
So Let me lay it out for you in my opinion. Based on the buff's that daggers have recently received they are in a really good spot. I don't think its fair to compare them to curved swords because almost nothing can beat the damage output of 2 curved swords. Their Hitboxes are a little smaller and more awkward than claws ( at least thats what I heard) but nonetheless they are still a really fun class of weapon to use. Some of my favorite actually.
@@pastorgainzgames Had a quick go with that bulid style, using blood stained dagger > which I surprisingly picked already and then Reduvia in main hand. It can really throw some numbers out there but it's a high risk / high reward go. Biggest complaint is the AOW selection, a bit limited. I think personally if I'm going for a quick multi-hit build I prefer the middleground of twinblades, two handed. Lots of AOWs, not cheesy like the powerstance twinblades and you can still block counter with a two hit return which is unique. I like running it with Implaing Thrust which actually combos really strong into a followup attack. All that being said though I do like it and it was worth experimenting with, likely give it some further playtime later this week > I enjoyed it more than a curved sword powerstance / claws / fists though I will say, so if anyone is pulled towards those weapons they should absotuely give this a go. I would prioritize Vigor a bit more for sure, but then again I'm not amazing at the game > but you will be trading damage frequently. Keep up the niche builds, keep my ER interest alive.
@@mattwalker2818 haha thanks man I’m glad you enjoyed it! Yeah I will probs tweak it somewhat and make a build that does a little more damage and streamline a few things but overall I love ot
having the main dagger being assassin's gambit seems like a waste, so many other options that you can utilize past the initial contact, endure, royal knights resolve, blood hound step. Same with the dagger talisman, drop that and take lord of blood, if you have milicents and its your first play through put on the regular winged sword since they boost eachother, a lot of things can be done to utilize more DPS vs initial burst. There daggers, you're not going to poise break that often so having something that is more consistent will be better in the long run.
I get what ur sayin, but overall the damage u are putting out with this build kills enemies maybe 2 seconds slower than if u put any other ashes of war on them. Since this was my first playthrough on this build I didn’t have all of those talismans so I had to make do with what I had but u are not wrong in terms of the talismans you mentioned. I liked the dagger talisman for backstabs and when I knocked people off horses 😊
@@pastorgainzgames I definitely get that, mostly commented in case other people wanted alternatives to Rotten Winged Sword, and really show the versatility of the build, i ended up farming for 2 of them after watching!
@@FlashyKG LOL dude thank you for being such a kind member of the community man. It really means a lot that you are lookin out for others here and offering such great advice!
Great video! I am currently on a bandit with Reduvia in main hand because I love the mid range attack built into it. In the other hand currently have Misericorde which I slapped blood affinity on. Seems to be working very well so far but since I have not improved either weapon yet, would my Great Knife be better than the Misericorde? I liked the high crit on it but could easily swap it out at this point!
I just finished my first run. You didn't cover much of the arcane part. Can you comment on that? This will be my next build for sure, since i relied so much on my shield, this will be pretty sure challenging for me.
@@pastorgainzgamessorry i'm not very good at the game i dont have a great understanding but what im trying to say is can you talk more about what point in the progression of the game where we can find this items so i know once i get let's say past a certain boss i know i can go and collect more items. not so much where bc i use wiki but it'd be nice to know what i can get now (when i beat the first main boss), to when i beat the second main boss
If your running the knives in pvp or want less bleed dependent damage chright made a video about it, the best ar from a non special dagger is the celebrants sickle also the godskin swaddling cloth dose a rotten sword type eccect but with helth regen instead of damage
would dual reduvias be better if you could get 2? also, didnt dual wielding status effects receive a huge nerf? isnt it better to one hand a curve sword with bleed or something? genuinely curious
They did get a nerf but the nerf only makes it so u kill like 1.5 seconds slower which isn’t noticeable with daggers. And yes 2 reduvias would be the best but not all people could get 2 on playthrough 1 😏
i just don't understand why you wouldn't use the Reduvia instead of the blood bloodstained dagger. it gets arcane scaling that would go much better with your build.
@pastorgainzgames i get that, and the video is a year old, but i personally would use one reduvia and one BSD. great video though, i got a lot of useful info out of it!
Oh I think they’re referring to the knife that the bandit class starts with. The “Great knife”. The Great Knife is also a Dex scaling knife which I believe the bloodstained knife is more of a strength scaling knife.
Why have the dagger talisman over running millicents & rotten? Yes you can get some crits in, but being able to consistently have even higher dps during fights(since you don't have great stagger with daggers) is much more valuable Edit: also omen killer rolo ashes had the highest bleed build up for a summon!
So because I don’t have the Milicents, I didn’t use it, the most min maxed build would be Milicents, rotten, and shard. But since it was a first playthrough I didn’t have all of that yet☺️ but still a really good time! As far as staggers u are right but if u can get a backstab or a ground stab it’s amazing. Yes rolo is NUTTY!!
@pastorgainzgames for a only 1 playthrough that makes sense a lot. Even then I'd possibly reccomend using ritual or even something like kindred rot (either with poison infuse or snake sheild bite to proc). However, dagger talisman with Misericorde is *chefs kiss*
@@themuffinprincesa21 Indeed I have looked into that dagger to just crush people. Also I use to do a bunch of builds at like NG+6 stats and people were upset because everything looked OP at that level so I dialed it back to first and second playthroughs :)
@pastorgainzgames you can easily get "OP" builds even at meta ranges 120-150 with just knowing what talismans to use and ashes. Like the poison build with venom fangs can be done super early with NG file. Kindred rot- winged talismans or millicent- whatever you want really. Go 80 arc with occult and just watch how hilariously easy the game is. Snake bite sheild can activate the buff from mushroom helm & kindred right at the start and then and L1 combo will stack the winged just like daggers but with extremely high physical damage. This allows you to take down anything even those immune to the unique deadly poison the weapon applies vs regular posion
@@pastorgainzgamesI’ve read that it was reduced blood build up when using the same weapons and/or affinity. So something like Reduvia + Bloodstained Knife or Great Knife + bleed grease/Bloodflame blade would negate the nerf. Maybe. I can’t test it until next week though. I love min maxing 😃
U for sure could do that but with the damage I was doing I didn’t feel it was 100% necessary however u can take out dagger talisman for that. I also dunno if I had it on this character at the time
Don't like the Bloodstained Dagger...it scales with STR. I still prefer the Great Knife you can find somewhere; or can start with...then rush to Stormveil to get the Misericorde.
I think you can use white mask(head),black knight armor or raptor black feather(armor), socceror machetes (hand),traveler boot(legs) for me it’s more like a assassin style!
didnt they reduce the amount of status buildup if you dual wield weapons with the same status effect? wouldnt that make eleonoras poleblade a far better option for a bleed build?
With daggers you attack so fast you really cannot tell. Also the pole blade is an elite weapon that is probably the best status effect weapon out there so it would def make a build better
@@pastorgainzgames wdym leaving negative comments? it is how it is you're a content creator. Have you try it on a fresh chracter because I do BTW im a subscriber no hate im just sayin my experienced with this build
@@biggfootbojo not sure how u didn’t find the build good, also said it was a 150 build, which means by the time u get to 100-150 it shreds, every build isn’t it gonna be amazing until end game usually.
@@pastorgainzgames I think its a fun build but unlike other build you don't need to hit that level to become effective besides we don't even have a rune grinding farm 'til post end game except for lenny's rise which is time consuming like I said if they want to progress as fast as possible this is not the build. Im playing this build rn and even those miners in selia crystal tunnel gave me a hard time since I need to use my 2 hand for 1 dagger and i cant even break their stance so they keep attacking me. did you get the picture? it is just one of my problem. Every build in this game is amazing! i know and they all have pros and cons
@@pastorgainzgames and thank you for this video. I haven't heard about bloodstained dagger til i watch this vid and this is actually the reason i tried that dagger
I'm sorry but this build is quite bad. First of all Bloodstained Dagger has inate bleed; why are you putting your offhand dagger on Blood? You should just put both daggers on Occult affinity, level up Acane to 80 and just put enough Strength and Dex to equip the daggers. Also 40 Vigor is quite low for a dagger build, higher level enemies could easily two shot you especially since daggers are not great at poise breaking.
Thanks for the feedback maybe I’ll pin the comment and let everyone know the build is bad before they judge it for themselves and save them the time of watching the video. Clearly you can see in every fight I showcase that I am shredding through bosses. The difference in kill time would be 2 seconds between what you suggested and what I enjoyed playing with. Which overall isn’t a massive amount of time. But I appreciate it!
Listen, builds like this should just spark your own creativity > is it min / maxed, no. There is a lot more potentially in the build, however I like the fact that this is pointed towards early game items and is showing something not everyone else is > that’s honestly why I’m drawn to this channel. If you’re looking for dual seppuku meta builds there are hundreds of other people doing that. Enjoy the content or find content you do enjoy, that’s what RUclips is all about. It’s just as easy to offer advice as insults.

No, you do not have to have these ashes of war and I don’t even think that the reduvia will let you swap out. It’s ash of war either.
I think they nerfed this because I put a blood affinity on mine and its up to its old base of 84
Weird I am not sure then. I don't think any patches came out to nerf but I could be wrong
Been farming the dagger for about an hour to no success, killing it very quickly too...I'm just unlucky...
Bro no way!!! Silver tear mask? Silver pickled foul foot?
I keep seeing "everyone uses the reduvia" but I have been the only one ive seen remotely using it in months. 😂
Lol cause it’s old news I think. It’s a dagger everyone knows is insane. However me personally I wanted to try something new 💯
Weren’t status effects when power stanced (blood build up) severely nerfed a while back?
Believe it was powerstancing weapons not not status effects? But u can see the damage in the video it’s pretty high
@@pastorgainzgamesI’ve read that it was reduced blood build up when using the same weapons and/or affinity. So something like Reduvia + Bloodstained Knife or Great Knife + bleed grease/Bloodflame blade would negate the nerf. Maybe. I can’t test it until next week though. I love min maxing 😃
why not use the great knife it has higher dex and arcane scaling for like 10 less base ar
U can use that if you want, I just choose these because I really enjoyed using them. Plus at the time I didn’t have the great knife ☺️
@@pastorgainzgames unless it is for the roleplay they don't any other moveset
@@findot777 yeah these were just the ones I liked ☺️feel free to use those if you wish
What about the locations to find the items?
What do u need to find? I put dagger locations and I have talisman location videos on my channel as well😎
@@pastorgainzgames Just the stuff on the video.
@@sahranack2930 So My next few videos I tell you where to get the items I am using. I am noticing that this question is being asked a few times
Idk if maybe Im doing something wrong but im at Rhadan with +11s and its not proccing and barely does damage
It’s because u have +11’s you arcane might also be too slow, and ur probably not 150 with full star spread ☺️
Great Knife.
Solid choice
Why not use the blood lords talisman for the damage increase when blood proc happens
U for sure could do that but with the damage I was doing I didn’t feel it was 100% necessary however u can take out dagger talisman for that. I also dunno if I had it on this character at the time
You should use the black knife armour
That’s an option but I honestly hate how it looks lol
Yeah it only can look good with certain builds
@@shadowsprocreatetips9224 Agreed man
Don't like the Bloodstained Dagger...it scales with STR. I still prefer the Great Knife you can find somewhere; or can start with...then rush to Stormveil to get the Misericorde.
That’s fair do what u gotta do my friend
You can use black knight armor too,right 😅
I think you can use white mask(head),black knight armor or raptor black feather(armor), socceror machetes (hand),traveler boot(legs) for me it’s more like a assassin style!
I see I could!
Not a bad drip dude
Thx
@@mybakerygame of course
didnt they reduce the amount of status buildup if you dual wield weapons with the same status effect?
wouldnt that make eleonoras poleblade a far better option for a bleed build?
With daggers you attack so fast you really cannot tell. Also the pole blade is an elite weapon that is probably the best status effect weapon out there so it would def make a build better
1:23 it took me 2 tries 😭
U did it😎😎
Pretty sure the thief starting weapon has bloodloss buildup.
Yes it does but i didn’t start with that class so I didn’t have it right away 😎
@@pastorgainzgames Quite sure it'll end up better, and doesn't take much effort to grind out :)
@@zer00rdie it’s possible but I wanted to try something new with this build 😎 something I hadn’t done before
Black knife armor?
If u want
No lord of blood talisman?
Didn’t have it on this char at the time but def use that
Why don't you use Reduvia ??
I mention it in the video but, EVERYONE, knows about that weapon. Plus u cannot get 2 your first playthrough so I didn’t want to use it☺️
Reduvia goes great with the greatknife
@@tibicarlos true story my friend
5 hours to get one dagger I swear any build I try my account is cursed 😂
LOL dude no!!!! Well I hope you Enjoy it non the less
9:24
If you want to progress on your first playthrough as fast as possible, this is not the build.
Lol ur so funny bro, what’s it like leaving negative comments on peoples videos on the internet. This build was super fun
@@pastorgainzgames wdym leaving negative comments? it is how it is you're a content creator. Have you try it on a fresh chracter because I do BTW im a subscriber no hate im just sayin my experienced with this build
@@biggfootbojo not sure how u didn’t find the build good, also said it was a 150 build, which means by the time u get to 100-150 it shreds, every build isn’t it gonna be amazing until end game usually.
@@pastorgainzgames I think its a fun build but unlike other build you don't need to hit that level to become effective besides we don't even have a rune grinding farm 'til post end game except for lenny's rise which is time consuming like I said if they want to progress as fast as possible this is not the build. Im playing this build rn and even those miners in selia crystal tunnel gave me a hard time since I need to use my 2 hand for 1 dagger and i cant even break their stance so they keep attacking me. did you get the picture? it is just one of my problem. Every build in this game is amazing! i know and they all have pros and cons
@@pastorgainzgames and thank you for this video. I haven't heard about bloodstained dagger til i watch this vid and this is actually the reason i tried that dagger
It took me two hours to get this
Well done!
WHERE ARE THE RUNES
I don't put them in the video because thats personal preference of min maxing IMO
The black knife set? You didn’t think of that as an “assassin outfit”? Ffs
That set looks terrible.
2 hours later and the demi human still hasn’t dropped a single dagger🥲
DUDE NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. I am so sorry
It only took me 50 attempts😂 only in souls games
Lol u are not wrong bro!
This build...so there is such a thing as an easy mode for Elden Ring
Lol yes there is man
Seems like an early-(possibly)mid tier build
It could def be min maxed a little more but super fun none the less
I'm sorry but this build is quite bad. First of all Bloodstained Dagger has inate bleed; why are you putting your offhand dagger on Blood? You should just put both daggers on Occult affinity, level up Acane to 80 and just put enough Strength and Dex to equip the daggers. Also 40 Vigor is quite low for a dagger build, higher level enemies could easily two shot you especially since daggers are not great at poise breaking.
Thanks for the feedback maybe I’ll pin the comment and let everyone know the build is bad before they judge it for themselves and save them the time of watching the video. Clearly you can see in every fight I showcase that I am shredding through bosses. The difference in kill time would be 2 seconds between what you suggested and what I enjoyed playing with. Which overall isn’t a massive amount of time. But I appreciate it!
Listen, builds like this should just spark your own creativity > is it min / maxed, no. There is a lot more potentially in the build, however I like the fact that this is pointed towards early game items and is showing something not everyone else is > that’s honestly why I’m drawn to this channel. If you’re looking for dual seppuku meta builds there are hundreds of other people doing that. Enjoy the content or find content you do enjoy, that’s what RUclips is all about.
It’s just as easy to offer advice as insults.
