The entire Death Knight set boosts most of what you're using here and looks baddass. If you're worried about the poise soft cap switch out the legs for the malformed dragon greaves.
Death Knight DOES NOT boost anicent lightning (red lightning) it is only as its stated in the armor and is the Capital Dragon Cult (yellow lightning). Bolt of Granssax and Thundercloud form also do not get buffed as they are anicent lightning
Flame grant me strength and dragonbolt blessing counter each other when buffing. For example: you cast golden vow then dragonbolt blessing and to help healing either bestial vitality or blessing of the Erdtree, that's good but if you cast flame grant me strength ontop of that it will overwrite the dragonbolt blessing getting rid of it and replacing it with flame grant me strength. There is a in depth video on what buffs stack and what don't but here is the key factor in it. Buffs like Flame grant me strength, black flames protection, protection of the Erdtree, dragonbolt blessing (Vyke's dragonbolt), Howl of Shabriri and even the new florissax dragonbolt don't stack, instead they overwrite each other after one is applied. (P.S. Florissax dragonbolt also overwrites Golden vow removing the damage buff)
@@austinhuff5332 now this is the juice! Taken notes on this one bud, couldn't appreciate the feedback more. This will make future builds way more accurate when it comes to buffs so I thank you very much for sharing ur knowledge!
@@CFreshGaming I've been experimenting with the dragon bolt of florrisax and I've found out that it's classified as a aura buff like golden vow, so like golden vow it can be stacked with body buffs like Flame grant me strength, Dragon bolt blessing, vykes dragonbolt, black flames protection, protection of the erdtree, howl of shabriri, and can also stack with boiled crab and craftable buffs. The only buff it does not stack with is golden vow. I hope this info also helps in your future build videos.
I use a lightning based build myself with more focus on the incantations and I don't think the lightning buff spells stack with flame grant me strength. I may be wrong tho but when I used then I'm sure they override each other.
I’m doing a full out lightning sorcerer build, I’m abusing priestess heart, howl of shabrir, golden vow, lightning shrouding tear, the new red tear, along side with flower stone gavel. I’m hitting 7k consistently on Radahn with my knights lightning spear.
@CFreshGaming which lightning buff would you say is better? The red lightning buff needs a weapon that can be infused with doesn't it? I know the electrobody buff doesn't need a weapon as it casts on just the body alone
@amirmoneyplayz8757 gravel stone seal and the death knight armor set boosts ancient dragon lightning by quite a bit. I use 2 gravel stone seals with the full armor set for max damage. Bonus bc along with the 2 Weapons it also looks cool 😎
@@droskibaby00 yeah I have both gravel stone seals, the priestess heart buffs my dragon cult incants by 20% as the death knight armor does only 8%. I just really like seeing high numbers. Also flower stone gavel buffs lightning damage an enemies effected by 17% it’s a really cool addition 😎
If you guys want a pure lightning caster try switching the shard of alexander for Godfrey's icon, Knight's lightning spear deals a crap ton of damage with this on as well as dual weidling gravel stone seal or if it's your first playthrough offhand the gravel stone and use the erdtree talisman on the mainhand. Feel free to also swap out other talismans for the radagon icon if you want that faster cast time.
Id consider carrying around a flowerstone gavel on the offhand as well. Charged ash of war reduces enemy lightning damage negation by 30%, would pair pretty well with the build when trying to get a bunch of burst damage off.
i just tried to find this AoW you said, didnt find it, even on fextralife, can you tell me the correct name? i really wanna test around a bit to get the maximum out of this build. would be really thankful. :)
I like the DLC even though others may say otherwise for their own reasons. I definitely made a lighting axe and dual axe build with the Black Steel Twin blades. Im high level like 259 so i can carry more obviously. You video made me look for these things a few weeks ago. I had a lighting build in the base game late game so it was something I already liked. 😎
DLC is really good. I’m doing more faith and dex and can switch to back hand blades or katanas. Lightning axes also. Blasphemous in emergencies. Tearing shit up.
My main build is a lightning dex/fth build, lanseaxx glaive can be very useful its forward moving aoe splash does the same amount of stance damage at just hitting with the glaive, but still less damage than Fortisaxx ×2 spear.
@@CFreshGaming sorry if i didnt explain it well, not so much that it's high stance dmg but that it has knockdown on large enemies like omen, but yes it also deals its stance dmg equally from glaive to aoe splash.
nice vid. thanks man, keep it up. would be awesome if you could give us a cool only incatation build. i was looking for one bc i only played bleed builds in all my ng+ run (4th now) and i was getting so bored of it. so if you up to, i would just love it. this build btw, is really nice too. i like the style of it a lot. thanks again, hope ur channel grow up fast. :)
I just run the priestess heart, flowerstone gavel Arcane/faith and just go ham with knights lightning. Godfrey talisman, alexander shard, blue dancer, scorpion lightning charm and a damage mitigation talisman depending on what you are fighting. Shit slaps like a truck but is def a glass cannon build
Wow i typed “blinkbolt axe build” and urs was the first. Let this be the bar for the rest of ur videos quality….u got it bro. Im also a new youtuber as well. Currently doing a martial artes run on my channel
@@ObsidianShinobi801 heyy thank you so much I'm really happy this met the mark in quality and u enjoyed, that's awsome ur on youtube as well whats ur channle I wanna check it out!
If i use it ill main the great axe put the two hand talisman instead of incantation talisman and if you can charge the aow put the godfrey thing on too and use a regular ligthning spear just for utility and picking target instead.it would be less allrounder like this but it will be more mana efficient you will have more red potion and have more points for the weapons because you cannot change the scaling.
Ahhh see i started with that hammer, i felt it was really short but prob just my skill level in the game haha, but very nice combo on ur end using that wep ill give it another go
Dragonbolt blessing is a body buff so you can't really use it with Flame grant me Strength cause that s also a body buff. Whichever you buff last will overrinde the previous
was a hard to choose between full Incantation, Full weapon or hybrid. Decided to go for full Incantations, Lightning Spear alone deals absurd damage :P
Rich is right, its an item you receive in the DLC and you can use it as you would a spirit summon, honestly i just randomly walked into it and have no clue were i picked it up off the top of my head...if anyone can help with that please do lol
Yeah but for weapon? You are using a dlc weapon which not everyone can have, there is a weapon we can obtain before? Cause idk what to choose, i was running a blackflame build so im pretty much ok but the dex is missing and i miss a good weapon, unfortunately lightning doesnt scale with faith which is dogshit and none sense, any tips on the weapon?
Dragon cult incantations and skills get of boost of 8% when wearing full set. not bad. Wonder what that is compared to the Priestess heart dragon form tho.
My apologies, idn when its okay to start using footage freely...my thought was its been out for a little bit now but ur right I could have kept it a bit less reveling....i appreciate ur feedback and will try to pull back in future videos. thank you,
At this point of the DLC release, it’s time to stop crying about this. Spoilers are inevitable now, if you haven’t had time to play just stay off RUclips for sure. Great build btw!

greaves of solitude works well too

Compliments on this video, it was laid out perfectly, you gave us all the info and even titled the items/spells so we can see it🎉
Thank you so much! that means the world and back to me, im happy you enjoyed have a awesome Friday and weekend!

FYI gravel stone seal is a 15% boost and if you have one in each hand you get a 32% damage boost for dragon cult incantations
love that, thank you for dropping this information =)
Does must be equipped or just slotted ?
Good quality man, hope you make it big!
Thank you! I really appreciate it.
Love the lighting spells I absolutely destroyed bayle with the anciant dragon lighting incantation did so much damage
Oooo nice hes such a hard boss ggs bud, its just such a pretty spell! =)

Why the shard since you're not using skills and instead only lightning. Also the blue dancer will only affect physical damage
The seal does not boost ash of war
ah thats a bummer, at least we get a bump to some spells tho =)

The death knight set is the best looking set in the game imo
Yea its so good looking, i like the black knife set to tho...alot of good options out there
I am having a problem with the longhand axe ash of war. The blinkbolt. Everytime I use it just dashes forward doesnt jump and slam any ideas why?
you will need to click the button again once ur done teleporting

similar to my build, but I use the black steel great hammer with Prayerful strike so I can alot more of my flasks to fp.

@@justincase6683 thank you! I realized that after I posted the vid but it still looks so cool lol
hmmmmm wonder if i could use this with the gransax spear thing
Can I get al these weapons and incantations without defeating any boss in the dlc? and yeah this look really cool.
Does anyone have a gravel stone seal they don’t want to use? I didn’t know about it until this video and never got one. And now I can’t get it
but how to use a special ability of the second eqquiped weapon?
@@robertnagovskyi467 I would just swap the weapons when ready to aoe and use it that way
Is there something I can use instead of the gravel stone seal? I missed it on my first playthrough of the base game..
idk if u figured this out already but I had the same problem n used erdtree seal
@@vincentdak we would use the finger seal till around 60 faith and then swap to the erdtree seal will be the best replacement options

Is there an alternative seal with which I can play this build? I missed the gravel seal 😭😭
@@dking8926 yea use the finger seal until around 66 faith then the next best would be the erdtree seal as it scales better after that in faith 👍
@@CFreshGaming thx 🙏🏻 so soon if i reach 66 faith i should Switch to erdtree seal, right? sorry, I don't understand English as well as I should 😅
We can also use the storm axe from the base game?
yes
The Arcane can have a good use by using the Flowerstone Gavel ash of war to debuff bigger enemies.
I can look at you all day and not blink.... :)
@@edwinviray1697 well damn....you made my day haha :)
Is there a spear or sword that can hit lighting to the boss ? I saw a guy doin that in the server
Apparently lightning also stacks off of your dex, so leveling your dex high increases damage, and i've heard makes casting speed faster
Dex does make ur casting speed faster for sure, and really happy to know its worth putting some more points in dex... thank you!
Not sure about the damage unless it's associated with weapon but yeah def is known for making your faster casting time along with another talisman
Badass build man
