Not everyone has frame-perfect dodge timing, and that's fine. These builds are designed to be forgiving — they either have built-in defensive tools, long range to avoid attacks entirely, or enough sustain to heal through mistakes.
Recommended Builds
#1: Blasphemous Blade
HP-on-kill passive heals you through exploration mistakes. Taker's Flames has huge range so you rarely need to be close.
Why it works: Blasphemous Blade heals you every time an enemy dies nearby, even from Taker's Flames at range. You can play this build at mid-range, spamming L2 for damage and healing simultaneously. Even if you get hit, the sustain makes up for it.
#2: Pure Sorcery
Full ranged combat means most enemies never reach you. Rock Sling and Stars of Ruin handle everything from safety.
Why it works: A pure sorcerer never needs to dodge melee attacks from regular enemies. Keep maximum distance, cast sorceries, and only worry about dodging during boss fights. Rock Sling even staggers bosses to interrupt their attacks.
#3: Giant Crusher
Full Bull-Goat armor with massive poise means you can tank hits and trade. No dodge timing needed — just hit harder.
Why it works: With Bull-Goat set and Giant-Crusher, you have enough poise to ignore most attacks and just keep swinging. The massive HP from 60 Vigor + heavy armor absorption means individual hits barely dent you. When you do get hit, you were already mid-swing for a devastating trade.
