Many Faith builds rely on stacking Golden Vow + Flame Grant Me Strength + other buffs before every encounter. These builds work at full power without any buff setup — just walk in and fight.
Recommended Builds
#1: Winged Scythe
Pure holy weapon damage with no buffs needed. Angel's Wings is self-contained.
Why it works: Winged Scythe's damage comes from its innate holy scaling and Faith investment, not buff stacking. Angel's Wings is a weapon skill, not a buff. Walk up and press L2.
#2: Blasphemous Blade
Taker's Flames does massive damage without any buffs. HP-on-kill is passive.
Why it works: While Blasphemous Blade CAN be buffed, Taker's Flames hits hard enough unbuffed to handle any content. The HP-on-kill is always active. No pre-fight ritual needed.
#3: Lightning Spear
Lightning Spear's damage comes from Faith scaling, not buff stacking.
Why it works: Charged Lightning Spear with high Faith and Lightning Scorpion Charm does massive single-hit damage without any buff setup. Cast and throw — simple, effective, no buffs required.
