<h3>1. Bloodhound Step Duelist</h3>
Utilizing the Bloodhound's Fang and the Bloodhound Step Ash of War, this build thrives on mobility and hit-and-run tactics. The combo of swift dodges and bleed-infused strikes makes it great for PvP encounters.

<h3>2. Flaming Strike Claymore Build</h3>
Flaming Strike adds both fire damage and a buff to physical attacks. Pairing this with a Claymore in a Strength/Faith hybrid setup allows for consistent flame-enhanced combos that melt through most enemies.

<h3>3. Hoarfrost Stomp Frostbite Build</h3>
Even after being nerfed, Hoarfrost Stomp remains a viable AoE weapon art. This Intelligence-focused build amplifies the frostbite effect, chaining it with quick weapons like the Uchigatana for fast buildup and massive burst.

<h3>4. Lion&rsquo;s Claw Greatsword Build</h3>
Perfect for players who love high-risk, high-reward gameplay. The Lion&rsquo;s Claw somersault attack pairs well with colossal weapons, like the Greatsword, to stagger enemies and follow up with heavy combos.

<h3>5. Black Flame Tornado Build</h3>
Faith users will love the Black Flame Tornado available from the Godskin duo. Used on Twinblades or Polearms, this Ash of War punishes groups of enemies and chains into flame-based melee attacks.

<h3>6. Flaming Slash DEX Build</h3>
For DEX-based characters, Flaming Slash on a curved sword creates aggressive combos that apply fire damage rapidly. When stacked with talismans that boost successive hits, it becomes a melting machine.

<h3>7. Storm Blade Longsword Build</h3>
This build relies on mid-range pressure. Storm Blade launches wind projectiles and can be combined with light melee hits to keep enemies at bay, ideal for both PvE and PvP.

<h3>8. Golden Land Strength-Faith Build</h3>
With high poise and Faith scaling, the Golden Land weapon art fires holy projectiles in a wide spread and then allows you to follow up with heavy melee attacks. It's especially useful in co-op settings.

<h3>9. Spectral Lance Build</h3>
Using the Death Ritual Spear and Intelligence-based investment, this ranged Weapon Art allows players to poke safely and then close in for melee finishes. The combo of magic and reach is surprisingly versatile.

<h3>10. Poison Moth Flight Katana Build</h3>
This one focuses on DoT. The Poison Moth Flight adds poison on-hit while dealing solid initial damage. When combined with other poison gear and talismans, the build slowly drains enemy HP while allowing you to evade.

<h3>11. Cragblade Great Club Build</h3>
Strength builds will benefit from the Cragblade Ash, which boosts poise and stagger damage. It allows you to stun-lock enemies with heavy-hitting combos, especially effective against larger foes.

<h3>12. Spinning Strikes Halberd Build</h3>
This one is all about aggressive offense. The spinning animation can trap enemies, and with high Dexterity or Strength, the DPS stacks up fast, especially when followed with normal light attacks.

<h3>13. Flaming Slam Troll&rsquo;s Hammer Build</h3>
Combining Troll&rsquo;s Hammer and Flaming Slam gives a fiery twist to an already powerful bonk. The fire damage helps bypass physical resistances and adds splash AoE potential.

<h3>14. Bloody Slash Dual Katanas</h3>
This dual-wield setup stacks Bleed procs rapidly. Bloody Slash on one katana deals high burst damage, while the off-hand delivers constant hits to trigger bleed. Great synergy with arcane-focused stats.

<h3>15. Giant Hunt Spear Build</h3>
One of the most reliable Weapon Arts against tough enemies. Giant Hunt does massive vertical thrust damage and can be chained with thrusting attacks to punish after knockdowns.

<h3>16. Vacuum Slice Magic Build</h3>
Ideal for Intelligence users, this long-range Weapon Art fires a slicing projectile that can open up fights. Follow up with light or heavy melee combos using a magic-infused weapon.

<h3>17. Flaming Strike Bastard Sword Build</h3>
The Bastard Sword is often overlooked, but paired with Flaming Strike and a balanced STR/DEX build, it creates a powerful combo-oriented weapon with both speed and power.

<h3>18. Royal Knight&rsquo;s Resolve One-Hit Combo</h3>
This unique build is focused less on extended combos and more on creating a devastating single-strike finisher. Buff with Royal Knight&rsquo;s Resolve, then land a charged heavy attack with a Colossal Weapon. Risky but satisfying.
