Character development inDark Souls IIIisn’t complicated, but requires some knowledge and planning.
It’s an attribute recommended for more experienced players, during a second playthrough, preferably.
They deal massive damage, but are very slow, so a certain measure of timing is required.
A badly-placed attack will expose your character to a lot of damage.
With enough strength, you’re able to use a greatsword along with a shield.
Going for the strength should also mean investing inEndurance.
It will provide your hero with enough stamina required for dodging, blocking and attacking.
High stamina will allow dealing three of four deadly blows one after another.
Endurance should be developed more or less along with Vigor, up until20-25points.
The best way here is toincrease dexterity according to weapon’s requirements.
FaithandIntelligenceshould only be increased if you’re planning on using a specific weapon or some basic spells and miracles.
The rest of the points should be distributed equally between strength, vigor, and endurance.
Strength build can make it impossible to use bows - the alternative are the crossbows.
Dexterity is the most important for a character fighting with light melee weapons, and bows.
If you decide to go for Dexterity, you’re free to use e.g.
daggers, bows, powerful katanas, or falchions.
you could also equip a shield or two weapons at the same time.
Combined with high Dexterity, this will produce a little hard-to-stop killing machine.
The rest of the points should be distributed equally between dexterity, vigor, and endurance.
