Bloodborne builds: The key to success
Bloodborne is widely regarded as one of the best Lovecraftian horror games ever created. Set in a twisted version of Victorian England, this game is as challenging as the Souls series. Its gripping story takes players on a nightmarish journey to defeat an unknown horror and escape the dream world. To conquer this game, it's essential to choose the right Bloodborne build.
The best Bloodborne builds
While we recommend experimenting with different builds as you progress, we understand that the game's difficulty can be overwhelming for new players. If you're struggling, we suggest starting with the Saw Cleaver build. This build provides an easier entry, as it grants access to one of the game's best weapons right from the beginning. Here's our recommended build:
Focus on evenly distributing points into Vitality, Strength, and Endurance. Increase these stats as the game progresses, while also upgrading your weapon. This straightforward build will ensure high HP, exceptional dodge capability, and powerful strikes. It doesn't feature any intricate techniques or connections to the game's lore; instead, it offers a solid set of stats that will guide you through the main story.
Threaded Cane: The artful dance
The Threaded Cane embodies the fluidity of Bloodborne's combat. While it may not have the highest damage output, it emphasizes the strategic use of Visceral attacks and precise strikes. With this build, you'll discover that every fight in Bloodborne is like a choreographed dance, allowing you to control the flow of battle to your advantage.
The Threaded Cane requires a high dexterity stat, so allocate most of your acquired points into dexterity. Additionally, increase your strength to meet the weapon requirements. Keep in mind that you won't be able to equip heavy weapons for a significant portion of the game, resulting in temporary reduced offensive power. However, by the end, the investment will prove worthwhile.
Arcane: Unleash your inner power
Bloodborne places significant emphasis on Arcane builds, rewarding players who stick to their wolf-headed cane staff. To build an Arcane character, you'll need arcane crystals, which can only be obtained by attuning to a Chalice Ritual. However, Chalice Rituals are accessible only from specific map locations where the moon is visible.
