Notes from author
Bleed'em out! That's the whole point of this deadly build.
Simple armor setup. Decent amount of defense, nice poise and most of all, that terrifying, evil grin.
Fast combos from both the gold tracer and Priscilla's dagger to quickly build the bleed meter up.
The painting guardian sword in your left hand allows you to both parry and attack, so don't you R1 spam. Keep things interesting.
The small leather shield is only there for emergency situations, when you really need to block and can't afford to parry.
BE RELENTLESS! Don't leave room for your opponent to breath. Be super aggressive, harass the poor soul. That's when the cloranthy ring comes in handy, as you'll need a fast stamina regen. Of course, couple it with a green blossom.
As it's essentially a dex build with common stats, it can fit any hybrid build involving dexterity. Pyro/dex, faith/dex, quality... You name it. I only pumped the vitality up to reach SL125 and have an accurate representation of the defense stats you'll have at 99 humanities.
Little tips: Don't forget that Priscilla's dagger bleeds out for 50% of your opponent's total health. Try to predict when he'll bleed, and switch for the dagger! Daggers are fast and hard to parry, so go for it.
Throw some dung pies in there. The more panicky your victim is, the better.
Off you go now. Feed the forest with some blood, terrorize your enemies with that evil grin of yours. Watch them backing off in fear as they see the blood leaving their bodies, and venture forth to find yet another victim.
