Notes from author
A cosplay of Lord's Blade Ciaran, the assassin. This build is of Ciaran, who is a very versatile character, if you can use her properly. The Lord's Blade set has decent poise (20), boosted by the Wolf Ring (worn in honor of her "beloved" Artorias) to 60. While you 'can' swap the Wolf Ring for the Dark Moon Grain Ring: Ciaran doesn't flip in-game if you attack her, and the Wolf Ring has better benefits, in my opinion. The build has no shield, so keep the dodge up. If you're confident in your parry&repsite ability, feel free to do so. Be sure to swap to your left-hand to the empty slot. Reserve the Dark Silver Tracer for reposites and backstabs, unless you're just getting a single hit in; then be sure to quickly move out of range. Careful with the Gold Tracer's move set in your left hand: since it only combo's. The two hit combo (light attack) is significantly faster than the three hit (heavy), so be sure if what button you're pressing. Keep pressure on them, and they'll bleed out surprisingly fast, almost making the Bleed damage preferable to the backstab damage if you get behind the enemy. Since you are forced to slowly whittle away at your enemy, be sure to have Lloyd's Talismans for PvP and some PvE, as well as Poisoned Throwing Knives.
Good Luck, and Happy Hunting.
