Notes from author
This build primarily engages in combat using the Pierce Shield and the GSoA, but also generally holds onto the Crystal Ring Shield and Ascended Flame with 1 set of Black Flames. One night I decided that this wasn't enough, so I started to try and incorporate some fun weapon swaps in the form of the Dragon King Greataxe, Gold Tracer, and Drake Sword. Red Tearstone swapping is also a part of the build, depending on the situation. Hotbar is pretty standard, mosses and humanities, sometimes I like to throw in Black Firebombs or Poison Throwing Knives. The premise of this build is to be a mobile battlement, a huge wall capable of taking many hits, but also armed enough to push back combatants. The biggest challenge comes due to the high amount of equips, leading to an inevitable mid roll at invading levels. Victory is tough, but not impossible. The headcount stands at 8, although I havn't played Dark Souls lately.
