Notes from author
Whether you want to fight as Siegmeyer or Sieglinde, this onion build can peel off layers, using either the Zweihander or the Bastard Sword.
Two notes, though. The Pierce Shield, despite what you may think, is a scary thing. People do not expect it, and they don't know how you'll use it. With the Leo Ring, this can be extremely intimidating. The Tiny Being's Ring is a placeholder. It can be swapped out. Like I said, the Leo Ring can be recommended, but another ring you can use is Havel's, so you can switch between the Bastard Sword and the Zweihander on the fly. Maybe you can try both Tearstone rings. Whatever, this build is fun, use it.
