#1: Get your ass beat to activate Red Tearstone Ring.
#2: Buff Crystal Rapier/Crystal Bandit Knife with Gold Pine Resin.
#3: Swap out Bellowing Ring for Lingering Ring.
#4: Use Power Within; Sanctus instead of Grass Crest Shield optional to further reduce HP leech.
#5: Swap out Lingering Ring for Bellowing Ring.
#6: Now you're playing with power. Go one shot some nubs with Fire Tempest. Want to one shot with backstabs? Swap out Bellowing for Hornet. Done.
OFC use the Wolf or Hornet Ring instead of Red Tearstone if you want to fight while not on the brink of getting rekt; swap in Red Tearstone when you need it. Don't be retarded: the golden rule.
