Notes from author
This is a build that doesn't have to rely on buffs, but can use them for the extra boost. This isn't a very aggressive build, you should keep your distance from the enemy, and typically only attack when they leave themselves open for attack. Hence the Leo ring. I don't usually take any damage, so I two-hand the Pike and leave a Grass-Crest Shield on my back, but you can feel free to adapt. If you don't want buffs or the Homing Crystal Soulmass, feel free to swap them out, this is just my preference. The same goes for the ring choices as well as the armor. Although, I would consider leaving the Shotel, as spear weapons aren't very effective against turtlers... Have fun!
