Notes from author
This build is made for backstabs. Its main idea is to hide in the forest, with the ring of fog acting as a cover for far range, and Chameleon acting as a close range cover and a method to trick/avoid hosts or phantoms. you use the knife for backstabs, retreat/Chameleon, then rinse and repeat. Use the Lloyds after a backstab to assure no estus is used. To get this build without an extreme challenge, count it as a dex build till you have all the parts. If used correctly and with some skill, you can kill off phantoms and hosts without much trouble.
