Notes from author
I didn't go to into more detail on why this is the best overall Falchion build.
This has the best possible setup without being overleveled.
I flip past everything with a good amount of poise (58), thanks to the overpowered Dark Wood Grain Ring.
Depending on my opponent- I switch the DWGR to Havel's ring, so I can use the Elite Knight Armor to poise through basically anything. This adds 20 more points of poise, making it 78 poise. (This really annoys people who have strength builds, because it basically negates their stunlocking ability makes them very, very vulnerable, especially when they mid roll)
I basically have a choice between a lot of iFrames, or poise tanking.
I love this build because it's really, really good, looks very SoulsBorne with the Wanderer coat. If the mother mask didn't look good and match the clothes, I'd use the Hollow Thief's hood. Sometimes I do just for the Hell of it.
Black Flame is great for chunk damage and stamina-draining through shields, Power Within is great for a big boost in damage and stamina regen. I switch between the two depending on my mood. I often carry Power Within. I switch the pyromancy glove to the left hand if I have a buff on the Falchion and Black Flame equipped.
