Notes from author
A simple build inspired by everyone's favorite smexy bug.
Grass Crest Shield mostly chosen for gameplay over roleplay, can be easily switched for buckler if you want to focus on reposts.
Dark Wood Grain can easily be swapped out for chloranthy ring if you want to be more aggressive or Hornet (lol) ring for a more PVP focused approach. FAP ring can allow you to put more points into DEX early on and in general just have more stamina and the HP to take more hits.
Soul spear is a stand-in for the attack where she throws her needle. If you don't want to level INT as much you can keep it down to 16 and use lower tier soul arrow spells, and use the Oolacile Ivory Catalyst, and make sure to keep you sword standard! You can make up the difference in attack damage with great magic weapon. This also allow the use of utility spells like remedy, fall control, or cast light for tomb of the giants. If you want to go pure physical then feel free to forgo the levels to INT/Attunement.
Mask of the Mother is a decent replacement for the helm if you need something lighter or think the sliver knight helm looks off (haven't tested other helms aesthetically yet). Also any black gauntlets and leggings should work, I just think these look the best.
(16 Strength is if you wanna uses the Moonlight Greatsword my beloved, if you don't wanna just drop the levels and go for 40 endurance lol)
