Want to play Ghosts of Tsushima but you only have Dark Souls? Well look no further! This is perhaps the most fun build I've played. Plus I actually watch all cutscenes cause the fashion souls is too good. I especially love how the bow in your left hand can be two handed with L1/LB which sheathes your katana!
Gift: Master Key
STR 14/DEX 14 after asylum
Priority DEX/END then VIT
You have a choice for fap or havel's. I personally prefer fap cause of the extra pool of stamina. However you can start ninja flipping in full gear at END 30 with havel's! Regardless you're gonna want a large stamina bar anyways so I'll go with fap. You can go without the bow/helmet/gloves and you can start ninja flipping at END 31! Add more gear as you lvl up END. Kinda like you're progressing as a samurai with more gear.
NG+ and beyond: VIT 50/STR 27 for bow scaling.
