What level is ideal for new game plus and what're some fun builds to try so before I start journey 2 I can respec?

What the hell is this thing in Ainsel River???

I was 150 when I finished but I wanna say you should be at least 120+

im running a strength/int build on a new character so far and its been so much fun pew pew enemies from a distance and then smash their faces in when they get close. but honestly just choose some weapons or spells/incantations that you think are cool and then respec based around that

No hud play through let’s get it

Do I HAVE to beat that mini ulcerated tree spirit boss for Millicent's questline?

Yeah, I kicked his ass with bleed

But people been using ranged spells/arrows from the cliff on him

just beat the game including all bosses

level: 173
playtime: 90h

it's kinda cool to see that the percentage of xbox players who reached my ending (which includes slaying more bosses) is higher than the neutral ending with no sidequest interaction

Damn we even using the same weapon

He still kicking my ass tho

So fam for my new build i wanna do an Faith x Arcane build that mains Rivers Of Blood & Mohgwyn’s Spear (both scale with Arc) and do all the Dragon incantations as well (including the Placidusax one f***kk me that looks dope)

So basically, i wanna make a Dragonlord Of Blood char

Only problem is i’ve never done either but i had not done Sorcery/Int build before this either and that one turned out fantastic

So 2 questions for anybody familiar with this type of build:

• What are my endgame stats looking like (just new game, no +)

• What in the f***kk do i main for the first half of the game since both Mohgwyn’s Spear & Rivers Of Blood aren’t quick grabs at all

Is that Eleonara’s Twinblade/Pole pr whatever the s*** is called my best option? Reduvia looks cool but i don’t see myself using it for half the game as a MAIN weapon so idk

Might even go with a Faith weapon since i’m putting points in there Anyway for the dragon incantations, and then switch over to maining Arc/bleed weapons when i’m able to. Might give me more options in early to midgame

Any insight would be appreciated bc i can’t wait for my 2nd playthrough i think this has overtaken Bloodborne as my fav game but i love that one so much so i don’t feel comfortable making that a defnitive statement yet lol

What the hell i nearly finished my first playthrough and its like 140 hours level 135 you must of did hella grinding

Git gud

Also arent you scared levelling so high since most will stick to 150 max or u dont care about co-op/online?

I didnt care before but since ER got mainstream i got a lot of friends who play

Git gud on deez nuts 1v1 me now and i’ll tear you a new hole b

But yea saw some fam itt dabbling into Arcane lmk

Well bc it’s just the way i envision my char

Even before the game dropped i knew from the CNT and Rennala boss name leak that there was gonna be moon stuff in there so i went for Moonveil and Carian scepter with the moon spells

But if you have any good ideas or tips that might benefit my new build feel free

Edit: @Kenig

Lol I misread your question ngl. Sorry for delete

I was doing every single boss in this game. Everyone post Caelid basically gave me a level up. I was also using the gold scarab talisman after I did the caelid segment

never played online so far tbh

Finally beat Radahn with no summons, 21 vigour and increased damage taken, masochism run baby

Never used those scarab talismans needed all my slots for INT buffs already just to be able to turn into a moon

How bad is the nerf tho i’ve heard they did my guy Radahn dirty

I'm not sure tbf, took me at least 30-40 attempts, I'm still on my first run so I don't have a reference point for him being more powerful, taking it slow
