Build Equipment

 

Build Strategy

Notes:
-Tank builds are not based on speed but yes on Hard defense. If you like to dodge not the build for you.
-Simple note, tanks need HP so the more HP you got the better. You'll kinda look like Havel in the end until you choose to look like tarkus.

NO MAGIC, learn to play without this!

Use the Battle Axe, it's a great beggining weapon for full damage. Plus try to get the other 4 points in STR so you can use any STR weapon and havel's greatshield so the end of the build is at lvl 105 and not 101 as stated in the stats part.


HAVE FUN AND GOOD LUCK :D

      This is a terrible tank build. Armor from early to late game should look like this: Stone Havel/Black Iron (or skip both) Giant. Only use Giant once you have all pieces to +5. Also, the shield will not block anything at 46 strength. It takes 50 to wield. Either push strength to 50 or make a great-shield of Artorias with Sif's soul. It is almost as good as Havel's and need less strength and weight to wield. The rings should be Havel's and Favor and Protection. Best weapon options (no order): Zweihander +15 Great Club +15 Large Club +15 All of these do well with strength builds and at either 46 or 50 strength these will do better at +15 than split with lightning. If you want range then take dex to 12 and use the Short Bow early game and the Composite Bow late game.

        Isn't it better to upgrade your weapon to +15?If you upgrade your weapon to lightning the attribute bonuse gets lost. That will make it harder in NG+
