Feel free to discuss and debate the build’s strengths and weaknesses but as always be constructive with your fellow Dark Souls players. This week’s build, “Sleepy Hollow” comes from community member announakis and is a Quality/Luck focused build.

Dark Souls 3 Build of the Week: Sleepy Hollow

This build is designed to tackle both PvE and PvP seamlessly and gives you the versatility to choose from a variety of different weaponry.

Stats & Vitals

Weapons, Armor, Rings & Spells

you’re able to play all weapons like a Quality build only better because you actually have status build up. Thanks to this you instantly turn 95% bosses into jokes (Dragon Slayer Armor might be the only exception…for this one, switch to frost weapon and revert to facerolling as if nothing happened)

For PvP, you just play normally. Do not try to build up bleed, only switch to Frayed Blade weapon art if you want to finish someone you happened to hit a few times in a row to proc bleed (Frayed Blade build up at 40 luck on a WA R2 is ridiculous) or if you really need to play the running poke game. If someone tries hiding behind a shield you’re able to smile: either you bleed them with the Frayed Blade WA or you revert to Notched Whip WA, your choice.

Dark Souls 3 Build of the Week: Sleepy Hollow

When you win, you gesture “sleep” just to justify the very bad wordplay on the title.

Objectively, I cannot find any better stat distribution for a quality build that eclectic at this level with such potential for average damage and such insanely advantageous status build up.
