In this segment of the video, the creator details their “dragon god build” which centers around the use of dragon communion spells. To enhance spell damage, they introduce a new item called Rockart. To obtain Rockart, you need to find a painting in Shadowkeep after passing the golden hippopotamus boss and descending a ladder. Next, head to the Jagged Peaks area via Dragon’s Pit, defeat a boss, and locate the painting’s spot to acquire Rockart. This consumable item, used while unarmored, transforms you into a dragon, granting 10% damage negation with zero weight and a subsequent one-minute 20% damage boost for dragon communion spells. The build synergizes with the Blue Dancer Charm and Roar Medallion, further increasing the dragon communion spell damage. The narrator chose to enhance Arcane and Faith stats to maximize spell potency using the dragon communion seal, offering an alternative to focusing entirely on Faith for higher incantation scaling.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses the advantages and disadvantages of using a weapon combined with a Dragon Communion Seal versus going the Faith route in a game. They highlight that using the Dragon Communion Seal offers convenience by allowing spell casting without swapping items, which is suitable for players who prefer an easier play style with less inventory management. They also explain their choice of weapon—Blood Thief’s Fork—due to its lightweight, good reach, native blood loss buildup, and Arcane scaling, which complements their Arcane-focused build. The speaker emphasizes that the build is optimized for Dragon Communion spells rather than maximum melee damage. Additionally, they mention the use of the Blue Dancer Charm to boost physical damage based on a lighter equip load, which synergizes well with their lightweight build and chosen spells.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses various talisman options and their effects on a lightweight build in a game. Key talismans mentioned include the Blue Dancer Charm for boosting weapon and spell damage, Crusade Insignia for a 15% damage boost after killing an enemy, and the Blessed Blue Dew Talisman for FP replenishment. The Dragon Crest Greatshield Talisman is highlighted for its physical damage negation benefits, especially useful in difficult areas. Other talismans such as the Roar Medallion, Flock Canvas Talisman, and Shard of Alexander are discussed as situational choices, particularly for boss fights. The speaker emphasizes personal experimentation with different talismans to find the best configuration. Additionally, spells like Golden Vow and Flame Grant Me Strength are included to enhance damage and protection.

In this segment, the speaker discusses the benefits and uses of various spells in their build for enhancing damage and protection in gameplay. Key spells include “Golden Vow” for protection and periodic use, and “Flame Grant Me Strength,” mainly used before boss fights to boost fire and physical damage. For dealing damage, the speaker predominantly uses “Rotten Breath,” “Exe’s Decay,” and “Dragon Maw.” “Rotten Breath” is useful for fighting from horseback, while “Exe’s Decay” delivers more powerful Scarlet rot damage suitable for boss fights. “Dragon Maw” is highlighted for its high burst damage, large hitbox, and hyper armor, which prevents interruption during casting, making it highly effective in close-range boss encounters. Additionally, the speaker mentions “Ghost Flame Breath” as a new, cost-effective spell contributing to frostbite buildup.

In this part of the video, the speaker compares different dragon spells, starting with ghost flame breath which, although slightly less damaging than boreal’s breath, is more FP-efficient. The speaker prefers Smar Ginst Breath for magic damage due to its better performance. Moving to Bae’s Tyranny, it deals significant fire damage with hyper armor, but it’s currently bugged and may improve with future patches. Bae’s Flame Lightning, which combines fire, physical, and lightning damage, is appreciated for its long-range and similar performance to Dragon Maw. All three spells require high Arcane, making them challenging to use without specializing in Dragon Communion builds. The speaker also details their character attributes for optimizing this build.

In this part of the video, the creator discusses the stats and equipment choices for a Dragon Communion build. Key points include emphasizing high Vigor for health and Mind for FP, necessary for FP-heavy spells. Endurance is set at 25 but can be lower based on combat style. They recommend 45 Arcane and 30 Faith for good spell scaling, and suggest eventually increasing Arcane to 80. Flask of Wondrous Physick details include using Opaline Hardtear for protection. The preferred Great Runes are Godrick’s for stat balance and Radahn’s for health, FP, and stamina. They briefly mention an upcoming video on the Dragon Priestess item.
