The video presents a comprehensive guide for creating an optimized level 150 Waterfowl Warrior build, using the Handle Millennial weapon, for New Game Plus and beyond. The build focuses on maximizing physical damage via a katana that scales well with dexterity, recommending 80 dexterity as optimal. The Waterfowl Dance skill, a central feature of the build, is effective against tougher enemies and bosses but requires high stamina and poise, suggesting the use of equipment and talismans that bolster these attributes, such as Clean Rod Armor and the Bull-Goat's Talisman. For enhanced performance, alternatives like the Great-Jar's Arsenal for better stamina recovery are also discussed.
The video emphasizes the importance of balancing stats, advocating for 50 Vigor, around 60 Endurance, and 25 Mind for sustained combat. Minimal investment in Strength is required. Strategic use of the sacrificial ax and the Blasphemous Blade for resource recovery alongside other talismans like Shard of Alexander and Green Turtle Talisman enhances the build’s efficiency. Finally, the importance of managing the weapon's weight and improving stamina recovery using the Greenburst Crystal Tear is highlighted to maintain the Waterfowl Dance's efficacy. The guide concludes by previewing future builds for various game stages and weapon types.

In this part of the video, the presenter introduces a level 150 Waterfowl Warrior build aimed at New Game Plus, featuring the Handle Millennial weapon. Highlighted as a katana, the weapon excels in physical damage and scales well with dexterity, particularly effective at 80 dexterity, although it can be increased to 99 for more damage in NG+.
The build utilizes the running R2 attack and regular katana attacks for common enemies, while employing the Waterfowl Dance skill for tougher enemies and bosses. The Waterfowl Dance can chain up to three times and provides some poise to prevent being staggered. However, the skill heavily consumes stamina, necessitating a high endurance stat and equipment that enhances poise.
The recommended armor for the build is the Clean Rod Armor for its decent poise and stylistic appeal, complemented by the Bull-Goat’s Talisman to increase poise to withstand hits during the Waterfowl Dance combo. This setup ensures better performance and survival against formidable foes.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses optimizing a game build focused on using heavier armor for better protection and poise. They suggest swapping the Bull-Goat’s Talisman for alternatives like the Great-Jar’s Arsenal or Green Turtle Talisman to improve stamina recovery. The speaker explains using talismans such as Shard of Alexander, Rotten Winged Sword Insignia, and Millicent’s Prosthesis, which increase damage significantly, especially during rapid attacks like the Waterfowl Dance. Additionally, the build includes regular Katana attacks for typical enemies and the powerful Waterfowl Dance for tougher foes without needing frequent buffs. The optimal stats mentioned for this build are 50 Vigor, 25 Mind, 36 Endurance, 11 Strength, 80 Dexterity, with minimal Intelligence, Faith, and Arcane.

In this segment of the video, the creator discusses optimal stat distributions and adjustments for a particular build. Key points include the suggestion to increase Endurance to around 60 for more stamina and to manage heavy armor, with 50 being a solid middle-ground. They emphasize the importance of having adequate stamina over FP for the Waterfowl Dance ability, recommending around 25 points in Mind. For Strength, only 11 points are needed for two-handing the Millennia weapon, allowing for more points in Vigor, Endurance, or Dexterity. Dexterity should be increased to 80, as it significantly falls off after that. Additional tips include using a sacrificial ax to regain FP upon kills or the Blasphemous blade for health recovery.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses the importance of managing the weight of the Blasphemous Blade in a specific build and emphasizes the need for stamina recovery using the Greenburst Crystal Tear in the Flask of Wondrous Physick. This is crucial for maintaining combos in boss fights. The speaker also recommends using the tear that boosts damage with successive attacks to enhance the build’s effectiveness. The segment wraps up the Waterfowl Warrior build and hints at upcoming build guides, including both new game plus and end game builds, with a focus on various weapons based on the speaker’s available time.
