In this segment, the creator, Yui, introduces the “top 5 best Poise-breaking builds” for a game. Poise breaking, or stance breaking, refers to staggering an opponent to make them vulnerable to critical attacks. The video is timely due to a recent patch that boosts critical attack damage. Yui starts with the number five build, an Envoy’s Longhorn build. This great hammer weapon inflicts high Poise damage, especially through its “Bubble Shower” weapon skill, which deals significant stance damage when all bubbles hit. The build primarily scales with Faith, and Yui recommends complementing it with Crucible incantations for added Poise breaking. Key items include the Dagger Talisman, Sacred Scorpion Charm, Ritual Sword Talisman, and Envoy’s Crown helmet, which boosts bubble skill damage. The playstyle focuses on using charged heavy attacks and the Bubble Shower skill.
Next, at number four, is the Dragon King’s Cragblade build. This heavy thrusting sword has excellent Poise damage and a unique weapon skill, Thundercloud Form, which turns the player into a cloud, making them stagger-resistant and capable of inflicting high stance damage upon crashing down. Despite some skill limitations with certain items, its Poise damage is notable.

In this segment of the video, the discussion centers around optimizing builds with different weapons and items to maximize damage and efficiency. The first build focuses on enhancing dexterity, particularly highlighting the use of a mystery chord with a kin infusion and various talismans like the Dagger Talisman for critical damage and the Lightning Scorpion Charm for additional damage. Another build emphasizes the use of the Star Fist weapon, which excels in stance damage with heavy attacks. The build is enhanced with Crag Blade infusion and supported by a combination of talismans and buffs like Golden Vow for increased damage. The summary then explores a build centered on Ordovus’s Great Sword, which is a strength-based weapon with split holy damage. This build leverages the weapon skill Ordovus’s Vortex for high stance damage and takes advantage of spells to further amplify its effectiveness.

In this segment of the video, the focus is on a build utilizing 27 Faith, with the explanation that this is required for The Crucible incantations, which also provide decent Poise damage. The Hallmark seal is mentioned for its effective scaling with strength, and the Crucible set is highlighted for boosting Crucible incantation damage by 2% each. The Earth Tree Favor +2, Ritual Sword Talisman, Godfrey’s Icon, and Shard of Alexander are discussed as essential talismans for increasing health, stamina, equipment load, maximum health damage, and weapon skill damage. The build relies heavily on spamming the weapon skill.
The segment then introduces a second build featuring the Wing of Astel and the Misericorde offhand. The Wing of Astel’s Nebula skill deals significant stance damage and its fully charged heavy attack also does impressive stance damage, higher than most colossal weapons. This build is intelligence-based, with the Misericorde as a critical weapon infused with Glintblade Phalanx that also deals high stance damage. The Golden Bell for more damage and the Spellblade set to enhance the Wing of Astel’s weapon skill are also included. Key talismans for this build are the Magic Scorpion Charm, Dagger Talisman, Shard of Alexander, and Ritual Sword Talisman. Various spells are recommended for additional versatility and damage increases.

They discuss optimizing character stats, recommending a focus on intelligence and magic for increased damage.

Finally, the speaker concludes by encouraging viewers to like, subscribe, and follow their Twitch channel, where they are conducting a challenging ‘Souls’ marathon using only fist-based weapons.
