The video delves into building a level 100 cold-blooded raptor character, emphasizing the use of claws, particularly Bloodhound Claws, for their high damage and status effects such as frostbite and bleeding. Key features include using Royal Knight’s Resolve for damage boosting, combining physical and magical damage via cold infusion, and leveraging rapid attacks. Armor and talisman choices like the Heima Glintstone Crown, Raptor's Black Feathers, and various talismans enhance attack power, stamina regeneration, and defense. The build favors straightforward melee combat but accommodates spells for ranged and stagger damage. Optimal stat allocation focuses on vigor, strength, intelligence, and dexterity, tailored to weapon and skill requirements. The speaker also highlights the efficient use of the Flask of Wondrous Physique and discusses potential variations and upcoming builds.

In this part of the video, the creator introduces a level 100 cold-blooded raptor build focused on using claws as weapons, which deal high damage and apply frostbite and hemorrhage status effects. Initially, daggers were considered but were found to lack the necessary reach and effectiveness. Claws were preferred due to their inherent status effects such as bleeding or poison, which complement rapid attacks. Bloodhound Claws were chosen specifically for this build, though Hook Claws or Raptor Talons could be used with adjustments in dexterity and intelligence stats instead of strength. The build uses cold infusion on the claws to combine physical and magical damage, along with status effects to maximize damage output. Notably, the Royal Knight’s Resolve is used to buff both claws simultaneously when two-handing, increasing overall damage significantly, which is unique to claws and fist weapons. This approach focuses on maximizing raw damage rather than heavily relying on status effects alone.

In this part of the video, the focus is on maximizing damage for a build involving auxiliary effects like bleed and frostbite. Key points include the use of Royal Knight’s Resolve to boost damage, the option to play with a quality build for additional damage, and the trade-offs between quality and frostbite effects. The speaker emphasizes the versatility of using intelligence in the build for casting sorceries and incorporating items like the Hornbow for ranged attacks. Recommendations include using the Academy Glintstone Staff for magic and a sacrificial axe to regain FP. For armor, the Heima Glintstone Crown and Raptor’s Black Feathers are suggested for their stat boosts and jump attack damage. Talismans such as the Claw Talisman, Winged Sword Insignia, Green Turtle Talisman, and Lord of Blood’s Exultation are advised to enhance jump attack damage and overall attack power.

In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses a particular build’s effective use of various talismans and their purposes. The Green Turtle Talisman is recommended for stamina regeneration, necessary for frequent attacks using claws. The Lord of Blood’s Exultation Talisman boosts attack power when causing a bleeding effect. The Ritual Sword Talisman can increase damage at max health, though it’s challenging to maintain max health in melee combat. Alternatively, the Dragoncrest Shield Talisman can enhance defenses, useful when wearing light armor. The Winged Sword Insignia might be less optimal due to enemies usually dying before its buff activates.
The build’s strategy involves jump attacks followed by rapid R1 spam with dual claws to induce bleed or frostbite, quickly dispatching most enemies. Buffing isn’t required, making this build favorable for those who prefer straightforward combat without constant buffs. However, optional spells like Great Glintstone Shard, Magic Glintblade, Loretta’s Greatbow, and Greatblade Phalanx can enhance ranged and stagger damage. The recommended spell for staggering is Greatblade Phalanx. Carrying Greatsword or Adula’s Moonblade can provide necessary AoE attacks.
For stats, the build uses 35 Vigor, 20 Mind, 10 Endurance, 40 Strength, 15 Dexterity, 40 Intelligence, 14 Faith, and 9 Arcane, emphasizing survivability and damage output in melee combat, especially using light armor.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses optimizing a character build by distributing stat points effectively. They recommend prioritizing points in vigor if not playing a confessor, maintaining 20 points in mind for skill flexibility, and managing FP costs through skill usage. Strength and intelligence should be set to 40 each to boost both physical and magic damage, while dexterity is adjusted based on weapon requirements. The speaker also highlights the limited necessity of endurance and arcane for this build and advises minimal points in faith unless you’re playing a confessor class.
Testing between different claws, such as bloodhound claws and raptor talons, showed negligible differences in jump attack damage, suggesting preference for bloodhound claws due to no significant advantage with raptor talons. For build variations focusing on strength and dexterity over intelligence and spells, the speaker advises incorporating at least 10 points in arcane to utilize the Blood Flame Blade, enhancing bleed build-up.
Finally, they recommend using the Flask of Wondrous Physique to increase stamina regeneration and either strength or intelligence to maximize damage and sustain offensive actions. The combination of magic damage increase and stamina regen was found to be most effective for overall performance.

In this part of the video, the speaker mentions considering a popular build due to audience interest, but isn’t certain about it yet. They also note that next week, they will start working on their 150 builds.
