Which build should you choose?
Dexterity suits players who want quick paired attacks and precise openings. Strength favors deliberate swings, reach and stagger. Pyromancy adds ranged fire and dark damage but asks you to manage FP and casting time.
These Soul Level 120 spreads are endgame reference points. For a first run, upgrade one reliable weapon and raise Vigor before chasing the final damage numbers. Keep equipment load below 70% for a normal roll.
