Crystal Death Machine Build - (Darks Souls 3) - demonssoulsremake

Build Overview

Seeing anyone running around with a Fume Ultra Greatsword coated in jagged blue crystals (the Crystal Magic Weapon spell) is sure to give any player pause, as the sheer amount of damage such a behemoth of a blade can unleash is impressive. Youtuber Blood Turned Coffee put together this intimidating Intelligence build in 2016 for those who want a solid one that utilizes Strength and Intelligence.

PVP Tips

It is ideal to use this build in a manner very similar to a regular melee build, as the greatest way to deal damage is to utilize the buffed Fume Ultra Greatsword. It is recommended to have a fast parrying tool in one's offhand when the player does not need to apply the Crystal Magic Weapon buff, as getting a riposte with this huge mass of magical iron has a decent chance of taking out foes who have low Vigor or have already been injured.

PVE Tips

The Fume Ultra Greatsword is one of the best weapons to use if one wants to slam enemies around. The stat investment needed to wield it one-handed alongside a staff in the offhand is pretty high, but it's worth it for the huge damage potential. High damage per hit combined with great poise health lets players use the Fume Ultra Greatsword to stun, stagger, or flatten nearly anything.
