Pure Strength Tank Build - (Darks Souls 3) - demonssoulsremake

Build Overview

Players seeking the ability to poise through nearly anything should try out this tanky approach to DS3's combat. Utilizing the bonus poise granted by equipping Yhorm's Greatshield, the plan is to go hit-for-hit in damage trades and come out on top while forcing the foe to back off, allowing one to keep applying pressure.

The Zweihander is the weapon that the creator of this build, Youtuber Crozyn, uses, however, Yhorm's Great Machete would not be a bad choice either.

PVE Tips

With the huge amount of poise that one gains from wielding Yhorm's Greatshield, players will be able to trade attacks with enemies much larger than them. This will often mean taking damage, so be sure to have some sort of healing option ready. Time one's Estus Flask uses appropriately to keep up the momentum.
