Early shield-break and bleed build
- In the valley, defeat Jagged Steel, the Frenzied Brute to obtain JAGGED STEEL for damage. Fight Hua, Deadly Betrothed in the tower for SCARLET WRAITHBLADE.
- Break shields with SCARLET WRAITHBLADE, then build bleed with JAGGED STEEL. If you lack the first weapon, use a charged attack with DREAD AXE and allow time for the windup.
- Against puppets immune to bleed, switch to direct damage. This early build does not require high-level chain sickle skills.
