Pure Dexterity PvP Character Build

This Soul-level 122 build focuses on speed and evasion. Here are the stats:

Dexterity: 45
Endurance: 48
Vitality: 45
Strength: 20

Putting 20 into your STR stat will let you wield a fair amount of Dark Souls' weapons, effectively giving you a few extra choices for this build. You'll want to wield something like the Balder Side Sword or the Uchigatana (which also provides good bleed damage). Alternatively, you could also wield Great Scythe, which surprisingly very powerful for DEX builds.

If you want to go ranged, choose either the Longbow or the Black Bow of Pharis.

Since Dexterity doesn't necessarily affect armor, you can theoretically where whatever armor you like as long as you can roll quickly and have enough STR. However, to be fast and light while also having a good defense rating, equip the Elite Knight Armor, Elite Knights Gauntlets, Chain Helm, and Chain Leggings. All of these give you good poise to weight ratios. Alternatively, you could swap some of these light armor pieces out for medium armor pieces if you increase END and STR or wear Havel's Ring.

Use the Grass Crest Shield to take advantage of its Stamina regen, which works whether you're wielding it or if it's on your back.

Pure Sorcery/Magic PvP Character Build

There are several ways to go about making a Sorcerer in Dark Souls: Remastered. Here, we'll focus mostly on using increasing INT and ATT to cast more spells faster.

Here are the stats:

Intelligence: 45
Attunement: 50
Dexterity: 45
Strength: 16
Vitality: 15
Endurance: 15

For this Soul-level 124 build, you'll need enough STR to wield a decent weapon just in case you need to engage in melee combat. However, putting 16 points into Strength will aloow you to wield the Moonlight Greatsword. This sword's damage scales with your INT rating, so it's perfect to have for this build. In your primary hand, you'll want to wield either Logan's Catalyst or the Crystal Catalyst.

On the armor front, you'll want to wear the Crown of Dusk and the Dragoncrest Ringbecause both increase your damage. For light armor, go for the Xanthous Set. For medium armor, equip Havel's Ring and wear either Ornstein's Armor or the Eastern Armor with either the greaves and the leggings of the Xanthous Set or those of the Chain Set. Just be wary that those two cuirasses decrease stamina regen.

Various Gameplay Tips

Learn to parry. Get comfortable with the engine and you'l be able to press LT at just the right time. A certain sound effect will pop up and that's when you press RB and do really good damage. Basically any humanoid enemy can be parried. When mastered, even the black knights are nothing to be afraid of.

Level up. In this game, normal enemies never run out of respawns. Since the currency you get from killing enemies is used to level up and make your character more pwerful, you can always just grind enemies until you're powerful enough to gewt through a difficult area. It's not the most skillful tactic, but hey. You get to play however you

Farm humanity. This item is GOD. It gives you a full heal and can be used to upgrade your estus. One is used to make yourself human, and then you can kindle the bonfire. You can kindle a bonfire up to three times after you kill the boss pinwheel. Until then the most estus you can have is 10 (unless the bonfire in the area you're in is kindled online by another player, that grants you 1 extra estus). You can get humanity from rats, which are plentiful in the depths. The item is extra easy to find in the last area of the dlc.

Learn to dodge. The dodge button is everything. What kind of dodge you do depends on your armor and your equip load. The best dodge is when you have little armor on. Dodging allows you to go through most enemy attacks, and then you can follow up your dodge with a special dodge attack. It's great. When an attack just can't be blocked or you just can't tank it, dodge it.

Magic. If you're having an extra hard time in the game, give a sorcery build a try. Sorceries do really high damage and are relatively easy to come across, just find the NPCs. Again, it's not very skilled, but again you get to play the way you want. Pyromancies and miracles are also very good, but they have some drawbacks.

Learn the game's tricks and mechanics. Dark souls is a tricky game. Each area gives you a new way to be difficult. Don't be afraid to look up online for help. The game throws things you won't expect at you, so stay on your guard and be careful.
