In the early game, your spirit options are limited, but you can still create effective builds. Focus on a balanced approach to combat and defense.
- Aggressive Melee:
- Main Spirit: Umbral Knight (reliable, fast attacks)
- Sub Spirits: Guardian Siegrid (shield for defense/counter), Gerrod (heavy damage, breaking defenses)
- Relics: HP Up, Damage Reduction, Stamina Recovery
This build focuses on getting close to enemies, blocking with Siegrid, and unleashing quick attacks with Umbral Knight or heavy blows with Gerrod. Prioritize upgrading Umbral Knight and Siegrid first.
- Balanced Approach:
- Main Spirit: Umbral Knight
- Sub Spirits: Guardian Siegrid, Eleine (for ranged options once acquired)
- Relics: HP Up, Prayer Recovery, Dodge Distance Up
This build offers a mix of melee and ranged options, with a focus on survivability and utility. Eleine's ranged attacks can help with flying enemies or those with dangerous close-range attacks.
Remember to adapt your build based on the enemies you encounter and the relics you find.
