Notes from author
The True Dragon build focuses on fast weapon swaps and the incredible range and utility of the dragon roar to compliment its pyromancies.
The two shields used here are the black knight's shield and crest shield. They offer incredible defense against the two most commonly used elements, fire and magic, while still offering 100% physical block and decent stability.
The weapons used can vary a lot, but the incredible power of Roar + Avelyn is crazy. The roar is almost guaranteed to stagger the enemy target for just long enough for a full Avelyn burst.
Optionally, swap out the Avelyn for the silver knight's spear, Obsidian Greatsword (2-hand only), Pike (2-Hand only), Flamberge, or Dark Silver Tracer for great melee ability.
This build focuses on zoning and keeping the opponent out of range to deal enough damage to outright kill out quick. The Wolf Ring is there as a backup in case you screw up and get hit so that you don't get stunlocked. If you are feeling ballsy, go ahead and swap it out for the Bellowing Dragoncrest Ring. Your fire tempest can instantly kill any opponent while power within is active and your roar is on. (At least I have never NOT one shotted someone. I haven't tested it against a 99 vit character in full black knight's armor)
