Notes from author
Extremely high poise build. Chaos murakumo for stunlocking enemies without armor, and lightning rapier for backstabs and ripostes. Pyro glove is optional, but useful, I suggest to use Black Flame, since its probably the best with this setup.
You can swap out the murakumo, and the armor for any other piece of gear that suits for the build, like the Zweihander, or even full giant armor, except for the helmet, but I suggest to stay with Havel's armor on, since its the highest poise chestpiece, and while using it, you will endure at least one hit from any kind of weapon and not get staggered.
