first ds run and this is what i use, i swap Iaito+15 for Halberd+15 if i wanna poke and stuff instead of running w a smaller katana. also i like mask of the child and sanctus shield even though the hp regen on sanc is veeeeeerrrrrrrryyyyy slow and small i just like the aesthetic look but u could use green blossoms for extra stam regen. lmk what u think if u try it out
