With your choice of shield I will say: Leda's chest looks EXCEPTIONAL with the Tree Sentinel boots and gloves. Not sure how they compare with your choice for poise, but if one uses more incants than melee I think dropping below 51 isn't a critical issue. This also allows for the use if the Circlet of Light for even more damage with the LED pillar! I've also found the sweet spot Mind for me is 38. At maxed flasks a cerulean tear will top you off almost perfectly every single time if you can get that bar emptied completely. Also, if this build should be taken into pvp, I STRONGLY urge you to use Law of Regression, as the range is enormous and with the dlc there's SO many new ways to buff. This really puts phantoms and hosts alike on the defensive.
Ooooo good to know about that Mind breakpoint and great suggestion on the Tree Sentinel gear, looks real sharp! They've got a bit more poise (and weight) than the Oathseeker set, so if you went Circlet of Light + Leda's + Tree Gloves + Tree Boots you'd still end up above 51 Poise. I'll pin your comment so others can see that if they want to rock the Circlet of Light. Next time I do some PvP I'll check out Law of Regression, thanks!
@NKobold I've used like six Larval Tears a day since the dlc dropped, haha I've been buildcrafting a ton too! If you need an idea bounce guy feel free to shoot me a message. Extra pair of eyes sometimes can be refreshing EDIT: The Law of Regression incant seems perfect for this build, if the Sword of Light grants a 20% boost to Holy. LoG will even the playing field and then zoning with your sword even once will make your spells all the more terrifying. Good way to keep yourself buffed while denying others.
I can't believe I found this! I'm doing a funny Miquella beats Elden Ring run and I was searching for inspiration but it's so hard. But now though... thank you so much.
Also, on a different note: Consider maybe antithesis build. All darkness themed. Check out the Shadow Militia hood with the Night Cavalry set, it's one of my favorites. It goes HARD with the Ancient Meteoric Ore Greatsword in particular, but it has a flash of light effect so might not work for the theme of the build.
I had been thinking about a Darkness themed sort of build, initially I wanted to use the Sword of Darkness but where it's a Holy Damage debuff there wasn't a lot of room to keep it 'dark' aha. I might try to do Shadow Militia vibe build that focuses on Status Effects / Bleed like the enemies do. I didn't realize the helm kept the glowing eyes, I agree it looks rad with Night Cavalry!
Glad you liked it, thanks! I slept on Radagon's Icon for the longest time aha, trying to go full caster (or pretty close) really made me appreciate how much better spell casting felt with that bit of extra speed.
Check out a video about Holy Damage just released by Chrightt called "Bugged since the start?" He very expertly and with evidence proves Holy is entirely bugged to its core in PvP, and the information he details may be useful in future buildcrafting with even a single toe dipped into the PvP pool.
i really wish Light of Miquella didnt have a 72 faith requirement. I do a fairly similar build, but i put 30 str for erdtree greatshield and 31 int for all ring incantations. Sadly requires a lot of levels
I hear that, whenever I go to try to put together the level 150 version it always surprises me how tight you are for levels if you want to put 80 into any stat.

Nice! I'm glad it helped with some inspiration, good luck on the Miquella run!

Was aiming for something similar, thank you for making this.
Didn't even consider Radagon's Icon.

In base game, this wasn't viable enough, but let me tell you, I've been searching for a build like this for always. Thank you, honey ❤️
