Faithful Chaotic Heretic Build - (Darks Souls 3) - Darksouls123

Build Overview

For players seeking even more firepower, this chaotic mage build made by Youtuber xGodsChosenOnex in 2020 may be worth checking out. Combining the use of powerful pyromancies and lightning-based miracles is an excellent two-pronged offensive for spellcasters, as few foes can defend themselves from both types of damage effectively. Backing the spells up with the Demon's Scar (to cast pyromancies as well as for melee attacks) and an infused Great Machete will complete this deadly build.

PVP Tips

As is common with hyper-offensive Dark Souls 3 Intelligence builds, dealing with incoming damage can be a concern. This is due to the lack of effort placed into wearing decent armor in order to excel at casting both pyromancies and miracles with high Intelligence and Faith. As such, defensive buffs like Sacred Oath that increase one's damage absorption, as well as grant other boons, can be handy with this build.

PVE Tips

With both powerful fire and lightning damage at one's disposal, players using this build should be able to unleash solid damage against almost any kind of foe. There are few enemies in the main game that resist both fire and lighting, so the odds of having a favorable match-up against common threats and bosses alike will be high.
