Hey, ik this is a older video but why wouldn’t we use blood flame on the blood build version, wouldn’t that just make getting bleeds off easier, I’m new so I don’t really know what does what, does blood flame have some drawback or something?
@@Yero-pp8hm hi there, the reason is that bloodflame blade can not be applied to blood infusion. It can only be applied to standard, heavy, keen and quality (not sure if I've missed any) infusions.
Thank you! What weapon(s) do you have in mind to compare with bloodhound's fang? I will see if my schedule can fit it in before the DLC as I am on vacation for some time. Can't wait for the DLC, Cheers!
I love this video. Could you give a bloodflame build for a level 100 character. This is my first playthrough, you’re amazing I’m subscribing immediately!
Thank you so much! For level 100, I recommend to play with heavy infusion with stats like (feel free to change), change to quality when you reach higher level: Vigor 40, mind 13, endurance 15, str 54, dex 22, int 0, faith 12, arcane 10 - you will wear lighter armor. If you have more points, add to vigor, mind, endurance as you go.
Wonderful review. I will be playing the cold version. I am a little burned out from arcane build. Any other recommendations for AoWs? What do you think about unsheath or sword dance for build like this?
Thank you! I played unsheath on Uchigatana using bloodflame blade. You can definitely try it on nagakiba. Not sure if you would consider it as arcane build though. The closest to sword dance I tried is the LORETTA'S WAR SICKLE BUILD. It is a fun idea to put it on nagakiba.
Thanks! I would suggest keep faith at either 10 (EDIT: 12 the minimum) or 25 to cast golden vow AoW or spell. And reduce str and dex a bit. The damage should be fine. If you are not wearing heavy armor, squeeze some endurance point out is okay. Cheers!
thank you for the video! I really enjoy the details you include. I have one question about the bloodflame build. If I wanted more vigor, what stats would you take away from in order to get to either 50 or even 55 vigor? I"m still new so I need more life but I"m not sure which stats to give-up to get more vigor.
Sure thing. You can take out faith. Only keep your faith at 15 first to be able to cast Flame, Grant me Strength, then 25 to cast Golden Vow, and then 33 to cast howl of shabriri. Extra points are used to increase the added fire damage of the bloodflame blade buff, which is a small portion (it only matters later in the game).
@@AL-ve4yd Hey, yes, at this level, keen infusion was used. To start with, we can use heavy infusion and shift to quality later. Using unsheath probably is another build 🙂 Check this early video out. Not using Nagakiba, but with Uchigatana if interested. th-cam.com/video/PyW9BdECPi8/w-d-xo.html
Thanks! I am thinking bringing strength from 40 to 54 to increase weapon AR. For the rest 16 points, maybe some into arcane and some into vigor if needed. The return of investment on the damage might just be diminished due to the softcap.
if ur on ng+9 then i would recommend changing the lightning scorpion for the dragoncrest cus the scorpion makes u take 10% more damage and as ur on ng+9 idk if the extra damage would be worth it
Thank you so much for your Video! Very informative and exactly what I was looking for since I love my Nagakiba with Double Slash and Bloodflame. Could you help me out with this on: I’m a lvl 210 with 60 Vig, 25 Min, 40 End, 23 Str, 80 Dex, 9 Int, 46 Faith and 10 Arc. I play with Thorny Cracked Tear and Flame Shrouding Cracked Tear. I use two Nagakibas each 25+. Right one is Keen and the left one is cold. Other than that I use the Finger Seal +25 and the same talismans you mentioned in your video. Since I really enjoy having that much Vig and End I wouldn’t like to go down here. I could take 5 of mind and go down to 20. Where should I put runes into as priority? Faith or Strength?
Thank you. I think your build is very solid at this point. I agree 60 points in vigor is good especially for DLC at this point. 40 endurance sounds a little high to me, unless you are wearing very heavy armor. Pulling 5 points out of mind is totally fine. I think I only had 15 which was okay. Finger seal +25 is fine until you have 66 above faith where Erdtree seal starts to exceeds. In terms of further improvement, you might want to consider change your right hand to quality affinity. I don't know how much you want to invest. I just assume you have 14 additional points - you want to decide invest thest points into strength or faith. Short answer is faith. The improvement is just a little as you have reached a point that your build is good. If you would like further improvement, add strength to 54. Anyway, here is a break down for allocating the additional 14 points. Erdtree Seal (Finger seal is the same until 66 faith) 46 faith incantation scaling 230 60 faith incantation scaling 267 14 points in faith gives 37 faith incantation scaling. Bloodflame blade adds Fire damage: 0.40 * Faith based Incantation scaling, which is 37*0.4 = 14.8 Nagakiba +25 two hand attack rating Str 23, dex 80, keen, 603 str 23, dex 80, quality, 560 str 23+14=37, dex 80, quality, 616 str 23+14=37, dex 80, keen, 608 (actually close to quality, unless you further invest in strength) 14 more points in strength and switch to quality gives 616-603=13. So the answer is 14 points in faith gives you 14.8 more flat fire damage, and 14 points in strength gives you 13 flat physical damage. They are close. In the end, it is easier to scale physical damage. The 13 flat damage may win after you have all the buffs. But faith at 60 can enable us to cast more incantations with better damage if that's something you want to consider. Anyway, if you have more points to invest, switch to quality, and increase strength to 54 would be the ideal next upgrade. Maybe TMI, but hope it helps on the reasoning. Cheers.
@@casualgg oh wow thank you so much for your time and this great explanation! This is exactly what I was hoping for. Correct I need that much Endurance because I use some heavy armor. But I dropped it to 37 because it’s still enough. Since I don’t really use incantations that much beside buffs (BF, GV and FGMS) and some few for attacking (honed bolt and lightning spear), I decided to go with strength and dropped faith to lvl 26. Means my new build according to your recommendations is 60 Vig 20 Min 37 End 54 Str 80 Dex 9 Int 26 Fai 10 Arc + switched my right hand Nagakiba 25+ to Quality (but the left one is still Cold because it does great damage almost like Quality with Frost buildup 105 and blood loss buildup 38). Will put the next points definitely into Strength. As you said, it’s easier to scale physical damage and I’m really not into incantations lol Again, thank very much. I wish you the best mate.
I like your guides but your Information is very spotty. as your level 150 suggestion is base 10 faith but bricks the build and essentially makes it to where you cant use bloodflame at all and you cant use the Seals effectively either.
@@Trystian-jg6wh All the 4 builds in the video have more than 10 points in faith (build 1: 50 faith, build 2: 25 faith, build 3: 33 faith, build 4: 60 faith). I hope I can address the right question... EDIT: I edited some of my response in the past, we need at least 12 faith the use bloodflame blade. Thank you!
Hey sir, for bloodflame build and bleed build, is spinning slash better than double slash ? In term of damages and stun ? (With the exact same stats & level as yours)
Hi there, double slash does no stun at all. IMHO, it has very different play style from spinning slash, which doesn't seem like procing consecutive attacks as fast as double slash. I could be wrong as I haven't tried it yet. If it doesn't benefit from consecutive attacks much, you can consider put is on a weapon with higher attack rating.
we can reduce faith to 33 to be still able to use Howl of sharbriri, and take some points from both str and dex. It will do less damage, but should be totally fine for ng+7.
I don't recall I changed for simplicity as the damage seems enough. You can try if occult infusion gives you better weapon AR, and replace some taliman for sure. Cheers.
@@casualgg which numbers are those "fire damage"? because i got some faith points (40) and my light attacks damage stays the same with the bloodflame buff
Have you upgraded your seal? The added fire damage can be seen from the equipment menu when you click on your weapon. Before bloodflame blade, fire damage should be zero. After you cast it, you will see some numbers there. If you use +10 erdtree seal with 80 Faith, the number should be 353*0.4=141 in fire damage.
60 in vigor is enough. 70 vigor won't give you much. You can choose to use the Golden Vow (Tool) with no need to have 25 faith. Just a little less damage and defense with 45 seconds duration instead of 80. Then take some points out from strength, dex, and arcane.
its possible use bloodflame blade on this cold build? bloodflame will buff your hemorrhage and deals fire damage to your weapon, so u can apply 3 dmg types
Thank you! 11:17 has a summary of how I think about the builds. Bleed has higher damage and it is very strong. Bloodflame has been my fav due to its visual and also good damage. Hope this helps!
I am currently using the blasphemous blade and In ng+1 want to change into something different and fun that deals good amount of damage and I am lvl 150 what should I do
can you try to make a occult nagakiba? its basedamage is higher + because of the high arcane the blood effect is pretty much the same as in a blood nagakiba
Good idea. It will be a trade-off between higher damage and more blood loss buildup. For nagakiba, blood affinity has D, B, D scaling in str, dex, and arcane. Occult affinity has E, D, B scaling in str, dex, and arcane. The base damage of blood affinity and occult affinity are at 236 vs 247, and base blood loss build up 82 vs 38. I haven't done a full comparison, while blood affinity looks more appealing in this case.
@@casualgg I get your point. Back then the occult affinity had different scaling grades so it was pretty overpowered. But it got nerfed. A comparison would be great
@@sentrien3877 Agree. For the same weapon, the trade off between more damage and more bleed is always there. It also depends on the enemy's resistances. It might easier to compare between different weapons, like this one I did recently: th-cam.com/video/sr08fLtOpMU/w-d-xo.html. The difference for Nagakiba is not that obvious. I heard folks mentioning the beast claws weapon in DLC - the occult scaling has made it to have similar base damage as heavy infusion while Occult has the blood loss buildup on it.
if I go into DLC with this bleed build. do you recommend I start putting more points into vigor or endurance? Just finished my first playthrough. level 158 rn but might farm runes.
@@casualgg I smacked the DLC but did raise vigor to 60 throughout the dlc. I'm level 239 with 60 vigor, 15 mind, 26 endurance (for equipment i wanted to wear), 41 str, 80 dex, 21 int (to try new weapons), 25 faith and 55 arcane. I'll prob focus str next I assume and arcane.
@@subtlefps hey, good to know. I pretty much have vigor at 50 to 60 in the DLC. Based on your stats, yes, next would be str and arcane. You can also try increase faith to try some HP regen incantations, as there is a new bloodsucking cracked tear which increases attack power by 20% by drains 1% HP per second. Cheers!
Thank you! First, we use blood infusion on the weapon, which will give 82 blood loss buildup by default. Second, we have 55 arcane in the video, which adds the rest of the blood loss buildup to the weapon. Hope this helps.
It will be the one of your choice🙂I think I used greenburst crystal tear. It can also be stats-knot crystal tears e.g. dex or str. Or some defensive tears.
You don't need extra points in faith, maybe just 25 to cast golden vow or nothing. Then remove points from strength and dex. You can consider two-hand heavy infusion before shift to quality infusion, since you get 1.5 multiplier on the strength.
Keep strength at 12 which gives us 24 points back. Then reduce some points to intelligence (40), endurance (17) and dex(70). Make slight changes to your need.
It is not easy to tell for me. I was looking at the Maliketh fight 00:59 vs 3:41. It might be the bleed happened at different times, over time they maybe close.
@@casualgg i mean to be fair, bloodflame blade version is missing all the buffs that the blood version has but then again they're still both better than rob 🤣🤣
Google translate is awesome :) nah, str and dex are for the weapon attack rating. I put more in dex because the consecutive attacks do a lot of damage, besides bleed. Between dex and str, I would put more into dex as it scales with dex at B. What level are you at? You can have e.g. around 60 dex, and 45 arcane.
@@casualgg sorry my bad I thought you’re Chinese 🤣 I’m currently 120ish with 45 faith and 50 arcane cuz I’m doing a dragon communion Incant play through, but I’m between Nagakiba and Elonora’s pole blade for my melee weapon and I really prefer Nagakiba. If you suggest i need to respec my stats I can do that too to reach maximize my melee damage
@@jordanjeeva1775 It is a classic trade off imho - bleed triggers more bleed, occult has higher damage. You probably can use bleed for enemies who are not immune to bleed, and occult for enemies who are immune to bleed.

Is quality better that keen for blood flame or are you using a greatbow as well on the build for the strength scaling ?
This build dose not use a bow. Quality will give higher weapon damage than keen when we have enough points in both strength and dexterity
Thank you so much for your Video! Very informative and exactly what I was looking for since I love my Nagakiba with Double Slash and Bloodflame.
Could you help me out with this on:
I’m a lvl 210 with 60 Vig, 25 Min, 40 End, 23 Str, 80 Dex, 9 Int, 46 Faith and 10 Arc.

Anyway, here is a break down for allocating the additional 14 points.
Erdtree Seal (Finger seal is the same until 66 faith)
46 faith incantation scaling 230
60 faith incantation scaling 267
14 points in faith gives 37 faith incantation scaling.
Bloodflame blade adds Fire damage: 0.40 * Faith based Incantation scaling, which is 37*0.4 = 14.8
Nagakiba +25 two hand attack rating
Str 23, dex 80, keen, 603
str 23, dex 80, quality, 560
str 23+14=37, dex 80, quality, 616
str 23+14=37, dex 80, keen, 608 (actually close to quality, unless you further invest in strength)
14 more points in strength and switch to quality gives 616-603=13.
So the answer is 14 points in faith gives you 14.8 more flat fire damage, and 14 points in strength gives you 13 flat physical damage. They are close. In the end, it is easier to scale physical damage. The 13 flat damage may win after you have all the buffs. But faith at 60 can enable us to cast more incantations with better damage if that's something you want to consider.

we can reduce faith to 33 to be still able to use Howl of sharbriri, and take some points from both str and dex. It will do less damage, but should be totally fine for ng+7.
Hi sir, is the Occult affinity good for B scaling Arc, and 60 point in Arc,+25 nagakiba ?
Yes, occult will have higher damage but less bleed proc, which is good for bleed immune bosses such as radagon.
for the bloodflame build are those stats/attributes before or after the talisman boosts
It should be with the gear but not with the greatrune. The only thing I can recall is that Milicent's Prosthesis will add 5 points into dexterity.
Great video, is Flame Grant me strength not effective with the cold build?
Thanks! It only boost physical damage in that case. The cold build will have part of the damage as magic damage.
For your bleed build, did you change your character for radagon and elden beast/ enemies who don’t bleed?
I don't recall I changed for simplicity as the damage seems enough. You can try if occult infusion gives you better weapon AR, and replace some taliman for sure. Cheers.
I can't make my nagakiba a blood nagakiba when I use the double slash ash of war, anyone know why?
Time to pick up the BLACK WHETBLADE in Nokron, Eternal City right before we find the mimic tear.
Any suggestion for stats for the bloodflame build with NG+0 (im new to elden ring)
Because your starting out just put most of ur stats into health and dex
Instead of quality infusion, we can use heavy infusion (two-handed) to start with, and switch to quality infusion very late in the game or NG+ above.
What stats would you recommend for a level 150 character for the blood flame variant? Awesome video btw man

@@casualgg how relevant is faith at level 150? i skilled 60 to dex and 40 to faith. and is faith important for stronger bleed building?
Faith adds fire damage (0.4 times the faith based incantation scaling) when we are buffed with bloodflame blade. At 150, it is not a priority imho.
@@casualgg which numbers are those "fire damage"? because i got some faith points (40) and my light attacks damage stays the same with the bloodflame buff

Could you pair cold katana with bleed katana dual wielding?
I think so as they both primarily scale with dex, and then add some points into int and arcane.
I’m interested in the bleed build and want 25 faith and 60 or 70 vigor. How would you split the stats? I’m level 197
60 in vigor is enough. 70 vigor won't give you much. You can choose to use the Golden Vow (Tool) with no need to have 25 faith. Just a little less damage and defense with 45 seconds duration instead of 80. Then take some points out from strength, dex, and arcane.
its possible use bloodflame blade on this cold build? bloodflame will buff your hemorrhage and deals fire damage to your weapon, so u can apply 3 dmg types

if I go into DLC with this bleed build. do you recommend I start putting more points into vigor or endurance? Just finished my first playthrough. level 158 rn but might farm runes.
Good idea on vigor. Endurance can be the second option if you farm more runes.
@@casualgg I smacked the DLC but did raise vigor to 60 throughout the dlc. I'm level 239 with 60 vigor, 15 mind, 26 endurance (for equipment i wanted to wear), 41 str, 80 dex, 21 int (to try new weapons), 25 faith and 55 arcane.
I'll prob focus str next I assume and arcane.
@@subtlefps hey, good to know. I pretty much have vigor at 50 to 60 in the DLC. Based on your stats, yes, next would be str and arcane. You can also try increase faith to try some HP regen incantations, as there is a new bloodsucking cracked tear which increases attack power by 20% by drains 1% HP per second. Cheers!
how to make bleed build up to 112 ? thank you btw
Thank you! First, we use blood infusion on the weapon, which will give 82 blood loss buildup by default. Second, we have 55 arcane in the video, which adds the rest of the blood loss buildup to the weapon. Hope this helps.
Can you tell me some stats for the bleed one at level 150?
I would take around 15 points from strength, dex and arcane.
@@casualgg thx
How would you apply seppuku to the double slash nagakiba?
In the bleed build what Is the second tear?
It will be the one of your choice🙂I think I used greenburst crystal tear. It can also be stats-knot crystal tears e.g. dex or str. Or some defensive tears.
what stats would you recommend for level 110 for bleed build
Which build?
@@casualgg the bleed build
@@eclipsedolio I would use something like this - vig 40, mind 15, endurance 17, str 20, dex 50, arcane 30, faith 7 (or no investment).
@casualgg thank you so much for that
@eclipsedolio sure thing. Cheers 🥂
So what is the best one you think
11:17 has my PoV. It depends on everyone’s style. Cheers!
Do you have a stat setup for a level 100 electric build for the nagakiba
You don't need extra points in faith, maybe just 25 to cast golden vow or nothing. Then remove points from strength and dex. You can consider two-hand heavy infusion before shift to quality infusion, since you get 1.5 multiplier on the strength.
@@casualgg thanks but when you say you don’t need points into faith why did the lightning build have so much faith in your video?
@@duvalrider1140 Faith is for the Electrify Armament buff. It is less of priority at early level. Hope this helps.
@@casualggoh thanks
HI i have a question. which is the best for you ? and nice video man
Thanks. I mentioned it at 11:17. Hope that is helpful. Bloodflame blade version is still my favorite even though it is not the highest damage version.
God give me flame and golden vow adds even more damage to the first build
Yup, but we can only choose either golden vow or bloodboil aromatic as they are the buffs in the same category
How is it a blood nakiba when you are just using double sash ? Wat istn a blood ash of war
We infuse the Nagakiba with blood affinity. I think we mean the same thing:-)
So i cant do one of these builds if im not ng+7 ?
Of course you can. NG+7 is a demo of how capable they are. Let me know if you need options about any build.
What stats would you recommend for a level 150 character for the cold variant?
Keep strength at 12 which gives us 24 points back. Then reduce some points to intelligence (40), endurance (17) and dex(70). Make slight changes to your need.
Bloodflame blade actually has a higher damage output than the bleed infusion
It is not easy to tell for me. I was looking at the Maliketh fight 00:59 vs 3:41. It might be the bleed happened at different times, over time they maybe close.
@@casualgg i mean to be fair, bloodflame blade version is missing all the buffs that the blood version has but then again they're still both better than rob 🤣🤣
@@wiselyx Yup for the current state of the game imho as well. Maybe DLC can bring some new elements. Can't wait!
can i use bloodflame blade on the bleed build
Bloodflame blade buff won't apply on blood infusion.
@@casualgg thank you
Can you use the blood flame with the bleed version of ngakiba
Bloodflame blade applies on standard, heavy, quality and keen (not sure if I miss any) infusions. It will not work on blood infusion.
Why quality and not keen?
When we reach to a certain level with enough points in both strength and dexterity, quality will offer higher weapon AR.
For the bleed naga, what stat would you reccomend for a level 150 character?
I would try something like this to reduce arcane to 40, str to 25 and dex to 60. It will do less damage but should be okay.
@@casualgg thank you!
what are your stats ?
I think they are included in the video for each build, but which build are you looking for?
You can't use incantations and ash of wars together, this has been patched
I am not sure what incantation and ash of war together. Can you share more?
nagakiba必须得有80 Dex吗😭 我为了高Arcane高Faith现在只有20 Dex和15 strength
Google translate is awesome :) nah, str and dex are for the weapon attack rating. I put more in dex because the consecutive attacks do a lot of damage, besides bleed. Between dex and str, I would put more into dex as it scales with dex at B. What level are you at? You can have e.g. around 60 dex, and 45 arcane.
@@casualgg sorry my bad I thought you’re Chinese 🤣 I’m currently 120ish with 45 faith and 50 arcane cuz I’m doing a dragon communion Incant play through, but I’m between Nagakiba and Elonora’s pole blade for my melee weapon and I really prefer Nagakiba. If you suggest i need to respec my stats I can do that too to reach maximize my melee damage
lol, if you have a lava tear, respect some faith points into dex and you are good to go 👍
Is bloodflame version or bleed version better?
Not easy to say depending on the situation - I prefer bloodflame as for the visual effect, bleed version has slight higher damage.
@@casualgg and do you think for bleed version occult nagakiba is better than blood nagakiba?
@@jordanjeeva1775 It is a classic trade off imho - bleed triggers more bleed, occult has higher damage. You probably can use bleed for enemies who are not immune to bleed, and occult for enemies who are immune to bleed.
