The builds in this game are a ton of fun. Only thing i wish, is that there were 3 ring slots. Its like driving a 5 speed manual car and getting on the highway - it really wants that 6th gear. You can feel it.
Man, seeing how you stack the synergies all around the Umbral theme is _awesome._ All your videos on this game have been extremely enjoyable, and I'm stoked that you've been enjoying it as much as you are!
I’ve been using the eye umbral socket that lets you have a version of iFrames while doing charge attacks. Essentially, any hits you take while in your charge attack animation will only do wither damage. So, of course, by the time you’re swinging, you’re hitting some enemies and replenishes your health.
@@BriefKeef So after the Belled Rise - you lead out into the area with the vestige on the left (where the robed thief merchant guy is at for some point of time). From the vestige, you continue and almost uturn to the left at the first path - should be a Rector and 3-4 worshippers blocking the path. Go past them leading to a hill with a Hound Mistress, go past her. As you continue on this path you will lead down to a castle-like doorway that is blocked with 2 knights (maybe holy bulwarks?). In umbral - there is a item body sticking out that you can loot the Umbral Eye of Lousch. If running past - flay the body and if you die the item will still be on the ground. Not the easiest run, but I did it as soon as I unlocked the Pilgrim Perch Key and Belled Rise. This eye is completely busted once you learn how to use it correctly. I'm using it with a Radiance build with dual Bloody Glory. I will warn you - its one of those OP but boring things. All you do is a Heavy smash, back off, repeat, and it's almost impossible to die.
I’ve noticed it can be a little inconsistent on when it gets the withered damage, it almost seems like some enemy attacks double hit in one blow and cancel it out, anyone else notice this?
@@kristoferprovencal3608 yep, I’ve noticed it seems to not work sometimes. I bet you’re right about the type of attack that is hitting you. I think there is also a small debuff time before you can use it again. It’s not very long; but half a second to a second maybe.
Thank you Cowboy for showing off this Umbral build!! I did a respec for my character tonight to gradually get close to this same build! I’ve got Rosamund sword to +5 and also using a +4 Pieta for dual wielding!
Awesome build, love the focus around the free spells pendant and wither->poison interaction. I've been running an umbral dual-wield build with Rosamund's Sword + Judge Cleric's Corrupted Sword to hit on tons of damage types and supplement that with weapon buffs. With Bloodbane Ring and a Poison buff, these swords do Physical, Fire, Holy, Wither, Frostbite, Poison, and Bleed simultaneously. With Berescu's and a good selection of items at any given time it's a blast. Unfortunately I botched my first playthrough (RIP Winterberry), so guess I'm gonna have catch Barrage Root on the next one. On the topic of nerf possibilities for the Atrophy pendant, if the balancing was a concern they could increase the amount of wither damage inflicted on you enough to make it less spammy. I'm glad the devs aren't too focused on that sort of thing right now though, the game has enough negative press and concerns with performance and networking right now that it should be about quality of life and player empowerment.
This is another awesome video. I've almost finished my first run as a strength/Radiance build and want to get the Umbral ending so I can do my second playthrough with this build. Can't wait!
One thing you don't mention is how hard it is to get wither health back in melee when all your attacks only do wither damage except for charged attacks. If you can point blank a Javelin, it does pure phys damage, so that will get you back a chunk of wither health, but outside of that you'll find yourself being pressured pretty bad.
I love this build. I was initially super skeptical and used umbral magic primarily for support dps on my Ellianne's Sword build (umbral weapon, lingering despair, and those type of spells) but playing with this has been absolutely incredible. The only thing I don't like is that essentially any hit cancels your spellcasts, which can be tough in boss fights, especially if you're playing close up.
Was there a reason for 12/12 in Str and Agi? There are almost no Umbral weapons in the game, and the ones that scale in Rad/Inf usually have no other requirements. Crushing Gaze has a 15 Strength requirement. The Judge Cleric and Rosamund swords both have 13 req in Str/Agi. Putrid Polearm has 15 req in both. That's all I could think of, though. 15/13 would seem to be the max if you want to use every umbral weapon.
Looked around for builds after getting the game for Christmas, this one REALLY caught my eye. However, it seems that the Pendent that lets you cast infinitely got a nerf that people can't seem to agree is too much, totally deserved or not nearly enough and I'm not far enough into the game to say. Just thought I'd leave this here for anybody like me who was thinking of trying the build out after the patch in...November or so.
Hey cowboy have you tried this build in pvp? I’ve got everything except one ring for increased damage and I’ve been invaded 3 times today and wreaked them with barrage of echos. Much better then I thought it one shots them if a few of the orbs connect. Awesome build and great video and explanation!
Your right about this build my guy holy crap! I've made it to the tower of pennance in like 2 hours from a fresh start after respec XD used your build plus pietas sword just for some more power
I did a putrid child build somewhat similar. Went with rosamund sword just because i like it more and used the crafters essence to save the 10 levels of strength and agility. Have umbral weapon as the fourth spell. I have no way to prove it but it feels like it makes applying frostbite way quicker. Been trying to limit myself to 100, feels like the game gets way too easy if you outlevel it even a little
I’ve been watching your videos since dark souls 2 Loving the content on this game keep it up man!! Just started the game last night loving daggers think you could do a version of a dagger build?
Just did a run with a similar build and got a lot of use out of the martyrdom spell. Slow-ish cast but has insane tracking and when the nail emerges from the ground it ticks a bunch of times for extra damage in a nice aoe. Found it really good for locking down encounters with multiple elite enemies.
It's kind of a shame how few chunks are in the base game. I can get the Brescu catalyst up to 10, but then I'm out of chunks. At least maybe if there was an option to buy chunks with eyes, or scourings or a way to degrade the current gear to refund a chunk. :(
I, very strangely, can't. I don't know why, or if it's expected. The shrine rewards for me on PS5 v1.1.222, which apparently is the latest patch for consoles are all out of whack. All I can see from shrines are tincts, armor, fingers and mirrors. No chunks, or scourings. :'(
My co-op shrine sells nothing apart from armor and tincts. Nevertheless, I managed to get a friend to "drop" some for me with cloud saves. 😅 BTW, any other weapon suggestions with this build? Okay if it's weaker. I just have this weird thing with using aesthetically pleasing weapons. 😅
Question: If I want to cast an Inferno spell is an Inferno catalyst going to be my best option or do the spells only care about spell power? I ask because the Root rings let you cast spells from different schools. So when casting with a Radiant catalyst (for instance) would Inferno spells be scaling off of my Radiant stats? Or another example is if I used the Berescu catalyst to cast an Inferno spell will its spell power stat put out more damage than the best maxed Inferno catalyst?
Does Umbral Weapon cause Frost build up? I know Radiant Weapon actually causes Smite build up without actually mentioning it, whereas the salts are actually split into two: i.e. Holy Salt and Smite Salt, so it might be worth it to look into/ test Umbral weapon since frost seems to be associated with Umbral.
About the potential nerf: first thing that came to my mind was that damage dealt via the talisman (or more specifically by using health as a casting resource) will _not_ recover wither damage, only when casting with mana. Or at least recover less wither or something along those lines.
So I forgot which one does it, if its a ring or a pendant, but one of them lets you cast without mana and converts what you casted into wither damage. But when you have wither damage you can regain that damage by damaging enemies and it can even work with spells. So when you are casting with wither and you hit something, does it give you that health back? LMAO you answered the question like two minutes later. So yeah, this build is a friggin broken BEAST!
I run this build in my NG+1 and I agree it is a lot of fun for normal mobs. In bossfights the Barrage is kinda tricky for me: I have to take the boss out of the target to place the orbs right near him. If I have him targeted the very ofte go way far behind the boss. But taking a boss out of the target is very risky, because you very often do not see what he is actually doing or which attack he actualy prepairs. So on some bosses you can not use barrage and so you use a lot of your potential damage imho. What are your experiences with boss fights?
Do you remember around what level you switched from radiant spells to umbral? Edit: don't worry about it I worked through it. Having just played a pure strength build this build here is hilariously strong vs bosses in comparison.
@FightinCowboy I feel like the drop rate of that Fungus axe is so rare because, i have been farming it for at least 3 hours and the only weapon that drops is the regular pick axe; Any suggestions? Thanks for all your amazing content by the way. Alrighty. So. 30 minutes after i wrote this i got 2 of them.. so i guess, it could take up to 3 and 1/2 hours/ lol
I think they patched out this build at least regarding the ability to regen health by doing damage while wearing the necklace. Not happening anymore. My ranged spells don't heal the wither damage I receive.
The best build i have done yet is a strength/radiance hybrid. Devotion's might can do immense damage if built right. But i use 2 ebonlight abiding defender swords that i farmed, they are absolutely BUSTED. Bleed and frostbite machine with wither damage
I would put this as a top Tier souls like. The combat feel smooth and squeaky clean. The ranged can be quite aggravating until you get the hang of switching.
Havent played Mortal Shell, but I think Lies of P has better optimisation, but its more straightforward in terms of level design and some builds, though havent finished both games yet. Lies of P utilize parry system better, so its closer to Sekiro, while parry in Lotf isnt that great in my opinion. Still both are great games.
@@peacockplays7108agreed I think this game is insane , combat is amazing in my opinion as well completed one playthrough will probably do another with a new character
Is the exacter scripture catalyst not better than this one? It has 5 spell slots and it’s the only S scaling catalyst too. If you use the ring that allows you to cast umbral/inferno spells with a radient catalyst I think the scaling is transfered because the damage with latimer’s javelin is like 1400 with 70 radiance
Because Lost Berescu's scales off two stats you're getting double the potential spell damage. S-scaling means higher potential per point, but not enough to offset two As.
@@FightinCowboythx for the answer, i will probably have the possibility to get the ring and both axe with some other player sharing these to me ^^. Would like so much to play this build for this run and after follow your 100% guide with your radiance build.
@FightinCowboy I love your videos and I want to ask you for a suggestion I finish my first walkthrough fallowing your great umbral ending and now I don't know what I can do can you pls can give any suggestion for me and I like that build but I can't get some of the spell because I did the umbral ending
Thank you so much can I continue with the build the I use with your tutorial or a new one and my question do I lose my character stacks or I keep them with a new build @@FightinCowboy
yo I had no idea about the interaction of poison and wither, I have been wanting to make an umbral assassin, the bowman fungal daggers are super strong, their speed ends up working in your favor, the only problem is dagger builds don't lend themselves much to be caster hybrids, there's like the one radiant dagger, jeffrey's umbral scaling is actually quite poor and skinstealer knives kinda low too
I thought the umbral eye was bugged because not only light but also heavy attacks do wither, you have to fully charge it to deal regular damage, I was excited about it until I noticed it wouldn't work but the poison changes everything, I'm excited about it again
Doing a bow build, but I'm going for the Umbral ending for the putrid child class. I'm going to do right by Sparky this time, and then I have a very special present for Gerlinde. She is getting what she deserves this time.
Nerfed the javelin to the ground too. Now costs 15 ammo instead of 4 which also means more withered health you can't get back... what an atrocious nerf
I feel like the one sword from your radiance build could work too since it scales Inf/Rad. Although it’s not gonna do the build up damage like double toothpick xD I might combine the two builds just bc I love the light saber look, lol.
Just finished Lord class today but for Umbral ending. Starting Putrid Child soon and i have got to try this out. Hopefully better for all the flame resistant bosses at endgame 😂
Pickaxe runes are increase radiance, increase inferno, and dual wield bonus.
+poison buildup not ideal?
Unnecessary we already deal 300 poison per swing.
oh is 300 the mark? like instant proc? (i dont really know)
@@FightinCowboy
@@willy_lime its not but we generally proc in 2 hits anyway and once its procced additional poison does nothing so its not gonna do much for us here
Its exactly what im doing i did not find the catalist yet
Your enthusiasm for this game makes me so happy. I’m a big fan of this game and I love seeing others that are as into it as I am.
Same feeling. I absolutely love this game
Love this game. Can't stand all the hate it's getting.
Same, I'm loving this game and I'm on NG+. The negative reviews are nitpicking in my opinion.
I agree. I'm just extremely pleased with this game so far.
Love this game too definitely for me, many build and customization too..

Underrated game in so many ways, it feels more Dark Souls to me than DS3 and ER.
Dude I’ve looked up like 4 different sorcerer builds across 4 different souls games and you came up on all of them 😂😂😂 you’re my hero
After 250 hours of Souls game, there are two certainties in souls genre for me. Guides from Cowboy and lore from Vaati.
I changed my strength build main to this as my main now. It absolutely slaps. Barrage of echos is nuts.
Yes bro me too
This is the one, been grindin for an umbral build and yours is "sic" Awesome! Thank you.
I recently created an umbral build character so this guide was very helpful, thank you!

the cursed set is actually functional for that build cause frostbite resist. spam casting umbral builds frostbite really fast without resist.

This build looks insane, excited to see more
melted crusader sword is a good choice as well if you get str dex rad and inf to 50 it's damage is like 600-700
Oh I’ve been waiting for your Builds Cowboy
Your right about this build my guy holy crap! I've made it to the tower of pennance in like 2 hours from a fresh start after respec XD used your build plus pietas sword just for some more power
Scales to 97 in each stat... 60 and 75 are soft caps. Damage scaling will STOP at 97 at which point you'll only get resistances.
Pumping content 🫡😮💨
Love your build videos...will you do a video on the new spells added yesterday?
Does anyone know what the golden aura around his character is?
Its an eye socket for your lamp, forget where you get it.
I equipped the pendant of atrophy, my stats are above limit, and it still uses mana when I cast umbral spells. What's happening here?
it uses mana until you have none and then uses health
I did a putrid child build somewhat similar. Went with rosamund sword just because i like it more and used the crafters essence to save the 10 levels of strength and agility.
Have umbral weapon as the fourth spell. I have no way to prove it but it feels like it makes applying frostbite way quicker.

Man the builds in this game are so cool. Great job as always!
@FightinCowboy can you please maybe post a video or explain the stages to get this build? Starting class, weapons etc.?
That would help. The start is more tough than I would have thought
Thanks for the vid! What you recommend if you don’t want to use the pickaxes? I want to use something cool looking.
Why no lamp eye sockets in this video?
This is absolutely incredible. The potential for this game just went up after seeing a build like this. Looks very fun and hope to see more like this!

Just did a run with a similar build and got a lot of use out of the martyrdom spell. Slow-ish cast but has insane tracking and when the nail emerges from the ground it ticks a bunch of times for extra damage in a nice aoe. Found it really good for locking down encounters with multiple elite enemies.
Barrage root - locked behind the dumbest NPC quest where using an elevator locks you out
how are you dodging forward? I either have to dodge straight back or roll.
It's kind of a shame how few chunks are in the base game. I can get the Brescu catalyst up to 10, but then I'm out of chunks. At least maybe if there was an option to buy chunks with eyes, or scourings or a way to degrade the current gear to refund a chunk. :(
There's 4 but you can get more from pcp rewards, better get invading

I double checked it's the co-op covenant that has chunks

Where is the pendant of atrophy located? I can't find it anywhere. Please help.
im not sure if i missed it but how did you have it so it makes wither damage when you cast as opposed to draining mana?
Do you remember around what level you switched from radiant spells to umbral?
Edit: don't worry about it I worked through it.
Having just played a pure strength build this build here is hilariously strong vs bosses in comparison.
I'm in the new game plus 1 and if you've done a strength build you'll need this. I could only go so far and had to change to this
Where are you finding large deralium to upgrade your weapons? I am almost done with the game and almost never see any.
Can you do another umbral build with Judge Cleric's Corrupted Sword and Rosamund's Sword ?

How do you get the rings
How well do you think this game compares to Lies of P and Mortal Shell in terms of soulslike?
It's good you should like it if you played those
I would put this as a top Tier souls like. The combat feel smooth and squeaky clean. The ranged can be quite aggravating until you get the hang of switching.

I liked putrid polearms for that very reason (fungal picks but I use poison mist and the wither is just so awesome!).
Near the end of the video and even before that, you started casting with mana again. A bug?
Going to be using this build to go for the Platinum trophy! Thank you!
what ruins on the pick axes?
Did they nerf this build in the recent patch and is it a huge nerf blow or does it still work
2 things, 1 how do you have that gold aura around you, and what are the tunes you're using in your pickaxes?
Increase radiance, increase inferno, and dual wield physical boost in both.
Excellent build...
If we missed the Barrage root NPC quest, which ring can we use instead ? I hesitate to reroll my run (it is my first run unfinished)
There really isn't another replacement besides the 10% one. Maybe run the 10% and then the poison deals bleed?

Great build you got one more sub :)
yo I had no idea about the interaction of poison and wither, I have been wanting to make an umbral assassin, the bowman fungal daggers are super strong, their speed ends up working in your favor, the only problem is dagger builds don't lend themselves much to be caster hybrids, there's like the one radiant dagger, jeffrey's umbral scaling is actually quite poor and skinstealer knives kinda low too
I thought the umbral eye was bugged because not only light but also heavy attacks do wither, you have to fully charge it to deal regular damage, I was excited about it until I noticed it wouldn't work but the poison changes everything, I'm excited about it again
I missed being able to engage winterberry so I can’t get the 20% ring….. would this build still be OP?
You'd deal 20% less but otherwise yeah it's fine
Great build. What runes are you using ?
Doing a bow build, but I'm going for the Umbral ending for the putrid child class. I'm going to do right by Sparky this time, and then I have a very special present for Gerlinde. She is getting what she deserves this time.
I have all this except the ring that reduced slots in exchange for spell power and I do less than half this damage, not quite sure what I’m missing
Do you have both weapons at +10 ?
@@andrei-cezarbleaje5519 The catalyst, not the melee weapons. My issue is the spell damage
this build is nuts
Just finished my STR/Radiance playthrough now finna work on a fresh run with umbra build. Thanks cowboy
This will be my build watching Your walkthrough
Started a new playthrough with your guide and wanted to do an umbrel build, I'm so doing this.
How do you cast with health though mine just doesn't work after I have no mana
Necklace, explained in video.
How too not use mana to spell
You sir are a genius.
Very nice build!
How does this build hold up? Heard the eye of Lydia has been nerfed quite a lot 😢
The pendant got the same nerf... reduced wither damage regain... making it utterly fucking worthless.
Nerfed the javelin to the ground too. Now costs 15 ammo instead of 4 which also means more withered health you can't get back... what an atrocious nerf
I feel like the one sword from your radiance build could work too since it scales Inf/Rad. Although it’s not gonna do the build up damage like double toothpick xD I might combine the two builds just bc I love the light saber look, lol.
Just finished Lord class today but for Umbral ending. Starting Putrid Child soon and i have got to try this out. Hopefully better for all the flame resistant bosses at endgame 😂
