Dark Souls 3 - ULTIMATE FAITH GUIDE (Miracles)

at the advent of fire Gwyn plucked a soul from within the first flame and with the strength of Lords he defeated the ancient dragons with the power of sunlight manifested as lightning the tales of his battle prowess are still recited to this day spoken tales of Quinns battle with the Dragons reveals the Lightning itself in the chanters hands but is a miracle not but a tale lightnings take this tale describes the lost practices of ancient dragon slayers sunlight spear the tales of winds arch dragon hunts describe the inception of the age of fire dark moon blade miracles of the dark moon are tales of revenge or are miracles more akin to Scripture or perhaps both tale and scripture for miracles are fruit of the study of divine tales a blessing received from the gods through acts of prayer you know in my home of Kareem I was a nun I would be pleased to share the tales of miracles with you although to be honest I only know a few but if I had a divine tome I could tell you many tales and more through a medium such as a talisman or chime we are able to pray to the gods and watch as their power is bestowed upon ourselves but isn't only a God or Lord able to be the inspiration behind these miracles we know that Havel himself wrote his own Scripture that would become the bedrock of the magic barrier miracle alas he was a bishop in the way of white the very church dedicated to worshipping Lord Gwyn to cast a miracle the caster learns a tale of the gods and says a prayer to be blessed by its revelations so perhaps in the same way st. Peter wrote scripture for the Christian God so too did Havel write his own tale of the gods and manifested it as his very own there are miracles for the dark moon blades but we know Gwendolyn to be a God Belka herself bows her own miracles though she is a goddess even the deep as miracles though they likely be altered as their deity it seems that all that is required is an outstanding tale and faith in something bigger than yourself for what are miracles without their faith I am the ashen home and thank you for listening to my presence Frary or not I hope you enjoyed the intro in the beginning although most of my channel is about weapons and strategy and techniques I still admire and love the law in Dark Souls and without it I wouldn't like it as much the ashen hollow is an awesome Dark Souls lore uploader and I definitely recommend you go check out his channel his take on the lore is absolutely amazing so make sure to go subscribe to them and show him some love the intro was done from A to Z by polka shine he helped me out the ton when I first started my channel and he's a very active and prominent member of the community please show him some love too and subscribe to his channel he's an awesome uploader and deserves much more recognition their real income discrepancy either be power for good or power for evil the intention of this video is to imitate the gods and Dark Souls and even surpass them mortals say that miracles are weak and the other schools of magic are more powerful now of course we know mortals are in general obedient and tribalistic as we see in our real world and that's exactly what the gods want the Dark Souls so let me show you how to unleash the fury of miracles on to loitering let's begin first things first let's discuss the items and stats you will need to become more powerful as a miracle user and then at the end look at all the different bills you can do with miracles in the game miracle damage and efficiency is determined by the faith staff the optimum level ranges between 50 and 60 and in this video we are going full faith built so we'll discuss this in the context of a full faith film the best starting class for a faith build is the cleric since it has the highest faith of the start with 16 faith but I don't recommend to pick the clerk instead go with the Pyromancer class since it has 14 faith but also has 14 and intelligence which we will be needing for our setup and also to add more variety to our build most of the good miracles in the game are found in mid to late game so you'll have a particularly tough time as a cleric in the beginning of the game and that's why I recommend you go melee by infusing a weapon with row at the beginning a storage grave sword is a good choice to go with early on now let's talk about chimes and talismans these are the tools that cast miracles talismans were in Dark Souls 1 and chimes were in Dark Souls 2 and they decided to feature them both in Dark Souls 3 the different between them are the webinars and in general chimes do a tad bit more damage than the talismans but that doesn't make them better in any way in fact talismans are much more practical and better in general so the webinar for the chimes are self regen buff it slowly regenerates your HP as long as it stays in either of your hands the weapon art for talismans is a special one and in fact this is definitely one of the best weapon arts in the game no doubt and if miracles had more variety and spells it becomes the most powerful school of magic but the only thing putting it down at the moment is the lack of variety so the webinar basically gives you an immense amount of poise while casting which basically means you can keep casting even if you get hit which is awesome and that means you can trade with an ultra great sword user with ease this luxury cannot be found in other schools of magic so when you're a sorcerer for example you have to make sure that you can complete the cast before you get hit but talismans that's not the case you can screw up and yet still inflict massive damage on to your opponent the best talisman in terms of damage when you have anywhere between 50 and 60 faith is same talisman but you know this is Dark Souls and having the best damage doesn't mean [ __ ] and it doesn't mean it's the best the poise you are giving during the weapon art is not actually equal between the talismans and the same talismans has the lowest poise by far making it not ideal for the weapon art as you can get staggered out of it easily the highest poise weapon art comes from the sunlight talisman its poise is so immense that you can literally tank multiple hits from heavy weapons and still not get staggered but this still doesn't make it the best since it has considerably lower damage than the Saints talisman so what is the best talisman you ask the answer is the canvas talisman you can still tank many many hits at the same time its damage is just barely lower than the Saints talisman so you can get the best of both worlds you can catch the trade hits like a boss and the same time inflict high damage when it comes to the best time it's your chicest charm in general I would have the canvas talisman on my left hand so I can use in short-range combat so I can have the poise and not get staggered if I get hit now we'll use the shortest time on my right hand for long range engagements since I won't be needing the weapon art since I'm casting from a safe range and don't forget that the weapon arts uses up extra focus points so you want to be as conservative as possible if are using weapon buffs or buddy buffs then I will have yours cos time on my left hand now let's move to the rings that you need for this setup the first ring you need is more on this ring it can be found in the road of sacrifices so it can be found very early in game which is a good thing it increases your miracle damage by 12% although the damage increase is not significant it feel very good especially when you stack it with our next ring and that ring this ring of the Suns firstborn this ring used to be a Dark Souls 1 and a slower imprecation were and are still very big its description merely talks about the sons firstborn and how he was the God of War but his foolishness in siding with the Dragons cause of him is banishment from the city of the gods under Londo this ring increases miracle damage by 20% which is significant increase especially when you stack it with morons ring another very important ring is sages ring it decreases your cast speed and in general Americans are slow to cast so if you don't have any dexterity in your build I strongly recommend you using this ring as casting faster is always better always miracles takes up a lot of Toulmin slots so dark moon ring is also perfect ring for this build it gives you two extra swap for your spell's having more spells gives you more diversity especially when you want to incorporate some pyromancies with this build now let's talk about the most important spells the bread and butter of any faith build the first spells we will be looking at are the lightning spear great lightning spear and sunlight spear of course sunlight spear is the best but as you progress through the game you should upgrade as needed you find a lightning spear and fire and keep which is early in the game you find great lightning spear in both red castles you can find it almost halfway through the game and finally you find the sunlight spear after killing the final boss and offering his soul to lock lithium Firelink shrine these spells concentrate on long-range combat especially the sunlight spear it's damage of literates PV enemies with ease and since you're doing all this from the luxury of range you will find yourself hurling lightning Spears with local retaliation the only problem with the sunlight spear is that it uses up a lot of focus points so having ashen Estus flask is almost a must of your planet to use it a lot the sunlight sphere was cast by Gwen the lord of cinder to defeat the dragons as they were weak to lightning this speaks volumes how powerful this spell is portrayed in the game when it comes to pvp this spell can be dismissed quickly I actually thought it's useless at first but oh boy wrong now most think this because it's very easy to dodge the sunlight sphere as it's very telegraphed and it's not the fastest thing in general but remember the poised weapon arc we were talking about before the plan is to actually trade with people while using this since it's faster than lightning steak it is the best option for training you can trade with an ultra great sword user and you will still win the trade due to the ridiculous damage you can inflict with this there are other ways to it people successfully with this spell but we will talk about it in a bit the second spell you will be looking at is the lightning steak it can be found on smouldering lake after defeating the Karthus and war I really like the description of the spell it says this tale describes the lost practices of ancient dragon slayers who found that in order to fierce dragon scale lightning should not be hurled as a bold but rather be thrust as a stake directly into the dragon's hide to be truly effective pretty cool if you ask me what our purpose of using this spell is to pierce a new [ __ ] to other players who get busted by the spell this spell is one of the most important miracles for this build especially for pvp and PVE can do tremendous damage it's damage actually surpasses the sunlight spear if it gets lower feel to your opponent the thing is it only works at Short ranges unlike the sunlight sphere and since it's pretty slow to cast you will always want to use the poise weapon art with it or you will find yourself getting stun locked out of it every time you try to use it so using it with chimes is not an option this spell gives you like a buffer zone around you any time somebody comes close to you starts timing this with a weapon art and nobody will be ever able to trade with you and even if they did you will always come on top as long as you have sufficient HP the damage on this thing is crazy as it can sometimes outright one-shop some people of course don't over span this you want to be smart and force people to come close to you so you can hit people with it and in order to do this you will need other utility spells which we will discuss in a bit another thing that makes this spell really good in PvP is how powerful it is against people who use tiers of denial since it has an e OE damage even if they have fears of denial it won't matter they will still die so the lightning steak is a very important spell that every miracle user should have especially in PvP the third miracle is lightning storm another must equip spell for miracle users it can be acquired by killing the nameless king than offering his soul to love the pill Firelink shrine then I love the description of the spell as it says miracle of the nameless king I lied to the ancient dragons calls forth furious bolt of lightning once a slayer of dragons the former king and war God tamed the storm Drake on which he led a lifetime of battle this miracle is likely a tale of their bottom what a relationship they had the first born of the storm Drake I wonder how it feels to have a storm Drake / dragon as your companion I guess we'll never know while going back to the lightning storm similar to sunlight spear a lot of people dismiss this spell as useless but they cannot be more wrong the area this spell covers is mind-boggling it may have the biggest AoE attack in the game what truly makes this felt awesome is its application PvP since you can cast it with a poise weapon art you won't worry of people attacking you since you almost never get staggered and the casts speed is kind of slow but once it hits your opponent you can follow up with the sunlights fear of the targets far or lightning snake if the target is close most of the time the follow-up spell can be guaranteed especially the lightning storm to sunlight spear but sometimes staggering works and weird ways and sometimes they can escape the damage is pretty high on the spell and it can hit multiple times the same target which can sometimes outright kill them this can be also against huge bosses where you can hit the multiple times resulting in huge damage so this spell really helps help your other spells especially the ones we mentioned before but the biggest problem with this spell is that it requires two attunement slots instead of one making it more difficult to incorporate with a build the dark moon ring can be the remedy for this so those are the main spells you should be using as a faith-filled they do tremendous damage work in conjunction with each other and all are focused on the power of lightning now let's look at other less important spells but are still useful nonetheless first spell is wrath of the gods a recurring spell throughout the whole series it used to be one of the best spells in both Dark Souls 1 and 2 but they kind of toned it down here in Dark Souls 3 it deals very high damage on a fully pledged faith bills but the problem with it is two things first it used off to adamant slots which is very bad already and secondly it's cast speed is very slow it's almost compulsory to use a sage ring with this or you will find yourself dying before you even cast don't get me wrong though the terms of damage this spell is fantastic but you already have many spells to it too so it's very difficult to attune this one but if you know how to constantly hit stuff with this thing then go with it and equip it the second spell is divine pillars of life the Lord behind this spell is very significant in this game when the game was first released it was totally useless as the damage and Caspi were utter crap but they did buff it recently and I think it's very viable now it's your best bet for an AoE spell for miracles and in a way it can replace wrath of the God since it only needs one atonement slots instead of two I found it to be most useful after you backstab or parry someone as they won't have enough time to flee if you cast it while they are recovering from a critical attack third and final damaging miracle is door he is knowing this is a long-range attack that releases swarms of insects superior target it causes massive bleed to your opponent it's actually so powerful that you can bleed some players and even some bosses with just one hit if you are using a bleed weapon with the faith build this spell can be very useful and it's a great way to integrate faith builds with bleed builds now before I show you the different faith builds let me just give you my honest opinion on faith builds in general in PvP they can be dangerous when you use the spells I mentioned before but due to the large amount of requirements for different spells and the lack of variety with the damaging spells it's very difficult to optimize on a 120 meter level build you have to be really familiar with the game to find success with it in PvP but the thing is faith builds have the best support spells by far you have sacred altar deep protection for increased damage and defense for you and other white phantoms you have the lightning moonlight and dark blade buffs which are arguably the best weapon box in the game you also have tears of denial which makes the game much easier and it basically gives you an extra life in case you die moreover you have like 6 different healing spells that can really help you in PvE and you also have great magic barrier which basically shuts down any magic damage you receive the point I'm trying to make is that faith builds excel at PvE and can make the game much much easier you can think of it as a support class the thing I'm hoping for is to have new damaging miracles in the DLC and if that is the case faith builds my go from being average in terms of damage dealing to being the best spell casting build why I say that I say that because of the poise weapon art on the talismans which takes casting to the next level especially in PvP best way to go about this build the PvP is to have some pyromancies so having a bit more intelligence will help a lot with 60 faith and 30 intelligence you almost get the best damage out of your fireman sees you need pyromancies because they have spells they can force your opponent's into rolling like a monkey which is a good thing since you want to try your best to put your opponent in a bad position so you can hit them with your miracles the best spell for that is the black serpent keep using it so you can force people into coming close to you and then unleash your miracles on them another plus you get from this is that you can actually use a miracle with a poise weapon heart and then straightaway use a pyro spell and you will still have the voice buff from the talisman thus you cannot be staggered weapon art with lightning steak or sunlight sphere to sacred flame works wonders for example so now let me show you the different faith builds you can do in this game the first build is a pure faith build the point of it is to have the highest damage possible with your miracles it mostly works for PvE but you can also use it for PvP if you mastered miracle casting the second build is a support build and it's best when you are co-opting it uses different buffs to increase your defenses and damage it has some damage spells just in case the third build is a weapon buff build this build primarily focuses on weapon buffs with dexterity weapons this makes you very dangerous in melee style combat the fourth and final build is the PvP build this is a competitive PvP build it has pyromancies and miracles to maximize chances of inflicting high damage on your opponent you guys know that I try my best to present the best bills and strategies possible I was hesitant about faith built at the beginning and it took one month of experimentation in order to be confident enough to share this so I hope you appreciate it and understand why this took much longer than expected I have already done a guide for pyromancies and sorceries before so please make sure to check them out and if you enjoyed the video
