Lords of the Fallen Death Knight Build - Umbral Wither Build Guide

in this Lords of the Fallen video I'm going to be showing you my death knight build this is a midgame build that focuses on using Inferno and Radiance and using a catalyst that casts umbrell magic as well as does wither damage and physical damage so let's take a look at the sword we're using for this build we're using rosan sword this is a long sword so it's somewhere between a short sword and a grand sword swings kind of in the middle in terms of attack speed does decent damage half of its damage is physical half of its wither has some decent requirements in strength and Agility Radiance and Inferno in order to use and scales with all four attributes it also does frostbite build up on each swing frostbite sort of builds up until it triggers like a damage explosion and also reduces the target's stamina by half this is particularly good if you're fighting another player although this is not a PVP oriented build specifically but if you happen to get invaded that's really good against them now some people might be wondering like why wither damage when you look at enemies and you hit them with wither damage you'll see their bar goes white where you're doing the Wither damage and then you need to connect again in order to rip off that wither health just like it would happen if it was happening to you you might think that's extra steps and in some cases you might be right but what wither damage is really good at doing is dealing with umbrell enemies when you're in umbrell the umbral realm and you're fighting the enemies that only appear in the umbrell realm most of them are weak to wither damage which are normally resistant to just about every other type of damage so this is really really strong when you're fighting in the umbrell realm now the trick about this is that this weapon is not available until like probably a good 10 hours or so into the game so you're going to have to use something else in the meantime I recommend using any weapon that has high base damage that doesn't have great scaling unless it's Inferno or Radiance scaling just because it's hard to find any other weapon earlier on in the game that scales decently with Inferno and Radiance so it kind of doesn't matter too much what weapon you use but the higher the base damage and the lower the scaling the more damage you're going to get out of it well you're not really putting points into like strength and Agility now for our Shield I have the pale eye Shield this one is acquired very early on in the game in pilgrims Purge it has requirements of Radiance and Inferno which is great cuz that's what we're focusing on for this build and I've socketed this with two ruins one of these you get in the sunless SCH that basically give you Mana regeneration over time and the other one gives you health regeneration over time so you're going to gain back Mana which is great cuz you're constantly using spells with this build and you're also going to gain back some health over time so if you like take a little bit of Chip damage here and there not the end of the world now for the Catalyst that I'm using for this build I'm actually using the one that you can buy from wo at the beginning charma Fortune site it has decent spell power has four spell slots and it's a little ways into the game before you can gain another one of these so by the time you do get another one you're probably going to have your you know this one upgraded quite a ways so I don't see a lot of point in switching at that point four slots is a good amount anyway and for spells I'm using umbrell orb this is kind of your go-to range spell every magic type has like a predominant like cheap range spell this is umbrell and it's really good at like you know dealing with pesky ranged enemies that you just can't reach and it's a nice to have as an option and and then I have umil weapon this further Buffs your weapon with you know more damage particularly wither damage so when you hit enemies or other players you're going to be dealing more damage this is a really good buff early on in the game you might substitute this for poison weapon in order to do poison buildup this is much better on like a boss or something like that than regular enemies but umbral weapon is definitely what you want to use for trash you might sub this out for poison weapon when you're fighting bosses and then I have Vladimir's Javelin this is an umbrell spell that you get from defeating the hush Saint and buying it from mohu from his remembrance this is kind of like a range spell that does like an AOE on impact it's really nice for dealing with groups of enemies we're doing like high damage to a ranged enemy just trying to pick them off real quick highly recommend this one if you can get it and then I also really like umbrell guardian and what this does is it summons like a giant eye that kind of like Falls you around for like 20 or 30 seconds it just constantly does wither damage to enemies that are nearby can even deal with them a much further distance than you would think but it's really good when you're fighting tough enemies or a group of enemies cuz it can kind of help thin them out a bit or deal damage to them while you're fighting and just kind of help soften them up for you the Armor that I'm using for this build is the Angel of the Void set you can find this not too far into the game in the F area in a chest in the umbrell realm and it's really awesome looking you look kind of like Skeletor fits the Death Knight theme has decent protection the armor that you use for this build is not like particularly important you know you can use whatever you want if you want to go fashion or you want to go whatever obviously you're going to be trying not to get hit as much as possible but I really like this for the theme of this build and then for necklace I'm using the faceless carving this increases your wither damage and wither defense you really want to crank that wither damage up and lean into it when you're fighting against enemies so you can rip off huge chunks of Health at the same time I also have the mine owners ring here this increases Max stamina and stamina regeneration if you look at our stats you'll notice we don't have a ton of endurance for this build and that's kind of a weak spot at this point in the game so getting more stamina so we can swing and block more and Dodge more and getting that stamina regeneration back quickly is really important because we don't have a high endurance stat and then I'm also using ring of knights fire which further boosts fire damage and wither damage again we're focusing kind of on wither damage for this build you could use something else that boosts physical damage or just damage in general with this build so when you're taking a look at like what starting class to play this build with the putrid child would be ideal so if you're playing like you know new game and you have this unlocked already putri child is perfect for their stat distribution but if you're playing for your first playr and you don't have that you probably want to take either the py cultist class or the orian preacher to have high starting Radiance or high starting Inferno it's not super important which class you select though because most classes have like a pretty even stat distribution and you'll notice we need 13 strength and 13 agility just to meet the weapon requirement of the weapon we're using so you can probably do this with just about any class so generally the strategy that I employ with this build is kind of similar to how I play my Paladin build except obviously we have different Buffs and different spells you're going to want to try and keep umal weapon up all the time this is something that you want to just buff your damage with constantly so that you hit as hard as possible and you're just going to want to like whenever you run out of this you're going to want to like rebuff with it basically and because you have Mana regeneration on your Shield you should be back at full Mana every time you cast this so you never really have a reason not to cast this and as I mentioned early on you'll have poison weapon for this you might want to use poison weapon on specific bosses that can be poisoned cuz poison actually ticks kind of hard in this game and you'll use umbrella orb as your you know your range like if an enemy is too far away you can't get to them you'll you'll use that to get them and again your Mana is going to regenerate which is great you might have to replenish it manually using Mana Stone sometimes that's great for picking off enemies in a distance one thing I really like about umbral orb too is it pierces its first Target so it can go like in a line through a bunch of enemies so we get like an long hallway or something it works really well so talking a bit about our stat distribution you'll notice we have 13 strength 13 agility this is to meet the requirements of the weapon that we're using and also if you wanted to use a different shield theoretically you could CU you'll have 13 strength which is you know decent requirement for a lot of Shields and the weapon itself scales with strength and Agility as well so at some point you could increase these in order to get more damage we have endurance only at 13 and the reason that it's so low for this build is cu we have so many things we need points in like you need Vitality you're playing a melee build first and kind of a range build second with this build so you are going to get hit periodically and if you have a low Health pool you're going to die real fast and then we have 22 points in Radiance and Inferno and this is to meet the requirements for umbral guardian and there will be more spells umbrell spells that you'll want that'll have at least this much so that's why we have 20 and 22 there but eventually you're going to want to increase these obviously it will not only increase the damage with your weapon since your weapon scales with these will also increase the damage of your spells so you really have like a lot of room to grow with this build and this build would probably be phenomenal in like a new game plus run where you know you can take your Radiance and Inferno up to 40 over the course of new game and then probably crank your strength agility endurance up in New Game Plus to get even more damage out of your weapon or even heavier armor and have more stamina and obviously there are other spells that you can use with this build besides besides the ones that I recommended these are the ones that I just find good early on in the game there are other spells you can get from remembrances and stuff like that and I've tried some of them they just didn't work that great for me and obviously past this point in the game this is kind of the middle of the game there will be more umbrell spells I suggest that you try these and see if they incorporate into your play style but you're definitely going to want umbrell orb and umbrell weapon minimally just to have a weapon buff and a range cheap option the other two spells you would probably be the ones you'd consider sing out for something else so that wraps up the death knight build this build is a ton of fun to play I've been invaded a couple times using this build and it absolutely owns in PvP because people are not prepared for the frostbite which is really really effective getting burst damage particularly on players reducing their stamina and they are not prepared for the Wither damage and you are quite tanky with this build and have a lot of ranged options as well just a fun build to play in general as always if you have tips for other players leave them in the comments if you have questions leave them there as well we are going to be doing some more builds I have a ranged build I believe coming next like a primarily bow build coming or maybe even a throne a to see how that pans out and I am working on some other builds as well if there's something that you guys want to see let me know in the [Music] [Music] comments
