Overview
Daniel showcases a two-handed Arcane build highlighting configurations for the Bloodfiend's Arm and the Ancient Meteoric Ore Greatsword.
The Bloodfiend's Arm configuration utilizes Occult and Blood affinities, Rakshasa armor, specific talismans, and Ashes of War including Royal Knight's Resolve, Lion's Claw, and Cragblade to secure substantial burst damage, rapid staggers, and swift status procs.
The Ancient Meteoric Ore Greatsword setup yields high thrust and explosive magic damage supported by Godfrey Icon and Shard of Alexander, despite significant FP costs, though Daniel killed an NPC and missed a magic-boosting talisman.
