Conquering the Colosseum: How to Earn Great-Jar's Arsenal in Elden Ring

Today, I want to delve into the Lionheart build in Bless Unleashed. This build shares similarities with the Crescent Moon build, but with a few tweaks. Now, some players prefer to include HP in their Lionheart build, believing it helps them stay alive while dealing significant DPS. However, I beg to differ. In my opinion, that's not how this build should be approached.
Let's start by discussing the gear for the Lionheart build. The key piece you'll want is the Legacy Item, Lion, which unfortunately doesn't exist on the PC version. For PC players, using double crit damage shoulders will have to suffice. If you manage to find or obtain the Shadow Shin shoulder guards, which offer a 7.7% defense down, it would be highly beneficial. Another important item is the belt, which grants additional buffs.
To optimize your build, you'll need a specific combination of accessories. The seeking necklace is ideal, as it provides three sub-stats. Pair it with the resentful ring, which offers two sub-stats. The seeking necklace allows you to have a cool double sub-stat, such as a 5% debuff, 22% crit damage, and the third one can be HP. However, you'll need to pair this necklace with the seeking ring, which unfortunately lacks any significant sub-stats as the necklace does.
To sum up, prioritize the seeking necklace and complement it with the resentful ring. This combination provides the most value to your team by giving you double defense down. With this build, you can apply two debuffs on the boss simultaneously, and with the addition of the DD shoulders, you'll eventually have a third debuff. So, you can effectively have four debuffs on the boss, significantly increasing your damage output.
Now let's discuss the damage potential of the Lionheart build. With my current setup, I have a 27% crit rate and 364% crit damage. However, I would personally go for a more crit rate, even though I'm using the double defense down option. It's worth mentioning that you can also opt for the Fierce Hawk ring, which would give you a 40% crit rate but sacrifice the double defense down.
During combat, you'll notice that the damage output can be quite impressive. I can deal critical hits of up to 417,000 damage without using any panaceas, elixirs, or beef curry. The crit damage can reach even higher values, such as 600,000 to 650,000. When you consider that you can unleash a devastating attack like Erupting Arrow every 10 seconds, these numbers add up quickly. In a span of 40 seconds, you could potentially deal 6 million in damage, making it a significant contribution against bosses with substantial health pools.
Additionally, you can explore alternative builds if you don't have access to the seeking necklace. In this case, you can opt for a more yellow or orange-oriented build, reverting to the Fierce Hawk ring. This alternative build sacrifices the double defense down for a whopping 47% crit rate and 400% crit damage. While the damage output isn't as high as the previous build, it's still viable.
The Lionheart Ranger is a formidable class that often goes unnoticed and underappreciated. Its damage potential is impressive, and when built correctly, it can significantly contribute to clearing content efficiently. As a support role, you'll still aid your team while dealing substantial damage.
In conclusion, the Lionheart build in Bless Unleashed offers incredible damage potential. Whether you choose the double defense down or the Fierce Hawk ring option, both have their merits. It's recommended to experiment with your build and find what works best for you. Remember to upgrade your gear by Bless Unleashed StarSeeds, prioritize the seeking necklace, and maximize your top and bottom blessings. With the right setup, the Lionheart Ranger can become a force to be reckoned with. Stay blessed and enjoy your adventures in Bless Unleashed!
