How to Play the Crimson Duelist Build
The way this Build works is that you'll buff yourself with Seppuku and use the unique R2 attack of Rogier's Rapier that hits twice to one shot most enemies, triggering blood loss with nearly every R2 attack, boosting your Attack Power from White Mask and Lord of Blood's Exultation, as well as Winged Sword Insignia and Millicent's Prosthesis. This gives you very high Attack Rating very quickly, and is easy to maintain since you can one shot most every enemy quickly.
