Mid-game strength build: greatsword, Claw Talisman, War Cry, 40–50 strength

Nothing fancy. Greatsword, Claw Talisman, War Cry ash. 18 dexterity is enough for the requirements. Put the rest into strength.

In Crumbling Farum Azula the Roar Medallion pushes it further. I only topped up runes with the trainer and fought bosses myself. That stays interesting, and the save does not go crooked.

This build is weak against Malenia. Bleed is better there.
