Many players will opt into a melee playstyle to defeat their enemies by wielding swords, spears, axes, and more. These choices ultimately combine with stat distribution, infusions, buffs, and weapon upgrades to form what we like to call “builds”. Aside from the most hardcore players, equipment choice will greatly affect your Dark Souls 3 experience.įortunately the game gives us lots of gear to mix and match according to our preferences.
