I feel it is important to mention here that in order to maximize this builds effectiveness, you must be ok with your character looking like a weird zombie. If you don't know how to make your charactar Hollow, look up Yuria/Yoels questline.

Another new mechanic introduced in DS3 is character hollowing. You can acquire a Hollow gem in Farron Keep and you can acquire the coal in Irithyll Dungeon. In order to infuse your weapon with Hollow, you need a Hollow Gem as well as the Profaned Coal. THE BASICS_ĭark Souls 3 introduced a new upgrade path called Hollow.

If you already know how the hollow infusion works, you can skip the next section. (heres the guide: hit r1 a lot) For the purpose of simplicity, I will assume that you are playing a deprived, but everything still applies to every starting class. This is because it is the most over-powered straight sword and no one should require a guide to use it. I will not be referencing Anri's Straight Sword, even though that sword scales with luck. Note that when I say 'viable' I am referring to using a luck build for PvP at SL 120, as I believe that anything is viable for PvE. I plan to convince you by the end of this post that Luck builds are completely viable, and even better than non-luck builds with the same weapon in a lot of cases. This guide is aimed at new players who may have never heard of luck scaling, as well as veterans who dont feel like experimenting in untreaded waters.

I see a lot of people on here who are both misinformed on how to best utilize a luck build and misinforming others on the matter. I have had success with them in both PvP and PvE, and have compared them extensively to other infusions on the same weapon. Hey everyone, before I start this guide I just want to say that I have sunk 250+ hours in to my luck characters and I have been using hollow weapons since release.
