Overview
Daniel demonstrates a Backhand Blades blood build focusing on high mobility, the Blind Spot skill, and rapid blood loss against armored enemies.
The build employs the Rakshasa Armor Set, Golden Chicken Helmet, blood-loss and stamina-boosting talismans, and a Wondrous Physick featuring Strength Knot and Bloodsucking Cracked Tears.
Testing alternative affinities like Blood and Flame Art on Blind Spot reveals potent damage, enemy staggering, and a reliance on FP to deal substantial damage.
Themes
Backhand Blades combat mechanics and tactics using the Blind Spot skill to maneuver around shields, stagger targets, and build up bleed.
Equipment recommendations including Rakshasa Armor, Golden Chicken Helmet, Lord of Blood's Exaltation, Blade of Mercy, Green Turtle Talisman, Crusade Insignia, and specific Wondrous Physick tears.
Performance and trade-offs across affinities, FP dependence for Blind Spot damage, and the continuous health drain from the Bloodsucking Flask.
Developments
Daniel tests Blood and Flame Art affinities on Blind Spot against Black Knights.
Daniel dies after depleting stamina during a combat engagement with a large enemy.
Daniel dies as the Bloodsucking Flask fully drains remaining health.
Uncertainties & gaps
The reason the standard affinity lacked blood buildup despite anticipated blood loss remains unresolved.
Whether blood loss triggers under the Flame Art affinity remains unverified because enemies died in two hits.
