Best Crusader Gear

Weapon - Gargoyle's Greatsword

You can change the ash of war on this weapon which allows you to use a lot of good ash awards, it allows you some flexibility as well, the one you will use Sword Dance, you could use different ones if you'd like, but we find this one to be particularly effective for this build, additionally, because you can change the ash of war, you can go back and forth between the sacred, and flame art affinities allowing you to change the supplementary damage from holy to fire and back again depending on what the enemy you're facing is resistant to, there are a lot of enemies late in the game that is resistant to holy damage so being able to swap it back and forth from holy to fire will make you more effective in those scenarios where if you're playing a weapon that you can't change it and it's only holy damage you will struggle against certain enemies or bosses.

Secondly, it has b scaling in faith at max level and it's the only great sword in the game that has B scaling in faith that you can change the ash of war on making it a particularly good choice for this build, this weapon attacks pretty quickly compared to some other weapon types and the block counter on it is not as long as some weapons, it's not as fast as the straight sword but it does have more reach allowing you to connect a lot more frequently the reason that you chose sword dance for this build is that it has a very low FP cost at 6 FP it gives you two hits for 6 FP and then if you do the third hit it's another 6 FP for a total of 12. You don't always have to use that third one if you don't want but this is very efficient on the FP side of things, additionally, the Gargoyle's Greatsword doesn't have an extremely long reach compared to some other weapons-making.

Shield - Brass Shield

No surprise here if you've played either the paladin build or the templar build, this is typically, the shield you're going to be using. and the reason for that here is that it requires 16 strength we have 18 only in this build so there aren't too many great shields that you can use at 18 strength, and we don't think any of them are better than the Brass Shield really when it comes down to it so we lit on this one fully upgraded the guard boost on this shield is 69 allowing you to use Barricade Shield and still take no stamina damage when blocking Barricade Shield has been nerfed since the last time we did one of these builds so it's a lot more difficult to use, however, it is still very usable with this setup and you just have to be a bit better with it in order when to use it you can't spam it as much as you used to be able to do and just you know like wait for something to attack you and then you know counter attack instead you have to be a little bit more precise about when you use it but it's still very good in this build.

Seal - Erdtree Seal

This seal gives you 353 incantation scaling at 80 faith, if you're using a pure faith build, if you're going for very high faith and it's extremely important that you use high faith if you're using the seal as well.

Armor - Haligtree Knight Helm

Though as this increases your faith, this will give you a couple points of faith that you can then take out of points for this build and put into something else, it kind of fits the theme for a templar paladin style build anyway otherwise you can pretty much use whatever you want just as long as you can medium roll you're not gonna be like tons and tons of endurance into this build.

Armor - Erdtree Surcoat

Gauntlet - Gauntlets

Leg Armor - Chain Leggings
