Elden Ring- Godwyn's Faithful | Death Knight's Longhaft Axe Build

For this Build: This Elden Ring build is a Strength/Faith hybrid build centered around the Death Knight's Longhaft Axe and Dragon Cult Incantations, particularly one of its newest additions, Knight's Lightning Spear. To start with my weapon of choice, the Death Knight's Longhaft Axe shares the same light attack chain as most Greataxes in the game, but its heavy attack is a wide sweeping attack unique to this weapon, the Axe of Godrick and the Crescent Moon Axe. The Unique Skill on this weapon, Blinkbolt: Long-haft Axe is particularly interesting: it's a great gap closer, has i-frames when you turn into Lightning (think of it like a delayed medium roll) and has a follow-up attack that deals good stance damage and has hyperarmor when you're in the air. Due to its more lengthy animation, I mainly use it situationally. Lastly, about the Death's Knight's Longhaft Axe, it has a B scaling (scaling value: 99) in Strength and a D scaling (scaling value: 54) in Faith, hence why my stats are evenly split in both Strength and Faith. Dragon Cult incantations act as this build's ranged attacks with Knight's Lightning Spear as my main cast as it deals formidable Lightning damage, great stance damage and is buffed by the pieces of the Death Knight set I'm wearing as well as the Gravel Stone Seal, Lightning Scorpion, Flock's Canvas and Lightning Shrouding Cracked Tear. Lightning Spear and Ancient Dragons' Lightning Strike act as additional offensive options when it comes to spells. This build doesn't have a specific strategy when it comes to battle as it is suitable in both melee and ranged attacks; the main thing is being adaptable. Need to fight up close? Blinkbolt: Long-haft Axe can close the distance and the natural moveset of the DKLA can hold up well. Want to focus on stance breaks? Use heavy attacks and Blinkbolt upclose and Knight's Lightning Spear at range. Want to deal high Lightning damage? Use Knight's Lightning Spear and Ancient Dragons' Lightning Strike. The beauty of this build is how much it can do.
