Ghostblade build is a quality build that relies on a Death's Poker to deal with normal attacks to its enemies and even burst down bosses with its unique skill, the Ghostflame Ignition. Not only does this skill do heavy damage to targets, but it also builds up Frostbite leading to more possible damage. Paired up with Terra Magica Sorcery which further bolsters the skill's potency.

The way how this build behaves is the user will focus on using the Ghostflame Ignition as the main damage dealer to enemies. This skill can be utilized in two different ways, first after pressing R2, quickly pressing R1 will let the user cast a fire trail that continuously deals damage to enemies. The R1 variant of this skill is a great opener in boss fights or any other enemies since the target tries to close its distance to the user, it will already suffer damage over time from the flame trail and also build Frostbite.

The R2 variant of the skill will allow the user to cast an explosion that can affect nearby enemies and deal high damage to bosses. If timed correctly, the user casts the flame trail first and then sets up the R2 skill variant. Bosses will suffer from the skill's direct damage, flame trail damage over time, and Frostbite.

This build explores the following talismans, the Warrior Jar Shard or Shard of Alexander for further damage increase overall, Magic Scorpion Charm for even more damage since the Ghostflame Ignition scales purely with Intelligence, Dragoncrest Greatshield to offset the Magic Scorpion Charm 10% physical damage taken increase and lastly, Curved Sword Talisman to increase the guard counter damage of this build.

On the other hand, since the user is provided with a shield, guard counters are a suggested strategy when clearing regular enemies or when progressing in a dungeon. The allocated Strength and Dexterity will help the Ghostblade deal a decent amount of damage when performing regular attacks especially when conserving FP in the early stages of the build.
