10 Character Builds That BROKE Video Games - Commenter Edition

1. GiantDad - Dark Souls

GiantDad wasn’t mentioned a lot in the comments of our last list but those of you who did mention it were very passionate about this build so infamous it launched a meme.

Also known as The Legend, this build was a real shortcut to losing friends in PvP.

While Souls games are riddled with game-breaking builds, this particular one takes minmaxing to the extreme. Before it was nerfed to a shadow of its former self, the build was especially popular with griefers as the game’s PvP meta is Soul Level 125 and this build only required 99 levels to perfect leaving you with 26 more points to play with. Once you pull it off you’ll have the best movement speed, quickest roll, and have enormous health and stamina. Equip the Chaos Zweihander and you’ll stun lock anybody in your wake ensuring your victory and, like I said, the speedy dissolution of your established and potential friendships with other Souls players.

If you’re not a blocking fan, this is the game-breaking build for you, roll and smash to your heart’s content.
