Fire Damage Weapon with Blood Loss Passive

Inquisitor's Girandole has two damage types on top of its Bleed buildup passive effect. Note that blood loss is percentage-based damage relative to the enemy's max HP. The talisman Lord of Blood's Exultation and headwear White Mask are good complimentary equipment that will increase the damage of your physical attacks when Bleed is applied to either you or enemies.

It can also deal Fire damage making it a good weapon against enemies or bosses with low Fire resistance. The Fire Scorpion Charm can increase the damage of your attacks but will lower your damage negation.

Weapon Skill can Break Guard

This weapon cannot be infused with Ashes of War and is equipped with Charge Forth weapon skill by default which performs a charge forward ending in a powerful thrust attack. Holding the button will allow you to travel a much greater distance. The thrust attack will send enemies flying backward, downing them which leaves them open for a wake up attack. Additionally this can break an enemy's guard if they are low on Stamina when the attack connects.
