How to Use Bloodhound Claws

Scales with Strength and Dexterity

The Bloodhound Claws scales with Strength and Dexterity but has the highest scaling bonus with the Strength attribute. It is a good weapon for players with high Strength and Bleed builds.

The talisman Starscourge Heirloom can further increase the damage dealt by your physical attacks by raising your Strength attribute.

Has a Passive Blood Loss Buildup

Attacks with this weapon will cause blood loss to build up. Filling up the meter will inflict Hemorrhage to an enemy, dealing damage that is relative to their HP. It has fast attacks that can easily apply status effects and adding either Poison or Frostbite can complement the passive of this weapon.

The talisman Lord of Blood's Exultation and headwear White Mask are good supplementary equipment that will increase the damage of your physical attacks when Hemorrhage is applied to either you or enemies.

Infusable with Ashes of War

This weapon can be infused with Ashes of War and has Bloodhound's Step as its default weapon skill. Like Quickstep, this skill allows you to perform a dash in any direction to avoid attacks but has a longer travel distance and turns the user invisible.
