Intelligence or Faith (optional): For adding utility spells or buffs enhancing stealth and damage.

A typical stat spread for a balanced build might look like this by mid to late game:

Dexterity: 40+

Endurance: 20+

Vigor: 20

Intelligence/Faith: 10-15 (optional)

Weapons: The Heart of Nightreign
The Signature Katana: Rivers of Blood
The Nightreign Executor’s weapon of choice is often a katana renowned for its swift strikes and bleed buildup. Rivers of Blood stands out for its unique skill — Corpse Piler — a flurry of fiery slashes that apply heavy bleed stacks rapidly.

Why Rivers of Blood? Its bleed effect exploits enemies’ vulnerability to damage-over-time effects. Combined with Dexterity scaling, it turns quick attacks into devastating bursts.

Skill Synergy: Corpse Piler pairs perfectly with Elden Ring Runes buy quick dodges and positional attacks, allowing you to inflict massive damage while evading retaliation.
