Just beat the game on my second playthrough with my bleed character. It was a bit hit & miss. Certain bosses it absolutely wrecked such as the Godskin Duo, Radahn & heck it even made Fire Giant not take a million years but you certainly had to have work arounds for the bleed immune bosses: the final bosses being the most prominent. Thankfully, Rivers of Blood has pretty high damage weapon arte, which carried me through these sections.

If I did it again, I would've probably used swords instead of daggers. The damage just wasn't there for the daggers against the bleed resistant bosses & it is hard to wiff punish given that your range is very short. But it is insanely fun filling that bleed meter regardless. Mostly leveled arcane as my damage stat since from 10 to 50 gave be about a 50% increase in bleed speed. Since dagger damage is pathetic anyways, I prioritized bleed, but if I were going swords I probably would've gone dex for the base damage. Fun build though, although I think I am Eldened out for now. Probably will play something else.
