A Strength/Faith Build that focuses on the use of Block Counters and buffs to slash enemies to pieces.
The way this Build works is that you'll use Golden Vow to buff your defense and damage, and then use your Greatshield to Block enemy attacks, following up with a Block Counter when necessary, staggering enemies and often giving you a free attack if you don't kill them outright.
Sacred Blade is exceptional since patch 1.07 and using it point blank will both deal damage with the weapon and the holy wave, making it deadly up close. It also buffs your weapon for more damage and for longer, allowing you to get more out of it even after you've used it. Use this periodically to rebuff your weapon and when you need a ranged attack.
Flame, Grant Me Strength and Blessing of the Erdtree are really reserved for Boss fights where you need a little extra. It would be a hassle to buff with them both and Golden Vow constantly, not to mention they would be a huge drain on FP, so only use them when you really need them.
