Elden Ring- Twin Moon Knight | Rellana's Twin Blades Build

For this Build: This Elden Ring Build is a Intelligence/Faith (mostly) hybrid build centered around Rellana's Twin Blades, the only paired Light Greatsword introduced in Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree. Rellana's Twin Blades have the most diverse moveset among the Light Greatswords in Elden Ring simply by virtue of how many different attacks it is capable of. When in its paired form, Rellana's Twin Blades has access to the Light Greatsword powerstance, the Light Greatsword's (right hand) heavy attacks and the Straight Sword's (left hand) light attacks; the latter two being able to smoothly be incorporated into powerstance combos. This gives the Rellana's Twin Blades a very high ceiling of all the possible combos it can use and makes it very useful at ramping up successive hits. The drawback being that a lot of the attack animations are relatively lengthy and consume a lot of stamina. What is worth mentioning is the power of your basic attack combos scale primarily with Strength and Dexterity as both Swords benefit from these stats. The Right Hand Light Greatsword deals physical and magic damage whereas the Left Hand Straight Sword deals physical and fire damage. The unique skill of Rellana's Twin Blades is Moon-and-Fire Stance, a weapon skill where the player enters a ready stance. From there, the player can use either the light attack version, a magic-based attack where the Twin Blade lanuches two magic projectiles and can have up to two follow-ups or the heavy attack version, a fire-based attack where the player spins around, unleashing a vortex of fire and erupting flame pillars around them. Moon and Fire Stance can be buffed by both Shard of Alexander and Rellana's Cameo leading to some very impressive damage. Unfortunately, Moon and Fire Stance scales with Intelligence (light attack version) and Faith (heavy attack version) making this weapon a nightmare for mix-maxxers. The Rellana's has C scaling across Strength, Dexterity, Intelligence and Faith (scaling values of 66 for Strength and Dexterity and 61 for Intelligence and Faith) but the problem rests with in order to have good base combo damage, you have to spec into Strength and Dexterity but in order to have good weapon skill damage, which is this weapon's real bread and butter, you have to spec into Intelligence and Faith. So, if the stat spread seems spread a bit thin and seems a little janky compared to my usual set-ups, it's because I was trying to showcase all this weapon could do with limited levels. I imagine the Rellana's Twin Blades would really shine on an uncapped build where levels don't matter, however, I can't help but find this weapon a bit underwhelming compared to the Milady and Leda's Sword. Regardless, Rellana's Twin Blades is still a relatively solid weapon and a pretty unique style of playing. This build's main strategies are centered around successive hit combo strings and heavy use of Moon and Fire Stance to overwhelm enemies with style. That in mind, results may vary. When fighting bosses that give big openings, this weapon slays. When they don't... it can feel woefully mid, which sucks because they are neat weapons. Would have deeply preferred these weapons with D/D scaling in Strength and Dexterity and A scaling in Intelligence and Faith.
