Something of a confession of mine, I've invested way less time into Dark Souls III than I have in Elden Ring. When I originally played Dark Souls III, I was still getting into Souls-likes in general so when I played Dark Souls III, I played through it a couple of times and moved on and didn't really test the possibilities of lore-inspired build and build variety. So for this showcase, I made a build inspired by one of the more underrated bosses of Dark Souls III: The Dragonslayer Armour.

For this build: This is a Strength build centered around the Dragonslayer Greataxe and its weapon skill: Falling Bolt to deal impressive damage to bosses while powering through attacks with ease. To begin, the Greataxe moveset is a bit more deliberate than most weapons in Dark Souls III and does require commitment, however, it deals decent stagger damage and should feel right at home for fans of Bloodborne's Kirkhammer or Elden Ring's Great Omenkiller Cleaver. Next, Falling Bolt is THE weapon skill. Falling Bolt hits like an absolute truck and frankly feels like it has that Elden Ring weapon skill power scaling. On top of that, it does have hyperarmor during its animation so at a certain, you won't be interrupted while you bring down the power of Zeus himself upon your foes. And that's pretty much it as a whole. Nothing else complicated. This build is also relatively tanky, so there is no need to play perfectly, which is good because I'll be the first to admit I'm nowhere near as good at Dark Souls III as I am Elden Ring haha.
