Decided to do the 3 Aragami bosses in CV with a pure caster build without taking damage. Definitely the most fun build in CV for me personally, just like sorcerer is my favourite in DS games. Also there's fucking ice turrets! Hell yeah!

0:00 Frozen Empress
3:31 Hellfire Knight
9:49 Lord of Thunder

If you're unfamiliar, the melee weapon I'm hitting the enemies with barely deals any damage and instead is used for its extremely high absorption rate, so most of the damage comes from my gifts, pretty much making it a "pure" caster. I guess you could try stacking up on ichor refilling consumables and using more ichor gifts, but I wanted to meet the "no items" condition of the Horror Hunting Trials as well and a self-sustaining build that isn't crippled by constantly having to waste lots of time regaining ichor is also just more fun.

Anyway, if I had to rank the bosses in difficulty, I'd put them in the same order they are in the video. Frozen Empress being the easiest, then Hellfire Knight and Lord of Thunder the most difficult. HK is definitely the most fun to fight out of the 3 though, since the fight takes much longer and it's also a fairer fight in a no-hit run. Both FE and LoT have attacks that are pretty cheap, they don't deal a lot of damage, so they're fine during regular kills, but they're really unreliable to dodge. The shock carpet attack of LoT that he does after a backflip is just a massive pain in the ass to deal with. Basically just spam rolls and hope you don't roll into it, because you can't see where it is anyway due to the camera movement. FE's crystals are also kinda annoying if the blue one gets to summon his ice pillars, but thankfully Dancing Fireblade exists to deal with them. HK does have the homing firestorm attack which I was lucky not having to deal with during this fight, but it's managable if you run away from the boss, so it's mostly just annoying but it can still fuck you over if you have to dodge 2 attacks at the same time.

I still like all 3 bosses though, I think it's really cool that they managed to make Hannibal, Marduk and Dyaus Pita good fights in both a Monster Hunter-like and a Souls-like.

Oh, I also did something very similar to this a few months ago, except it wasn't at +10 difficulty but therefore with a level 100 character. I wasn't using an optimized build though and the video quality also kinda sucks. You can check it out if you want to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iWeplgo96cY
