🎮 Player Interview: "How I Became a Build Pro"

We spoke with Ankit "TarnishedKing" Sharma, a top-ranked Indian PvP player from Pune. His take:

"I started with a basic quality build but switched to Faith/Arc hybrid after the DLC. The Elden Ring Nightreign DLC added so many new incantations — it's a game changer. For Indian players, I recommend bleed or faith because they're forgiving and scale well into late game."
