Talk:Dragon Slayer Ornstein and Executioner Smough/@comment-25247371-20140806014054/@comment-25247371-20140808024151

I'm using the same sword, +4. Smough falls apart like wet 1-ply toilet paper. Super Orns is actually a threat. Solaire isn't great at drawing his aggro and he's not the best at tanking either. My build is not particularly meant to take hits, I get killed pretty quick if I'm the center of attention if they can actually wear down my stamina first (SKS is very, very stable, practically same stability as a greatshield at +4), but the lightning is an issue, even with my all-around fairly resistant and functional Fashion Souls light armor. The problem with summoning phantoms is

A.) I get invaded by a chickenhawk or super poise build at the door B.) It fails almost every time.

I'm at L66 if you want to drop a summon, though.
