Is Ludwig's Holy Blade Skill or Strength?

Ludwig's Holy Blade is a Quality weapon, meaning it scales equally well with both Strength (STR) and Skill (SKL), making a hybrid STR/SKL build (around 25/25 or 50/50) optimal for maximizing its damage, though it can also be adapted for pure Strength or Skill builds with appropriate gemming. It's highly versatile, performing well in most builds, but truly shines when investing in both attributes, especially at max upgrade where scaling becomes identical for both.

Which Weapon Is Best In Bloodborne (Tier List)

Is Bloodborne or Sekiro harder?

There's no universal answer, as it depends on player preference for combat styles; many find Sekiro harder initially due to its strict posture/deflection system and lack of build variety, demanding perfect reflexes, while others find Bloodborne harder because of its aggressive bosses, unforgiving dodge mechanics, and reliance on positioning and stats, with its chalice dungeons often cited as extremely difficult. Sekiro forces mastery of its unique rhythm, while Bloodborne offers more ways to overcome challenges (leveling, summoning) but punishes mistakes harshly, especially in its challenging DLC.

Is it better to have high or low Insight in Bloodborne?

It's a trade-off: low insight keeps you safer by boosting Frenzy resistance and Beasthood, while high insight unlocks deeper lore, reveals hidden things (like invisible Amygdalas), enables co-op, and offers richer environmental details but makes the game harder by increasing Frenzy buildup and buffing some enemies. For a standard playthrough focused on survival, keeping insight low is generally better, but for a fuller lore experience and challenges, higher insight is beneficial, especially if you manage its downsides with gear or spending it at the shop.

No, insight doesn't change the difficulty of the bosses. They probably had zero insights because Beast Blood Pellets are more effective with low insight. Thank you! Insight makes changes to the world so yes but not necessarily harder.
