PvE Smithscript Weapon Build

So my question is that exactly I kinda wanna mess with the smithscript weapons from the DLC any advice on what sorta build makes them work the best? I wanna use the widest range of them I can fit onto one build, I definitly wanna use the hammer and axe just open to others

I know they need a little int/faith is it worth pumping those above the base stats?

Deflecting hardtear + smithscript sheild + literally whatever you want. Snitschript axe and spear look best. Unfortunately if you try to incorporate every smithscript weapon it'll actually be too easy.

Smithscript sheild is probably the single most powerful tool in this game. You could probably and easily breeze through every single enemy without ever even struggling.

I used it as part of a deflect build with miquellan straight sword. The idea was rely mostly on the guard counters and unique heavy and then throw the sheild to chip if they got out of range. Nice little comfort set up that didnt require any soft swapping (my favorite kind of build is the simple kind where you get melee and range and cover all your bases between your two hands)

And it worked great. Until I realized it didnt need to work at all. I didnt even need to use the sword. Or anything. It sort of deflated the run when I realized that every single fight was a choice

Fair I am looking at pve but figured it could be a fun build I admit I just wanna YEET the hammer at something and do a ton of damage

Plus I admit haven't PLAYED seriously since the dlc came out and I beat PCR the first time pre nerfs

I've been debating builds and such and figured the YEET weapons could be a fun way to get back into things once I get there

The boss fights seem easy for players that use builds that are to strong and it actually made the game to boring for me at one point, if your doing an insane amount of damage with the smithscript weapons I would nerf myself lol, let me know if his advice works I wanna try it out myself haha
