Blessed build?

Hi guys.

I played elden ring and then I started playing ds1 ds2 and demon souls.

Now I started ds3 and move to bloodbourne and sekiro later.

I choose clerk because I wanted to try a health regen build. I hear lothric knight GS is awesome with blessed upgrades but does anyone have tips for me till I get the GS like how do stats etc what early weapons to use.

I killed the mimic chest and got an axe with dark and a 100% physical block shield.

I haven’t gotten to the second boss yet but any tips guys?
