Please recommend me weapons or Builds.

Hey I just started demon souls today, royalty class and just defeated the boss in 1-1. I’ve played almost every other souls game multiple times, so I’m not inexperienced.

But I always have a hard time deciding what build to go for. People always say for the first playthrough „Go with what looks cool“ But how, I don’t even know what my options are.

So I’d be happy to hear your favourite weapons, cool weapons and builds. :)

Als, I’m playing with the thought of doing pvp on here…so I’m open to pvp suggestions too, but I first wanna get though the game ofc.

Thanks
