Elden Ring Hand-to-Hand combat - How to Build a FIRE KICKS Monk Build (Shadow of the Erdtree Build)

Builds a fire Dryleaf Arts setup around Dryleaf Whirlwind, Dain’s Footwork, Rakshasa armor, fire talismans, Flame-Shrouding Tear, and oil. Whirlwind chains three kicks and staggers; Flame Art Palm Blast reaches 13,000 damage, one- shots enemies, and clears the first zone without deaths. He feels sad after finishing the DLC in two weeks, then complains about its confusing, seemingly impractical architecture.

Continues damage-focused build experimentation, but rapid completion leaves the anticipated expansion feeling abruptly anticlimactic.
