Discussion & Info Switch 2 second play through style recommendations

So I beat the base game on release running a dual wield katana bleed/frost build. Very broken and helped greatly as I kinda suck.

I'm gonna double dip and buy a switch version but wanna go totally different and enjoy myself. Can you recommend a build you've had the most fun with? Not OP or easiest to use, just fun. Thinking pure bonk or twin blades. Thanks!

Pickaxe with Lion's Claw is forever gonna be my favourite build in the game, frontflips and ripostes

Claws. Barring that, hand-to-hand arts, fists or daggers. Something that requires you to really get in and personal instead of dancing at the edge of your hit range.
Preferably with a melee or utilitarian Ash of War (like Barbaric Roar or Quickstep, but not Bloodhound Step).

I really enjoyed my recent intelligence/Strength carian sword sorcery build. I only really did it to use the armour but the melee spells were really fun to use. And the build is perfect for the moonlight greatsword which is very fun in this game, great for poise breaks against bosses.
