Background: I had a vision regarding this build inspired by @quoppp6169 when he had chosen to try out Let Me Solo Her's set-up against bosses. This build was my attempt to take the mechanics of what @LMSH's build does and improve upon it to create an extremely viable and powerful build.

For this build: Successive Hits. Jump Attacks. Frosbite. Fire Damage. Bleed. Those are the five components that make Let Me Solo Her's build capable of being so effective against Malenia. He achieves this through the use of a Cold Uchigatana and Rivers of Blood. I found one flaw in his set-up: Katanas aren't really that good of a powerstance in terms of triggering successive hits because only their jumping and rolling attacks have both weapons hitting at the same time. So, I made one fundamental change: Instead of using powerstance katanas I chose the following set-up: Fire (or Heavy) affinity Scavenger's Curved Sword (to provide fire and bleed) and a Cold affinity Beastman's Curved Sword (to provide cold). This is because Curved Swords: a) Curved Swords always hit at the same time with exception to their rolling attack. b) their running attacks and jump attacks hit up to four times if all hits connect. This leads to stacking successive hit buffs incredibly quickly. The most surprising choice with this build is likely that this is a Strength build. I went with Strength to promote scaling syngery. Fire affinity scales with Strength and the Beastman's Curved Sword has the highest Strength scaling while set to the Cold affinity of the Curved Sword class. The mechanics of this build are simple: Through successive hits, your damage will ramp up incredibly fast. Those same successive hits will likely trigger either Frostbite or Bleed. The Fire Damage will reset Frostbite (it does not prevent the status from building; it only has an effect in resetting it AFTER Frostbite has procced). By resetting Frostbite, that allows it to be triggered again. This leads to an incredibly efficient build. I do occasionally sub in a Fire Beastman's Curved Sword if a boss either doesn't bleed or if I don't think I will be able to trigger bleed due to mobility or ending the fight before triggering it.

There are two main ways you could buff with this build pre-fight.
a) Frostbite Focused
- Golden Vow and Flame, Grant me Strength
- Chilling Mist with Beastman's, Flaming Strike with Scavenger's
-Drink Physick
b) Bleed Focused
-GV and FGMS
- Bloodflame Blade on Scavenger's (Heavy)
-Drink Physick

How to Improve this Build:
To begin, a concession: If you really care about this being the definitive MOST POWERFUL WAY to play powerstance curved swords while also min-maxing, this is not it. That would likely be Occult Scavenger's Curved Swords with dual Seppuku. That wasn't the point of this build. The point of this build was to make an improved version of what Let Me Solo Her does, which is why I had to think outside of the box a bit. That said, yeah, this build also a high ceiling if you want to go all in on levelling as high as possible. To begin, 80 Strength and 80 Intelligence would max out the damage on the Beastman's Curved Sword with Cold affinity and yield an AR of 650. That would be an 11% increase in power compared to mine which has 577. That's the easy part in terms of improvment. As for the "lead" Curved Sword, you have options. There isn't really any improving the Scavenger's Curved Sword with Heavy affinity and Bloodflame or Fire affinity, so I think the best move would be either a) go Occult affinity with 80 Arcane with it or b) go with something like the Magma Blade or a Flame Art Bandit Curved Sword.
