this highly depends on various factors. did death notice you or not is most important. before death notices you, there is preemption bonus which knocks it down far sooner beside multiplied damage. once death notices you, stagger amount is really hard to reach by anything other than blast arrows and 5fold or 10fold.

stagger/knockback value is not really telling much. framae (513)+2xbarbed nails(200)+cursed king's belt(100 i think) is no way near enough to knockback most bigger enemies. all die before falling down, where other weapons can knock them down fairly easy. at least as i see each attack has its own buildup multiplier which is multiplied with weapon stagger value. with weaker weapons faster attacks build it faster with less diminishing return

bridge shot works because death is traveling different direction first giving you a lot  of time to line up the shot unless you have a lamp which reduces that time by a lot.

it is simpler to reclass to ranger just for that shot since bridge area is at the beggining of area. after you kill death you simply return back to oira and change back to your class
