These are used by Miracle casters and not by everyone. These, like Catalysts, allow players to cast Miracles. Mainly because of the fact that it has no negative effect on MP and has the most power for one that has no negative effect on MP. Wooden Catalyst is, overall, the best one. These are only used by Spell Casters and not for everyone. CatalystsĬatalysts are off hand weapons that allow you to use and increase the strength of Magic Spells. Overall, the best option is the Compound Long Bow as it has the longest range, the shots can be aimed and it reloads fast. Without a doubt, Battle Axe is the best because of its durability, base damage and because its swing can easily hit multiple targets at once.īoth are ranged weapons, with bows featuring longer range with aimed shots, whereas Crossbows deal higher damage, but you cannot aim using them. Axes have good damage and stagger but are generally slower than swords. AxesĪxes have a short-range but provide a wide arc of attack. In our opinion, the best one is the Mail Breaker, as it can be found easily in the game and can be used with your shield up. Thrusting Swords are all close to each other, with no major merit or demerit. These swords are specially for piercing attacks and are best used to counter an enemy’s attack or as a follow-up. Uchigatana deals good damage that scales with your DEX stat, without the annoying HP drops the other katanas give. Most of the Katanas also inflict bleed damage on the enemies. They have good speed and can be used effectively even against crowds. Straight Swords capable of Slashing and thrusting, best used with DEX builds. In terms of speed, range, combo styles, raw damage or looks, the best curved Sword is undoubtedly the Kilij, followed by Falchion. Curved Swords are best known for their great combos. However, they have lower range than straight swords. These swords are similar to Straight Swords but offer better mobility and attack speed than Straight Swords. The sword will stun the enemies allowing you to keep your barrage or get away if you have low stamina.

The best option in these two is the Dragon Bone Smasher. Greatswords feature massive damage and great stagger potential even against larger and stronger enemies. These great swords cost players both mobility and attack speed but are worth it.

The best of these is the Flamberge, due to the natural bleed perk it provides, making it highly devastating. Their increased length also provides better range. They have decent stagger potential against most of the enemies. These large swords sacrifice attack speed in exchange for high damage.
