Anyone else not like the Zweihander?

[Joshua9948]

Don't get me wrong, it's a damn good weapon, especially for early game because of its low weight and requirements. But I really cannot stand the look of it. It's super skinny and long almost like your holding a stick, yet you hold it as if it weighs a friggin ton. Idk that's just me, anyone else feel the same way?

I see a guy using this I pull my cancer sticks out and end it asap

How does smoking help with playing against a Zweihander?

I'd never betray my waifu Claymore

They seem to have been downsized from how they actually are in real life, resulting in wrong proportions. Probably 15-25% smaller than they ought to be.

It wasn't used much in any war or documented battles. A ceremonial weapon first, based on historic examples. In rare cases, these were alongside forward lance deployments, but this didn't last.

Claymore > Zweihander.

Funny how the Claymore has a longer range R2 despite being the shorter weapon.

Yeah, I'm not a fan of how it looks too and agree with the specifics of the criticism. I had the same criticism whenever I saw the Washing Pole in Ds3. WAY too skinny for how long it is. This one is the same - Looks like a broken blade on first swing to me...

Then ER came around and took nearly every DS3 weapon and made them even bigger. The next iteration of Fromsoft's ER/Darksouls clone will likely go even comically larger weapons than this. Because we gotta one up old stuff and... muh anime ... n'stuff. 🙄

elden ring zweihander has no distal or proximal taper. It's a mockery of the real life zweihander.

[Ignomyrmex]

I'm not a fan of zweihander in this game because it seems like it often misses the smaller enemies with the regular 2h r1 swings. I seem to consistently wiff and miss them because they seem to be able to duck under the swings.

edit: If I remember correctly, actually a few of the colossal swords have this issue as well.

The Claymore is a grower...
As in, it grows on you.

That's why I mostly made Cosplay characters. So I don't have to choose. The cosplay impose to me the weapon. And I do my best with it.

I don’t like it as much as the DS1 Zwei. Look how they massacred my boy
