Rellana twin blades worth getting?

[Codester]

They seem pretty good. I'd have to spec out of my dex/arc and into dex/int, so I'm wondering if it's worth it.

[CSskullflame]

it's str/dex/int/fth with a C scaling in each and 3 way split damage and...
surprisingly good at 30/30/30/30

its ash of war seems cool, too?

currently running bleed with eleonora's poleblade and some swarm of flies. definitely fun and some good cheese, but also wanting to try out some DLC weapons

Yes, especially if you're high level and invested in every one of the stats, quick, skill is good and triple damage source, much like the sword of night and flame is.

it's worth, at least imo. Not too impressed with her twin moon spells though.

i'm level 160, so i can put some decent stats into most of those. probably not 30s across the board though.

Well not every SINGLE stat, but most of them helps, the character i use it on has very low str compared to the other stats, but it still gets high damage from the other 3

These surely are quite nice. But the AoW isn't really practical against anything but trash. It locks you in place far to long. It's flashy tho.

I settled with the ancient meteoric ore greatsword .. I needed a change since eleonora got boring fast, especially since in the dlc only the l2 is useful. The greatsword hits like truck-kun. The AoW also is incredible. Using starfist if I need something faster.

where do you get this?

[Toes R Us]

I wish Rellana's swords had a block tho for guard counters
kinda weird it has a straight sword animation for the l1

Fromsoft really wants me to invest into faith man... Every cool weapon i found, every cool spell and every cool ash of war is behind either faith or arcane and as int/str i am seething

respec

i respec'd for this weapon, want to play around a bit, but i'm already missing my bleed and swarm of flies arc/dex build. too much fun.

[River]

I used them for a bit before I found the Ancient Meteoric Ore Greatsword, and they are definitely fun to use. Strong too considering that my build is not optimized for them.

Does anybody know how to use the ash of war? You have to press shift + Left mouse to get into the stance, then you press right mouse to use the flames but to use the magic i don't know what to press. Thanks

You start the ash of war but instead of rght clicking fo the flame you left click for the magic.

Well, so far they're worse than Sword of Night and Flame in just about every aspect at 20/46/46 DEX/INT/FTH.

As in skills do less damage and poise damage, slower, for more FP and with worse range. Also slightly slower. As do basic attacks.

And there's no stagger on heavy or jump attacks on knights and above. Which ultimately defeats the purpose of the flowing moveset since you'll need to roll away.

Maybe it's a weapon meant for lvl 300 or something.

Spent a good while using this weapon, it's... decent enough. The regular R1 combo is great, hits extremely hard and does quite good poise damage for a fast weapon. On the other hand, being a paired weapon the animation drags on for quite a while, so against any enemy fast enough to punish and high enough poise not to flinch, you're going to suffer. A lot.

Weapon art is very flashy, but ultimately not that practical. The R1 art again lacks poise damage, so against anything other than trash it's going to get you splattered. The R2 art is considerably more practical because it does do a lot of poise damage (and so do the flames it spawns), one of the very few ways this weapon can be viable against knight enemies is to stunlock them to death with this, the lingering flames hold them down long enough to hit them again.

I respecced to use this weapon (level ~200, stats approx 20/20/50/50), after using it for a while I think I'm going to respec back out of it. Interesting weapon, flashy weapon, not a very practical one.
