Alternatives to Blasphemous Blade

[Kristoffer]

I'm tired of this old badboy and want to replace it.
What are fun/good alternatives?

Currently 60 str/40 faith.

DLC? There's some fun STR/FTH weapons to play with in it.

Far as basegame goes, I enjoyed the Magmawyrm scalesword more than Blasphemous Blade. There's a number of STR/FTH spears, like the Treespear or Vykes. If you're in the hammer crowd there's an Erdtree Avatar in the deeproot depths that drops his stick. And there's the Envoy horns you can collect for dooting memes.

I have the DLC but wanted to use a different weapon than BB.
Have the magma sword and avatarstick so maybe try that, yeah!

The downside is that the only other AoW I know of that heals on hits is Prayerful Strike.

The upside though is that the BB's range damage effect has a couple of similarities with other weapons' arts.

The Greatsword of Solitude has become a favorite of mine - it's AoW launches a non-chargable bolt that fires off pretty fast, travels pretty fast, has pretty good range, and does damage based entirely on Str. So, it hits pretty hard by itself, especially since it looks like your character is built for it. It has about the same range as the BB's ranged attack, perhaps a little less. The nice thing is that you can follow it up easily with a heavy attack, which is a nasty two-hit combo for hearty enemies. It doesn't use FAI at all for scaling, but it does certainly benefit from Flame Grant Me Strength and Golden Vow.

There's a colossal sunflower than allows you to pancake everyone. I never knew I'd love flower power so much!

Only can recommend the Ancient Meteoric Ore Greatsword . It melts bosses at least for me quite fast

there is no alternative. it still reigns supreme

I dunno anything about faith scaling weapons, but the good old Zweihander has never once done me wrong in this game. Throw Giant Hunt on that bad boy and go destroy everybody :D

If you want specifically another str+fth greatsword the only thing that comes close is gargoyles blackblade i think

for anything that matches it or surpasses it you will want to look at another category of weapon imo

Try Siluria's Tree. The fully-charged WA is awesome, and there are several new pieces of equipment that boost it.

The new fire knight ugs is str/faith and has been kicking ass for me. I’m powerstancing it with a Zweihander, both fire infused and doing like 2500 per jump attack on the final boss. It’s pretty nutty.

I don't mind other weapons than swords, though I want something that is str/faith.

Black Steel Greathammer is pretty neat. The Holy Bonker. Death Knight's Longhaft Axe looks pretty sweet too.
