Hot Take - There Are No Bad DLC Weapons

[Nifty]

Every single time I try a new dlc weapon it's broken in some amazing and unique way.

Bloodfiend weapons can either be infused for max bleed values in the game, occult for physical, or elemental to maintain bleed and get a massive boost of dmg.

New dex weapons scale at an S and put out incredible endgame amounts of dmg. To the point that normal attacks are practically the new ashes of war.

Magic infusions work great on new weapon categories including things like the great katana, and thrusting shields.

The new whip has the DKS 3 weapon art which makes it mandatory to have in your left hand in dual whip setups.

Multiple colossal weapons one-shot with their weapon arts as demonstrated by chase the bro pvp footage.

Perfumes are bugged but useful regardless, reverse blades turn you into an anime character.

Bows are viable for the first time ever.

Find me a weapon in this dlc and I guarantee I can break it harder then a blasphemous blade user who has all the buttons on their controller broken other then L2.

Has he tried lizard greatsword yet? Lol

I mean basically every weapon in the DLC is essentially an end game weapon. So most are going to be pretty solid, and a few are god tier because of bugs or what is probably a bug.

the hand to hand weapons are pretty ass

The reality is that most of the DLC weapons are pure upgrades over base game.

Faith build: base game banished knights halberg happy to do like 1200 dmg in dlc

Smith hammer: hits for 3k at range

The smithscript weapons have bugged scaling which is 100% getting patched.

OP bugged weapons =/= upgrades.

Have you tried shard of Alexander, plus kicking talisman, plus elemental talisman, plus elemental tear?

I doubt it's bad.

Alternatively you do normal winged taliaman, thorny tear stacking nonsense with blue dancer.

Tell me, what can you get out of the Serpent Flail? Or the Bloodfiend's Sacred Spear?

Blood fiends spear has 120 bleed build up that can be brought even further beyond with seppuku.

Alternatively elemental infusions will keep 68 bleed build up and massively boost dmg.

That's the Bloodfiend's Fork. The Bloodfiend's Sacred Spear is the weak-ass copy of Mohg's Spear.

Lol I genuinely thought there was only one bloodfiend spear.

Weapon skill looks cool, instead of being an aoe that insta murders its like ranged bleed thunderbolt and should be used as such.

To pull mobs and stack up bleed before committing to melee.

Dancing blades of ranah don't even get S scaling in dex, no other scaling, takes up two hands so you give up a shield or any kind of spellcasting implement, if you want to use one you have to then fiddle with reequipping both swords again, is a dex weapon without bleed (so worthless), can't be infused or greased, weapon art can't be changed and the weapon art is completely useless with no hyper armor, and doesn't do good damage anyway. I'm sure there's plenty of bad DLC weapons.
