Am I missing something with Rellana's twin blade?

[Loquitran]

So I beat Rellana, got her swords, pumped it to +10 and...it's not as good as I expected?
Don't get me wrong, the weapon is fine I guess, but the moveset is not that good, the animations take too long, the stamina consumption is crazy high and the poise damage is not good, so enemies just tank your hits and murderize you. The ash of war is very good, I'll give it that.

What do you guys think?

I run m as my 3th weapon , but they are good for ranged , or when u need to duel wield for fast hits , also useable against magic or fire weakness , but in general they are def lower dmg imo.

Like the range isnt as good as a moonveil either , but its range and entire combo u can do slight distance.

this sounded dumb , i know lol , but its a very situational weapon , good as a weapon u dont use often.

I tried them out for a good while, but went back to other items... Just as you say, the crappy poise damage is such a pain. I'm not even a real fan of the weapon arts. The fire really puts you in a vulnerable position for a decent amount of time and the range is pretty bad. The magic art is better imo, but still poor poise damage and the range could be better considering the damage really isn't much better than a regular attack.

the stamina consumption is super high yes I agree, the moveset also is only the same as dual wielding light greatswords which is super disappointing

I use it for the 1 handed move set, charged hit comes out faster than a light hit, then you start to notice how it can combo from heavy into light attacks.

It seems like a weapon that'll be better up around level 300+. Weapon damage scaling is mostly based on strength and dex, R1 skill scales off int, R2 skill scales off faith. It's a weapon that won't shine unless you have all four levelled up.

Add in the typical LGS weaknesses - almost no poise damage and no real jumping R2... you're left with a really niche weapon that doesn't work until very high levels.

Honestly, Milady is a much better weapon because you're free to compensate for its weaknesses with ashes of war.

It's a paired light greatsword. I slapped it on a dex build with no armor + blue dancer charm and it absolutely shreds. Especially the ash of war.
