twinblade build?

[Catterpillar]

what would be an effective twinblade build? any recomendation on infusion?

[DuckieMcduck]

Red Iron Twinblade seems to be the most viable one, but don't quote me on that.

Build for what? PvP? PvE? You have to ask good questions to get good answers.

Personally, I find Red Iron Twin to be very comfortable tool for PvE. I use mainly Lightning infuse.
It's not amazing in PvE, but can do alright if you play very carefully and know the moveset very well.

You just do it? The play style is hard for new players though, thus rarely do people use twinblades aside from the stupid propeller.

The curved twinblade is probably your best choice. it even has bleed on it already and im pretty sure you get it already at +5. Honestly you're best chance is Santier's spear. It mainly has very good durability but after the patch that came out it might not be worth it, up to you. And yeah like Duckie mentioned, the Red Iron Twinblade is one of the best out there, Just its move set is a LITTLE different. Probablly poison or bleed would be the best infusion but i dont know. Just for a little more info incase you havent already checked.

Didn't they give Santier's Spear a buff in the last patch? I remember they nerfed the mundane infusion on that one, and at that time it only got like 230 damage with Raw, but after the last patch it know has 380 damage Raw infused, and it's totally liable. Add Ring of Blades +2 and if you got a light build Flynn's Ring, and you have 480 damage, that will decimate enemies, specially in NG. Add some resin and it will have enough damamge. I decimated Shin with this as I was tired of getting my weapon broken in the middle of the fight.

Red Iron twinblade if you go pure STR or Raw Santiers spear with just enough stats to wield it and put resins on it all others are meh to bad.

not economically efficient, but thanks regardless. Im mainly looking for a PVE build around soul level 150. i have been trying the stonetwinblade but they have low backstab.

Curved twinblade for some reason does less damage (by 6 on a 45/45)than the regular one, and weighs more (which also means more stamina consumption.)

I just wish it has a higher scaling with dex. The bleed is is gimmicky at best and is rarely useful.
