Blackknight Greatsword VS Zweihander ?

[rogermorse]

I just found the black knight greatsword. I have been using the zweihander until now, enough damage and lighter than greatsword.

Anyway, I checked wiki fextralife and the black knight goes up to +5 and the stat damage is quite low. Mugenmonkey doesn't work yet, how can I know how it will perform with my stats (40 strength and 18 dex) ?

I would need to level up intelligence and dexterity to use the black knight....means 6 levels (4 int and 2 dex). I want to know whether it's worth it before i do that....i'd rather spend points in faith for my sunlight spear instead...

So basically how can I know the final damage output of the sword? Will it be higher than zweihander (it's already +10 mine) or not ?

normal greatsword at +10 = A scale with str .

Not sure I can answer your question to its completion, but bear in mind the Black Knight weapons also inflict fire damage when upgraded on the regular path. Enough that the +5s outperform the 10+ Zwei at least before scaling is accounted for. That fire damage could get under the skin of many shield users in a prolonged fight.

Also consider that the Black Knight Greatsword (not to be confused with the Black Knight Ultra Greatsword) may have a slightly quicker moveset due to being a lighter class of weapon. But it also suffers from weaker scaling.
