Straight swords

[Yozait]

Hi everyone, I Have been playing as a Full Str and Dex build and using my long sword to go trough even 2 "old ones" and never upgraded it, because Every thing I am trying to use needs normal titanite to be upgraded, and I am trying to save as much titanite as I can. (Also, this sword worked wonders when I needed to pvp).

So, I wanted to ask, Does the Drake keeper sword has the same moveset that the long sword or should I upgrade my long sword?

P.D.: I Thought of using the Sun sword, but I think that the longsword was slightly diferent in the move set (or maybe the hitbox) that was bit more comfortable to use for me, Then again, I did´t dismiss the idea yet.

Sorry for any grammatical mistake.

I will point out that you can buy unlimited Titinite as you progress through the game. The only one you can't is the slab, and that can be farmed later on in NG if you wish. Which is to say, you don't really NEED to save titinite, just be careful early on.

That being said, Drake Keeper sword has same moveset as the Broad sword, which is pretty close to Longsword, but not identical.

IIRC, the broadsword moveset lacks thrusts. Not sure if that's a big deal to you, but that and longswords being more single target oriented (broadswords have wider arcs) are the only real differences.

My favorite straight sword is the longsword, and even on higher levels, is very viable. Its moveset is, in my opinion, the best one. I've searched for a better sword, but never found it, I always returned to it. And the cyan version is beautiful.

titanite and upgrades aren't useless by any means

sun sword is weak compared to other.hell even infused shorstword do more damage than infused sunsword.no real reason use it (i tried quality,faith ,magic build.sword still sucks) use shortsword or longsword rather

sunsword needs buff lol

[Yozait]

Actually, the Sun sword has the best physical damage scaling, and has most physical damage overall compared to other stright swords, but it losess it´s "magic" when you infuse it. (ot that´s what I have seen).

longsword in this game is chainsaw

The drakekeeper's sword has the broadsword moveset, uses slightly more stamina, and is one of the three longest straight swords in the game.
The long sword is definately a good weapon, especially infused. It has decent range and damage, and is a good weapon to compliment almost any build.
The sun sword is an ideal QUALITY weapon with a double A scaling for str and dex. It has a good moveset, and does decent damage. By no means should you ever infuse a sun sword.

The longsword R2's, both one-handed and two-handed, are the moves I like the best. The one-handed R2 is great at catching people trying to roll around.

check out foot soldier sword; it has sun sword's 1hr2 but longsword's speed/stamina drain, same reach as longsword, when infused +- same dmg as longsword, it's 1 unit lighter
the only downside is its durability
