Favourite weapon?

What are peoples favourite weapons and setups?

I was using the greatsword originally until Viper, then switched it up to the Spear and have been decimating everything since, however was a slight roadblock with Volbaino with spear not doing all that much damage tbh, took me about 15-20mins to take him down. I've now beaten the spider boss and thinking of trying out the dual wield, but a lot of people seem to say they're bad.

How do dual wield compare to the spear?

I just cleared the game true ending, normal mode yatayata. I used the spear for 95% of the game with the phantom set. Assault, Trance, Spiral Thrust, Moonlight, Phantom judgement, Spiral Thrust, Trance, Brutal attack.

I figured it was lore appropriate since we work with Phantom. It was a decent enough time and it could deal around 40%+ depending on how much spirit I wanted to use during an exhaust.

I want to see the epic sets for spear and see if they have anything interesting.

Haven't died with the greatsword until gravity happened at some random hole in Volbaino's village. Can't convince me to use a different one except ng plus maybe

I've watched gameplay late and early of the dual wield and spear and honestly, they just don't look as fun as what you can do/feel like you're doing with the great sword. Nothing feels better than using a ghost arm over power and pushing the boss back, making them lose 15-20% of their stamina bar, only to follow with a phantom veiled walloping potent blow, into a crashing on their head leaping strike, right into an inner fury. The combination is not only devastation to HP bars and flows well, it makes you just feel like a force of nature lol.

Spears, never had a souls like with such a satisfying spear gameplay..
All of them are great thought, every weapon you have here is more flashed out than they ever were in fromsoft games, it's like comparing Sekiro's Katana gameplay to the other souls games katana gameplay.
Imo every weapon you have here, GS, Spear and Dual Wield is better done than say in ER or DS.

There is just one weapon in the game.. GREATSWORD UNITE!

[Anatolius]

Greatsword, though i keep having a feeling that GS is a bit of an outsider in the game with such strict stamina management.

Doing a greatsword run and I really like it but its is NOT harder than the other weapons its just different opening.

Idk why everyone keeps saying GS is so hard.

Early great sword is way harder than early spear/dual wield. Once you have specific skills unlocked, great sword is incomparible in terms of damage and stamina damage (If) you use the proper rotations.

I feel you for sure but if you know how to counterattack its just a bit of patience

I wanted to play with dual wield but I just can’t get the feel of them. Spear is insanely fun and it’s what I have been using nearly done with NG+ now. Haven’t tried great sword at all.

[Braydra]

Semi unrelated but they need to nerf swift attack dodging into bosses its the same with every weapon that you can basically stun lock them.

If you like the spear you should play black myth if you havent already.

Chaos-ridden Sentinel Greatsword.
Free heals.

Dual wield is the hardest weapon type out of the three to play well because its combos are quite complex. However when you pull it off properly it has the flashiest and most fast paced gameplay.

You're a gentleman and a scholar.
I'm playing right now but while similar there's still a difference in my mind from spear to giant staff, even if they play and feel the same, it's silly I know. I love the variety and the fact that the staff is also very flashed out there though.
