are there any one-handed swords to fight?

[*Yuki*]

I've started without amber idol, so - for now, Im uses tier1 sword, bought from NPC, upgraded to 2. I dont want to use greatswords, cuz they are slow af (so - ever if they are OP for farm, on bossfights...).
So, my question is - are there any better one-handed swords to find?

Scharfrichter and Trinity Greatsword both have a special attribute that makes them as fast as a one-handed weapon

stamina usage and combo are the same as other greatswords

In terms of brute practicality, the tachi and steel centipede are early-game favorites for the one-handed sword move set thanks to their great speed and scaling. In the case of the Tachi, it's one of the fastest in the game.
You can snag a tachi in the Red Hall, or you could beat up ogres or sorcerors until they drop an amber idol and alchemize that with one of the fifty billion retchfeeder jaws you're likely to have in order to get one.
Meanwhile, the Iron Ones blacksmiths sell steel centipedes at rank 2 devotion. Unfortunately, they work off of the whip skill despite being one-handed swords for all purposes other than standing strong attacks.

Red Guillotine is an axe, but it technically functions the same as a sword. It's pure STR scaling. I used this weapon until half way through NG+. it's a solid choice. Axe of Splendor is only marginally better than the Red Guillotine, which was the weapon that replaced it.

If you want a 1h weapon that just hits like a bus, and without the massive stamina cost of a 2h weapon, then the Mountain Breaker does exactly that. It's damage rivals that of many 2h weapons, but without the stamina cost. It's heavy, it's slower than most 1hs, but honestly it's not that slow if you use the attack speed charm, and it also has extra poise break. The weapon works great on an endurance tank with heavy armor + greatshield.
