Is there a heavy gem?

[binom]

I usually create a dex or quality build chars. In this playthrough I ended up creating a strength character.

I wanted to infuse my long sword with heavy gem but I haven't seen any heavy gems in my inventory. I know heavy infusion from DS3, just wondering if there is such a gem in DS2.

No, there aren't Heavy or Sharp "gems" in DS2. Your strength build depends entirely on stats and weapon scaling.

There's no heavy infusion. Only Raw, Magic, Enchanted (physical, scaling with INT), Dark, Fire, Lightning, Poison, Bleed and Mundane (scales with your lowest stat).

A plain old Longsword+STR build is more than enough damage to comfortably beat the game and all DLC with, especially with Ring of Blades and Flynn's Ring, which is actually one of the best rings in this game.

If you want the ultimate strength scaling, you might wanna get the Greatsword (the one that looks like the Buster Sword). I'm not sure it has the highest STR scaling in the game but it's definitely in the top 5.

You can also try weapons like the club, great club, and large club. They all scale wonderfully with strength and aren't hard to get.

I am rocking that one as high damage second weapon. Sometimes I replace it with Zweihander if I want to wear heavier armour. I also upgraded the Pursuer's Greatsword which is doing more damage than the Great Sword, but the moveset is funky sometimes.

I usually beat the game with long sword and claymore. This time I wanted to get the Greatsword before I reached the Smelter Demon. It was a good idea.

I remember using greatclub against the Loyce Knights, and pancaking them. It was a lot of fun. It wasn't a strength char though. I'll upgrade it as well. Thanks.
