How to improve weapon scaling?

[=Focus=]

Noob question here but ... let's say I have a sword that has a D scaling with Strength, how can I upgrade it to have an S scaling with strength ?

Thanks ..

infusing

If it has a D in strength, chances are you will probably not ever get an S in it. I'm not exaggerating this.

With Heavy infusion, the infusion that boosts strength scaling, a D will most likely be a B or A.

Not every weapon gets a S scaling for a stat when infused.
Some work better with certain infusions while others are not so good

It depends on the weapon. First thing is the base scaling and the upgraded +5 or +10 scaling. Then you can infuse it with a gem provided you found the coal, but that only applies to regular +10 weapons.

So the only thing that can potentially improve scaling is infusing? not leveling up the attribute or upgrading the weapon to +1,2 etc.. ?

Upgrading a weapon will slowly improve the scaling that is already present. However, it win't be very much from, say, +1 to +2, no, you'll have to hella invest in it.

Infusing simply improves things, making the wapon more suitable to what attribute(s) you are using.

Leveling up an attribute will not affect the weapon scaling at all. If your chosen attribute happens to be the same attribute that a weapon has B scaling in, then your attribute will contribute to the damage more effectively.

No. Leveling the weapon improves scaling, but it depends on the weapon itself. If you want to use a Straight Sword as a STR character, you will have to infuse it with Heavy. The letter next to the Stat shows you how much benefit or bonus damage you will get from the scaling (hence the name). If you level STR to 50 or 66, but the weapon has weak base damage and weak scaling (E or D for example) then you won't get much from those stats and you can consider them wasted.
