Aquamarine Dagger, Moonlight greatsword, or crescent moon.

[Ms Peaches]

I'm working on an int build and i'm trying to decide on which one to use. I used a wepon calculator an the damage for an int 60 build is

Dagger: 313
Greatsword: 572
Crescent: 359

However they all have various stamina consumptions. thus the crescent and dagger cant pull off more hits. What would you guys reccomend?

[monetize extinction]

yes

[rmcrow2]

Dagger, is has less stamina consumption for you and more stagger for your target.

[rmcrow2]

Plus the change in hit area is a mind ♥♥♥♥ in pvp.

Dagger

Greatsword. Can I also recommend checking Greatsword of Judgement? Only thing they have more stat requirements, but I believe you can still work with that.


Dagger and Crescent, while I absolutely love them (especially crescent), they both excel when you use dex+int build.

Crescent is pretty garbage and isn't even an option.
Same with Greatsword of Judgement.

Aquamarine Dagger weighs 1.5, so it should be pretty easy to swap between that and the Moonlight Greatsword with at least 16 STR 14 DEX.

Crescent moon axe was always one of the best int weapons.

I mean what's best depends on the player, and crescent was, for me, much better than any other int weapon. Always. And greatsword of judgement, for me, was better than everything else, except crescent and heyzel's pick.



That reminds me, if you accidentally do a hybrid str+int build, heyzel is the best weapon possible. But a simple int build is nice for it too. You need some poise tho.

It's a catalist, not a weapon. But as a catalist I find it pretty good.

dagger is op af
rest are... "ok"
moonlight is basically a
60 int+ bare minimum stats for sword build weapon.

The dagger is op even at bare minimum stats on a low SL build just because of how the hitbox on it is so dumb lol

It's a trap, they are all bad tbh. You should go with a normal int straight sword.

I think I'm gonna go with the dagger. I enchanted my mailbreaker in the meantime (with a sharp one for resin buffs). And monituring the damage I have to say its been only roughly 10 points under a buffed dagger which is incredible. Enchantments must have recieved a buff because its been a godsend.

Rather Heysel's Pick. Or the Greatsword of Judgement.

Straight Swords are trash for trash tier players. Go Moonlight Greatsword, it's the best weapon in the whole game. Downright to the looks, damage, manual beams, hyperarmor L2 counter.
Super god tier weapon.

However if you are going to 60 INT, then you might use something else if magic is your primary means of dealing damage. MLGS is best used for melee without or with support magic at 40 INT.

I'd personally try using both the dagger and greatsword because those two are the most annoying to face off against. Think they'd both do well in different situations.
