[Kumbu]

I currently dont own any dlc (yet) and ive heard that the splitleaf greatsword is the best strength weapon, but i dont have the dlc neccesary. So which is the best base game strength weapon?

Edit: ok i see that there is no "best weapons", btu what are some good weapons.

...
When people will learn...
In Dark Souls there is no "the best weapon"
Go into wikidot or fextralife site and check scaling and movesets of weapons.
Look at everything, hammers, greatswords, ultra greatswords

I personally like Claymore. Not sure if it's the ''best'' but it get's the job done.

I'm a big fan of the Great Club. Strong AR with good weight to stamina consumption ratio and an excellent moveset.

Yhorm's Machete, Vordt's Hammer, any infusable weapon with A or S in strenght and Fume Ultra Greatsword. My advice is to get a weapon with perseverance or stomp skill.

The bog standard Mace is surprisingly effective, since it gets Perseverence and is decently fast. Heavy gives it A scaling.

Can't go with with Black Knight Greatsword. I use it in DS1 and DS3, but not DS2 because they fuqqed it up.

I love my heavy infused Greatsword, it hits like a truck. There are probably better weapons, but I always came back after trying different stuff

9/10, not enough CLANG.

Personally I'd go heavy infused Zweihander, it's got the space program and everything. I think the UGS with the best moveset is actually the propane pontiff drops, but it's not infusable.

Warpick beats all.
-Pierces shields
-Decent moveset
-Leo counters hurt like a truck
-Weapon art secretly lets you tank a single hit like Perseverance
-Hyperarmor
Lacks range though, but that's what the offhand crossbow is for.

BK weapons are Str/Dex, not pure Str.
