Sellsword Twinblade OP af.....

[Yozora]

So Ive been running this build for my current new playthrough that I recently started and boy is it op as F*ck. I literally killed Nameless King on 2nd attempt and first attempt for Freide. Thoughts on sellsword?

Haven't used it myself but i know it's used in speedruns, so it's prob great for pve

the weapon itself is so gamebreaking since there is so much dps, mix that with the pontif rings, flynn ring, and red tearstone ring and you get a crazy stupid dps, though i normally just used the first 2 rings

There is a reason they are called sellsword winblades.
But with right gear magic can kill most bosses faster.

One massive perk is buffing them with resins. The buff applies fully to both swords, unlike elemental infusion which applies roughly 2/3 of the infusion to each. Sharp, buffed with a resin or spell gives huge damage.

Interestingly, the Dancer's swords are one of the worst weapon in the game at low level but become one of the best when you reach the soft cap in all your stats (40 all round). The split damage is pretty bad but the four stat scaling gives very good bonuses.

Uhh no dancer swords suck even with 99 in each stat

They're good for PvE and shred bosses even on NG+ cycles with ease. They can also be used in PvP to some effect even though there are better weapons. I've seen it used on bleed builds with some success.

Oh, another maxi

Plenty of things OP in PVE, especially at low NGs.

Sellswords + buff have one of the highest dps in game, however there are other strong tactics.

For example, Astora GS stunlock2win: Friede will spend most of the fight on the floor and NK can be riposted after a couple of charged hits.

Lightning Arrow is more OP for PvE and PvP. People hate it so much because of how effective it is.
