How good is Dragonslayer Axe at Sl 1 ?

[Maxer Cypher]

I am planning to do a Sl 1 Run , and i heard this axe is very good for most bosses and enemies , so should I get it , at the Church of Yorshka ?

I mean you can use it. But you won't be able to until very late into the game as you will need the Hunters and the Knight Ring to increase your STR and DEX. One of them is in Lothric Castle and the other one on top of the archives...

It can be useful, you'll need to 2hand it, also note it consumes more stamina and hits slower than the Broadsword. Therefore I prefer the Broadsword. But you only can figure out if you like it, when you get it and test it yourself, so you should get it in any case. It's very useful against Nameless King ( first stage, hit the dragons head with it)
Also: get a Bandit's Knife for certain enemies.

Okay , thanks for the tips , i gonna try it , and also i gonna try the Bandit's Knife as well

it's good against midir, but I like to use raw broadsword + bleed bandit's dagger. apply lightning resin(preferably bundles) on bradsword and it's just as good on midir

if midir's what worries you, you could also practice midir to get a no-hit, his moves are heavily telegraphed, so it shouldn't take too much

ps. also consider profaned greatsword, it has the lowerst stat requirements(22str, 10dex, enough for 2hand knight ring), and its r2 chains on humanoid nps like halflight, ringed knights, etc

The Bandit's Knife is not for Midir. You can use it for Demon Princes. Also can try it against Oceiros and Aldrich. With Carthus Rouge ofc.

um.. not on oceiros, he's surprisingly resistant to bleed. Use lightning resin(bundles) broadsword instead. Use the bleed dagger on twin princes, gael, ariandel(NOT friede), greatwolf, nameless king(NOT his phase one, king of the storms), plus above mentioned aldrich and demon prince,
also it's a nice idea to practice parrying champ gundyr before your sl1 run

Okay , thanks for saying the bosses the weapon is useful for , it'll certainly helps

Bleeding is good against Oceiros.

But I like dual-wielded Warden Twinblades with lightning infusion or lightning resin
better than Bandit Knife.

really? last time I tried bundled broadsword did a better job than bandit's knife on sl1. pretty sure you'll have a better outcome if you used sellsword twinblades with resin

lothric UGS,(at sl 1- unupgraded) is a midir slayer , charged heavy attack in the face !

[Maxer Cypher]

Do bleed procs normally even if i don't have the stats to use the weapon ?
