Saint Bident w/ 60 Faith Build
So, has anyone tried this weapon out yet on a full Faith build? I've been using the Lightning Longsword for a long time and it's fantastic... but boring. This weapon flew under my radar and I've yet to try it out. How does it fare in PVP?

I mean it's pretty decent and all, but as far as spears go. I would use a Winged Spear since it's reach is longer and it gets an A if you go blessed or a S if you go lightning infusion. Where as the Saint Bident gets an B for blessed and an A for lightning. Lothric Knight Spear is also good since it gets both A's to lightning and blessed.

It's pretty good.

It's best on a dex/faith build.

Infuse it with sharp and then buff it with DMB.

Since you've got a weapon that effectively scales on both dex and faith.

Dark is also good too.

60 faith is still pretty good though.

Infuse it with lightning and watch your enemies get electrified.

Thanks, guys, I'll definitely be trying it out next :praisesun: I've always wanted to use a spear on my Faith build, but I could never find a good one that didn't require much investment

Although, I want to use the Partizan on a faith/dex build.

Silver Knight Spear is the best spear! Or at least it would've been if it was in the game [steamangryorhungry]

TBH, yeah that does kinda suck.

Honestly would be awesome. Especially since the Silver Knights in DS3 have a lightning charge ability that's totally not stolen from.. some dragonslayer.. no no siree!

Although the Silver Knight SS would be even cooler, since they seem to have a lightning buff of sorts that activates whenever they slam their sword to the ground.

Would be nice if the Silver Knight SS had a WA where it's buffed with lightning. And all the moves change into a more wide swinging arc moveset.

Great point, I'd have loved a SKSS as well. And really like that WA buff idea!

The Partizan actually has an amazing moveset, but I'm ashamed to say I didn't find it on my first few playthroughs because it was so well hidden :bloodstain2:

To this day I still don't know why the devs never included Silver Knight weapons. In DS1 they were actually some of my favorites to use :steamsalty: The icing on the cake is the datamined Ledo set that was never included in the game

I continued hope they'd patch them in when the dlc's came out, but then nothing, I loved my SKS in DS1. And way back at release, I remember farming the Silver Knights not for proofs, but for my spear after searching all over Anor Londo for the weapons as an item location.
