Any good straight sword for DEX character?
I have like 30 DEX and 18 strentht. I prefer using straight swords with a shield. I found some unique weapons either either through the environment or transfusion, but most of those straight swords scale better with strength, which I don't get it considering they aren't really large weapons.

If you can stand to use a katana instead the chaos blade has S scaling in dex when upgraded I think.

Refined Dark Sword. That's what I use. Mine's a Refined Dark Sword +10, does a ♥♥♥♥ ton of damage, too.

The Lothric Knight Sword is a solid dexterity long sword and is probably what you're looking for. It drops from the Lothric Knights that use them.

Dark Sword for PvP, Lothric Knight sword for PvE I'd say. Unless you think those shield breakers are useless.

Straight Swords are generally for hybrid Str/Dex builds.

You can infuse some of them with Sharp and they'll get decent C Str, B Dex scaling, but other than that they aren't geared towards Dex.

Better off using a Thrusting Sword or Katana.

I have Lothric set, but not the sword, where can I get the sword? Also I thought Dark Swords scales better with strength?

Thanks

Heavy Dark sword has A STR, refined has B/B STR/DEX. (Lothric knight sword pretty much the same)

Also, lothric knights wielding the sword.

Lothric Knight's Sword gets a B scaling from both Str and Dex if you'd infuse it for stat scaling; it also has a very neat reach for a sword, and its damage output isn't bad. It has no special abilities to speak of (his charged attack is just a powerful upward slash), but on the bright side, you can get it as early as on the first bonfire of the Lothric wall. Teleport to either first Bonfire (Lothric Wall) or the second one (atop the tower where you first meet one of these knights) and keep murdering them and then using the bonfire for instant rewards. Also, if you're struggling with killing those dudes, you can lure that first one up to the bonfire, where he can get stuck inside those small branches (or whatever it is) for some easy cheap kills.

Sunlight straight sword gets a B scaling with Str and dex and you can infuse it too.
442 of damage with 40 points in str and dex and its hability is the same that the sacred oath miracle. i get more than 600 damage point combined with sunlight blade.
I love it ;).

Get darkdrift, call it a day.

the primary dex weapons are thrusting swords like the estoc and katanas, if you want to get fancy you can probably take the claws or manikin claws and make them something.

Sharp notched whip is also B dex scaling if you fancy that.

If you're dead set on getting a straight sword then get refined dark sword or sunlight straight sword (dark sword is better overall)

Thanks for your help! @Raven due to the events of my game, I don't think I can get the darkdrift from that npc.
