Obsidian Greatsword Bad or Good?

[超高校級のEther]

I cut off Kalameet's tail yesterday and got this sword.
It's buffable and has 480 damage when fully upgraded.
So I'm thinking, is this weapon a good greatsword that is worth to fully upgrade?
What do you think?

It's excellent, but it really shines when buffed. It's the only dragon weapon you can buff and it's worth it to grab that tail!

Its one of the best dragon weapons in the game and one of the best two-handed weapons in the game. Its relatively high base damage and low stat requirement allow for great build flexibility

Claymore is also buffable, but given Obsidian GS's unique weapon art, it's too hard to tell which one is more preferable. What do you think of the two? Does Obsidian GS's weapon art has some use in PVE except Knight Artorias boss fight?

IDK but I felt it's two handed strike is a little bit slow than Black Knight Greatsword?

[Strelok]

Its slightly slower than the BKGS but its still relatively good

Mainly for me, if I compare it to the Claymore, I always choose the Claymore. Reason being, you get the Claymore right in the beginning, so I can play with it more. (Plus, I own an actual, real Claymore so I'm biased!)

The main thing about the Obsidian Greatsword is that you get insane damage but for low stat requirements, making it ideal for making a spell-casting build around it. If you already have a Claymore and maxed out STR/DEX with that, might as well stick with it.

Thanks! I think I know my decision now!

One more thing to ask, the weapon art of Obsidian Greatsword is fire damage or purely physical damage?

If you want to use it as much as possible, yeah, it is predictable.

But if you use it maybe once during a fight, occasionally it will work.

if you're into melee fighting claymore is better cause both R2 are really useful in combat both PVE and PVP. And if you lvl up dex and str the damage will be higher for sure.

But it's a game and Obsidian GS is one of the better dragon tails - if you like to use it you'll be just as fine
