In PvP its fast moveset combines with deceptively long range to make you a truly terrifying opponent.įor the best results, infuse with either a Sharp or Refined gem, for a Dexterity or quality build respectively. Of all the straight swords, the Estoc boasts the best thrusting attacks and high damage output. Others can purchase it for 3,000 souls from Greirat in Firelink Shrine after releasing him from his cell in High Wall of Lothric.Ī great choice for sword-and-board-that is, fighting with a sword and shield.

Like other Black Knight weapons, it also deals a bonus 20% damage to demons which is pretty nice. It works best with a Refined infusion on quality builds due to its Strength and Dexterity scalings. How to get: Dropped by Black Knights wielding a Greataxe.Ī fantastic choice for PvE, the Black Knight Greataxe features high damage, wide range, and a varied moveset. It works best with a Heavy infusion for Strength builds but also performs well with a Refined infusion for quality builds. This weapon was notoriously overpowered at the game’s release but has since received adjustments.Įven with these changes, the Dark Sword is still potent in both PvE and PvP. Next up we have a straight sword that swings and hits like a greatsword. How to get: Dropped by Darkwraiths which you can easily find at High Wall of Lothric and Farron Keep. However, the moveset often leaves you vulnerable to parries in PvP, making it a comparatively lackluster option. The Farron Greatsword works best with quality builds(which allocate 40 points in both Strength and Dexterity), though it performs well enough with pure Dexterity builds too.įor PvE its exaggerated sweeping attacks let you take on multiple enemies with ease.

The weapons considered here will generally perform well in one or more of the following areas: solo/cooperative play against AI and bosses (PvE), player versus player combat (PvP), or a combination of both. In this article I’ll focus on what I think are the best choices for players who want to get down and dirty in melee. While you can reasonably use any number of weapons to complete the game, there are some picks that just stand a cut above the rest.
Many players will opt into a melee playstyle to defeat their enemies by wielding swords, spears, axes, and more. These choices ultimately combine with stat distribution, infusions, buffs, and weapon upgrades to form what we like to call “builds”. Aside from the most hardcore players, equipment choice will greatly affect your Dark Souls 3 experience.įortunately the game gives us lots of gear to mix and match according to our preferences.
