Possibly one of the best weapons. Great Utility moveset, the weapon art has very nice usage (especially the guard break r1, not as good as the claymore but a lot faster) and excels with just about any build, from regular sword and board to a caster, this'll work on anything. Especially on a mage, as crystal LSS might be a bit better, the stat investment can make it non viable. Great weapon, and if you use it right you can really go to town with this.

Is the slightly increased range of the LKS worth the 8 levels in dex?

Does this weapon have hyper armor for weapon art?

On this weapon its worth to infuse it with a simple gem for a mage. It reaches almost the same damage as the crystal infusion since it has a better scaling on a simple infusion while you profit from the FP regen

Good for any occasion. Whether it be for fashion or practical purposes, you can always rely on the Longsword.

Would a Longsword with dark infusion be a suitable weapon to use with a mainly STR/INT/FTH build? Alongside using Dark Clutch Ring and Pontiff's Right Eye?

On the chaos table, why does it say that a +9 has more fire damage than a +10?

Viable for a FTH build? I wanna try running a sort of "holy knight" character but given that this is a quality weapon I might be starved for stats while remaining within meta level (as FTH already requires me to level it and ATT, and VIG and END are necessary for any build). Given how lightning miracles aren't very good until you hit 60FTH I'm really stretching my levels here.

Good for dark souls 3 starters. Play as knight which has long sword at start. Infuse with raw gem. Maximise health and stamina. Spam r1. It also has thrust for narrow spaces.

Y da fug would u use this*****ty default sword??? Go look for the one called lothric knight sword (lkss) instead. Why? Because it's the swaggiest god sword that will help you wreck any1 in pvp.
