I feel like everyone in these comments tried using this on a dex/str build and then was confused by why it sucked. lol Learn how scaling works before you post, this thing wants dex, str and faith, if you don't have that then obviously it's gonna suck. Sure, it's gonna require more levels, but so do many weapons in this game, not everything is meant to be used at SL100 or lower. Dragonslayer Spear and Crescent Axe both compliment this weapon very well.

maybe this weapon would actually be good after catacombs if it had any ****in scaling increases. should up to at least a high b, or maybe low b phys and a fth

Sword with neat model like this and cool sheath had to be an early game weapon that quickly gets realy bad. Meanwhile the FIRST STEPS of the blender user known as Balder Side Sword is a god tier straight sword. This must be a joke.

this would get my vote for worst weapon in the game, the only thing that could be worse would be maybe a dagger or something. its impressive that a weapon which upgrades with twinkling titanite can be this bad, since normally thats a good thing, this is basically a **** black knight weapon that you can always get guaranteed, but thats also very bad, you get what you pay for i guess.

It's a great weapon to challenge yourself when you git gud and find the game too easy with the better options.

This thing served me quite well up to Sen's Fortress. Especially great for clearing out the Catacombs.
Sure, there's eventually going to be better Divine weapons out there, but this thing performed when I needed it to right out of the box, and it only cost me 1 DEX and some abundant, easily farmed upgrade materials.

****.. I wasted all my Twinkies on this and it doesn't seem very good. The only good thing is the lightning staggers and I look like a professional knight of the round table. At least it's fast I guess?

Good weapon until you can get hands on better faith scalling weapons like the Crescent Axe, also not worth it to waste the twinkling titanites on this

Seems like a cruel joke seeing how useless this weapon is. You have to dedicate your entire build around this weapon for it to be of any use, and even then it loses any semblance of usefulness once you're maybe 1/3 of the way into the game.

You can upgrade this weapon pretty fast once you first get it (there's a few guides on Youtube and such) so it isn't too bad for early game. Solid pick for the Catacombs due to innate divine dmg, for anyone who didn't already know this lol.
