Very awesome weapon, I completely missed it last time I played DS1 and found it after I got bored with DS3, and now I wish that it would've been as good in DS3 as it is in DS1.

By far my favorite weapon in the game. I have it maxed out with no special effects & it kills almost every enmy within 2 strikes.

This thing is off the hook. God tier range of spears, but with sweeping attacks and better tracking. Swing speed and damage comparable to a great sword. Critical multiplier will outdamage the Balder Side Sword, Uchikatana, Priscilla's Dagger, Gold Tracer, or Silver Tracer at similiar upgrade levels and and dexterity. Shields? How about bleed build up. Also, completely buff-able. I missed this thing in the original, but toyed with it in the remaster, where I easily went off on two separate 70+ win streaks in arena duels. Wondering why I rarely, if ever, see this god tier weapon amongst 1,000 Giant Dad, Dark Bead spam, or Wrath of Gods spam builds.

Except that it only has two viable attacks and leaves you wide open to backstabs.

Leaves you wide open to backstabs but it does such high damage that you'll come out on top if you trade with low backstab damage weapons. Especially if you upgrade it with crystal.
If you're against a weapon with high backstab damage, well Gold Tracer compliments this well

Using this for too long makes you tend to forget the difference between those endowed with the power of lords, and corn.

the r1 is trash and super slow. Reminds me of the greataxe category in ds3.

I agree I don't see the hype around it. So slow and clunky. Leaves you open to free backstabs.
