      Behold, the new pvp try hard weapons. Wanna tell everyone you are bad at pvp? Don't use moonveil or rivers of blood or even be decked out in bullgoat armor, use the new backhand blade! Ridiculous damage and all the I-frames you want.

      • I've seen many ppp say str builds are actually the best but everytime something seems to be broken at least in pvp (rivers, moonveil, backhand blades, dual curved and naginata) it's always a dex weapon. Hm......

        • Anonymous

          yall pvp players will get over this weapon once swift slash gets nerfed, but pve players will still keep them insane lunge r2s for bosses til the end of time. unironically the best pve rl1 no bleed weapon for getting in hits mid combo and stance breaking from 20m away

          • Anonymous

            these are insanely fun, and I think pretty fairly balanced vs. dual curved swords. their AR is pretty crazy keen infused, and idk how the weight is so low. I thought Ornamental Straight Sword was crazy for blue dancer charm builds, being two swords with 3 weight, these are even stronger and lighter

            • Anonymous

              These, pure dex build, blue dancer talisman, prisoner shirt, waifu character model. Very satisfying glass canon, for sure theyre very strong but if you play without summons it feels very balanced and enough of a challenge to still have to actually try against most bosses like the older games.

                The standing uncharged R2 recovery seems bugged. I tested on the backhand blades and the curseblade cirque. In both cases, the charged R2 heavy attack's recovery is easily canceled into a roll. It has the recovery you would expect, so to say. Uncharged however, spamming roll will not result in the character canceling the recovery into a roll, instead staying in the extremely long 'attack into standing' animation that all weapons have if no input is used after an attack. I hope this gets fixed, cause the R2 looks really cool!

                  As someone who doesn’t do PvP and only does PvE and Co-Op this weapon is fine, its move set is cool and it’s a nice addition to the game.

                      People are out of their mind. Maybe in pvp it is strong probably because people don't know how to handle it yet, but for normal game? No stronger than many other options, bosses will poise through this no issue, no hyper armor on attacks, and their range is very short. This weapon isnt going to carry you anywhere in SotE unless you think being good against regular mobs is somehow op?

                        The section explaining where to find the weapon "not far from the first site of grace" is a bit misleading. Change it to "not far from the Scorched Ruins site of grace"

                            When I was playing Wo Long I thought to myself that every weapons makes you feel cool, but souls weapons have very basic boring movesets. They did a good job with these DLC weapons, cool movesets, fun to use.

                                Everyone talking about it being OP or whatever and I'm just wondering what's going on with its weight? 2.0, the average dagger weight, but it's two swords

                                  Needs a nerf in PvP, sure i'm a caster, least I flip through my spells to find cool ones to use in the situation. Nothing beats this but AoE's and AoE's are obvious and not even approached.

                                        This has an advantage that other backhand blades do not: Pierce damage, and knowing counterstrikes exist, it shreds in pvp

                                          You know how every endgame boss in this game/dlc has multiple 10 hit attack strings you have to dodge for minutes before you're allowed to get one R1 in? Rejoice! This allows you to live that power fantasy.

                                            I think the regular (not charged) R2 on this weapon is bugged.

                                            You can't roll out of the recovery animation, but you can do literally anything else, attack, jump, Ash-of-war. It's the only thing in the moveset that does this and it's not a fast recovery animation. If you are trying to roll after R2, you will get hit by even the slowest of attacks.

                                              Dragon build seemed fun but your low stats in strength, dex and endurance has been making things difficult? Don't want to rely on bleed either? Well look no further. These bad boys get A scaling in Occult and pull more than enough damage to make up for the deficit.

                                              Not sure if I recommend blind spot 100% of the time though. Great against enemy mobs but hasn't been very helpful against bosses

                                                Same poison build on these has beaten me 4 times in a row.
                                                I have no idea how to escape the 2nd hit on the weapon Art.

                                                Eats up shields as if they are not even there.

                                                  Incredible weapon, everyone is complaining it’s OP asking for nerfs already but the disadvantages and the advantages balance it!

                                                    Thanks to this weapon, PVP is officially cooked. The colisseums are no longer fun, time to move on to other games

                                                      Started the DLC with a Strengh build. Funny how this pair of weapon screams pure Dex or Dex + Int/Arc, and give you an unique AoW, but let you infuse it in Heavy with a A scalling.
                                                      Rellana was enable to recover from it.
                                                      It's like the game is telling us : it's gonna carry you, whatever your build.

                                                        Discovered this after I'd already gotten to (SPOILER) shadow keep and beaten Golden Hippo, but holy **** this thing is so good. After playing so much Sekiro recently, I was really missing a weapon as fast as this one in ER.

                                                          For some reason the 1st 2-handed heavy attack has a really long recovery time but only for dodges/movement, its fine for other attacks though (including Blind Spot)

                                                            Most Broken weapon in Souls history. Either they nerf this or everyone is FORCED to play it since they are to broken. You have infinite pressure (speed, forward momentum, fame traps) and on top of that very good damage. They have to bring a hot fix patch, this game will be unplayable in arena or invasions if they leave it like that. It is just crazy how they not even test anything before releasing the weapons. There is no way somebody desgined this crap and was like "yep this is amazing and will bring a lot of joy" like what is this??? This is worse than murkery in DS3

                                                              lots of forward momentum and multihits, with a good enough weapon range. both running attacks are incredible.

                                                              • Whoever designed this weapon said "f#ck it, I'm going all in." Speed, range, forward momentum, solid scaling, versatile moveset both 1h and DW with no recovery on RR1 and comes with a broken ash of war. This thing will be nerfed for PvP.

                                                                  • Anonymous

                                                                    • Absolute powerhouse of a weapon, my favorite DLC weapon so far, don't sleep on this.

                                                                      S scaling with keen, solid A scaling with heavy, high B/B with quality.

                                                                      Solid DPS when dual wielded, fast running heavy attack that is a quadruple hit, stacking winged rotten insignia, millicent and/or cracked tear quickly.

                                                                      Best part is the weapon art : "Blind Spot" possesses i-frames on cast (feels as much as a dodge roll so far to my experience), which dodges AND attacks at the same time (damages are very good at around 900 with shard of alexander), allowing a very aggressive playstyle. Being able to dodge and attack at the same time is absolutely broken, I cannot emphasize on this enough. Not to mention weapon art also deals good poise damage, which with said aggressive playstyle will stagger bosses quite easily. Did I mention it also only costs 9 FP ?
                                                                      This weapon art will probably get nerfed, because honestly it has no downside except that you cannot use it in very quick succession, unlike normal dodge rolls.

                                                                      Cherry on top : it looks badass af! I absolutely love it!

So satisfying to use, so stylish and one of the most well rounded weapons, also thanks to the killer AoW.

                                                                                    • Anonymous

This thing has S scaling on dex when keen infused and the moveset has some awesome AoE and gap-closing properties. The default ash of war trivializes most stronger encounters, mainly knights because it pierces shields but also bosses since it allows you to dodge their attacks while doing serious damage. This thing carried me through Rellana
