Elden Ring Broadsword Notes & Tips

• Weapon Skill: Square Off
• This weapon can be infused with Ashes of War and buffed with Magic and Consumables.
• Broadsword can be upgraded by using Smithing Stones.
• It's 1H and 2H uncharged R2 is a unique lunging double slash that covers more distance than the old Broadsword. Charging increases the distance you travel even further (and changes the 2nd R2 into another lunging double slash).
• It is worth noting however that the damage and scaling is more comparable to the Short Sword, with a 10str/16dex requirement. The 1st uncharged R2's windup takes some getting used to, but the attack comes out very fast! Arguably safer than the Broadsword's R2 because you cover more ground much faster once you start moving.
• Sell Value:   100 Runes

The Broadsword can be infused with Ashes of War. Click below for a list of all possible Ashes of War that can be applied to the straight sword.
