Curved Swords | Elden Ring Wiki

the multihit attacks make these pretty easy to parry if powerstanced, even with a crappy connection

Two best curved swords in the game: a rusted pile of **** and a blade so chipped it doesn't even have a proper edge.

It is said, if you manage to fist only the entire game with your bare hands, and i mean the ENTIRE game so stuff like rykard, malenia, mohg aswell, you will unlock the wondrous Pontiff Knight Curved Sword on all characters which has a S in all stats, even in Vigor!

It makes no sense at all that they use the stabbing animation for critical hits if they can't actually do piercing damage, they should be either made Slash/Pierce damage or change the critical hit animation to the 2 part slash like the Curved Greatswords

Submit

so when I look at the max between Fire and flame art.. why the **** should I use Fire? flame art has more physical AND fire damage.

Dual bandit's dex build, is it good?

Submit

So when you hit stone-type enemies (miners, stonetroll etc) with dual-wielded L1 or one-handed R1 it always bounces off. Two-handed R1 works fine. Does it always work like that or do I need 50% extra stat requirements like in Dark Souls 2?

So, how does anyone feel about the nox flowing curved sword? Please reply

People always talk about the powerstance moveset with these, but they also have a really satisfying and effective guard counter.

PKCS is way better than all these shitty weapons. I only use a real man’s sword the PKCS

Submit

i miss blind :( garbage damage but it was the best looking curved sword fromsoft has made (runners up are gold tracer and followers sabre)

Submit

I'm working on hacking the pkcs into the game in a legit fashion so I can stomp on all you roll spammers with a guaranteed roll catch

Submit

i miss pkcs guy

they should have just made the final boss the PKCS man, would've been a better fight than the two stooges radagon and elden noob

Double Seppuku and T-bagging ahead.

How is does the max heavy infused falchion have more ar than a max heavy infused beastman cs and serpent god cs? While also having an A strength scaling?

Aside from the occasional embarrassing moment where your swords are just a little too stumpy to hit your target, dual-wielded curved swords are super fun in PvE. High damage output, lots of combos, a number of viable infusion paths you can tailor to whatever area or boss you're facing -- what's not to love?

Submit

the pkcs is still the best weapon made by fromsoftware


if they bought back the carthus curved sword pre nerf we would all be shitting our panties

Submit

I can PvP and PvE with the two-handed moveset just fine, in fact I find it safer and more consistent in PvP. Dodging the powerstance running attack and jump is quite easy if you don't panic roll. Saying there's only 3 powerstance attacks that are worth it is wrong. You just need to practice guys.

ADD GREIRAT INTO ELDEN RING AND MAKE HIM SELL PKCS THIS IS A COMMAND NOT A REQUEST

were is pkcs man this days

Submit

Dear fromsoft please add pkcs with your dlc or I will switch to Rob and make everyone loathe it

Submit

From went to lengths to ensure these were not the PVP machines they were in 3, hoo boy. These things have one move and one move only, powerstance running L1. Which is a pretty good move. But also, I can hit someone for over 1000 with a running L1, and then proceed to miss five in a row right in their face while they're doing nothing to defend themselves, and the next one that actually connects deals less than 200. Wildly inconsistent. I've had markedly better success with katana, thrusting swords, and straight swords.

Submit

You see those warriors from hammerfell? They've got curved swords, CURVED. SWORDS.

Submit

Dual curved sword running attack is really frustrating to play against in pvp for me. Comes out really quickly, and the range is also really deceptive, since the player gets kind of a boost of speed and lunges forward when using it. Very easy to be roll-caught with it, and in situations where you need to run to reposition, it's very hard to avoid getting hit by it, since I think the active frames of the attack are quite long, as opposed to say, dual Great Spears which feel more straightforward to roll-dodge.

Submit

dear pkcs users,

there may not be a new fast curved sword with the range of the pkcs but there is something similar. i introduce you to the wing of astel. although it is a slow curved sword, it r2 which launches a magic slash similar to the moonveil l2 r1 but weaker but yet faster. with some timing it is an efficient roll catching tool to have on your belt. since the wing of astel is an intel scaling weapon it can be paired with a staff with carian slicer. ive ran this set up and it absolutely shreds, carian slicer being you bread and butter attack and let the r2's of the wing of astel do the roll catching then add some spell mixups and combo casting like swift shard to comet or spiral shard, you now then have a powerful and fun build.

Submit

Should I farm 2 Magma Blades and use them or should I use something else with the first Magma Blade?

Submit

Is dual scimitar faster than dual bandit's cs? I mainly use running & jumping L1. Only have dual bandit's cs now.

Submit

There's nothing similar to followers sabre design-wise which makes me sad, I would love to see a Sabre in the DLC

Submit

I really wish there were more options for power stanced shotels

Submit

They all look like ****

GUYS iIhave news of a leaked dlc weapon, a curved word that innately deals frost damage, that's right! in the dlc we are getting a new PKCS!!! also the is a dagger that deals mad stunlock damage, may be murky, ill have to find out.

In my opinion, the ER community has not really tapped into the true potential of curved swords yet.


Curved swords are very light when compared to any other weapon loadout. Any two curved swords will land between 4 and 7 weight total; even power stanced, that is much less weight than any other weapon class.

Curved swords are extremely high dps (arguably highest dps weapons in the game) but have drawbacks: short range, need time to unleash full attack combo, terrible against shields. Most builds I've seen using Curved Swords try to mitigate these weaknesses by just having tons of armor and forcing their way into combat.

Instead, I advocate for adding MORE tools to your arsenal to compensate for weaknesses. The shotel is only 2.0 weight, but it doesn't just have 40% block break - more often than not in the offhand it just goes AROUND shields and pokes enemies in the head causing huge poise damage. It also causes your main hand weapon to NOT bounce against shields, letting you frantically spam L1 in a big pack of enemies with a shield or two among them.

Similarly curved swords have relatively low AR and don't crit for ****. So add a super light dagger in r2.

All curved swords have 82 base bleed at max level and blood infused... so why are you adding blood to scav curved sword? instead have scav curved sword mainhand w/ like, cold or something, still hit that ***** with seppuku, and use any other blood CS with Seppuku for your main offhand, or hit scav sword with bloodflame blade. Need some range? Add a whip or a crossbow.

Due to their light weight you can easily carry 3-4 seperate curved swords with different WA's and affixes for different situations and add even more tools and still come in at less weight than someone using a single Zweihander, or even a straight sword and a shield

Submit

kinda boring how every curved sword has the same r1s

Submit

I just learned that when curved swords are powerstanced you can apply parry to left hand.

This is the happiest I’ve been since launch

Submit

Shamshir was the best for me so far among curved swords

Submit

Anybody have an idea which aow infusible weapon is the best for split damage?

Submit

Where's the PKCS guy?

Submit

very dumb question but which of these would be best for a strength build? i think. it would be quite funny

Submit

i wish dual wielding these wasnt so much stronger than two handing them that it feels stupid to two hand them instead bc curved swords are my favorite but i think dual wielding looks dumb but two handing a curved sword just doesnt feel like it does enough damage

Submit

2 scavenger swords power stance seem pretty good with 1 ice and 1 fire and a well timed run/jump attack.

Submit

these weapons are trash! no PKCS proof that DS3 will always be better than elden ring

Submit

Powerstanced giving you a perfectly timed roll catch with huge forward momentum is about the dumbest **** I've ever seen in a From game.

Submit

Top 3 curved swords are:
1-Beastmans cs
2-Mantis blade
3-Bandits cs
