PassiveLeda's Sword is a Light Greatsword in Elden Ring. It is a brand new Light Greatsword in the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC. The Leda's Sword scales primarily with Strength, Dexterity and Faith and is a good alternative for Faith builds.
Light greatsword with gold inlaid. Weapon of Leda, the Needle Knight. Deals holy damage. Though polished to a mirror sheen, this blade still reeks with the stench of crusted blood that lingers from the cull of her knightly comrades.

An absolute banger of a weapon. I would have Liles slightly higher faith scaling, but it still rocks. It's a shame you get it so late into the dlc, i would have used it from the start and it would not have come off.

The "I only have one weapon and only do crutch of the patch" weapon.
Sexy enough to make me, a perpetual Strength main, re-allocate my points for a Dexterity build. Strong enough to make it worth it. I can hardly even blame Nutso Knight Leda anymore; if I had an awesome weapon like this, I couldn't resist the urge to just use it on anything and anyone without provocation, either.

You're upset it's not a faith only weapon. I'm upset because I cannot put Wing Stance on this absolute beauty.
We are not the same.

this thing could be as useful as a torch and I’d still use it, it’s that pretty of a weapon

Man why can’t we just have some good faith only weapons why do they always have to be dex/str faith

this is a god tier weapon for gank squard by now.
the weapon skill CAN REMOVE ALL BUFF.
what do you think if Law of Regression can do damage and not remove your buff but all physick and buff from invader are all gone.

Pretty slick weapon. Much more heavily weighted to dex scaling than faith, but holds its own quite well against DLC content at +10 even without an optimized build.
Weapon art has a hitbox on the sword swing as well and does pretty great damage for how fast and lenient it is. Haven't seen its mini-Law of Regression come into play yet, but I imagine it'll be quite potent in PVP.
Give it a whirl, light greatswords are pretty great and Leda's is no exception.

Weapon's pretty fun to use (like all Light Greatswords) and definitely viable, even at the final boss of the DLC who has some holy negation. I actually just spammed the weapon art most of the time and it honestly kinda carried me ngl (without ashes or summons). It can whiff if you use it as the boss is moving as they aren't exactly homing (if at all.)
It's not a meta definer but I was reminded once again not to put much stock into early wiki comments who call something bad without trying it myself haha.

Haven't tested this one yet since I'm taking my sweet time and not in that part of the game yet BUT Light greatswords are my new fav kind of weapon and I've been testing the Milady and Rellana twins swords heavily and *chef kiss* love those.

Did I need to complete the questline? I'm stuck with freyja letter absence and ansbach already disappeared

They made three Light Greatswords
Gave us this one at the very END of the game
And made it suck
Why does Fromsoft not get the flak it deserves?

Not super strong, but completely reasonable at 60 dex, and has the advantage of being very fashionable.

Is it worth levelling up faith past min requirement for this weapon?
I'm doing a DEX/ARC build with only a few points to spare but this looks soo sick

If I had a nickel for every time a Faith based weapon had better scaling in dex then faith, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice. (Sacred Relic Sword)

I was so excited for this weapon and man is it actually bad. You only get it at the end of the dlc too by doing the quest line for Leda and at the max upgrade it still just doesn't do any dmg same for the ash of war. Faith feels so awful in elden ring it's crazy.

Underrated weapon. Scaling isn't great but fully maxed with the right talismans and I am sitting at 1080 AR with only +8 scadu frags. l2 also hits decently hard with shard of alexander.
Also, great in duels.
