      Ironic how straight swords, greatswords and axes have cutting edges yet dont deal slash damage. They do standard damage (what would "standard" damage even actually be? Slash, stike and pierce basically covers it all)

        Surprised fallingstar beasts are not resistant to slash but are resistant to strike even though they are basically rock. God I wish fromsoft wasn't so backwards/obscure/inconsistent/outright liars. Too many items either don't do what they say (steel torch- doesn't raise fire, nox helmet-not vulnerable to strike, jellyfish greatshield - not vulnerable to pierce) or don't list what they really do (how of shabiri-doesn't inform the player of damage buff and defense debuff).

          Could someone alphabetize that list, or sort it by weapon type, or at least tell us where you're supposed to find this info in game? Cuz between this wiki and the game, it's horribly unclear.

            Doesn't appear terribly useful in pvp due to the passive poise meta, and doing extra damage against lightly armored enemies seems kinda redundant.

            Anecdotally, most slash weapons seem to inflict bleed so maybe that's the niche I guess.
