![]() ![]() Furthermore, Hold provides a strong parry, meaning shields with Weapon Skill can be used without entirely eliminating the option to parry, though the sheathing animation of Hold makes it far less accessible than a shield that can parry on its own.įurthermore, it is the earliest attainable katana in the game, and thus is a good starting weapon for Dexterity builds, though obtaining it from the Sword Master can prove challenging at the start of a playthrough. Its combination of slashes and a powerful thrust on the one-handed strong attack give it a versatile moveset not unlike that of the Long Sword, while the advancing slash of the Hold skill provides an offensive option for closing distance with, or keeping up with, an opponent, as well as a wide horizontal attack that can be useful against multiple opponents, or single agile ones.

Generally they are a tiny bit slower, nearly imperceptibly so when 2 handed. If the class interests you, I'd suggest the curved great sword class. The hyper armor and poise damage make it inadequate for trading against bigger weapons. This entire weapon class generally has straight sword range, but is notably slower. However at meta level, where a great deal of players will have optimized builds and atleast a basic understanding of PvP, I find what should be a balanced weapon between the quick weapons with no hyper armor, and the large weapons with with large amounts of hyper armor and damage. This isn't to say you can't have a great amount of success and fun in terms of PvP and PvE in a casual setting.
