I'd argue that either power standing or two handing is better than one handing a straight sword. For the non-nerds, power stancing is a special move set that you get when you dual wield two weapons of the same type. @ColonelKillaBee One-handing a straight sword is good if you use a shield with "No Skill" on it. Lots of great ashes of war for straight swords. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love how much works with this game and i know doc said he got rid of his halberd but maaaan I love that thing for certain fights. And switching between it and the longsword is quite nice early on too. Im killing lesser bosses now first try without any real effort like in this cave I wandered into, Morte mines.

ColonelKillaBee Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 Idk tho, halberd was good to poke at the boss while i studied the moveset with my shield but lol once I knew it I put that shit up and let the longsword hang.

I held onto the halberd for quite a long while on my first playthrough. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have tons of options. Except for bows. They are handy for utility, like drawing aggro from a range, but they are trash in combat. Whips and flails are functional, but they could use a buff as well. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Good Doctor Posted December 26, 2022 Author Share Posted December 26, 2022 In fact, who is your favorite boss in Limgrave/Weeping Peninsula without including Stormveil? Mine is either the Crucible Knight or the Night’s Cavalry with the triple flail. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCzarsHussar Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 (edited) @ColonelKillaBee What build are you going for? My first playthrough started off as Quality/Faith but a little after half way through the game I switched it to Strength/Faith. Halberds are really mean. There's a couple that are absolute monsters. Those like the starting halberd have amazing r1's, while the other moveset had insanely powerful crushing r2's Edited December 26, 2022 by TheCzarsHussar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was when I tried using a halberd against it and couldn't get my party timing down back then. But now? Definitely a tie between him and the Tree Sentinal.
