Horsecutter Best Enchantment

Cull the Herd

Cull the Herd is the better choice, enhancing the Full Combo Attack to also inflict Stun and Bleed on nearby enemies. This is particularly useful since fighting multiple foes is a frequent occurrence.

In comparison, Felling Parry offers less utility. Its parry buff only adds high Stun to the attacking enemy, but parrying already provides significant Stun without this bonus. Additionally, choosing Felling Parry removes the Full Combo Attack buff, which is its best strength.

Horsecutter Overview

Horsecutter	Information
	Weapon Type: Great Sword Class: Unique Weight: 8.5
Description
How this elegantly-made greatsword earned such a vicious name is a story that few know, After the Dyrwoodans secure their independence from Aedyr, many soldiers turned to banditry or mercenary work to earn their keep. This weapon belonged to one such soldier-turned-outlaw who amassed a sizable following of fellow displaced Aedyrans. This gang of brigands eventually found its way to Ixamitl where horses are numerous. When food became scarce, the outlaws turned to raiding villages and farms for their horses to keep fed. These outlaws supposedly met their end when an unnaturally large and aggressive herd of horses came seemingly out of nowhere and trampled them into the ground before vanishing into the plains as quickly as they had appeared.
