How to Use Claymore

Good Weapon for Quality Builds

The Claymore has a B scaling in both Strength and Dexterity, making it an ideal weapon for quality builds. This means that it benefits from the scaling of both attributes.

Take Advantage of Thrusts

The Claymore's R2 and rolling or crouching attacks are thrusts, which means that it's useful in tight spaces where other similar weapons use swings.

It also means that it benefits from the enchanced damage from the Spear Talisman if timed correctly, and due to its long reach will be able to roll catch other players in PvP.
