How to Use Great Stars

The Healing Gives Sustain

This weapon heals you whenever you strike an enemy, even if they block. It will heal for every swing and every instance of damage, so an Ash of War like Prelate's Charge is very effective in gaining a lot of health back.

If wielded with another Great Stars and powerstancing both of them, both instances of damage will heal you.

Pair With Any Damaging Ash of Ash

What's amazing about this weapon is that any damaging Ash of War, even if it's magic-based will heal you. Poison Mist will heal as long as the enemy is within the mist's area, while an offensive Ash of War like Hoarfrost Stomp or Golden Land will apply the heal to every instance of damage.

That means that the Ash of War that can be applied to this weapon is largely flexible, making it's builds versatile.
