Good Early Game Weapon

This is a very good early game weapon that can deal good amounts of damage in the early game with its fast slashing and pierce attacks. It deals a fair amount of damage to Poise, capable of staggering most enemies in a few hits. Two-handing this weapon will increase the damage of its attacks.

Infusable with Ashes of War

This weapon can be infused with compatible Ashes of War and is equipped with Square Off as its default weapon skill. This skill when activated puts the user in a readied stance, a normal attack input will perform an upward slash while a strong attack input will unleash a running forward thurst.
