Best Scarlet Rot Weapons

Weapon Explanation
Elden Ring - Antspur RapierAntspur Rapier ・The only viable option for quick Scarlet Rot procs due to its quick moveset.
・Versatile since it can be infused with Ashes of War, and its Pierce damage is a big bonus as most bosses in the game are weak to this damage type.
・Can be paired with a Greatshield to get a poke build that can proc Scarlet Rot.

Of all the Scarlet Rot weapons in the DLC and base game, the Antspur Rapier remains the best simply because it can proc Scarlet Rot the quickest (especially when spamming its default Ash of War, Impaling Thrust).

Other Scarlet Rot weapons pale in comparison due to their slow movesets paired with low Scarlet Rot buildup values. Even the DLC's Poleblade of the Bud falls short since Scarlet Rot buildup does not scale with Arcane, rendering its innate ARC scaling useless.
