Characteristics[]
As a curved greatsword, it benefits from strong hyper armor and an excellent moveset. It is the lightest of its class and has a unique quirk of having a bleed modifier, adding an additional layer of pressure when against any opponent. Because of this, it can be used in myriad of ways that most other weapons cannot. You can buff it with Carthus Rouge, which can allow it to be a useful bleed weapon, or apply different resins or bundles to increase its damage, while still having bleed as an additional tool for pressure.
