The Storm Curved Sword is a soul-transposed curved sword in Dark Souls III.
In-Game Description
- Curved sword imbued with the strength of the Stormdrake.
- The Nameless King, ally of the ancient dragons, fought beside the Stormdrake in countless battles. When the great beast fell, the king claimed his soul, as was the custom in the age of the gods.
- Skill: Tornado
Imbue blade with the wrath of storm in a spinning motion, and follow with a strong attack to bear that wrath upon foes.
Availability
Obtained by transposing the Soul of the Nameless King with Ludleth of Courland at a cost of 5,000 souls.
Characteristics
The Storm Curved Sword is a weighty blade, firmly classifying as a heavy curved sword with the Falchion moveset and sharing many characteristics with the Carthus Curved Sword.
It has a long reach and moderate damage, though care should be exercised while wielding this weapon, as it consumes more stamina than most other heavy curved swords. Because it is a soul-transposed weapon it cannot take advantage of infusions and is thus a quality weapon that does not benefit from very high levels of Dexterity. Its skill is a stronger variant of the Falchion Spin Slash, and is capable of dealing an impressive amount of damage should it connect.
