It’s not a Collosal Weapon. But it hits like one. I put Lions Claw on it with Heavy Affinity and it just flattens everything. Just like the Giants Crusher. But a lot faster. Massive poise damage. I love it.

    I ran dual greathammers with this and the smith’s hammer that you can throw. One of the most fun builds I’ve ever played, insane damage and surprisingly fast for such a heavy build.

      Did it get nerfed too? Like the other smithscript weapons? I tried the Spear yesterday at the Church of Ella’s cuz that one soldier of godrick patrolling nearby. Not only is the damage ass with the charged R1. But it has roughly the same throwing arc as a pot. It’s fkin useless.

      I thought it might be good for sniping. Baiting out enemies. Nope.

    I’ve just been humbled by Bayle… I think Igon out-DPS’d me.

    I guess 5 Ski Doo points isn’t enough for him.

    I’ve been rocking the black steel twinblade. That thing is amazing in a quality build.

        Man, you weren’t kidding. Sacred affix pretty much doubled the dps on it. I’m worried about two types of damage and absorbs by bosses but I’m definitely going to try this out. Thanks for the tip!

          I read the weapon description saying something about holy amplifying the power so I started experimenting a bit with it. I landed on using sacred blade to continuously apply extra holy with the special move instead of using grease. It absolutely destroys undead stuff. There may be a better choice too, since I’m running a fresh character I’m missing some ashes, but anything that gives it the extra grease aura should rock.

            So here’s what I just did. I kept sacred blade after testing the other sacred ashes of war. Then I changed my build to be a quality build and the weapon to be quality but sacred blade ash of war. Now I have more base dps and can use greases but also I can pump up the dps with sacred blade L2 when I need it. Also I can swap to flame skewer when I need it to keep just about the same dps. This is why I love this twinblade. Good moveset and it works with so many good ashes.

            I tried crucible wings too and that was fun but seems a bit niche.

              Sounds like a solid plan. Really I keep messing with most of the new weapons I find, so now I just whip this back out whenever I encounter a bunch of undead.

              Wings were a little disappointing actually. Every once in awhile I would get some good hits with it, but half the time I would just fly right past the enemy and it was useless then.
