It is perhaps the best one-handed sword in the game. This heavy-hitting ability, combined with the much speedier move set and lighter weight of a straight sword, makes the Dark Sword a fearsome blade indeed.
It allows players to assume a low stance which high poise (very hard to interrupt and stagger) and then unleash a spinning slash strong attack. Stomp, for those not yet au fait with advanced duelling techniques, is normally reserved for Greatswords and Ultra Greatswords. The signature blade of the terrifying Darkwraith NPC invaders, it boasts a unique vertical slash heavy attack, and is the only sword with the Stomp weapon art. The Dark Sword is one of the most popular weapons in Dark Souls 3 as of 1.03, because it is rad.
