Dark Souls 3 Best Dexterity Weapon? 

The best dex weapon is an ultra great sword. Strength wins again

A curved greatsword is the best strength weapon. An ultra greatsword is the best dexterity weapon. Why does it feel so wrong?

>Best dexterity weapon is a greatsword Looks like strength always wins in the end bois.

Easily my favorite weapon ever since I started DS3. Reliable weapon all around.

yeah with 60 Dex and 30 strength and leo ring I did 1240 damage with a single charged R2. it was dumb.

You leveled dex REEEEEEEE!!!! In all seriousness, that's pretty awesome, I might go pick it up for my dex sorc, and see if I can't make that work

You should be putting your life ring into the first slot, to hasten the quickswap to the sun pincess' ring

Right now I'm using the Crystal Astora Greatsword. With 50 intelligence, 25 Dex, 25 Strength, and the Loyds sword ring, I get about 760 AR out of it. The charged R2's on this thing one shot almost everyone. Definitely my favorite weapon.

I love using this weapon with my Dex faith build. I do a ton of damage with lightning blade on the Greatsword

I actually considered the viability of a sharp Astora Greatsword and was considering it for a build. Having this show up in my recommendations is like a message from the Gods lmao thanks for this video. Even though it was made 3 years ago, thank you

Also works great on Intelligence builds too due to it getting an S with Crystal.

IMO definitely the best ultra great sword in the game! So many different variety you can infuse this weapon that correlates with your class! Lightning gem gives it a S scaling on faith and the crystal gem gives it a S scaling on int! SMH way too OP!!!!!

I love this weapon. I made a tank that stacked poise and used iron flesh for combo weapons and blessed weapon for a buff and it was GODLY. I'm working on an updated version right now.

This weapon is pretty universal, i reached 700 AR on dark infusion with 50/40 int and faith and blindfold mask while having stats close to mininal stat requirements and its pretty damn good

I use an astora dex build as well, no spells & grass crest slung over my shoulder along with cloranthy ring & black bow of pharis as my secondary as a harassment & spacing tool, heal or cast punish & to finish runners. I also have on milk ring for rolling shenanigans. This weapon is alot of fun.

just discovered you :P thaha awesome channel btw 3:29 for the people using this. very important :P you see a ton of people just throwing that weapon art around

I'm at SL106 and currently going 40dex/40fth. Also, have 25 Vitality. With lightning and oath sunlight buff, I get around 800 AR. My high vitality build allows me to run a high grade armor and the grass crest shield for parry/better stamina regen along with the sunlight sword for both buffs and mixups(although you don't really need it with how great astora is lol). I do have 18 Attunement because I actually made this build to support my friend who is new in pve. So I have Lightning Blade, a heal spell and a flex spell. Also sometimes use a ring to increase attunement slot. Overall, it's amazing

Played this thing with a quality build a few months ago. I think I've never oneshotted so many people with this and leo ring. It's crazy good.

I know this is old, and I don't know if there have been buffs or changes to the weapon and/or weapon buffs, but in my dex-int build (60+5 dex and 35 int) my sharp Astora Greatsword with CMW has 750AR. My highest damage weapon when buffed and I'm in love with it

You should revisit Gotthard's Twinswords too, they've been reworked to be a pretty serious Dex weapon. A 40/40 Gotthard's with refined will have 389 AR, but a 12/60 sharp Gotthard's will have 387 AR which depending on your starting class will give you noticeably more levels to play with which is worth the 2 less AR. And as fyi, 12/70 sharp Gotthard's is 407 AR, 12/75 is 415 AR, and 12/80 is 422 AR which is *really* good for a paired weapon since you're hitting multiple times with each L1. I would say probably best way to go is 12/70 and use the extra points from putting dex higher into faith so you can cast blessed weapon because 407 x 1.075 = 437 which is even higher AR than the 12/80 version.

Love your Videos Chase keep up the great work

I'm a scrub and I got DS3 a few weeks ago. This is the weapon I use most of the time. The S scaling is AMAZING! Although I might need to respec, my stats are all over the place.

The rolling attack is no more count as a thrust since the Astora patch (like 6 months ago)

If you infuse a drakblood greatsword with dark it gets a C scaling in faith and intelligence, but the scaling goes towards the dark damage as well as the lightning and magic for over 700 AR total. (can be increased with self buffs +clutch rings to get even higher) I know it's split damage (most of it dark), but it's a decent weapon to throw on a hex or pyro build with 40 faith and intelligence.

I think the best dex weapon is Midir's katana, the damage and combos you can do with it, are just insane, badass, and cool looking

DO POWER WITHIN also time lunge attacks with Leo ring. I had blessed + power within Astora GS and hit 2340 with charged R2 who had havels armor.

I bet if he did a 40 Dex 60 faith build he would still have enough points for a good amount of endurance, vigor, and like 20 attunement then he could buff it with either darkmoon blade or lightning blade getting like at least 700+ damage and hed have the attunement slots to use sunlight spear and lightning arrow and with 40 dex cast speed would be good

even if it wasnt worth it to have the buff it makes it look so cool that it's still worth it.

I can kill anyone in three hits. *Shows killing a guy in four hits.* 🤔

Awesome man. Will definitely look into making a build around this weapon or at least messing around with it

This weapon's a godsend for Dex hybrid builds. My Greatsword of Judgement & Dragonslayer Swordspear mains fall back on the Astora GS all the time.

I was just thinking about the Astora Greatsword and first video that comes up is this!!

It should have been back in elden ring 😭

I get completely BONKERS damage with this. 40 dex- 50 faith build with dark moon blade. Can switch between buff/tears build, regen build and offensive miracle build to mix things up. Lots of fun weapons.

Sell sword twin blades+dark blade=greatness

I feel in love with this weapon when i used it as a storm faith build my first playthrough!

Glad I'm not the only one that uses Blessed Weapon (Anything 500 AR, or above. Like the Heavy Mace, 2H with 66 Strength seems to be the break point. Unless it's Split Damage, AND Buffable. In which case, go with the same elemnet, but how many Buffable split damage weapons are there without Force Casting?) Just gonna say Herald. 2 levels higher than a Merc with the same stats, but you basically get those in Vitality, so you can have a little more Poise. There's very Very few builds where Herald is a viable class, so I like pointing out when I see one. That 12 Attunement is kinda wasted, and 8-15 Faith is a massive investment for 1 spell. Even one that pulls double duty like BW.

so its best to use sharp over refined for my 40/40 str/dex build?

Make an updated astora gs vid!!!

I was actually using lighting blade on that weapon as refined , 40 dex 40 strength , 35 faith for the buff and i was getting 708 AR Now i use darkmoon blade , sharp gem with 55 dex 22 strength 45 faith an i get 803 AR

its also amazing on faith builds since it gets s scaling with blessed or lightning infusion

Chase your builds don't matter. Even the starting class Soul levels are considered amazing builds in your hands

615ar? I’m not sure if it really matters but... On my first play through of dark souls one I focused on strength and was able to get the black knight great sword at undead parish, after a few hours of using it I had finally risen to sl. 50 and I did well over 590dmg per swing. Now, I have more than fifty strength its heavy attack does dmg into the 700 to 800. Long story short: Dark souls 3: Sl.120 = 615ar Dark souls Remastered: Sl.50 = 798ar

Is blessed weapon worth it for pve

Notification squad :D,, DID I inspire u do do this video yesterday :D?

Nice. What song was that at the end?

Best UGS in the whole souls series. I fucking love this thing!

Been using this sword with my paladin regen build in the SL 140s since launch. Was thinking of going to SL 170 for higher dex so I can just destroy people. :3

Oh the feels when u spec a entire invaders hp

I really don’t want to run into this mans

That charge attack tho 0.o ... Very nice!

Try bleed infusion. It gives it 98 bleed proc. On people with no armor can trigger bleed in one hit.

Hey chase, could you give me your opinion on the fact that i leveld my character to 129 without knowing the meta thing? Am i really missing out on stuff if i want to focus on invasions and arena? i seem to find matches for arena quite fast anyway but maybe i have less people to invade.

I agree that this is the best Dex weapon in DS3 the only one that rivals it is the marakumo the only reason I say it rivals It is because it has the same damage but it has worse scaling in strength but if u like the spin slash weapon are better then the charge then I should use it but because the Astora Greatsword has better Strength scaling it does slightly more damage and the charge weapon art is my favorite offensive weapon art in the game I personally use crystal weapon on it but any buff is good

lotric knight SS best Dex weapon

I went with a chaos gem and with intelligence and faith build and I love it

I wonder what the AR difference would be netween the 661 buff and if you put those stat points to be able to use the buff into dex instead. I think you would be saving 3 points. With s scaling ot should mke that 617 atleast 640 ish (im not sure of the returns on scaling at that high level. So im guessing) But if its close, id just go that route. Only for efficiency. If ar is still high enough to 3 shot anyway. But im loving this sword. Just started using it today. Only had enough materials to upgrade 1 weapon to +4 and i almost did lothric knight sword. Glad i chose this one. Im crushing enemies with shields when they used to crush me. (I sick at the game)

I love this kind of build with this weapon

@ChaseTheBro I was only getting 44 damage with R1 (using PS4), and the sword was slow as hell until I reached 16 strength. Has it just changed since this video was posted?

I have 720 in this weapon one hand buffed with light dex is 65 and str is 65 also

you should do a pro build with a chaos infused exile great sword.. it wrecks

This is class his voice Is different , but the skill is still huge, ur an animal Chase, motivates me to become a murderer..,. In game I mean 😮😂😂

pro video with my favorite weapon, have a like and a sub, sir.

Is it good to infuse early or should you wait until your dex in this case is on the higher end?

Wouldn't you get similar dmg with a quality build ? B-B scaling wouldn't be far off S-dex I'm thinking.

Sharp lothric greatsword with lighting blade after using sunlight sword sacred oath I'm doing 951 ar

i finally got this Blade but iam not sure what infusion it should get Sharp or Lightning iam playing a Dex/Faith and want to join the Darkmoonblades for its Buff and Beauty? I wanted Lightning first because of its S-Rank in Faith but the Wikia says that Lightning infused Weapons and other Element Infused Weapons arent able to be Buffed by Spells/Consumables so would be a Sharp Infusion better or is the Wikia not up to date?

I had a lot of fun with this build today and went on a win streak of 6 wins☺️☺️☺️ the only downside to this you have to two hand the weapon😞😞😞

Is the astora ultra great sword nerfed? Because it no longer have a s scaling in dex.. it should be s scaling if you fused it with sharp right? My +10 astora only have A scaling

Just wondering, wouldn't it get a higher AR and therefore more damage (even factoring in split damage) if you have less DEX but go for 30 FTH and use Sunlight/Darkmoon Blade? I mean Blessed Weapon "only" gives ~50 AR, doesn't seem like that much of an improvement

It scales well with faith too

You don't need to meet talisman requirements to use blessed weapon to its full effect

New bass cannon? You don't need str requirements, you two hand it, it deals a lot of damage and it is a damn ultra greatsword

It for sure is very good weapon!

2020 here still good ?

I am new here and have silly question.... why do you have 11 Str when the sword Req 16 ?... do you got from somewhere that 5 str

I'm about to help a friend go through the game and I need to make a whole new build. I think I know what kinda build I'm going for now.

So in case if i want find decent pvp i dont need to raise lvl more than 120? Or 101?

it has A scaling on my game? was i tnerfed or does it become S whenn you upgrade it enough?

Don't tell anyone you leveled up Strength

I wonder if I sharp infuse it and buff with darkmoon blade, 40/60/yoshka vs 60/40/canvas which one would have highest AR?

I love this U-Greatsword, my favourite weapon in the game! Someone should forge it in real life as well, I'd buy that shit.

Laughs in Sharp Astora Great Sword

ive been using darkmoon blade on mine and getting 730 ar at 50 dex

what song is that in the background?

I have a scimitar +6 sharp and it's has an S dex too and I have 45 dex and I am not LV 120 yet.

When i used this i put a chaos gem kn it and my ar was like 715 butttt it might just be the stuff i put my levels into

Can someone answer some pvp questions please?

I thought it had a bad move set and sold it right away. Pontiff knight curved sword for life.

Some argue the best is tge frayed blade, what do you think? can a frayed blade stand up to the Astora?

I tried this weapon with chaos infusion some time ago, but i barely did damage with it. Wanna try this now lol

You should try the drang spears

Why saint talisman?? The blessed weapon buff doesn't scale with spell buff, right? And I think regular talisman poise cast is better....is it because of dated video?

How are you weilding when you don't have the minimum str requirement? Why it's not showing 'x' mark for you?

Idk why but mine isnt scaling well at all. Im only gettjng one point every time i level up my dex.

I have a moonlight GS with an AR of 674, 60 int 30 strength and 30 dex, its nasty if combined with soul greatsword

my favorite is the lothric knight ultra great sword, Claymore greatsword, Farron greatsword, and Wolf knight greatsword😀😀😀😀😀😀

So with a quality build (40/40) it would do more damage if I used a sharp gem rather than a refined? How big is the difference?

im rly new and just got the great sword and infused it with sharp gem to get A scaling with dex,did it get nerfed? Wiki still says it gets S scaling with sharp gem

2019... better with darkmoon blade or blessed weapon ? Cuz my ar is 603 with BW. But 819 with DmB
