The Bloodhound's Fang is widely considered to be among the game's most powerful Curved Greatswords. In addition to having the third-longest reach available for weapons of its class, it also has an inherent bleed build-up, which contributes to its impressive performance in player versus player combat.

Dynast's Finesse, the weapon's one-of-a-kind ability, is what truly sets it apart as a formidable adversary in player versus player combat. In addition, players have the ability to chain together a true two-hit heavy attack combo if their opponent manages to survive the lunging thrust.

The heavily guarded courtyard inside Stormveil Castle is the location where players can acquire this spear. Because it benefits equally from increases in both Str and Dex, it is an exceptionally powerful weapon. In spite of this, dueling with this weapon is recommended due to the true combo potential it possesses. In addition, certain Ashes of War moves, such as the storm stomp, have the ability to lengthen the combo and give players the opportunity to land an additional off-hand attack. This blade can be acquired by players by making a purchase from the Isolated Merchant in the Weeping Peninsula.

The Guardian's Swordspear is one of the one-of-a-kind Halberds, and its move set, which is primarily comprised of slashes, is identical to that of Loretta's War Sickle.

Additionally, it can be buffed by spells and grease, which further increases its damage output.

Katanas are awesome; the only thing that could make a katana more awesome would be if it was longer. The Nagakiba is one of the longest weapons in the game and scales primarily with both Strength and Dexterity, but it leans more towards Dexterity.

However, the combination of the Nagakiba's reach and the Ashes of War that can be infused into it makes it an excellent weapon for dueling. After completing Bloody Finger Hunter Yura's questline, players will be able to obtain the katana as a reward.
