      I hate to say it, but this weapon is outclassed by the Knight sword in most scenarios on a quality or strength build (has only slightly more damage or the same). And it really sucks to say because it's just super cool, especially with the new awesome riposte and backstab animations we got

        So this says that it can drop from the axe soldiers in boletaria and I get that it says "rare" but it has NEVER dropped for me in either the original or the remake... Can anyone confirm if it actually does?

        • Anonymous

          Does it do more Damage on a pure Strength build or on a Quality Build ? Choosing between Crushing and Quality is a hard choice on this one i think.

            This weapon with the Masters Ring and a Tank Build is a lot of fun. I go with a Brushwood Set with Shield and use the Dark Silver Shield for Magic Users. PvE only.
