  If you’re able to upgrade a dragon knight sword to +5 in NG, it’s the best weapon you can get. Probably also for much of NG+

  That sword and the claymore are one of the best changes in the remake they look so good especially with that sun ornament near the guard now what's missing is a spear with long blade that matches those 2
