Best Backstab Weapon? I know I'm beating an old dead horse here. But our of curiosity, for a Dex build with high Dex and barely any intelligence or faith, what is the best weapon and infusion for the weapon. Some of the best weapons in Dark Souls 3 include the Great Club, Vordt's Great Hammer, Dragonslayer Greatbow, Lothric Knight Sword, and Irithyll Straight Sword. These weapons offer unique Critical damage appears to ignore (or greatly reduce) the target's defense. A typical weapon can do either 2 or 3 times it's attack rating in critical damage. Most daggers do more than 4 times their attack rating in critical damage. The Umbral Dagger has the highest critical modifier in the game, at least for backstabs. Good answer. #6.

Chaos rapier does have higher crit damage, but chaos bandit's dagger has bleed to go with the chip damage. Last edited by Taco Cat ; Jul 21, 2018 I've made a dex build, and I love to parry. I'm looking for a weapon to use for ripostes after parry. I have a Dagger, which list 130 critical, but it still does less damage than my Uchigatana Black Knight Sword. The fact that it has perseverance on it is so insanely broken. You can pop it, tank through anything and do about a thousand damage in 2 hits. Keep in mind, this is meant to be a 1 handed weapon so you can use like the Black Knight Shield with it and you're unstoppable. 9O7qI. Claymore is a Weapon in Dark Souls 3. An unusually large and heavy greatsword normally wielded with two hands. This highly versatile weapon can be swung broadly or thrusted. Skill: Stance. While in stance, use normal attacks to break a foe's guard from below, and strong attack to slash upwards with a forward lunge. you need to keep your shield down for like half a second or so before you can backstab, otherwise it comes out like a normal attack. Walk into them as you try to hit your light attack. Works everytime. Simply standing there tends to simply light attack only. Daggers are characterized by their fast attack speed and high critical damage. Daggers are one of the smallest weapon types. Careful tactical consideration should be taken by the player while using these weapons as you need to be very close to successfully attack. Basic "hit and run" strategy and critical attacks are a hallmark of this weapon type. Farron Greatsword is a Weapon in Dark Souls 3. Greatsword of the Abyss watchers which is atypically paired with a dagger. The dagger is utilized as a wedge in the left hand while the greatsword is held in the right, a unique technique that was synonymous with the Undead Legion. Confounds foes the manner of wolves hunting prey. Skill: Parry. So the damage isn't incredible. But the weapon art adds about 50% more magic damage and some reach. This would be okay if this dagger had more than base 100 critical or if its gimmick didn't use more stamina than a heavy weapon, but it's more or less trashcan material as it is. Fantastic concept for a weapon executed poorly.
