Anri's Straight Sword | Dark Souls 3 Wiki

I got this sword early, but at what cost

Submit

nowhere in the item description is HP regen mentioned... classic

Submit

Can confirm with this and hp regen build at sl120 finished ng3 the game became very easy no point to do ng7 with this build

Submit

Best sl802 weapon

Yeah, the luck scaling is cool and all, but I don’t think y’all understand the sheer power a regen build can get with this. It has innate blessed infusion and can be further buffed with blessed blade. A faith/luck build would be pretty much immortal, as long as you have a shield to hide behind.

Submit

"Damage increases with luck" yeah if I had one in real life it was useless in terms of harming anyone

Submit

why its says "barbed straight sword" in motion value tab?

If you married Anri in the Darkmoon tomb, it will be in the same location as the cutscene. AFTER you have exhausted Yurias dialogue back at the shrine.

Blueblood sword but not broken because of a glitch.

Luck build is fun, this + carthus rouge.

I appreciate the luck scaling.

Hello DS3 player, I am come to you for a little favour, and I will carry this message to everywhere in DS3 community.
There is a glitch that allows you to summon white sign mad phantom in Gael’s Arena (Credit to Dashingsaint), if you keep Shira alived while she invade you (you can escape her simply sprint out her aggro range), you won’t trigger gael boss cutscene, and then you could put down you purple summon white sign or summon other white purple.
Thus, a new fight club is founded, an arena in a long lost dessert under the sunset sky which sprinkle with fainted galaxy.
If you’re watching this, kindly please help me share this and invite any ds3 enthusiast you known to this new fight club, your little effort would be much appreciated.
SL25+2, SL40+4, SL60+6, SL72+8, SL90+10, SL125 Meta, SL 351++, all SL range are acceptable.
Welcome to the Gael’s Sunset Arena, the most beautiful map in the entire series, the last arena at the End of World.
I will await you there, in the End of the World, and we shall fight eternal, shiny and incandescence.
LONG MAY THE DARK SOULS COMMUNITY LIVE

Scales with faith, does not have a faith requirement. Is a unique version of the Astora straight sword, which has a faith requirement, but does not scale with faith.

Submit

Why does Fextra always give such awful notes. Instead of saying in a single row that it possesses natural blessed infusion it goes all the way to tell it has HP regen, deals extra damage to reanimated skeletons and prevents reanimated skeletons from resurrecting (and not respawing, the were never spawn out). Why is every person that writes on the pages of this wiki either so illiterate, so idiot, or both?

Submit

This weapon is buffable, if buffed with blessed weapon does the healing stack or does one cancel the other?

Submit

The only real sell to a luck build. Bleed and poison are gimmicky and don't even benefit all that much from heavy luck investment. Mangrub staff is pointless because you still need Int requirement for the spells. And Hollow gem is worse than the other physical gems on almost all weapons at meta and below. But Anri's is unique, and powerful.

Submit

Did I miss it or does the sword not give 5 luck when have hollowed?

Submit

I did some data bullshit on mugen monkey and this straight sword has the highest AR in it's class. At 11 strength, 40 dex lothric knight sword is 393 AR. At 10 strength, 10 dex, and 46 luck you also get 393 AR. HOWEVER, with the stats of 60 strength, dex, and luck. Lothric Knight Sword's AR is 438 AR and Anri's seord is 468.

Long story short Anri's sword beats out any infusion with long swords and it's still buffable.

Submit

Does this scale with faith like at all? I'm doing a faith/luck build and scaling faith doesn't seem to improve its damage ever. Is it only until like 30 faith or something?

OMG it's the Astora Straight Sword from you remember back in the lordran times? This is a bangin' sword. For realz, this sword is so good, you can murder everything with it, All that faith scaling excellent, I'll take healing spells and lightning spells. excellent. That luck scaling is amazing as well. you get so much free stuff! You know what scales with luck? Weapon bleed and poison damage! So, given that this amazing Anri sword is later game, hit the cathedral of the deep for the barbed sword - the moveset's the same, and it's hella bleed, bang a poison enchant on it, it's nutso. just swing til it procs, and leave.

Submit

Can you get this weapon by not completing anri's questline and just completing yuria's? or so you need to complete anri's to get it

Submit

This is your main physical damage source on a luck build. 10 str 12 dex and 40 luck.
Other weapons to use: Blood infused bandit‘s knife and poison infused rotten ghru dagger.
So you have a lot of spare stats for other things.
It performs very well in pve and pvp.
It is just used for enemies immune to bleed and casuls with curved swords. Try Death

Submit

This has the highest pure physical AR of any straight sword at max soul level

Submit

Seems like Chase is the only person in the world to have the privilege to infuse this weapon, eh?

Submit

scaling for str at +2 is E.

strongest straight sword in very high levels. also can deal some damage purely as luck weapon at lower levels.. more for the meme builds, like luck mage or attempt to bleed builds.

Submit

Jonathan, I grant you the word engraved into the sword given to me by my queen, LUCK, and for the future, I grant you this, PLUCK.

Submit

Correction for scaling grades, Anri’s Straight Sword will only have D scaling for strength when it reaches +5 prior to that it should be listed as E

Submit

Blueblood Sword but balanced

Submit

The regen rate is the same like from blessed weapons

Submit

It's honestly insane how much this scales with luck, I've tried a hollow build and this weapon always seems to out-perform literally every other weapon

Submit

The sentence "has faith scaling" is misleading. E scaling is really 0 scaling pumping from 10 str to 99 str on an E scaling increases AR by 10% at best. This weapon scales only with luck and even str does really give that much AR. It is primarily a luck weapon and keeps scaling well with luck until 60 luck.

Submit

For people newer to the game:

One of the more unique straight swords in the game, accesable early fight ahri and horace in forest upon meeting them first time. Acquirable via questchain otherwise.
As many mention and point out, has unique luck scaling and passive health regeneration, both seemingly making it appealing pve and new player weapon (considering something like deprived character start). Essentially, a blessed weapon blessed weapon with luck scalling instead of faith. And it is quite good, for those who want to do something other then str/dex.
Shortcomings: Raw damage is suboptimal, not to mention you will be forced to fight 1v2 npcs early on if you want this weapon from the start of the run, wich most people unfamiliar with souls series will struggle. Outside that, increasing your passive item find and option to work into bleed/poison or miracle build is nothing to be shy of. But, there is but. The way bleed/poison build up works in this game might make you disappointed early on (most targets have neglible buildup effects from you spamming attacks (unbuffed katana wont trigger bleed effect outside bossfights for example), unless using infussions/buffs, if you can't be bothered, raw/physical dmg weapons will outparse all bleed/poison options outside of targets being vulnerable to aux effect in mind).


tl;dr faith/str/dex builds have better weapon options, unique blessed/hollow straightsword for luck oriented builds. Luck build (in general) is ok in pve, suboptimal in pvp until very high soul level. Not to mention straightsword range and moveset makes it hard to hit rolling targets.

Submit

get some luck and buff with carthus rouge for a decent bleed build

Submit

I did all of the stuff out of order on a play-through, never summoned or assisted Anri, and still found this sword on the Alter in Anor Londo after killing Aldrich and taking to Anri in the church bonfire. So, you can still get this item even if you don't quite follow the guide. However, I did summon Horace for the Cathedral and then killed Horace in the Smoldering Lake.

Submit

i just love how this weapon works exactly like original astora's ss from dark souls 1 with it being blessed and all.

Submit

why does it say it has bleed damage, im wielding it right now and it doesnt have any bleed damage let alone 100

Submit

You gotta ask yourself one question...

Best straight sword in the game (even better than lothric)

Submit

i’ve helped kill aldrich with with anri but i’m at the point in the story where ludleth is turned to ash, so i can’t talk to him. can i still get her sword?

Submit

Idk if anyone mentioned it already, but this can be buffed with blessed weapon for even more faith->physical damage. I also believe the HP regen from the blessed spell stacks with the innate HP regen in the weapon. Faith builds can pair with a blessed weapon, a second Anri SS (perhaps buffed with lightning resin), or a blessed shield. The DLC ethereal oak shield would be great. Then you use the HP regen ring and if you need it, the weapon art from the chimes that gives a cheap heal over time.

This build can be about as hp/fp efficient as it gets. Just turn your flasks into mostly or all Ashen, and use your chime heals. The filianore chime WA heal actually stacks with the other chime WA heals and doesn’t need to be kept in the hand. These are much better for healing as long as you don’t need rapid healing. They use less FP and are faster to cast than any of the heal spells, which are more efficient when healing multiple people at once.
Certain weapons actually scale well enough from faith that you could do min weapon stats and full faith plus somebody miracles with this build.
So this weapon is good for cleric-casters, tank paladins, and hybrid cleric/paladins.

Submit

I believe this weapon has built in hp regen, needs confirmation

Submit

Does this weapon give extra luck levels like hollow weapons do?

Submit

If you're using this to farm covenant items, pump luck to 99, make sure dex is at 10, then dump the rest into strength. Even in this glass cannon state, I can reliably farm Silver Knights.

Submit

Help pls I had Anri in the pontiff fight and he died his set is available at the shrinemaiden and he knew where horace was but he wasn't there what should I do

Submit

One of the best weapons in the game for farming, in my experience.

Submit

Very good weapon. It scales mostly of luck but also from str, dex and faith. This is my go-to weapon for my bleed-poison build. For PVP i use a poison infused ghru dagger and a blood infused bandit's knife. Anri's straigth sword is mainly a back-up weapon for over aggressive players using straight swords and curved swords users but also for bosses immune to poison and bleed. It also regenerates 2HP per second and skeletons which would resurrect stay dead and does 10% extra damage to undead enemies. A luck build is very stat efficient. With 50 luck and 12 str and dex you should have around 400 AR and many spare levels to put elsewhere. I hope i see more luck builds in the future, the build variety has really declined over the years.

Submit

10 STR 10 Dex 35 luck with 99 hollow. Than get 60 Faith. And put your points where ever you want than..... Pretty good

Submit

the description refers to this blade as "dull" so it would do strike damage right? NO, ***** YOU, IT DOES SLASH, meanwhile the EXECUTIONERS GREATSWORD (which keep in mind is for EXECUTIONS) does STRIKE DAMAGE, which is PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE

Submit

Submit

Awesome physical scaling for us masochists who still like to try to make bleed a thing, buffable, Carthus Rogue-able, a beautiful, simple design, and a compelling backstory. Minimaxers should look elsewhere, but all in all, a very enjoyable weapon.

Submit

More like the sadness straight sword

Submit

Still very strong considering you only need one stat to unleash its full potential as opposed to quality builds who need to balance dex & strenght. But it seems to outclass most other straightswords and you dont even need to infuse it. I will use it during a NG+7 playtrough in order to properly test it. And its the successor of good ole oscars astora straight sword so.....and we dont talk about the impostor astora straight sword.

Submit

The community cried and FromSoft did what they do best. Overnerf. Luck builds are now trash.

Submit

Can’t wait to do a challenge run on this thing

Submit

So this sword is for luck builds, it's both blessed and hollowed. It scales almost exclusively with luck and maybe just slightly with str. And on top of that it can be buffed so you may use another blessed buff to further increase stacking or use a carthus rouge. This is easily, the strongest non infusable straight sword in the game! It is on parr with gotthard twin sword, ringed knight sword and lothric straight sword. The only thing that doesn't allow one to be better than the other is that 1 is dual wielded and does about 1.5x dmg /hit than others, one has a fantastic fire WA that covers good area, one is anri the ungoldy buffed sword and then of course lothric sword the perfect infusable sword. These are top 5 weapons of ds3 alone the top 1 is probably twin prince greatsword.

Submit

I have it, but it does not have any bleed. why do the summary at the topleft of the page show 100 bleed, while the upgrades show none ?

Submit

Actually I have it and it says E in strength scaling it scales in luck

Submit

"70 Luck, which is the hardcap for the Luck based Bleed bonus" But the bleed wiki page claims it's 50.

Submit

Hey wasn't it always like this: the elite knight set is stronger than the normal knight set? Or almost the same but not so heavy? I don't remember in ds1 was it one of my fav armor sets. Cause it wasn't so heavy and had good phys resistance and good elemental resistance. Especially for its weight. Now it's not so heavy than the normal knight set (i think it was the same in ds1) but weaker about 1-2 points in every section. Only the elemental resistance is a bit better - except fire (almost the same) Poison, curse and freeze is almost the same, only bleed is 20 points better at the elite) Now I'm a bit disappointed.. But maybe I remember wrong. And now I have higher stats so I can wear better armor. (mix between black Knight and normal knight helmet and gloves) - fashion always counts ;) As beginner and early set would be great. Or later as light roll set (but okay there you need high stats) But in first run - it's only really good if you kill anri at the first time you see her, otherwise it isn't soo good. Except you use gs and don't have high stats, for example atm I have 18, and I can use hollowslayer and full elite set (doesn't compare so much cause I don't prefer to play gs but I think it is the best atm) - so it's good. Otherwise - meh

Submit

Damn it, I finished the questline but forgot to pick up the sword from Ludleth, so now after 6 or so hours I remembered, but at this point Ludleth is a happy pile of burned ash.... Now I'm stuck without the sword, and hollowed Anri won't spawn, so no elite knight set for me. Damn you FromSoft

Submit

Made from Valyrian Steel before it was cool.

Submit

I am not sure if its a glitch or not, but it gets a heal overtime in my game or am I wrong. No I don't have the ring on with similair effect. Which it also stacks with.

Submit

Can post the Softcap for Faith seperately? Min/min/Faith. (Min /w 40 Lucks already posted) I'm trying to find viable weapons with innate Faith scaling.

Submit

this is the best straightsword for physical damage if you go hollow, superior damage tha any straghtsword of other builds, work with bleed if buffed, naturally blessed, perfect

Submit

You can stack Blessed Weapon, the spell, on this.
Somehow turns a 259 R1 on a skeleman into a 341 RI on the same skeleman. Even assuming the blessed weapon miracle has an innate damage bonus against skeletons that is never said on the wiki, that is way too far to even come close to covering that gap. I am not the best at math, even to the point where I mistakenly thought both Anri's sword AND the spell provided a +20% against skeletons in addition to the 7.5% from the spell, even though the wiki says the spell provides no such skele bonus, and it still didn't manage to close the gap.
What even. Help me.

Submit

All stars are now start at E

Submit

Is this a good buff weapon if I plan on leveling nonstop?

Submit

If you're looking to get the most possible HP regen, don't use this sword. It's a great weapon but +10 Anri's Straight Sword actually heals less than a +10 Blessed infused weapon. Anri's straight sword heals 2hp every 2 seconds. A blessed infused weapon heals 3hp every 1.6 seconds. It's a very small difference yes, but if you're looking for the most possible regen, then it's better to go with a different weapon.

Submit

So this weapon has both blessed and hollow infusions naturally wow! And a dmg that doesnt stink like regular blessed infusions wow!

Submit

Another good strategy for getting this early is to focus on Horace. Once he is dead, Anri will collapse to her/his knees and won't attack. I had traded blows with Horace to both our demise and Anri was still at the bonfire when I respawned. I had rested at the bonfire before challenging them first, so take that into consideration.

Submit

This would be amazing for SL1 runs if it had innate Hollow infusion luck boost when hollow

Submit

Remember when this was meta? How times have changed...

Submit

Does infusing this weapon on blessed grant more hp regen while out ?

Submit

Man still think Astora straight sword buffed with thunder weapon 50 faith 70 straight Dex this is my quality build (refined or not

Submit

"At 74 STR, 74 DEX, 74 LCK Anri's Straight Sword +5 has 495 AR when onehanded"
Kind of hard to do this if you're keeping your level under 125. I think the wiki assumes people level nonstop. So many of its entries give stats that are unobtainable to everyone who stays low level for pvp or pve co-op with random people.

Submit

Edit maybe?

*if you unlock the marriage option but don't do it, after killing the Lord of Cinder you will find the sword where Anri would be laying during the ceremony.

Submit

does the HP regen from blessed weapon miracle stack with this?

Submit

Note: Buffing the weapon other than Blessed seems to cancel out the ability to stop enemies from reanimating.

Submit

If you're looking to bleed dancer for an easy solo, best to use a blood barbed sword. I find that @ 40 luck/99H, the blood barbed sword does dependable bleed and kills dancer in the same/similar amount of time in NG++++ (Where I'm at now) as it did in NG (Usually down in 30-45 seconds).

In my quest to level 802, I started Health, Stamina and Luck @ 40. Followed by Faith. I currently run a Poison Ghru Dagger, Blood Barbed Sword, and a Hollow Spiked Mace.

I don't use the Bandit's Knife or other quick-attacking bleed daggers because of the range and you can't backstab dancer.

Submit

This is a fun gimmick weapon with bonus points for fashion souls, but even at SL 802 with everything 99, even buffed, you're better off using a Longsword.

Submit

I feel like this would be really good in a Faith+Luck build when paired with Dark Blade, seeing as it's one of a select few unique weapons that can be buffed and at least gets a little extra juice out of the faith investment needed for the spell. Plus, you can add on Deep Protection as well to become a bit tankier and get even more value out of the health regen. Plus, despite being dark miracles, neither scales off of the special dark catalysts so you can toss in a Saint-tree Bellvine or some other chime or talisman of your choice.

Something that is missing from this page is the Hollow/Luck Scaling, at 40 Luck 35 DEX and 30 STR this weapon was doing over 515 with 99 Hollowing.

Why is there 100 next to bleed value under its picture, but not in the upgrade paths?

Seems that if you complete Anri's questline after Ludleth dies, you can't get this sword.

B. The damage bonus against skelingtons and such

Looking for an OP straight sword build? Look no further. Keep str & dex at base stats for sword (or whatever it is for your character) pump luck to 40, Faith to at least 50, get lightning blade or DMB, kill people. I personally got bored with it because straight swords, while effective, kinda get boring sometimes. I can tell you that it's the best build for damage on a straightsword if you're keeping your level at 120 or lower. good LUCK ;)

Submit

Which one inflicts bleed more quickly when Carthus Rogue is applied between Anri's straight sword +5 and Hollow Barbed Sword +10?

Submit

I think this weapon gives you a higher drop rate for items. I equiped it instead of crystal sages rapier once to help me fight off poisoning in the swamp, along with other healing gear (Red and White shield, Sun Goddess Ring) I had no farming gear on and enemies started dropping items like they'd gone out of style. To test it, I farmed the Darkwraiths before the abyss watchers fight were dropping at the very least three items upon every death. I had Red eyes, Dark armor, along with frequent tongues. Is this a trippy coincidence? I was NG+2 with 15 luck.

Submit

Anyone else think the "earnestly noble figure" the description mentions is possibly Oscar of Astora? (As in the first npc in Dark Souls 1 who gives you the Estus Flask)

Submit

You receive between 2-3 points of hollowing for every death with this equiped
