Crow Quills | Dark Souls 3 Wiki

Buffing this with resins will only apply the damage to the rapier BUT the claws will still inherit the elements properties. So if you apply fire, hitting fire weak enemies with the claws will make them flail around. Wth fromsoft?

Criminally good weapon

I have three fav weapons, this being one of them, as well as Dragonslayer Axe with either lightning or chaos infusion, and Dragonslayer Swordspear. 11/10 once upgraded, I'm using it in endgame and is still super cool. Definitely recommend for anyone to try.

Submit

Simple only has 20 less AR than Crystal at both 40/60 and 40/40 dex/int. Do with this information what you will.

Submit

Blessed infuse actualy gets B scalling in DEX and S in FAITH

Submit

Pretty easy to get early after beating the crystal sage. The hardest part is getting past the corvian knight and climbing up the ladder. Level up to at least 20 vigor and be embered and you should have enough health while suicide running.

This weapon does not work well with buffs imo. When buffed, the dmg increase only applies to the rapier attacks (quills remain unbuffed). Even though the dmg does not change, fire buffs cause enemies's fire-death animation when attacked with the quill-swipes (i do not know if this stops dogs and other such enemies, if they survive). the quill-darts will not show any difference, if you compare buffed with unbuffed.
I think Crow Quills are best in a pyromancer / hexer setup with a chaos-infusion. It will make every attack cause fire damage and therefore you can use the Quill-Darts to fire-stun enemies. I also get better results with crit. hits, but that might be because usually i never go beyond 40 dex.
Moveset is just great, it is one weapon for most situations.

came across an invader using this. now, i'm pretty bad at pvp, but as long as you're not predictable as that guy when using the weapon art you'll do fine

Submit

Coolest ****ing weapon in the game.

Submit

elden ring really needs unique weapon concepts like this, i hope they add some in the DLC

Submit

Is infusing chaos for this weapon good or should i just go with sharp?

Submit

This thing has one of the most varied movesets in the game, perhaps the most varied. Want to shield poke people? No problem, equip a shield in your off-hand and poke away at stuff! Do you like alternative kick attacks for variety?? This weapon has an altered kick attack like other rapiers. Do you enjoy paired weapons??? 2 hand this thing and experience the glory and absolute style of the paired attacks. Do you like throwing darts at people but want to keep it simple and avoid equipping throwables in your precious slots????? Use the weapon art and throw away your daggers (and FP) to your heart's content, follow it up with an R2 for a powerful thrusting lunge. Do you like keeping it simple with R1's and R2's? You can R1 spam your way through the game with this thing if you want.

Submit

Just because a weapon isn't meta doesn't mean it's not good- and this one is both good AND fun

Submit

The weapon art for this EXCELLS at finishing off low health players especially ones with tears of denial, plus you look really cool while doing it B)

Submit

Extremely cool weapon that not a lot of people seem to be running in PVP anymore despite the fact it can be accessed relatively early, I guess mainly because it's hidden in such an obscure location that a lot of players legit don't know where it is. But this is actually not a bad one at all.

Submit

I've noticed that there is a quite alot of poise on its running L1, and back step attack, perfect for trading attacks idk if it can trade ultra and greatswords but it can trade up to halberds at 27 poise

Submit

I was using this while fighting persevearance spammer and either I was lucky or L1s don't bounce off which is awesome.

Submit

I just chaos infused this for A scaling in int and faith? With a B in dex? Does anything else in the game scale like this?

Submit

I very much enjoy this weapon

Submit

Why the actual **** does this thing not have inherent bleed, Miyazaki?

Submit

I'm awful at PvP so I generally avoided it until I found the Crow Quills. I'm still awful but this weapon is so much fun to use. It's rare for me but actually landing a Backstep L1-R1-L1 is satisfying as heck

Submit

I dont now why but i want this in Bloodborne

Submit

genuinely love this weapon. I'd been getting through the game mostly with the astora great sword, which is a great weapon, but I tried this one out on a whim after I found it and it's just so much more fun imo. I love the moveset, catching people in the r1 l1 combo is so satisfying. been doing a lot of invasions with it too, and they're more challenging for sure, but also very fun and super satisfying to get the win. learning it has been a blast, fully in love, highly recommend.

Submit

I've never seen anyone use the L1 for this wtf

Submit

When using this weapon buffed or infused with elemental damage, does the “throwing quill” weapon art also deal elemental damage to enemies?

Submit

Dear scrubs, stop trying to poke pro with this harmless stick, you're just not hitting anyone cuz this sword's moveset sucks asssszz. Damnn, I really don't have to tell you the horrible result of bringing this shite up against a pro pkcs player...It would be a stream of shhit coming at you.

Submit

When you apply buffs, the claws do not receive the effect, only the rapier.
Just FYI.

Submit

an absolute beast on elemental infusions

Submit

used it in pvp sucks balls

Submit

They seem like they'd be incredible for a Hollow luck/dex build

Submit

Question: does it bounce off of persevearance while L1?

Submit

"In their infatuation with Sister Friede, the Corvian Knights swore to protect the painting from fire"... Oh my.

Submit

If I wield this weapon in my left hand is it the rapier or quills?

Submit

i gotta say that the r1 to l1 combo is my favorite combo in the game.

Submit

is it just me or does the effect of the weapon art look diffirent with infusions? on a refined infused cq the knife throw is just a plain knife throw is just a plain knife throw but on a lightning build it has a yellow flash before hand can anybody confirm?

Submit

Mine says 130 Critical, not 120.

Submit

Do resins increase damage on the weapon art? If so, because resins aren't percentage increases like buffs, would this greatly increase damage if all of them hit?

Submit

Ngl in the right hands this weapon is great in PvP. While it might be off meta, it can really shine. People complaining about shields, use the running jump attack w/ hyper armor and it breaks shields like no other (I also use sharp Carthus Shotel for Greatshield tanks), you can use the throwing knives to interrupt rolls and heals to keep on the offensive or even provide an opening for attack against great weapons, and if you get someone close enough with little armor, they melt under stun lock and pure ar dealt.

Submit

Let's just say, I've won against every player that has ever used crow quills, ever. I'm sure I'm not the only one either.
Using weapons like this is like insulting your opponents intelligence by thinking they'll be stupid enough to even get hit by a single move this weapon can do

Submit

InfernoPlus is a cuck and he can suck the CHAD (formerly cringe) crow quill's blade-tip ****.

Submit

This is a great weapon for Darkmoon Blade. The trick with buff builds is that it's rather easy to wait out the buff, and so you need to choose weapons that are good at pressuring, and also weapons that would benefit from the buff more so than just innate elemental damage from infusions. Spears and rapiers fill that niche really nicely because spears and rapiers are pretty good at pressuring because of their running R1s and roll-catching capabilities, respectively, and, more importantly, they would lose a lot of counter damage (especially with Leo Ring) as counter damage is calculated strictly from your "Thrust" AR and not your elemental infusion AR.

Submit

Weapon actually gets A scaling on FTH and INT with Chaos and Dark infusion

Submit

r1 + l1 is a 4 hit combo

Submit

Not sure why the Sharp infusion is using 18/50 for ar calc, such a weird stat allocation. With sharp its str scaling is so bad Id go as little above 9. 9/40 sharp, 373 AR. 9/60 sharp 397 AR.

Submit

Blessed gets an S scaling not an A

Submit

Best dex weapon

Submit

much like the gods of old leaving anor londo to ruin and decay, with the absence of giant dad, this, has come into existance

Submit

the jumping atack break shields blocking :D

Submit

meta heads complaining about a downside that is a downside for like every non meta weapon here's a tip:get laid, its a cool weapon

Submit

I'll be honest, I'm only using it for the style

Submit

what happens if you off-hand it? do you get the rapier or the quills if you get the quilld is the weapon art still a thing?

Submit

Sadly parrying destroys this weapon in pvp. A decent parry user will have barely any problems against this weapon.

Submit

The Dancer got rekt at level 40 with +6 sharp talons. Man, I'm beginning to like this one.

Submit

The damage table is not updated. So interestingly, this weapon infused with a simple gem or a blessed gem has a slight bonus for the base physical damage. They have a Superior base physical damage than their counterparts (here simple>chaos/dark and blessed>Crystal/Lightning, normally their base physical damage is equal).

Submit

What happens when you use the weapon art with the crow quills in the right hand and a weapon art shield in the left?

Submit

imma use this with my bird build using crown talons as alternative...
