Splitleaf Greatsword | Dark Souls 3 Wiki

The weapon art hits different, as in it WILL take 3/4th of your health bar to the shadow realm with the true combo, never to return. Combine it with the pressure halberds already have and...yeah.
It's very fun to use though.

The first time I fight someone with this weapon, I instantly get infinite comboed with pivot cancel, now I hate it. Thanks you fromsoftware. The fact it can 3 hit true combo from just r1 is ridiculous too.

A "greatsword" can be 3 different weapon classes. Can't wait for the Greatsword bow and Greatsword dagger in the Elden ring dlc

"Crafted entirely with steel, making it exceedingly heavy."
Weighs 13.5 units, not even the heaviest halberd. It is lighter than every greataxe.

Biggest bullshit weapon ever has been and ever will be invented. congrats.

This is one of the best weapons in Dark Souls 3. The weapon art basically adds a separate moveset, incredible on a pure strength build. Can't get enough of it.

Submit

So many of the weapon arts here are far better than elden rings weapon arts. Spinning strikes doesn't hold a candle to this.

Imagine if I had a real weapon.

I swear, Halberds have been the weirdest weapon class in the souls series.

DS1 had the Black Knight Halberd which is a Glaive, and a Scythe which is counted as a Halberd

DS2 had a Spear which is actually a Halberd, and when broken becomes a Twinblade

DS3 has a Glaive that's actually a Bardiche, and now a Greatsword that's actually a Guandao/Glaive

Name: Greatsword. Type: Halberd. What in the **** FromSoft?

The dark spirit slayer 3000. Just switch to this when you get invaded, buff it, land a lucky R1, one shot them and be on your way.

“Does it split? No

Someone at Fromsoft probably.

i once got invaded by a dude wielding this at the second bonfire of archdragon's peak, and the dude does the strong attack and goes flying into the void just beside the bonfire and i've never laughed so hard in pvp before, dude looked so badass just to die without hitting me once

Submit

Okay this might not be a greatsword but I just wanna see what this would look like with a greatsword moveset. Ik it'd be super busted with the range it has, but I'm not talking practicality, I'm talking shits and giggles.

Submit

Sometimes I feel like FromSoftware is a group of fantastic smart talented people and a one complete moron, who got the job cause he's Miyazaki's cousin and he's like "uh uh lets give murky hs thrust counter damage and a bigger range than spears" or "uh uh lets make a very long halberd with hyperarmor, quick R1 that true combos into 1,4k hp and lets call it a greatsword o.O"

At least it has very easy counter: every single greatsword - similiar speed and much better hyperarmor. Nothing is more funny than cheap morons going straight for their R1 helikopter combo just to be stunned in every single trade. Trust me, it works every single time.

One of the Best STR Weapons I ever used. It's fast, light, heavy and has an true combo WA.

So, is a refined gem on a Quality build a bad idea?

Submit

Holy crap this thing is broken. Good speed, range, and damage, plus a weapon art that doesn’t consume fp if you don’t finish it with another attack. The only real way to handle this thing is to either use murky which is just as bad or out space it with a spear. But even then you can’t have any mistakes, because it’ll take out 70% of your health with one combo. Oh wait, you can buff it? Make it 90%. Maybe you can use perseverance on a heavy weapon and trade, but this is usually limited to easy to dodge great hammers. Now the black knight sword…boys we may have a solution.

*infinites you*

I faced a player who used this weapon ... I think he exploited a kind of glitch, how to explain ... He reused the first stroke of the WA repeatedly without continuing the combo, I tried to do the same but my character spins the halberd twice and that's it ... Impossible to fight or defend myself, he uses this glitch (for me it's a glitch) and I die without having had time to do anything ... and all that to receive the very frustrating "Point Down" followed by a dung stalk. This infuriates me.

Compared to gundyr halberd gundyr does more damage in all attacks, however you can buff this weapon making it stronger, its just preference and choice for either one.

My first playthrough I was using spitleaf+avelyn and was getting a decent amount of wins in arena duels. But I kept asking myself, "is this how I should be playing the game? Cleaving healthbars via a combo that has decentnrange on the startup hit?"

At first, I thought yes. I play smash ultimate, and these kinds of combos are commonplace in that setting(ex. Samus charge shot confirms, Terry jab cancels, Rob gyro tech, Luigi in general). Unfortunately, after a few hours of playing, i realized most other players only had a true combo that consisted of two R1s. Beyond that, everything was about calling out their reaction.

And that's how Dark Souls duels are. If you can call out your opponent, you can continue and press your advantage. This is why so many hate daggers- it's insanely easy to press this advantage by walking forward and then R1ing again. However, the Spitleaf tosses away the need for these reads by just killing you outright, arguably making it the worst weapon in the game in terms of helping someone get good at PVP. I don't want to call it a crutch, as some skilled players(namely chase) utilize this out of crits to rollcatch and finish a target off. However, this should not be your primary weapon, as it sets most skill aside in favor of R1-L2-R1.

Yes, once you're skilled at the game, feel free to nab this, but otherwise, please try to use an alternative option. I don't care that people hate this weapon because it kills THEM, I dislike it because it hurts a player's ability to learn the ins and outs of PVP. For one's first run I always say the same: try a greatsword out. They're arguably the most balanced class.


TL:DR Spitleaf makes it difficult to learn the ins and outs of pvp and harms new players more than it helps them when it comes to the process of learning combat, as it gives massive damage of one hit that has relatively good speed.

Submit

The most annoying weapon to fight against.

Not because it’s bad or anything, actually it’s a top tier weapon, but if you mess up just once….. BAM,
70% of your hp is gone. You can’t mess with this weapon or it WILL stun lock you too death.

Halberds like this and the scythe in the first dark souls are sexy as hell

Submit

keep in mind if you use this infused: its true combo consists of many smaller hits that build up damage so split damage types can sort of hard curb the weapon. always use with just physical damage or buffing.

alternatively, do use this weapon infused because tbh I would love to not get one combo'd by this at least once in my life lmfao
