The claaaaaw. The claw is our master. It chooses who will go and who will stay

they can't be used to jump over obstacles, i tried using them to jump over lava pits but the animation prevents you from reaching the edge, very sad :(

Submit

Because they are paired weapons they get reduced damage from buffs right?

These are pretty good actually. You need to have a hit and run playstyle for the most part, but if you find an opening, feel free to throw out a l1-l1-r2 combo. The l1-l1 is guaranteed if the first l1 stuns, and the r2 afterwards is meant to roll catch, which usually works for me. If the r2 roll catches you can usually throw in another l1 or two. The weapon art can land "headshots" pretty frequently too, which stuns your opponent allowing you to get a guaranteed l1 if you follow-up. Weapon art can trade against most non-great weapons too, so make use of that aswell.

Best weapons in all of the Darks Souls I kid you not!

WA can be used to kill Gael at phase 2. If you find a hill you can infinately hit him in the head and riposte.

Imagine making an amazing build around these weapons only to be canceled by some guy persevering with caestus. Literally cannot do anything at all

I'm honestly starting to think these things are busted. Crystal buffed claws l1-l2-l1-l1 combo one shot my friend who even had great magic barrier on. He hasn't spoken to me since ;(

Claw of the soulless:
Weapon favored by the exiled of a foreign land. The lacerations it inflict evoke rage upon his victims.

When two-handed, claws are equipped to each hand.

Skill: leaping slash
Perform a forward leaping slash at the opponent's head. When successful, gets you banned for trying to look badass on stream.

A few curious things which I noticed while using this weapon:
It's WA has amazing poise damage which makes it great into greatswords and other heavy weapons and (apparently) also combos into two L1s, giving crazy damage. Pick it up if you wanna be a wolverine.

Submit

These things are great in 1v1's but good luck winning any fights where you are outnumbered. The attacks are too slow to do any combos without getting interrupted by someone else

Submit

Pros: high bleed, low stamina cost, good on many builds, look badass on stream.

Cons: short range, you don't actually look badass on stream. Yea he ban me.

Best weapon against Friede

Poison infusion adds poison and improves claw s innate bleed, wich makes it a perfect weapon to put some pressure on pvp. That and the crit bonus are the turtle s nightmare.

I've had this game for a while and have never seen these in pvp. Any claws at all is rare. But caesti builds are common, even though the perseverance gimmick can be beat by running away for 3 seconds. I feel like I'm so not used to fighting claws that I'd get diced like tomatoes. Please, someone, use these so i don't live in fear of how viable they might be

Submit

This is a really good offhand if you use Crow Quills. It's a pretty good parry tool as it's hard to distinguish a claw from a 2H CQ, so you can switch and if your opponent isn't too observant they won't see and you can get a nice parry

Submit

Are claws as effective as fists weapons to parry?

Submit

WA is a slightly better version of the Onislayer WA.

Hello wolverine cosplays

Left bumper attack is fantastic for combo-ing with the carthus beacon and pontiff's right eye as you can easily stunlock a heavily armored opponent (e.g. Lothric knights for me at least) and continuously land a flurry of blows with them. These are probably one of my favorite weapons, and I think they are severely underrated.

Submit

insane roll catch on the running L1 and it costs barely any stamina its perfect offhand on a hollow build

Looks like Freddy Krueger didn't make it to Oceiros, am I right?

Im so confused now. In the page it says, that on blood infusion +10 the bleed would be at 40 max, but i just tested it, and already at +8 it would be 55 samr like the Warden Swords.. :( i just spent so much time for seemingly nothing. :/

Submit

So if I have 30 dex, 12 str, and 14 luck, what infusion would you of the community suggest with these (using a build where I will also be using Dorhy's Gnawing and Miracle weapon buffs)? I'm considering sharp, bleed, or hollow. Or would simply not infusing it be best with that stat layout?

Submit

Try Dex build with Notched Whip offhand. Gives a good mix of range with bleed along with two unique and unusual weapon art attacks.

Submit

I've used there's once pvp and won a few times there's are so fun to use if you L2 while there blocking it will Break there block or go straight threw them then add that with a good L1 and R1 combo and it's easy kill these are so fun to use and if you have luck up with fusing this with bleed then it's game offer if you get combos in I'm trying a chaos infuse with them to see how they fair out I like paring it with the carthus flame arc so I decided to go chaos infuse I might change to refine for that added attack instead of bleed

Submit

i love these things. they are feeling like a well balanced, not stupidly overpowered version of the twin katanas. They are perfect

Submit

These things will absolutely destroy aggressive players. So long as you have an adequate amount of poise, the weapon art hyperarmour will power through most attacks. With the fact that it also staggers enemies even before the hit lands, it's an absolute murder machine if you manage to catch an enemy with it. And after that, there's no escaping from the bleed procs. The L1 attacks too fast to get parried or traded with, the only thing an enemy can do is to roll away. Just be sure to carry a secondary weapon, since the range on these things will kill you against defensive players.

Nice Wolverine Cosplay.

I've found that if you're patient with these weapons and wait for your enemy to drop his defence, you can get in close and spam L1/LB to get in lets of attacks which compliments the bleeding damage very well. It'll be very hard for your opponent to retaliate as your getting attacks in quick enough to stop him initiating most attacks. For this to work, you'll nee lots of stamina for a long chain of attacks for lots of physical damage and for the bleeding to work along with a high dexterity so you can dodge attacks before you have an opening to attack. another method is to use L2/LT to break their defence and get in the L1/LB spam. I would recommend infusing the claws with either a sharp gem or blood gem for the best results.

Since the weapon art now has hyper armour and it has an ar buff, these weapons are actually good. You can combo the weapon art into 2 l1s or 2 r1s. The weapon art buffed with carthus rouge instantly bleeds if you sweetspot it, and you can bleed them again with 2 l1s depending on their resistance to bleed. As with most dual weapons, it goes well with tier 3 weapon buffs like DMB and LB and CMW. At about 60 in the respective magic stat with the best catalyst will grant l1s to do about 450 damage aat sl120. Combo'd with the weapon art, it can do about 1600 damage (!!!) granted its a sweet spot. Considering the weapon art has hyper armour too, it is your most reliable tool to trade with or catch rolls.Overall, all fist weapons (apart form the demon fists) are now pretty viable. These are the way to go for pure dps. Id recommend the caestus for gank spanking and the manikin claws for heavy builds/ agile builds.

Submit

Note: This weapon's battle art got buffed and has Hyper Armor when you acend in the air. Also its damage got buffed.

Submit

It seems like this and other fist weapons got a damage buff. Simple claws on my 45 int character now have a 315+ AR. Not sure how good it will be as sharp on a dex build or on a bleed build, though. Its WA leaping animation has hyper armor and stuns but doesn't damage your opponent when you hit them while leaping. It says it deals head shot like damage. I have been able to use the claws WA to stun big enemies like cathedral knights with greatswords and then continue to spam the WA until they die. Damage isn't very good, though.

Got this today before killing Vordt by doing Dancer right away. Infused with Sharp gem this weapon gets A scaling with Dex and the moveset is significantly father than Manikin Blades. The L1 is beastly and the L2 gives you i frames and has great tracking. The roll + R1 is a double roll followed by a thrusting attack. Overall, like any fist weapon or dagger, not something I would recommend using on some fights just because of the range, but it's definitely fun and probably the strongest fist weapon with a dex/luck build (bleed procs insanely fast).

Submit

This is almost useless in pvp. The jump does stam damage not crit damage? Its range is a bit larger then the ceatus which is nice but you will not win against anyone with a brain and a SS/Rapier. I guess pray for a buff in patch but I doubt that will happen. Use this weapon for a challenging play through

Submit

infusing it with poison buffs the bleed damage more than bleed infusion. luck builds eat you're heart out
