Crow Talons | Dark Souls 3 Wiki

ok, so, nobody has give love to claws love like me, what i have to said it's that this skill has an incredible hyper armor, can trade against an ultra with less than 40 Poise, and wins almost every trade against any thing, when the first 2 or 3 attacks of Raptor Flurry don't stun or land on opponent you actually can true combo a L1 resulting in an incredible devastating damage, so satisfy land this in pvp, great counter of most part of hyper armor weapons, is nor parryable, is a nice wake up weapon art, hard dex weapon to play but really fun . Even if nobody reads this i anyways wanted to said.

One of the best weapons in the Game (pve experience). You will shred the most Bosses With this baby. Really funny.

The edgiest wielded in offhand with a frayed blade in main. with cornyx chest and black witch veil people will just quit against u in pvp. They don't even get to see the insta proc poison infusion on the wa

Submit

Special attack is excellent against Friede

Submit

is this longer than the standard claws or is there no reason to use these over them

Submit

The WA can poise through a 2H great hammer with only 24 poise, which makes absolutely no sense at all.

Submit

Pretty sure the blood scaling is incorrect, it shows 61 at Blood +10 in game, not 41. If you look instead at the blood infusion tab there's no bleed effect listed at all!

Submit

It seems that not meeting the stat requirements will change the parry animation to that of a medium shield instead of a fist weapon.

Submit

Incredibly fun for PvE. If you're like me and kept looking at this weapon quizzically but never used it, do yourself a favor and use it. I wish more of the DLC weapons got such unique movesets as the crow weapons.

Submit

Is it just my character with not enough DEX, or do they have the parry of a medium shield?

Submit

This Weapon is not as useless in pvp as some might make it out to be. I've been shredding folks with it in a loincloth in duels all morning. The dash/backstep LB/L1 takes some practice to get used to timing and distance, but it's good. The WA is just... therapeutic with Carthus flame. I don't mind the damage at all because the shear amount of hits you can dish out at 160 stamina is absurd, they just keep wanting to get out and they don't lol. Range. Range, range, range, and patience. With those in mind, this is a great weapon. Also useful to suddenly switch from these to a weapon with much greater reach.

You can just get this as soon as you enter AoA, By running through everything to the weapon location. This can shred Dancer in to pieces.

Submit

Replace your simple parrying dagger or simple cestus with one of these on your dex/int offhand and you're golden!

Based my Fist of the North Star build off these weapons with hidden weapon. ATATATATATATATATA

Who cares if it is not meta. You can do a leap attack with claws - this is what matters. This weapon is edgy and aesthetic as **** and i appreciate it even if i get rekt using it - at least you go down in style.

Submit

Is the weapon art parryable?

Submit

Nerds: No! Use only the sellsword blades for faith!
Me: haha lightning crow talon go shkshkshkshk

Submit

These wreck a mobs day in pve and I had my first few wins at pvp using them. The weapon art is pretty much instant death if you connect all the blows. They're even good against bosses, I took down Pontiff in NG+ with them. And buffable too! Flaming claws?! Yes, please!

Submit

The crow talons lowers your thrust defense on the last swing during the weapon skill attack, this info should probably be added to this page

Submit

Easily my favorite weapon in the game. Very good damage when sharp infused, great weapon art, takes so little stamina to hit and last but not least, looks really terrific! Especially when combined with Lorian's set (on a female).

Submit

Welcome to my world *****!

Submit

At +10 chaos infused they scale B/B int/fth not C/C

Submit

So, at +10, which infusion maximizes bleeding damage? The Blood Gem or the Sharp Gem? I would love to go at the Demon Prince like a Bloodborne boss with these, but I keep getting conflicting information.

Submit

Fun PVE weapon, but sadly they are genuinely pathetic in PVP. You will never beat a player that actually knows what they are doing in a million years. And good luck if you run into the ole 3-v-1 Sunbro "we're having fun, who cares we're ruining 4 PVP factions experience" when you can't poise break anything.

Submit

My favorite weapon, good for PvE, ravage the **** out of everything, giant, ravage it, giant worm, ravage it, dragon armor, ravage it, some princes, ravage them, a player, you'll die, not recommended for pvp.

Submit

can it parry?

Submit

As they say, WRYYYYYYYYY.

At 50 Str/Dex and +10 Sharp, this weapon does about 320-ish damage, but using Dark Blade with Caitha's Chime and 50 Int/Fth boosts it to over 520. The L1 and L2 are a bit sluggish but allow massive damage and stunlock potential, and the R1/R2 aren't too bad either considering this is basically a garden rake taped to your hands

Submit

At first glance the damage seems pretty bad, but these things consume hardly any stamina with the L1 combo, which can funnily enough stun-lock tough enemies infinitely. It's a clumsy weapon no doubt and it has some weird hitbox issues with it's running attack, but it's probably one of the most fun weapons in the game. Haven't tested it on bosses yet, but it absolutely destroys lothric knights. This is only at +8 at 30 Dex, Sharp infused with Lightning blade/Flame arc.

Submit

It's ability to trigger bleed isn't really the problem (it actually accomplishes that pretty well even on Hollow-Rouge builds), it's that the claw moveset is just so damn poor (slow, short range, awkward hit-boxes, no poise) that finding ways to pressure without spamming the WA makes it very difficult to use. The most reliable ways to attack were just R1-L1 and occasionally the unique rolling R1 (just cause it catches players off-guard but it's fairly easy to avoid once you see it).

Submit

Invaders seem to hesitate a little when they see me wielding these. Why is that?

Submit

the weapon art is insane with pontiffs right eye and carthus rouge

Submit

Nice ambush weapon to wait near cliffs with chameleon.

Submit

This or frayed blade?

Submit

This destroys no poise peeps

Submit

If there is any reason to use these (aside from being cool as hell), it's to punish R1 SS spammers.

Submit

I think I found the game breaker...

Submit

Looks cool with blessed weapon and darkmoon blade

Submit

this doesn't mention that you can parry with it in your off-hand

Submit

ah,this is freddy kruger's weapon of choice

Submit

I just made my first Luck build and holy crap, I don’t remember this weapon being so strong. It really shines when you rush at someone with their shield raised, stun them through the whole combo, bleed them twice, then break their guard and get a free critical. I haven’t tried with Pontiff’s Eye yet, but I already feel like I’m cheating lol. That hyper armor is obscene.

Submit

throwing a bleed infused full wp at an ultra user being like REEEEeeeeeEEEEeeeEEEEeEEEeeee

Submit

i used this to farm chaos gem and other drops, hollow build with bleed infusion is a weapon art spamming that trigger blood like a fountain, the pm are not even necessary, you just need the L2 combo to obliterate everything

Submit

99 dex and a pine bundle usually nets about 1000-1300 damage, no pontiff rings or other buffs needed. if you want to really max it out (only going to 132 at max) 60 dex 60 faith (hunter+milk+priestess, use either fap+3 or prisoner with it, or chlor+3 if you dont fear death) and you can easily kill anybody with just one weapon art. Sharp ofc, any other infusion is complete garbo unless your going for bleed, in which case hollow+rouge should net eh 60-70 bleed per hit at 40 luck. sharp far outweighs hollow+rouge in damage though, even with a bleed proc.

Submit

hot garbage

Submit

Started out with a str/dex build, ended up with 40 str/dex and 50 int/faith. Infused these with chaos gem for scaling with int/faith. Add Pontiff's Right Eye and fire clutch ring. Easily get massive damage very quickly. With the stun locking it makes short work out of invaders......as long as Wolverine's berserker rage attack actually connects...lol

Submit

How well does the WA proc with Pontiff Eyes or the equivalent Old Wolf sword or Carthus Beacon?

Submit

Decided to try those yesterday. Natural bleed build-up with sharp infusion (or without) appears to be non-existant, tested on numerous different enemies as well as PvP. Never worked, not even once. It does, however, has an uncanny potential to stunlock oponents into oblivion due to cheap stamina cost of L1. L2 attack will most likely guarantee a chain of staggers if landed directly into your victim. Overall a clumsy but fun weapon.

Submit

People say this weapon is bad but so far it's an amazing weapon super fun in PvE and PvP, win some loose some but always have fun with em

Submit

these things are absolute garbage in pvp

Submit

Use Hidden Weapon on these and then perform the Weapon Art for sp00ky Jojo Reference

Has anyone tried a LoZ Zant build with these?
