Lothric Knight Sword is a Weapon in Dark Souls 3.
A well-crafted straight sword designed for thrusting attacks, wielded by the venerable Knights of Lothric.
The Knights of Lothric, with their drakes, once crushed anything that threatened their shores. Of course, that was a long, long time ago.
Skill: Stance
While in stance, use normal attack to break a foe's guard from below, and strong attack to slash upwards with a forward lunge.
Notes and Tips:
- Can be Infused and Buffed.
- Reinforced with Titanite.
- All weapons have motion values assigned to each attack, which are modifiers to AR that are associated with the attack being used.
- The Lothric Knight Sword has a motion value of 220 on backstab, 275 on riposte, and 66 + 247.5 on Hornet Ring riposte. The motion value of a backstab with a straight sword does not change with Hornet Ring.
- The Lothric Knight Sword has a range of 34.8389xl 1h R1 and 34.526xl 2h R1.
- The Lothric Knight Sword has thrusting R2s.

Scaling quality is from highest to lowest as follows: S/A/B/C/D/E.The higher the player's [Str, Dex, Mag, Fire, Light] stat, the higher the [Attack Bonus: Stat] is (found on the player status screen). The higher the scaling letter, the higher the percent multiplier applied to the [Attack: Stat].This resulting bonus damage is added to the base physical damage of the weapon and is shown in the equipment screen in blue numbers as a "+ X".
Durability: The weapon's HP, when the durability hits 0, the effectiveness of its attacks become weakened to the point of almost uselessness. When an items durability is low, a message will come up saying "Weapon At Risk!" at this point the weapon does not perform at it's best.

Stability: How well the player keeps stance after being hit
Attack Type: Defines what kind of swing set the weapon has: Regular(R), Thrust(T), Slash(Sl), Strike(St)

This weapon, while infused with either Dark or Chaos, has the highest AR in the game (935), at 99 in STR, DEX, INT and FTH.

In Elden Ring I think Lordsworn's Straight Sword is the replacement. You can get it almost immediately, along with the brass shield (aka black knight shield, equipped with 69 guard boost/stability, so exact same stats and weight class). LSS also has the 110 critical mod like the LKS has, but I don't know about the range and motion value.

I think it's really cool that the comments here about this weapon have gotten a lot tamer and less toxic. It's a great weapon, especially if you are going for the element dark/chaos infusion. With C C A A scaling this is an insanely powerful weapon in both PvE and especially if used correctly in PvP. I mean the range and DPS, the extra critical bonus, 18 dex, 40/40 intel/faith, massive damage output. I've gotten creamed by this thing many times when I was new to the game, and I was a bit salty, lol. But I practiced on and on to git gud at parrying, and now, if you come at me with this, you best come correct. My parry shield, hornet ring, and chaos dagger are waiting. Cheers to everybody playing DS in 2023. And if you haven't yet, for PC users, check out the Convergence mod, it's pretty sick.

Ah the 2 thrusts on 2 heavy attacks are so good and fun. Can't stand the heavy thrust followed by heavy uppercut slash which plagues most straight swords. Elden ring did not learn properly
- Anonymous
the people saying it has an A scaling with sharp +10 are wrong, its S scaling with sharp at +10
- Anonymous
At +10 with Sharp Infusion it doesnt have S scaling but A.
Has it been nerfed?

I thought this weapon was a bit OP and cheesy but after playing Elden Ring and mashing sword dance through most of the mobs, I feel like Einstein using the varied moveset of this sword.
"The Lothric Knight Sword has a range of 34.8389xl 1h R1 and 34.526xl 2h R1."
What in the **** is that supposed to mean?

I'm farming this sword for my pyromancer and it doesn't drop f*ck. The knight under Tower of the wall bonfire have droped 6 crosbows and the armor set with several parts repeated and still not a single sword.

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

My first character was a strength build, had a lot of fun with it. I heard a lot about dark builds and was told this was the weapon of choice that everyone hates facing, so naturally I wanted to see what all the fuss was about. I never really have problems in PvP facing people with this weapon because I find straight swords real easy to parry. So i made a character based on using a dark and chaos version of this, (510 AR) popped a few extra points into strength so I could use the black knight shield figuring that would really tick people off and i have no idea what all the drama is about. I'm no doubt a noob with this build and using SS's in general, but I was getting parried left and right using this thing, and weapons that use the perseverance WA seem to be able to counter spammers if you are not good with parrying, although you should be if you do a look of dueling. I mean its definitely a good weapon, great reach and best SS moveset, really good on my Pyro in PvE but in PvP I thought it was pretty average, just like the long sword but with a longer range and slightly better moveset and scaling. Although the 110 critical definitely sets it apart. But I do not understand where the hate comes from and I was really trying to play like a punk too. hahahaha. I dunno, maybe if my skill level was higher I would do better with it, but i thought all the anger comes from this being a weapon that requires very little skill.

The notes specifically mention one-handed thrust heavy attacks, for the record it has thrusting heavies when 1h & 2h
Perfect moveset, stance, buffable, long as sin. This thing is versatile even by straight sword standards. Miyazaki even stepped in to add an extra 10 critical before the game shipped, the complete lunatic

Faith builds benefit more from the sunlight straight sword, if you are playing faith you are going to want to use SSS not LKS
sidenote: lightning infusion spell and dark infusion spell is definitely the way to go when using SSS

Am I missing something here? After running a bunch of calcs the long sword outdamages this on pretty much every build and has the same r1 r1 r2 combo. Idk how accurate this wiki’s range testing is but according to it, long sword only has .9 units less range.
I don’t know man. Between all that and the lower usage requirements LKSS just kinda seems like a worse long sword. Though LKSS does look cooler for fashion

The R1 spammers can be bothering some times, but de phantom range/ network is the real issue, this shid outrange almost everything.

you guys call it meta because everyone uses it, but it gets outperformed by ringed knight straight sword (quality build) or gotthard's twinswords (any build) in the hands of a good player. and that's just mentioning other straight swords, there are other much stronger setups (hello pkcs and murky :))))))))) )
it is good, but far from overpowered, simply a strong all-rounder that is decently effective even if wielded by a bad player, and very popular for this reason.

This sword is great with its sword length but let me tell you, broadsword is the mvp for me, carry me throughout the game. But everyone has their own playstyle, we shouldnt mind others using this weapon, its their choice

Is the Refined enhancement worth dumping my Strength into for a 40/40 quality build, or would it be more effective to just toss a Sharp enhancement on LKS for a 12/40 Dex build and dump my 30 points elsewhere?

Cosplaying a Lothric Knight right now. The armor is way heavier then I thought it was, but it's pretty fun so far. I'm going to start getting some miracles ready.

The Lothric knights are masters of illusion in lore, and it is this mastery that allows them to hide 90% of their 6 meter long sword.

Use this weapon so I could get an easy kill by parrying you to death : )

I know all you baby wannabe try hards think this is the ultimate meta weapon, but it's actually complete trash compared to the all mighty PKCS! While all you LKSS scrubs are mindlessly r1 spamming away with this inferior "meta weapon" that's way slower than the PKCS and going for predictable parries I'll easily out space you and dead angle my swings to avoid your obvious noob parries then point you down after easily killing you with my PKCS to show you what the real meta weapon is!

Probably the best straight sword in the game. It has S scaling in Dex/sharp, lightning/faith and intelligence/crystal and simple, including the BB in refined and 2 A scalings in dark and fire. (Sorry for the long comment ;)

I used it in the arena and won 3 duels in a row! Definitely give this sword a try if you haven't yet, its truly a hidden gem in this game

is it best to have a refined infusion for a 30/30 - 40/40 quality build? I saw the sharp infusion has a S in dex, but I'm sticking to a quality build.
Blood is the best infusion, because that is how you get the most damage.

Id like to try an hybrid int build, using this and a parry shield, could be any good?

Hey there, pkcs guy! Too fast for me you say? I ll just outspace you to death or parry you. What? Infinite r1s? Well, maybe you didn't heard about wa r2 with enough hyper armor to poke you out of your comfort zone.
And you just got riposted. Only logical when you spam the r1 all day. What else have you got?

Well, he dead. Another one bites the dust.

the s scaling in dex along with good range,move-set and easy obtain option makes this weapon overpowered
- Anonymous
Haven't played this game since 2017 before all the nerfing and crap. I'm making a dark/chaos build and heard this was the go to weapon for that because of A scaling in both intel and faith. I have only 18 dex and still have a 490 AR. Only thing is that it really sucks in PvP because it's so easy to parry, or maybe I am not doing something right, because I see all the drama on this page. I just get parried all day long with it and have a low percentage of wins in PvP with it. I'm much better with heavier strength based weapons. So I have been using this in PvE and the Astora UGS in PvP which also eats wicked A scaling in intel faith. Never played a dark build before but its a lot of fun.

I remember when I got the Balder Side Sword to drop from my 2nd Balder Knight that I killed in DS1. I came here to see if it was decent. It turns out, it was deemed both a DS1 myth due to the low drop rate and also deemed "cancer" because the moveset was "too OP". I used it anyway and I adored it. It wasn't my main but it was Ol Reliable for close quarters stabbing. Fast forward to DS3 and it looks like LKS is the new BSS. Top tier dex weapon, low drop rate... It even has the same moveset as BSS from DS1...and the same level of contempt you get from people here for using it! I can't wait to use this forever and ever now! Thanks for the info. Try parrying if you're one of the salty ones. Anyone halfway decent at parrying wrecks people using this moveset because it is basic and predictable.

I like how in the comments meta tryhard morons fight with other meta tryhard morons and accuse each other of being meta tryhard moron scrubs :D
"Clyymore/Lapp you scrubs!" "No, only pkcs and git gud" "I can f your mom with LKS"
I like this weapon, but I don't exactly like straight swords. Going against a good straight sword user with this can be frustrating though. If they're high damaging but not greedy and you can't parry, they'll probably backstab and that's gonna SUCK. In the right hands, you could slice a mountain in half with this MONSTER.

If I'm being honest,the longsword beats this sword out in every single damage infusion. Even dex which is weird because its an S,the 110 crit is mediocre and it looses the longswords heavy heavy true combo. The length advantage doesn't exist,if thats your need the Gothards are your girls. This weapon is a bit of a trap,its good, but not longsword good.I mean at least it looks nice.

Things good about Lks
1 can be infused and buffed
2 scale very good in refined
3 can kick with it
4 can get in early game
5 regular upgrade
Things good about pkcs
1 weapon art
2 one of few weapons that has frost
3 also can get in early game but not as early as lks
I used them both and if I missed something please tell they both are great

I've fully upgraded so many weapons at this point, but this one still stays my strongest/best.
Not the strongest compared to other weapons, but man it's fun to use since it doesn't drain my stamina too badly.
I'm still trying new weapons, so maybe a new one will become my main eventually.

Pros:
1. very good moveset and range with sweeping r1s, thrust r2s, good utility WA with hyper armor
2. good damage, lower than both long sword and broadsword with same infusions, don t be fooled by S scalling, but the difference is very small
3. can be buffed and infused and works very well with all infusions except heavy, so a very versatile weapon
4. good r1-r1-r2 combo. also r2 can be delayed to roll catch.
cons:
1. high stats needed to wield 11/18 str dex, much more than long sword, but this wont be an issue for dex or quality builds, just for elemental infusions
other:
One of the best weapons in the game. It excells in pvp because of better range and moveset compared to other SS. It does a good job in pve as well, but if one just wants a SS just for pve, long sword is by far the better option with lower stat requirments, ligher and higher damage, while having a very good moveset as well. Lkss is a very versatile weapon for pvp and can be used as both primary and backup weapon. 18 dex is a comintment though for pure magic users so they have to balance the extra points compared to long sword with slightly increased range lkss has over ls. Still if 18 dex fit your build, then I clearly recommend to use lkss as your primary ss.
