      This thing has a guaranteed panic roll catch that no one is talking about. R1 -> L2 (only first part of Wa) -> hold R1 or spam it -> Jump attack. This R1 after L2 will roll catch anyone who panic rolled its up there with Straight sword R1R1 R2 but much more deadly because of jump attack combo with R1.

      To sum it up
      R1 L2 R1 Jump attack if opponent far away

      Or

      R1 L2 R1 full WA if opponent rolls into you.

      Ofcourse this procs with consecutive attack benefit to further make it deadly.

        This weapon does more dmg with r1s than my black knight gs. Even tho bkgs has higher dmg in character screen. This seems odd, any explanation?

          Just finished a NG+ run with this, can confirm that it whips in most pve and pvp scenarios. With pontiff rings + chloranthy + poise + carthus beacon you can play very aggressive against smaller mobs and even some bosses. And for pvp, not a lot of people seem to expect or know how to deal with the R1 => L2 => R2 combo, was very happy to take trades against bigger and faster weapons to get that off. That multi-hit felt especially nice the times when it broke through a tears of denial proc.

          Def a lot of fun, def worth the ghru grind to get this thing.

            Now that i think about it... are the pontiff's eye rings truly his eyes, or a replica from the wolf of farron's eyes? It could explain why the sulyvahn's knights behave like quadruped beasts. I had that thought because the sword is said to have the old wolf's soul, and there's a lot of wolves where sulyvahn came from.

              Doesn't hardcap at 60 dex. Between 60 and 71 dex it gains less than 1 AR per level, but beyond 71 it gains 1-2 AR per level all the way up to 99.
