Scimitar | Dark Souls 3 Wiki

+5 Sharp Scimitar has S scaling in Dex. pls fix

Submit

The weapon art is anime but it deals so little damage... less than a regular attack
now compare it to sword dance from elden ring

Submit

At +9 Crystal you get B Dex scaling and S Intelligence Scaling

Submit

R1 R1 , R1 R1.

Submit

This weapon’s light hit cannot get parried for some reason.

Submit

say what you will about ds3 but if nothing else the scimitar has finally beaten the falchion

Submit

It's like the PKCS with a more fun weaponart. It's not quite as long, but has a much longer hitbox than it appears

Submit

Fast and damaging weapon, available to anyone willing to invest a little bit into it.

Scales extremely well with any elemental infusion and sharp infusion.

Only downside is very short reach of your attacks, but speed makes up for it. Rewards proper spacing.

Submit

I don't know if it's just me or something but I get S in Dex at +6 sharp, when from this table it says you'll get A.

Submit

Wonderful weapon for my light-roll pirate build; 20 Vit (15 +5 from Prisoner's Chain) with Chain, Havel's Bling +3, and Fapper +3 gives me room for Scimitar, Iron Round Shield, and a ROSP +3 to help balance the Chain's defense penalty (adds 5% physical absorption in PVP).

Armour is: Ragged Mask, Antiquated Ornate Garb, Slave Knight Gauntlets and Leggings. Fashion and function is great to have, especially with a weapon as stylish and strong as the Scimitar <3

Submit

Superb weapon. Minimal stat requirements, but great scaling on physical infusions as well as elemental infusions make this a jack of all trades fast curved sword that every build can use. It may not outrange PKCS but on certain builds it will certainly outdamage. 10/10 would recommend

Submit

This good with a lightning infusion on a faith build?

Submit

This weapon is so busted it's banned in a lot of PvP tournaments. If someone who knows what they're doing hits you with this once, you can't do anything but watch your character die.

Submit

Superb Dex weapon when Sharp Infused. Lighting fast strikes and decent crowd control. Isn't stuck with dagger or caestus's wimpy reach. This was my primary weapon through my entire Dex run, with the Lothric Knight Long Spear as a backup for certain situations.

Submit

This weapons is useless garbage since pkcs exist.

Submit

currently my main weapon since LKSS is for tryhards

Submit

The design for this weapon is ugly, they made the handle too long, so it can be two handed I guess. But IRL these weapons were not used 2 handed, like the dagger, which looks so dumb two handing.

Submit

Pontiff Knight Curved Sword's infusible but shorter cousin

Submit

why use this when PKCS exist?

Submit

The scimitar is hopeless against anything with poise or a shield. The longsword can bust shields, out range it with pokes, and break poise in 2 to 3 hits. But it's still fun when I'm not getting demolished.

Submit

as weird as it may sound, my current meta is actually a +10 sharp scimitar buffed with crystal magic weapon and up to 40 dexterity levels, i know its a very low meta, but its for PvE, not PvP, and you also have to consider that my other options are either sellsword twinblades and pontiff knight curved swords, and i just sold the only sellsword twinblades from road of sacrifices, and pkcs cannot be buffed or infused and also is extremely difficult to upgrade it to +10 because its upgraded via twinkling titanite, so basically the only still-available option is scimitar, and its actually pretty good at PvE when at +10, sharp-infused with 40 or 50 dexterity and buffed with crystal magic weapon

Submit

The tables aren't correct. My +10 scimitar with 26dex/40/40 fth int has # EAAA scaling. I'm bringing dex up to 40 and it already has higher than 520 AR. That's insane for such a light weapon. Running R1, Strong attack into backflip slash and finish with spell of choice. Good luck living through that!

Submit

This*****ty ass abomination of a cs can never be as good as the pkcs. Casuls pls, don't rely on this***** to fight with pro pkcs user.

Submit

No matter how hard I look, I can't find a better weapon than Crystal Scimitar +10 for my pure sorcery build... Strength req is only 7, weight is only 2.5... I've fully upgraded the shotel and the shortsword with crystal infusions and the scimitar still beats them out. I rarely use my sword so it's nice to have something in the dagger weight range so I can wear decent armor and still get a fast roll.

Submit

Put a dark infusion on this beauty and enjoy , also if you have good spacing you can kill pkcs users very ez .

Submit

Very good with heavy infusion! I'm almost level 70 and can now get vordt down to 50% health in under 5 minutes!

Submit

for my griffith build, this or richards rapier? (I wanna do NOTHING WRONG when making the build)

Submit

Holy***** this weapon is a beast. Now what are the flaws with curved swords? - low to average damage - pathetic range -most of the R2’s can only work as a mediocre mixup every once in a while. -sometimes difficult to exert pressure. Now, what the pros? -really fast -low stamina -consumption -safe on whiff most of the time - absurd punish game - R O L L I S B A D N O W. and that’s all it needs

Submit

This little scaling beast!

Submit

This weapon is available right from the start, and a thief can wield one with no investment. A weapon to consider if you select thief, at least for a while.

Submit

This thing has the phantom range of a goddamn spear.

Submit

It's pretty better with dark infusion because AA, but lightning and sharp are overall good options

Submit

Any of you see those warriors from Hammerfell?...

Submit

this weapon against boss is absolutely fucking AMAZING. lightning infused scimitar gets S scaling for faith and B for dex, RIP lothric and soul of cinder

Submit

Table is wrong

My Sharp Scimitar+3 has S scaling

Submit

good if you follow up to a rune 2h for the k0

Submit

Poison Scimitar +3 has a 41 poison build up
Scaling and damage are true if i recall

Submit

If the moveset wasn't*****, the triple-A DEX/INT/FTH scaling when dark infused would be amazing

Submit

Dark infused has A scaling for faith, int and dex.

Submit

Most People always underestimate weapons like this at later levels... Those same People are fools. Hard to believe, isn't it?

Submit

still one of my favorite weapons to use, even if the range is a little on the low side

Submit

The chaos infusion has A scaling for faith/int at lvl 8 (maybe already 7, didn't pay attention)

Submit

Ends up with s scaling for faith on a lightning infusion

Submit

This weapons kick is the best well get to the ninja backflips.

Submit

Needs updated, starts off with a B dex scaling.

Submit

The stats for the scimitar at +8 chaos infusion are wrong, mine is: 99phys with 96 fire and its scalings are E str A dex C int C faith

Submit

Curious to try this Bleed infused..

Submit

I really lyke this weapons moveset and appearance but no matter how I look at it, the carthus curved sword is just much better. I would much rather use this one but the carthus has much higher base damage, a bleed auxiliary, and higher range, compared to the scimitar having... slightly better scaling and thats it.*sigh*

Submit

I have spent hours doing pvp with this weapon on my dex/int. Buff build and it is just amazing. It has a great scaling and a great moveset.

Submit

So is this still basically a weaker but less weighty and lower stat-req. version of the falchion or has it gotten some distinction?

Submit

Great dexterity scaling, very fast two handed R1. If you have the discipline not to spam, this is a deadly weapon against pretty much anything in pvp. I've been invading with it for the last 6 hours and I only failed to kill 3 targets. Most of these people are running around with dark swords too.Wouldn't be surprised if it got nerfed to be honest. But of course people would have to notice it first and I've literally never seen anyone else using one.

Submit

As title says, just like DS2
