Shotel | Dark Souls 3 Wiki

This weapon is really bad it's just inferior to the carthus shotel in every aspect but stamina ( which doesn't matter). It should have the fast 2h curved sword r1, that would be a nice buff. + change the bs animation.

Interesting that the description doesnt mention arstor who created shotels and purging stones (ds1 item descriptions) even though arstors spear exists and gives Informations about him.

Falchion for people who don't like grinding.

Simple, but deadly looking

Only use this if you play as Ethiopia in AoE2.

This weapon really should’ve been made into a paired weapon, potential lost.

Just would like to make the note here that the unique parry animation for the shotel in the left hand is actually really good if you can parry well and like a faster parry, only downside is that there is little room for error unlike shield or katana stance parries, either you make the parry perfectly or with the parry still working with a bit of damage, or you take the full hit of someone's attack, at least in my experience. Overall, I'd still say the parry is great for catching people by surprise, since no one uses it in the left hand.

Lautrec cosplay weapons need I say more

This + Murky Hand Scythe + Wooden Great Hammer + Spiked Mace at SL70 +8 is pretty good

Attention to everyone who disliked my comment below - before disliking please test 2h r1 on shotel and you will see that it shares the same speed with heavy curved swords despite its flip animation instead of a kick. 2h r1 attacks on pkcs and scimitar are faster. 1h r1 attacks have the same speed as the scimitar and pkcs though, but i think no one actually uses fast curved swords 1 handed

Submit

So it is basically a curved sword with flip animation that should have had fast attacks like the other flip curved swords, but doesn't have for some unknown reason. Carthus shotel has more range and damage with the same attack speed, so in fact this shotel is useless :/ Prove me wrong

Submit

this sword is absolute trash compared to the pkcs, only casuls use this

Amazing weapon that hardly gets any use due to being outshined by the other fast curved swords. We all can agree that PKCS is undeniable tied with Demon's Scar for the best curved sword/best weapon in the game, which both are used for different scenarios, but I think that this weapon is just barely behind those two, at least in the curved sword department. It is more often compared to Scimitar, which doesn't make sense since it is almost a straight upgrade. While the Scimitar boasts higher damage in sheer numbers, the Shotel makes up for that with better range and it even includes innate shield piercing. Obviously it is outranged by PKCS and lacks a long range weapon art like it, but it has a few redeeming qualities to grab your interest.

First, it out damages PKCS on a base strength 70 dex build (albeit by a few points) when both builds reach 120. Second, it has the natural shield piecing capabilities, which helps give it an edge against Black Knight Shield meta. Third, it can be used extremely well as a one handed weapon, with a combo to boot. Just like a straight sword, you can use R1->R1->R2 as a pseudo combo, along with the Weapon Art->R2 combo. Fourth, it has amazing wakeup potential after backstabs and ripostes, by using your R2 after they fall onto the ground.

With all of this information, I didn’t even mention this weapon on a Dark build, further boosting its shield pierce. With this in mind, a Dark Shotel also out damages a Dark Scimitar (Funny how they trade places). After taking all of this into account, it completely out damages PKCS and can be used in conjunction with Demon’s Scar if you wanted to mix it up. But many people pair PKCS with an offhand crossbow, so that is another hurdle which may be difficult for a pure dex build to surpass, but I think this weapon might actually be in a three way tie for the best weapon in the game.

Use this with blacksmith hammer, other invaders will SHARE YOU THEIR EMBERS.

Submit

Would’ve been cool if you could’ve bought the two from Patches and then be able to combine them at Ludleth like how you can with the Twin Prince’s Greatsword. Idk, just a thought.

Submit

Instead of letting us buy two, this could just be a dual wield weapon akin to the twin-blades.

Submit

Range feels very short, but dark infused will scare shield huggers into an early grave. Pair with a chaos dagger for best results.

Submit

People seem to have mistaken one of the comments down there. WA R2 combos into another R2

Submit

Carthus shotel has better damage, but uses more stamina

Submit

bruv, the graph is off, I'm at sharp +7 with A scaling

Submit

trivago

Submit

The Attribute Bonuses for Dark are incorrect. I'm at +7 with E/C/B/B.

Submit

Wanna see 50-80% of someones hp dissapear? Dark infusion (or sharp+buff) WA into R2 combo. also eats shields ontop of high stamina damage. Your welcome, this is now more meta then the pontiff curved.

Submit

The Chaos Shotel has a B scaling in faith and intelligence, not a C scaling.

Submit

Pierces shields just fine now. A monster in PVP

Submit

Why is this not a DUEL WEAPON lautric would cry

Submit

Saw the update. Figured my favorite lightning weapon combo would be useful again.Whipped it out in pvp. After upgrading to a +5. Did 40 damage through a kite shield. If I hadn't already purchased a season pass I'd just leave the monotony to from and their quality raw weapon bs.

Submit

Is the Shotel Better on a 40/40 built with Refined or a Dexbuilt with Sharp/Standart?

Submit

Since Update 1.09 all shield piercing weapons now pierce shield. This one doesnt have it. Still doesnt go through?

Submit

I love this weapon, if only they just changed the backstab/riposte animation. It's kinda immersion breaking. Maybe swap it with the GS riposte animation?

Submit

Based on the damage calculator ( http://trogg.net/DS3Calc/ ) the shotel is the highest AR curved sword with the lighter attacks and backflip kick. Am I wrong?

Submit

I think out of all curved swords, this one has the least amount of stamina usage. Its AR and move set also seems better compared to the scimitar but still uses less stamina.

Submit

The note about not bypassing shields. Is this referring to all attacks by shotels? Wasn't only the strong attacks in previous games that ignored shields?

Submit

Aside from the weapon art being great, it can't be parried.

Submit

Just like how Patches tries to kill your character and sell your wares to other customers once you're dead, did Patches also kill Lautrec and is now selling his shotels? Patches does sell two and Lautrec wielded two.

Submit

Has C/C scaling for Str/Dex and 187 from base damage, stability raises to 27. No changes besides that.With 33 str/dex I get 164 from scaling, pretty sweet considering it's only c, must be a higher tier of it.

Submit

is this good for pvp ?

Submit

From what I've learned from playing the Souls games, don't trust an NPC that uses a Shotel.
