Flamberge WA R2 is super powerful, more than it should be. Not gonna get patched in 2019, just saying that weapon deserves more love

One of the best and most versitile wa in the game, 2nd only to the true combo wa's and preserverance. Guard break decimates shields, lunge can be used as spacing mix-ups. And ofc it's on a straightsword... As if straightswords didn't need more power.

Forgot to mention that for some reason you take reduced damage. Because apparently a SS need a WA that has hyper armor and damage reduction.

Has to be one of the best skills in dark souls 3 with a 100% protect weapon art shield and a straight sword.
There's a little trick for the stance weapon skill, if you hold L2 while using the weapon skill, you can go for R1 R2 R1 or R2 R1 R2 combo, and that can eat away half of your human opponent's health if at least 2 hits connected.

It's pretty useless most of the time in pvp since alot of people don't bother with shields, and the rest of the time it's easy to stay out of range.

I've noticed that if I don't have any Fp the guard break doesn't work. It'll do the same animation, but it won't break guard (unless it just happens to wear the stamina down that final bit for a natural guard break)

How do you do this with M&K? Asks a poor guy who has no money to get a controller atm.
Game is so obtuse with its story, it forces people to read. It's hilariously dumb that amount of people who use shields in 2021 yet get guard-broken by the R1 is a non-zero number.
