Washing Pole | Dark Souls 3 Wiki

that range tho (skull face emoji)

Submit

24 less damage than the frayed blade doesnt mean its worse than it, since it can get buffed and get an extra 200+ damage and also has a much better reach and can also parry with its WA besides that it also has a much cooler name and origin , this is the ultimate japanese culture enthusiast weapon

I don't know if this is a bug or not, but I was using this weapon to farm Corvian Knights (claws) for sharp gems and somehow was able to parry with this weapon's WA R1. If someone can confirm this I want them to see if it works anywhere else.

the weapon art can be spammed faster than unsheathe in elden ring and it does a ton of poise damage. enough to hit a boreal outrider out of an attack animation

Why its strongest ar with hollow fusion or how much do you get with it

I believe this name is a nod to Sasaki Kojiro's weapon from the Musashi Miamoto Samurai trilogy (1954-1956), which he called the monohoshizao ("The Laundry-Drying Pole"). Excellent movies. Highly recommend. Not so sure about this hilariously long butter knife, though.

I was looking for a dexterity weapon of every size class for versatility in pvp and im amazed and dissapointed to see this weabu weapon is hardly even a dexterity weapon, littered with quirky weaknesses, and requires 2 more strength to use than the astora great sword. Absolutely sad.

Dunno if anyone mentioned this or not yet, but this weapon only does roughly 2/3 weapon damage if you hit enemies with only the tip

Submit

is this thing good for pve or only for pvp?

ayo can I have some [weeabo garbage]

grabs comically long katana

Submit

This weapon has uniquely lowered poise damage compared to other katana, doing 14 rather than 20. This helps explain its lack of an R1R1 true combo

Running attack moment

Lowest durability but how often does anyone even get warned about a weapon being in danger in DS3? It's happened to me twice on my current character and I'm about to start an NG+3.

Submit

who tf added that cringe addition to the notes and tips

Contrary to it's name, I would not recommend using it as a washing pole. My severed hand can agree with me

This is the worst weapon I've used that doesn't have a reputation for being a bad weapon, if that makes sense. Obviously, weapons like Handmaid's Dagger and Soldering Iron are far worse, but everyone knows those are terrible. This weapon is heavy (therefore it uses more stamina) and it doesn't even have an R1, R1 true combo like every other weapon in the game, among other draw backs. It doesn't have the AR to counteract these disadvantages. The only thing it has going for it is its range. Even then, it's really not that much longer than Onikiri or Frayed Blade. The only real use for the weapon that I can see is to swap to it when someone starts running away so you can use it's admittedly extremely good running R1s. Even then, though, I'd say Frayed Blade is better. While it's a bit shorter, at least you have a good weapon equipped if you're opponent decides to start fighting back or starts using 'turn and burns'. Washing Pole isn't so much a weapon as it is a chase down tool and it's not even the best option for that. It was decent in DS1, but in DS3, I wouldn't recommend it. There's a reason you almost never see it in PVP, despite how cool it looks.

Some of the scaling info may be incorrect for example @ +9 Simple the int scaling is A not B. Where as in this chart it still shows B scaling @ +10

I’m a str user, I like the weapon because of its name.

Submit

I've just figured out that pkcs outclassed this sword in every way possible. Well, except for the R1 range but that's not a problem since pretty much all pkcs players are skilled to the core and will easily own any weeboo scrubs who use this sword. Not to mention that pkcs's WA can still out range it.

Size do matters

This weapon's been such a staple to the Dark Souls series. Good reach, proper scaling, and hits quick.

Someone's going to have to explain to me why I never see it in PvP.

Comically long Katana

This weapons name seems to be a reference to the drying pole, an unusually long katana used by the famed Samurai Sasaki Kojiro in the early 1600’s.

It appears prominently in the book “Musashi”

would a dark infusion be viable for a da4k build

Doing a pick build. I Washington do pure luck but at the hard cap of level 40 luck I decided I might add to other stats. What cool weapons might go well with luck and luck only? If it's just arni 's sword than I will put more deprived stats somewhere else! Good pve is more important.

Submit

This weapon doesn't get double hits on standing r1s, that might not seem so bad if you only spamming running r1 but it means it has way worse standing pressure than other katanas, just use the chaos blade imo, much better damage and stamina consumption

Can anyone tell me why this thing is called Washing Pole? I'm from Germany and the name of this weapon in my language is Nodachi. Did From just made a joke or is this really the English name?

Submit

Why is it written A on max dex scaling but when you go on to the sharp tab it only goes to B ?!

Submit

i thought this was actually a pole when if first saw it in dark souls 1

Submit

bro there's even hate mail on wikis thats pretty bad themz gotta come here for that instead of a forum or even a youtube video about it, when you bought the game you bought the community. imma lay it down like a ham sandwich. read up on murphy's law especially with dark souls or those "dex fags playing weeb the sequel" is still gonna make you go get your dropped souls back. not one soul is givin how one feels about the noob with a hitbox three anime shows long. your still rezzing at a bonfire aint ya...

Submit

"18 STR and 60 DEX nets a Sharp Washing Pole 420 AR" nice

Submit

a shame your character holds it like that. a katana should point toward the ground or the sky, or lay on your shoulder considering its a no dachi (its heavy)... it kills the fashion souls for me
