Sellsword Twinblades are a Weapon in Dark Souls 3.



Paired scimitars used by certain sellswords. The scimitars' sharp blades make for effective slashing attacks, but fare poorly against metal armor and tough scale-covered hides.

With a scimitar in each hand, the wielder can vary their onslaught with unique left-handed attacks when in the proper stance.

Skill: Spin Slash
Slice into foes with a large spinning motion, and continue spinning to transition into a strong attack



Notes and Tips:

  • Can be Buffed and Infused.
  • Reinforced with Titanite.
  • Can perform a parry when one handed in the left hand.
  • This weapon has a high DPS when the paired attacks are used.
  • The Alpha version originally had the Legion Scimitars, which behaved like this particular weapon. It was eventually dropped in the final game, being replaced by this weapon.
  • Based off of a real life weapon called the shashka, which is a Russian hiltless backsword used during the 17~19th century.
  • The fastest attack after running L1 is the WA­ and then R2

Softcaps and Scaling

  • 10/16 = 237 = Base Stats
  • 10/40 = 323 = Dex Softcap
  • This weapon receives minimal scaling from Strength



Location/Where to Find

  • Starting equipment for the Mercenary
  • Found behind the Black Knight in the swamp area in the Road of Sacrifices. Spawning at the Halfway Fortress bonfire, go down past the Lycanthrope Hunters and stick to the right going forward until you find an entrance to a destroyed Keep. Head left and past the Black Knight. The Twinblades are down the hallway on the right. 
  • Fextra Video location (starts at 1h 5m 47s)

      Yes its OP, but its the most fun weapon in this game
      sick moveset that that has more than just 2 attack chain
      really fast, feels like you playing Bloodborne

        Not a big fan of "they are overpowered!"-post, but... man, these things are deadly. With the right resin, they literally cut through every single boss in the game in second. Aldritch got TWO attacks of, then I did the combo on him an 60% of his health was gone in ONE combo. He teleported to the other side of the room, was on fire and another combo killed him before he did a single attack. The whole fight lasted maybe 20-30 seconds.

        Oceiros waddled around the room for half a minute before he was gone. Dragonlsyer Armor buffed himself and was gone, I think I had to dodge one single attack from him. It's ridiculous.

        Invaders also die, no matter what the do. I normally absolutely suck in PVP. But hey, no they come with their spells and heavy weapons, but they are helpless against the humble R1-two-handed combo.

        Fun!

          Is it me or does almost everybody who uses those also have the fallen knight set and grasscrest shield, like everytime i invade someone who uses it they always use the same equipment, is it just because of the cool factor? i suppose it's neat but cmon man, we at anor londo, not farron anymore, hell, i'll take even the knight set, atleast that'd be a change

              If it was uniquely inwardly curved instead of outward it could've been said it's inspired by yatagan. Pommel style and lack of a cross guard fit the bill.

                  After a couple of years I went for a 3rd run and wanted to try dex build. I did try something else but sharp sellsword are just the best considering how fast they are. Chaos blade? Nope. Murakumo? Nope. Dancer's twinblades? Nein.
                  So endgame is found myself with these and I cannot stretch enough how easy this run was for me.

                      If you're using the R1/L1 -> L2 -> L1 true combo in PvP, you can also follow it up with the full Weapon Art and likely rollcatch them with the end of it if they don't roll directly away from you. It also has the upside of blendering them if they try to attack/parry instead of trying to get away, and protecting you from attempting backstabbers if you're dealing with a gank.

                        The Winblades. Fast, reliable, and putting out a good amount of damage make it an incredibly user friendly weapon. Slap your preferred buffs on, and watch healthbars be evaporated.

                          So um, my Chaos Sellsword Twinblades +7 have E/C/B/B scaling, not E/C/C/C as the chart says. (game version 1.15)

                            Just killed Nameless King with this weapon. Dark infused + two handed deals an enormous amount of damage in a quick span of time. It's definitely the Meltsword Winblades for PvE. It's even better when infused with a Sharp Gem to scale with DEX...

                            Sucks for PvP tho. Easy to parry and predictable.

                              Question: People say that straight swords in general are OP, but the in speed runs that I have seen, runners always go for sharp SSTB. Do these blades just have more DPS or is it more a routing thing for speed runs?

                                  These consume less stamina than, at least, the Warden Twinblades. At 20 Endurance I could L1/LB slash 5 times with Sellwords and only 4 times with the Wardens.

                                                    However, if you want to farm concords, use the warden twinblades. You can put minimal strength and dex and set luck to 99.

I got close to 2 million souls and only 3 concord kepts

                                                                  2. good moveset in general and good running atack

                                                                  cons:

                                                                  Best dps weapon and boss weapon in the game hands down. Pretty good in pvp as well. l1 atack makes this weapon very strong with dex faith or dex int builds cause either darkmoon blade/lightning blade/crystal magic weapon will hit the target twice with a single swing (less damage per hit but still ). Pure dex builds work as well. It s damage and moveset makes it a top tier weapon in ds3 and best dex weapon in the game imo at least.

                                                                  • Anonymous

Over 100 more damage in fact. AT 40/40 int/faith 18 base Dex they give around 430 AR with Chaos infusion, but well over 500 AR with sharp + lightning blade, even higher with flame arc. This is a great option if you want a potent fast hitting weapon that is not a Dark/Chaos Lothric knight sword.

                                                                        All my life, I've been playing str character only in every ds. After I platinumed ds3, I somehow felt like wanna try dex once and I heard about this weapon being OP. No kidding, every single boss died so fast with just mashing L1 button.
                                                                        Mine is sharp infused, +10 and buffed with great magic weapon.

                                                                        • Anonymous

                                                                          This weapon is the best PVE weapon in the game. Sharp infuse it and upgrade it to the max, then buff it with spells or resins and you’ll melt through all bosses. It’s damage output is unmatched by anything else.

                                                                          • Anonymous

                                                                            The DS2 attack animations were simply much cooler and better than the DS3 ones. Sad that they havent brought back most of them.
                                                                            Especially the BoneFist was just hilarious.

                                                                              • Anonymous

                                                                                • Anonymous

                                                                                  The funny thing about this weapon is that many casuls got themselves in a delusion that pvp would be as easy as pve with this weapon...I mean like, after thrashing a shhit load of them with my broken straight sword, I realized this fact. Maybe it's just because I'm too good at pvp while the majority of players out there are mostly low skill trash who are making this weapon looks like shiit. But still, I'm sure you get my point.

                                                                                  • Anonymous

                                                                                    also, the jumping attack (one-handed and two-handed R2 of this weapon) is harder to stun/stagger even if you have low poise, because you are in the air, so the only thing that could stun/stagger you would be a strong attack, maybe a well-landed mace or greatsword attack if you have low poise, but if you have high poise like 60+ poise on a full havel set though... oh boi, only a ledo's great hammer could possibly stagger your R2 when in mid-air, the same thing goes for the club and reinforced club jumping attacks

                                                                                    • Anonymous

                                                                                      its also worth to mention that this weapon is very hard to parry except for maybe the R1 two-handed attack which you can parry normaly but not too easily, and the one-handed R1 that is a bit harder than the two-handed but still not actually hard, but the R2 attacks are hard as ***** to parry and the L1 is nearly impossible if not impossible at all, because half of the animation for the R2 attack is a jump and you cant parry a jumping/plunging attack, the club and reinforced club jumping attack is an example of it, and when you can parry its actually hard and require nearly-perfect timing, while the L1 is an attack with two weapons at the same time, and you JUST cant parry a double-weapon attack at all

(not the tutorial area, the one with lothric knights and mostly scrub undead) using the sellsword twinblades, and im having an issue with timing opening attacks and not being interrupted by enemies before i connect. as it is, its my first time playing without a shield/sword setup, and while i have a shield on my back, i would prefer not to have use it just bc i cant time my swings right. any suggestions? and fyi, yes im casual, but im TRYING to 'get gud' lol
