• The moveset when dual wielding has attacks similar to the Abyss Watchers, and has a 3-attack cycle like all other dual weapons.
• You can chain R1 and L1 attacks. For example: If you do two R1 attacks and then an L1 attack, you'll do the third L1 attack.
• The Parryhas identical parry frames to a medium shield. Same Startup, 2 more active, and 2 less recovery than medium shield (30fps).
• The L1/LB attack is not affected by the weight value.
• TheL1/LB attack deals 9 and 31 poise damage per hit.
• Since it doesn't require FP to be used, it can be handy for low level builds without any investment on Attunement.
• Has an A scaling in DEX when fully upgraded which is unusual for an Ultra Greatsword.
• Regardless of being wielded by either "one-hand" or "two-hands (with off-hand dagger)," weapon attacks will be treated as being "one-handed" along with any of the associated properties of "one-handedness" (i.e.: attacks can still be parried, attacks will still be deflected by shields, no bonus AR from STR, etc.).
• Has an unused Weapon Skill, in which the wielder poses a stance and thrust similar to the Stomp skill.This wasreplaced byParry.
• Both the dagger and the greatsword can be parried.
• The Farron Greatsword is ironically not compatible with the Legion Etiquette gesture, meaning the dagger will disappear when it is performed.
