Broadsword | Dark Souls 3
Broadsword is a straight sword in Dark Souls 3. You can acquire this great sword early on in the game, and it is indisputably one of the best starting weapons you could get.
The Closest Bonfire: Tower on the Wall
A straight sword with a broad blade designed for slashing. A large sweeping attack makes this effective against crowds, but is prone to deflection from walls in narrow spaces.
Skill: Stance. While in stance, use normal attack to break a foe’s guard from below, and strong attack to slash upwards with a forward lunge.
This is a great sword, as it’s fast and its frontal swings cover a wide area. The stance skill works like a charm against enemies with shields. It scales greatly with strength and so-so with dexterity. If you somehow missed it during your first playthrough and you’ve liked the playstyle of the straight swords like the Irithyll Straight Sword, then this is one to look out for.
This guide will show you the Broadsword location in Dark Souls 3, its stats and what it looks like.
