Each weapon has its own merits and drawbacks that define its position against others. Perks, buffs, and attributes make a weapon stronger or useless. To label any weapon as potent or practical, its ability to work in sync with the three factors mentioned above is crucial. Besides, which weapon you should deploy will vary depending on which part of the game you’re playing. you may either use daggers early on in the game if you like quick attacks or become one with your great sword to counter enemy weaknesses by timing your attacks according to their movements.
10Scraping Spear
With this type of weapon, you may inflict narrow attacks to dole out damage from mid-range in combat. Scraping Spear has a unique ability to reduce the toughness of the enemy armor and weapons, allowing you to deal more damage than you’re normally capable of.
It reduces opponents' equipment durability with each hit; however, this long spear can not be upgraded, and its durability damage does not scale with stats.
9Morion Blade
Usually held with both hands, Morion Blade is a long sword in Demon’s Souls that is capable of dealing heavy damage with a single attack. Bear in mind that Morion Blade makes you vulnerable to fast enemy attacks.
You can craft Morion Blade at Blacksmith Ed with a Storm Demon Soul, the material used to trade and unlock upgrades like abilities and spells. Though it can not be upgraded, it increases the damage output by 60% when the character’s HP is less than 30%.
8Great Axe
This is another viable option for players, thanks to its little stamina depletion and great damage output. Great Axe can break guards easily with a longer range than other axes, leaving its wielder vulnerable to punishment.
Great Axe can be found in the Smithing Grounds and Tunnel City. The weapon, which blows enemies away with its weight, is too heavy to wield with average strength.
7Meat Cleaver
Referred to as a large hammer despite its sword-like appearance, Meat Cleaver delivers immense power, performing heavy and slow attacks with a good range. It can be used effectively against heavily armored enemies, as well as breaking their guards with a couple of attacks.

you may apply the Bleed status effect against enemies with Uchigatana and deal a small amount of damage for a period of time. Despite its less damage output compared to other katanas, Uchigatana sets itself apart by not dealing damage to its wielder.
5Blueblood Sword
Take a Pureblood Demon’s Soul and a Broken Sword to Blacksmith Ed to craft this unique weapon that works in its own way.

Usually held with both hands and composed of enchanted light, it deals heavy damage with slow attacks, requiring its wielder to watch out for fast enemy attacks not to be killed.
This crystal blade is also impossible to block with a shield, meaning it can be used against enemies with a shield and armor. It also has a magic reduction effect that increases your defense.
Another huge sword with blowing attacks, Claymore can be acquired early on in the game, and it helps you keep up the pace until you find a better option for the mid-late game. It inflicts a huge amount of damage upon enemies while depleting their stamina with an overhead attack.
It can be acquired from Dregling Merchant for 6000 souls as well as being dropped by Blue Eye Knight. Claymore breaks enemy guards to make them vulnerable to smashing attacks with a variety of vertical chops and horizontal cuts, making your combat more enjoyable.
2Crescent Falchion
Falchion is a curved sword that specializes in slashing attacks, setting itself apart from long swords with its mobility. You can move and perform attacks faster and easier, as curved swords in Demon’s Souls are wielded by players with one hand.
Keep in mind that Crescent Falchion has a limited effect on metal armor and hard scales. It causes the enemy to bleed, which deals a small amount of damage for a period of time.
1Magic Sword “Makoto”
It drains the wielder’s health in return for higher damage output. Makoto is a cursed katana said to devour the wielder’s essence, granting an immense power to slice enemies into pieces. It inflicts slashing and thrust attacks, as it has also a level of mobility compared to long swords.
Bear in mind that the health drain can be offset by equipping a Regenerator’s Ring or Adjudicator’s Shield. You can also use it by repeatedly switching between any other weapon.
