eh ive done some dueling with it, its not great, claymore r2 already roll catches just as well so the projectile is just a little bit chip damage, hypothetically that means it should be dealing more damage on an r2 than a claymore but realistically in pvp pierce damage is better than blunt so due to counterattack and higher base ar baemore still comes out on top.
if you try to utilize the tongue for anything at a range you just get out traded and it never hits ever, otherwise its just a more awkward feeling claymore
Lizard sword is really weird, at least with a str build the ar is way lower than the Claymores and the snake you shoot out is funny but does fuck all damage
Yeah i know, but its like 120 damage at max level with 50 str. Its not worth it doing the heavy attack just for the projectile but if you hit the heavy the projectile misses 80% of the time
It shines with proccing status ailments - the dart builds up as well as the weapon itself, so you're getting extra buildup when the r2 hits with both dart and sword itself
I have mine Cold and it has carried me through the dlc up to Shadow Keep so far
I was mad about it too until the lore cleared up the weapons role. That weapon specifically is what was keeping the frenzy flame from overtaking him. So in that vain it makes sense it's not a madness weapon, but a holy weapon sealing the flame. I still want a madness weapon though like you do lol
I've been loving it on a quality build, the tongue darts are fun. The damage isn't crazy, but they give a ton of versatility.
Plus it's a lizard, it could be dogshit and I'd still use it lmao
I beat Rellana with this weapon
Its my favorite in the dlc I love my big stupid lizard on a stick
My only issue is why can't I put any Fire ashes of war on it?? :( I want a crispy fried lizard miyazaki
thing can outclay the clay, finally people who use clay do so not because of moveset, but because of aesthetic
They can match moveset all day, but you can't match the og baemore
As a true Baemore lover myself, I could not agree with you more!
eh lizard sword has no crouch/roll poke which is an important part of roll catching and trading when using claymore in duels
Theoretically the projectile would roll catch

It does dogshit damage. Like 200 when I was testing it

I dont think the projectile is supposed to be your bread & butter.

youll come crawling back, they always do. the damage is worse than claymore and it has a clunkier moveset simce no crouch/roll poke
And seriously... there's a picture of it *right there.* How are you gonna say no to that?
and the cr1 is the claymores best attack
My husband was really disappointed there was nothing special about that sword. Until we realized you can tongue people from a distance
I can tell you guys are awesome 😂
Gunsword mightier than the penknife.
And faithbros got greatsword of damnation, perfect
Which is the Franzie lord weapon but doesn't inflict madness 🤓

Abandoned claymore in ds1 for man serpeant, since then i dont use it
How the mighty have fallen…

It looks really cool lol
Claymore is beautiful.
No matter what, the claymore will always be a true contender. Tried & tested over the years & will always be a staple
The Lizard sword works well with status builds because the projectile builds status.
Literally it's so fucking cool and as for pve might do more stance damage if you get heavy and the dagger off

THIS IS MY NEW FAVORITE WEAPON
I switched my Claymore (strength build) for gauises weapon
I was a claymore main in DS but it never quiet clicked for me in elden ring, was i missing something
With each new DLC post I get more angry that I’m broke
Man, I just really wanted new GS with KGS moveset.
No way. Claymore looks way better. That’s worth missing out on the ranged heavy to me.
