Notes from author
This is as close to a cosplay of Abyss Corrupted Knight Artorias as I could get it. Even the Item set is true to the feel and lore of the Proud Knight. The Havel's ring is the only exception, and it was to make the build PVP viable. The ONLY weapon is the Corrupted Sword of Knight Artorias, as is true to the cosplay, so parrying will have to be either bare handed or not at all. Preferably not at all since the boss fight never hand a parry from the boss in it.
USE:::
The weapon attacks like a regular greatsword, dealing pure physical damage, and eating up poise and shield stamina. The one hand heavy attack is the 360 spin slash that the boss uses on you. it CAN BE BLOCKED, but most people like to roll away from it, giving you a chance to do a jumping attack on them. the TWO HANDED heavy attack is a rolling somersault into an overhead slam. People usually dont expect a long ranged attack with a greatsword, so you could use that for an opening attack, but if you miss, you WILL BE VULNERABLE, the recovery from the attack is around 2-3 seconds of being hunched over. But if it lands, you WILL slma them to the ground. This weapon has wonderful combo capabillities and potential, but it will be up to you how to make it work.
Pre fight load up a blossom and switch to the lyoyd's talisman in case the invaded host wants to randomly pop a few estus flasks. Because that just wont do now will it?
