Notes from author
If you don't know, the offhand zweihander can perform a true combo into a variety of righthand attacks if it stuns the opponent (it deals 50 poise) and the opponent does not toggle the hit. Among the many attacks that do this is the fast greatsword 1h r1. But, experienced players will often toggle the hit and attempt a parry. Throw a dragon roar into the mix along with a righthand Avelyn, and suddenly you have a really deadly combo. Hit the opponent with the offhand zwei, then immediately dragon shout. Now, as you were doing this, a couple of things may have happened:
1) Your opponent did not toggle the hit, in which case they will either stand still stupidly, or they will roll away in a straight line. Either of these scenarios will result in them getting dragon buffed bolts belted to the face. Tremendous damage.
2) Your opponent toggles the hit, and attempts a fancy parry. This spells absolute doom for your opponent. While it is possible that the parry animation can prevent the roar stun, it will more likely roar stun them, in which you can perform the roar to avelyn true combo for a tremendous 600-900 damage.
3. Your opponent toggles the hit, and attempts to strafe bs you. Luckily for you, the roar will cancel the bs damage! Although it gets a little hazy if the hit was at a weird angle, if the opponent is in front of you for the hit, the roar will cancel it 99% of the time.
4. The opponent will roll to the left or right after being hit or after toggling the hit. Interestingly enough, this is less safe for the opponent than rolling away in a straight line. More testing needs to be done, but it seems it's easier to cause the roar stun even after the opponent rolls. This is harder to achieve if the opponent has DWGR though.
In any case, you also have a Great Lord Greatsword at your disposal too, so you have a lot flexibility. A big thanks to Chaon105 for helping me test this out. Enjoy!
