Notes from author
The best way to utilize The Throngler is to constantly weapon/shield swap during every fight, and if under pressure, replace the armor, gauntlets, and leggings with Giant's. All weapons that can possibly be used, with the exception of most shields, and excluding redundant weapons (i.e don't get Scimitar if you have Falchion, and don't get Scythe if you have Gargoyle's Halberd. If the weapon has any special effect, or even slightly altered moveset, it's okay to use.), should be on standby at all times, even if you need to two-hand them. (Shields to use: Black Knight shield, Bloodshield, Grass Crest Shield, Crystal Ring Shield, Crest Shield, Eagle Shield, Effigy Shield, Peirce Shield, and Spiked Shield. If you want to, replace the shield with Avelyn,) Go nuts, have fun.
