In-game description

Sword given to the lesser giants who fought for the Erdtree during the War against the Giants long ago.

Though they have lost their minds, they stay inseparable from their swords that are in sad shape—such that the gold plating had flaked away.

Attack rating by affinity 13

At Str 29 · Dex 10 · Int 10 · Fai 10 · Arc 10 (each stat at the weapon's requirement, 10 where it has none), one-handed.

From the player's animation events, BehaviorParam_PC and AtkParam_Pc. First hit: seconds at normal speed from the start of the move's animation (uncharged R2s start from a released charge, so they show —). Criticals include the weapon's critical multiplier. * The elemental motion value differs from the physical one shown; the damage uses each. "Own base": a projectile with its own base damage that scales with stats, not a share of attack rating.
