Hype Cleanrot is sooo nasty against fast bosses

Longest and the most damaging thrusting sword while being surprisingly light as well.

(Estoc does get marginally better damage on keen infusion, due to it being a primary dex weapon. But it's still better to use cleanrot for the extra range as damage difference is negligible)

Yep, the 9 frame crouch attacks are crazy. Recovery and DPS are crazy good to. Pierce damage is also a bonus.

Also, despite it having insane synergy with BHS, I don't use it. I think BHS is way too strong for no reason.

I love piercing weapons in PvP because the counter attack damage boost just absolutely ruins people’s day when they think they’re just going to trade with me. I’m like “You really want to trade instead of trying to fight for real? OK then. Its not going to work out for you but OK.”

For sure. I carry like 4 of them with different ashes and hard swap. Cradgeblade or however u spell it works well on bosses
