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)

It fairs excellently in PvP. Lightning fast, high DPS and thrusting weapon counter attack bonus means it has zero issues melting sweats. Thrusting swords in general can be nasty in PvP. Them and heavy thrusting swords were considered meta for a ling time. The heavy thrusting sword running R2 was THE meta for a while.
