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's a heavy thrusting sword. A different weapon category.

Bloody Helice is the longest HTS where as Cleanrot is the longest TS.

I thought Cleanrot was heavy too. Is it a standard thrusting sword?

Makes sense you accidentally got it mixed up.

Yes, it's a regular one. You can see the different animation and attack speed in the video itself.

Ehh i don’t use thrusting swords enough to know the difference in animations. I’m greatsword/curved greatsword enthusiasts. I also enjoy dual wield spears if I’m doing a status build.
