Straight Swords (Dark Souls)

What is a Straight Sword?
Most of the general Straight Sword attacks are like exaggerated versions of Dagger attacks, and that is the best way to think of this weapon. Each swing is just that little bit slower than a Dagger, but as an upside, the attacks all have slightly better range and normal damage. These weapons do not have the high Critical Attack modifier of the Daggers, so while their normal damage output is greater, their critical damage usually works out less. The extra attack range these weapons have do make them better for attacking multiple opponents. If, however, you are having trouble landing critical attacks; the extra normal damage is a welcome upgrade over Daggers.

Straight Swords are a good all rounder weapon with quick attack speed and decent damage.
