Longsword

The  is a Straight Sword in Dark Souls.

Availability
The Longsword is the starting weapon of the Warrior class. It is sold by the Andre of Astora for 1000 souls. It is an uncommon drop from Undead Soldiers (Sword).

Characteristics
Often overshadowed by the Balder Side Sword, the Longsword is nonetheless a very good and versatile weapon which can be relied on for the entire game and beyond(PvP). The poor C scaling can be alleviated by turning it into a Divine/Occult or Magic/Enchanted weapon.

The strong attack is the straight sword's family trademark vicious thrust with a good range, which can then be followed by a quick vertical slash. Do note that the vertical slash has lower range than the thrust itself, so judge the distance carefully.

Compared to Balder Side Sword the Longsword has shorter range but comes with lower stat requirements.

Upgrades
Requires: 200 Souls and Titanite
