Main article: Weapon Types

Curved Swords are a type of weapon in Dark Souls.

Overview

Curved Swords are very similar to Straight Swords, but have less range and a higher attack speed. This is suitable for confined spaces where enemies will have trouble dodging or blocking long strings of attacks.

Curved Swords perform mostly Slashing attacks with very few Thrust attacks; most enemies in heavy armor or scales are resistant to their damage.

All Curved Swords replace the kick attack (forward+attack) with an evasive attack that causes the player to slash the target and flip away.
