Thrusting Swords are a weapon type in Dark Souls III.

Thrusting sword movesets consist mostly of quick jabs, although some such as the Estoc have the ability to perform horizontal sweeps. This weapon type performs especially well when buffed as the rapid attacks of a thrusting sword allow buffs such as Crystal Magic Weapon and Lightning Blade to stack damage very quickly. They are also an ideal choice for players that center their builds around Parrying and critical attacks due to their high critical modifiers. When paired with a shield, thrusting swords can attack from behind a raised guard, though care should be taken to watch stamina consumption.
