Is the balder gear worth grinding in Undead Parish?

The balder swag sword is the go-to. No need to go for second grade trash

I always thought BSS was oversold. The arc on the R1 was nice and wide but the stab on the R2 was too slow and the tracking was so poor it left you wide open. Damage was also middling.
I preferred the falchion for R1 swing & win.

If you can wait until sen's fortress, I think it's a lot easier to farm on the roof there. You'll have the gold ring by then too

It has the best R2 in the game.

Don't you ever- ever say that again

I liked SKSS better, but straight swords in general are overplayed and boring.

i got this without even grinding on my first play through, love this sword

Good bait

I farmed the Silver Knight Straight Sword once, it was pretty cool.

just use the war pick
no one uses the war pick

It's the best moveset of any sword in the game easily. So yes.

BASED AND WAR PICKED PILLED, USE IT TO KILL SIF FIRST BOSS

No. It's overrated as shit
Go for great scythe if you want to do a dex run. The r2 modifiers are straight retarded for both 1h and 2h.

>grinding
Lucklets make me laugh

How come I never hear about people using this thing? It sounds like it's strong as fuck but I never see anyone mention it in any of the games

>Baller Swag Sword
Great if it fits your build. Good scaling and good reach if you are going dex swordsman. Also very fashionable.
>Armor
Pretty good stats. It's not meta or anything but it can take you through the game effectively. If you like the look of it, then it should be good
>medium shield
Really good medium shield but I don't use it because on the rare occasion I have a shield it's a greatshield.
>Rapier/Buckler
I have never used either but they probably aren't bad.

Love killing these nubs in parish

>he fell for the EpicNameBro meme video

Easiest parries of my life against this thing.
