During the Dacian wars the Romans increased the thickness of their helmets. Most historians believe it was because of the falx. It's a beastly weapon both in Elden Ring and in history.
yeah playing dual curved swords made me realize how absolutely insane successive attack power boosts are. Falx seems cool but I guess it's kinda the same as any other paired curved sword build - though actually, now that I think about it, only paired weapons like falx (unlike normal weapons that can be powerstanced but are normally 2 handed when you activate two handing) have access to both the dual-weapon moveset AND blocking with the left hand weapon for deflecting hardtear, which is nice. oh and the natural bleed is actually surprisingly uncommon and good. scavenger's curved sword used to be notorious but not so much anymore, and its AR is really poor; overall, the biggest relevance of bleed is just procing lord of blood's exultation and white mask at most, rather than bleed damage itself, because the amount of damage you end up with is so fast you'll just kill the boss before getting a bunch of bleeds.
Indeed! It was the Ash of War that sold me on this curved sword in particular. Attacking that fast just makes the successive attack power that much stronger.
Wing of Astel is crazy powerful. You can build it for it unique ranged R2 or the Ash of War both will do tons of damage and stagger any most things quickly
Curved Swords have some of my favourite movesets. I would recommend checking out the mantis blade. It has baby range, but the unfolding heavy is just so fun and can be surprisingly effective. (Especially if you focus your build on that)
@Sinhsseax I'll put it on the list to be done! It sounds like it could be an interesting combination of successive attack power and fully charged heavy attacks.
This one is the best hornsent weapon hands down (not that it's really hard). If you want to try curved swords, I suggest wing of Astel, it has a cool unique charged R2, a devastating aow and is very strong on an Int build

They added cheek plates because the falx could curve around shields and hit a roman in the face.

Sadly block cancel is bugged on unique dual curved swords
if you like successive attack builds try claws theyre fucking crazy
