So I did a Smithscript Dagger All remembrance bosses challenge run…

Coming back from hell to say do not go through what I’ve been through. The weapon sucks miserably which is an absolute shame for how cool the concept is. Very bugged behavior from the weapon and beyond bad dps even for a ranged option.

Basically I gave myself the dagger, two ashes of war that go on it and Smithing Talisman at the start of their run.

The weapon has a very cool moveset and the range unlike what I heard before using it, is very generous and fair in my opinion.

Damage output though… it’s literally horrible specially for a ranged pierce weapon which is supposed to get constant counter hits off.

I tried many talisman builds including Smithing talisman, multi-hit talismans, Spear talisman for counterattacks, ritual sword and more but tbh R1 and R2 builds for this weapon just suck, I mean it literally makes Ivory Sickle look like a decent weapon…

Don’t even try status builds because Miyazaki for some reason thought that this weapon would be too OP so it has insanely reduced status builds up with Frost and poison being the highest at ~39 🤣 yes you heard me right… 39… like it doesn’t even scale almost at all with higher arcane level, I literally leveled up 10 arcane levels and didn’t notice a single digit change with either Bleed or Poison affinity. This makes it completely horrible for any bleed builds although kinda meh/fine for one time proc statuses like Frost and poison. Still would prefer S scaling Keen but again… nothing noticeable at all.

If all that wasn’t enough, you might say… well it’s a dagger type so it does less damage and poise but will have insane crit multiplier, right? Nope lol… not only that, this weapon has a bug that does not deal the second part of the crit damage for bosses that take 2 instance of damage (ex. Tree Avatars) when you riposte them 🤣🤣

Scattershot Throw AoW on the other hand was the one redeeming factor that this weapon had going for it. Equip Jarshard, ritual sword, spear talisman and smithing talisman, and every now and then when you are close range you can deal really decent counterattack damages.

Sorry for the rant but I just beat Rykard (had to turn off rykard lava damage lol) with this after nearly 70 mins boss fight and I had to empty myself.

P.S. there’s also a bug with Renalla’s cheeks that no matter how many of them you kill, it doesn’t break her seal so you have to unequip it lol
