Onyx Blade

Lore

Elfriede, the eldest amongst her sisters and leader of the Sable Church, bestowed this sword to her knight.

Only, the sword was a farewell gift, and acceptance signified the knight's resignation from Elfriede's service.

Skill: Elfriede's Blackflame
Enwreathe blade with blackflame, born of the similarly-hued flame that smolders within her.

Effect

Availability

• A drop from Sir Vilhelm, located in the library at the end of the Corvian Settlement inside the Painted World of Ariandel.

  • All
  • One Handed R2 replaced with strong Dark/Thrust > strong rightward downwards Dark/Standard
  • Two Handed R2 replaced with strong Dark/Thrust > strong rightward upwards Dark/Standard
  • Rolling R1 replaced with fast Dark/Thrust
  • All other moves also contain Dark damage, creating split damage.
  • The skill Elfriede's Blackflame gives the weapon a large addition of Fire damage.
    • While this sadly creates three-way split damage, the buff provides a substantially greater attack boost.

Notes

• Strangely the weapon Skill will add Fire damage to your weapon. This is inconsistent with other instances of it as the Black Flame spell is entirely of the Dark element.
• Longest two handed greatsword.

The Damage stats for a weapon are A / B / C / D / E: A is Physical Damage B is Magic Damage C is Fire Damage D is Lightning Damage E is Dark Damage Each weapon has one or more Physical damage types: Standard Strike Slash Thrust Certain enemies are weak or strong against different damage types.

Critical	Damage multiplier when performing a backstab or riposte. Value of 100 means no extra damage.
Spell Buff:	Damage multiplier applied to the base value of a Spell. This value scales depending on the primary stat of the Catalyst, i.e. a Catalyst with Intelligence scaling will have its Spell Buff rise as the player's Intelligence rises. By default the value reflected in the infobox and the upgrades uses 60 Intelligence and/or Faith.
Stats Needed:	The Stats Needed determines how high various Stats must be in order to wield the weapon effectively. The stats required for a weapon are A / B / C / D: A is the Strength required B is the Dexterity required C is the Intelligence required D is the Faith required Wielding a weapon without the required Strength and/or Dexterity will incur a penalty to the Physical damage of the weapon, while lower-than-required Intelligence and/or Faith will reduce the Magic/Fire/Lightning/Dark damage and Spell Buff.
Stat Bonuses:	The Stat Bonuses rating indicates the level of bonus damage you do with the weapon, based on the associated Stat. This rating can be S, A, B, C, D, or E (in order from most to least bonus for the associated skill). See Scaling for more information. The Bonus Stats for a weapon are A/B/C/D: A is the Strength stat bonus that influences the Physical attack of the weapon. B is the Dexterity stat bonus that influences the Physical attack of the weapon. C is the Intelligence stat bonus that influences the Magic/Fire/Dark attack of the weapon and Spell Buff. D is the Faith stat bonus that influences the Lightning/Fire/Dark attack of the weapon and Spell Buff.
Damage Reduction:	The Damage Reduction % of the weapon. It dictates how much damage the weapon mitigates while blocking. The Damage Reduction % stats for weapons are A / B / C / D / E : A is Physical Damage B is Magic Damage C is Fire Damage D is Lightning Damage E is Dark Damage
Stability:	Determines the amount of stamina expended to block an incoming attack. A higher stability also allows you to block stronger attacks without breaking guard and reduces the amount of stamina depleted from blocking attacks.
Durability:	The durability of the weapon.
Weight:	The weight of the weapon. Note that carrying over 70% of your Equip Load will reduce the speed of your rolls, while going over 100% will reduce your regular speed to walking and attempts to roll or backstep will leave you momentarily stunned.
