In addition to attacking, a weapon can either block or parry when equipped in the left hand but not both at the same time for example, scimitars can only parry or attack, but not block. If a sword is placed in the left hand, for example, and used to block, only its damage resistance and stability will affect its blocking effectiveness. Whichever weapon is in the right hand is used to attack, while the weapon in the left hand is usually utilized to block or parry, although in some cases it can also be used to attack.ĭespite this conglomeration, traditional weapons such as swords invariably have high attack power and low defensive power, while shields are invariably the other way around. Weapons include any objects wielded in the right or left hand and utilized in combat, including shields.
Weapons are a vital type of equipment in Dark Souls. For other uses, see Weapons (disambiguation).
