We'll show you the Noble swordsman build, this is an all game build that focuses on the use of a single straight sword, and no other weapon or shield and is phenomenal for Guard breaking.
How to Make this Noble Swordsman Build Work
-Noble's Keen Slender Sword can take quite a long time to get.
-There are other options, the other option that we recommend you is the Lordsworn's Straight Sword, and the reason for that is both of these weapons have 110 critical rating which means that when you go in for a Critical Strike you're going to deal more damage than other straight swords that don't have as high a critical rating, the Lord sword and straight sword can be be farmed in Gate front ruins is probably the easiest place to do it, but any you know Soldier that's carrying this weapon can drop it, so you may need to farm there to get it, it's usually much faster than the noble slender sword though the upside of the noble slender sword is that it's longer, so you're going to have more reach with it which is fantastic, the damage between these two weapons is pretty similar, we think the Noble sword comes out like a couple points of damage ahead or not talking enough damage wise to really make it make the difference, but the length difference is substantial, so if you don't mind spending the time to farm this weapon it's definitely the better of the two.
-Square Off ash of war is absolutely phenomenal arguably one of the best in the game, that when you hold L2 you kind of go into a stance with your sword, and then you can either press R1 or R2, and you're going to get two different attack animations depending on that the R1 is kind of like a quick slash and the R2 is kind of like a charge forward.
