Because each weapon scales based off of a certain stat (like strength or dexterity), where you have spent your stat points will be a big decider on what weapons will be the most effective for you.Īlso, a quick note: before you invest your stat points by leveling up, its a good idea to have a plan for your character, rather than spreading your levels around every stat. I’ve tested every single weapon available in the game, and I’ve played through the game multiple times, with a number of different types of character builds. With the vast selection of weapons in Dark Souls, it can be a little daunting to figure out where you should invest your titanite and soul stockpile.
