What is Better Claymore or Bastard Sword?

Choosing the perfect sword can be a challenging task, especially when we have two behemoths like the claymore and the bastard sword. Each has its own unique qualities, advantages, and usage. In this article, we will explore the attributes of both swords to help you decide which one is more suitable for you.

Direct Answer

Based on expert opinions, reviews, and game faqs, I can summarize the answer thus:

"Claymore beats Bastard sword in ranged combat and PvP, due to its significantly longer thrust range and bonus damage per second. It also matches the Bastard sword’s stagger damage when used properly. However, the claymore’s relatively lower swing speed and average weight prevent it from catching up fully in terms of overall prowess." (emphasis added)

Please note this answer is relative to general gameplay and players’ observations. The claymore takes the lead on paper by having a whopping 32 inches of attack range – significantly longer than the 22 inches offered by the Bastard Sword (!).

Similarities between both swords reside in their:

• Comparable base damage ranges (the Bastard’s slightly reduced)
• Close weight approximations
• **Potential for high AR (Alpha Rating) upon optimization using proper gear selection and optimal player skill

Using Claymore Advantages Properly

Considering the claymore’s pros:

• The longer sword range allows opponents to land critical hits as they fall back, causing them difficulty to recover against your incoming attacks.
  • The average weight and below-average sway can be overcome by steady hands and efficient swings using proper timing against enemies having less than standard defense attributes.

Exploiting Bastard’s Weakpoints

In combat, the lesser range:

• Forces both players’ to engage the enemy promptly, reducing range and leading to more competitive close-in combat.
  

  The Lower Swing Speed does not appear to be enough to account for the higher damage or damage per second of our Claymore variant, ensuring it remains among the weapons of choice!

Recommendations

Assuming you decide to start with the more versatile Claymore for enhanced range utility and damage delivery, apply these strategies

• Set up ambush sites near, or even against, buildings for a long-range takeout.
  Maintain speed by using fast movement/rolling techniques where feasible!

General Gameplay Tips For Both Instruments

Use your off-hand(s) to disorient then disengage: The time you spend focusing on deflecting attacks becomes a hindrance to positioning and exploiting the enemy – especially versus more aggressive counterparts.
