Curved Swords are a Weapon type in Dark Souls 3. Curved Swords are a generally a Dexterity-based weapon class with fast swing speeds, decent damage and range, and a excellent roll-catching abilities. These traits allow a player to quickly and easily finish a fight, especially since most Curved Swords can be buffed with spells or Pine Resins. However, there are some negatives to Curved Swords. Players with high Poise and heavier weapons like Greatswords, Ultra Greatswords, and Great Hammers will be able to tank and out-trade hits from a Curved Sword if the user is just swinging mindlessly. Additionally, if players can easily be parried if they swing without caution. The positives of this weapon class seem to outweigh the negatives, and Curved Swords attract new players and experts alike, and are popular choices in PvE and PvP.
With the exception of the Falchion, Carthus Curved Sword, Storm Curved Sword, Crescent Moon Sword, and Follower Sabre, Dancer's Enchanted Swords, all Curved Swords have a backflip swinging attack that replaces the kick.
