Rapier is a Weapon in Dark Souls 3.
A lightweight thrusting sword used in noble duels employing refined techniques.
The primary attack of a thrusting sword is a series of stabs that render foes vulnerable for a devastating final thrust. Can also attack with shield up.
Skill: Stance
From stance, use normal attack to back step and execute a surprise attack, or strong attack for consecutive thrusting.
Notes and Tips:
- Can be Infused and Buffed.
- Reinforced with Titanite.
- Can parry when used as an offhand weapon, the only thrusting sword capable of this.
- One of the few non-dagger weapons which the Sorcerer class can wield without any Str and Dex leveling.
- Has 130 critical damage, the highest out of all the Thrusting Swords.
- The lightest of all the Thrusting Swords and is by far the shortest one.
- A good build involving this is the rapier in the off hand and a heavy weapon in the right, as to stun with the rapier then hit with your main weapon.
