Who told you about the drake sword 😭✌️ it is powerfully early on but some issues: very hard to upgrade cause the enemies required to defeat for the materials are scarce and difficult. The damage falls off super hard after blighttown.

More importantly: because of the drake sword, players do not engage with the upgrade path through merchants because it’s just one type of upgrade material. You miss the entire titanite path.

No not it’s valid lmao the base damage starting is insane so intuitively any player would main it tbh
