At the same time, even with less damage and no buff applied, Storm Ruler ALSO kills in 6 swings, as it hits 252 per swing, again with tears active. This means that Claymore with Human Pine Resin kills in 6 swings on them while dealing 281 per hit, assuming tears are active. For example, if we have a player fully decked out in Lapp's, while having all the necessary stats to be as meta as possible (ability to hold murky, pkcs, two attunement for tears, 1285 hp) this gives them around 160 standard physical defense, not counting the other varieties, along with 32 absorption due to Prisoner's Chain. In favor of the Claymore, you can also use buffs, but even with a buff the damage difference isn't as good as one might expect. This difference in damage isn't anything crazy, and gives a little bit of reason to use this weapon. Comparing the two-handed AR to a Refined Claymore, it hits 501 while the Claymore hits 524. I honestly don't think this sword is as bad as people say.

Looted from corpse near the rear end of Yhorm the Giant's boss room, near his throne.Storm Ruler has a range of 33.3715xl on the 1h R1 and 36.1777xl on the 2h R1.Appears the design is inspired by the "Kusanagi" sword, one of the Three Imperial Regalia of Japan.The Storm Ruler is a callback to the weapon of the same name in Demon's Souls.Cannot be sold or discarded, extra copies can be stored in the bonfire stash.Contrary to its description, neither its WA nor regular attacks do extra damage to regular giants, with the exception of Yhorm himself.It doesn't have any stat requirement to be used, meaning that a mage without any strength and dexterity investment can still use it.Recommended to use Wood Grain Ring to increase its durability. Has 10 durability and is very easy to break.If not, the player will have to remain in the WA stance until the buff takes effect. To fire the storm as a projectile, assume the WA stance and press RT/R2 immediately if the weapon is already buffed.This is quite unkown, and such usually catches players off guard. Before the blade has been imbued with the storm, while the sword is held in the stance, pressing either r1 or r2 will execute the normal stance weapon arts(lunge and the guardbreak spin respectively), and doing so will consume fp (the storm projectile does not).Consequently, a player can buff their weapon and do normal light/heavy attacks with the storm imbued blade. The weapon will remain buffed until the storm is projected as described below.Maintaining the LT/L2 WA stance long enough will engulf the sword in a storm, buffing it.Cannot be Infused, but can be Buffed with Weapon Art (WA).Yhorm the Giant once held two of these, but gave one to the humans that doubted him, and left the other to a dear friend before facing his fate as a Lord of Cinder.Īssume stance to imbue sword with storm.
