Keep it Strength. Man-Serpent greatsword is a Weapon in Dark Souls and Dark Souls Remastered. "This single-bladed blood-stained greatsword is the choice weapon of the slithering serpent men of Sen's Fortress." You can put a Golden Resin on it and add 180 lightning damage on top of the physical. Lightning is best if you have minimum requirements. i'm looking at the stats: claymore 15 is 257 base C str and C dex MS greatsword is 275 base A str I find more people talking about using the claymore and probably 1 or 2 using the man-serpent one. I do 275 (Arround that, Demon’s Souls Builds: Arcane Archer Guide (PvE Bow), Greedfall Will Come to PS5 and Xbox Series X with New Content, Project EVE Gets New Gameplay Trailer Plus Screenshots, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla Latest Update Fixes Levitating Dogs, Falling Crows and More, Demon’s Souls Builds: Blue Sentinel (PvE Co Op). So i've seen on the weapon stats and im not sure if i should Upgrade it to Lighting and give up the Scaling or Upgrade it normaly and keep the scaling...I have 36 right now in Strenght and it scales whit B...Any tips? Man serpent greatsword scales only with strength, adding dex yould have literally no effect, sif weapons are bad, since they need 20 on every damage stat (that is, STR, DEX, INT, FAI) however, sif soul can be used to get artorias' greatshield which is the most op shield in the game, making a playthrough a breeze. Normal's better. You can put a Golden Resin on it and add 180 lightning damage on top of the physical. in the long run, does the claymore outdmg the man-serpents @ higher lvls or is it just easier to get?
