The Flamberge, a staple of the Souls games is as reliable as it ever was in other games to serve as a perfect option to power stance greatswords, or to do great damage wielding it alone two-handed.

Katar

Meteoric Ore Blade

Aah … the Moonveil. The preferred choice for a lot of players – it scales with Intelligence allowing you to use the vast array of spells, and it has one of the most devastating Weapon Arts across any weapon in the game – it shoots of a wave of light that can destroy mobs and even bosses in a few hits.
