10. Great Knife
The Great Knife is an excellent lightweight weapon choice. You can get it as starting equipment for the Bandit class or as a rare drop from Demi-Humans wielding this weapon. It scales primarily with Strength and Dexterity and causes blood loss buildup, which is quite helpful. One of the best things about it is you can use any Ash of War on it. Get two Great Knives, and you'll have a great time in Elden Ring because you can have different status effects on them!

9. Godskin Peeler
The Godskin Peeler offers some great scaling in Dexterity. It's exceptionally good for Bleed builds. If you're looking for some insane physical damage and bleed buildup on an Arcane build, you can infuse this weapon with Seppuku and convert it to an Occult weapon.
8. Bandit's Curved Sword
This weapon is an amazing choice for high Dexterity characters who can excel at slashing attacks while spinning. You can get the Bandit's Curved Sword as a drop from the Skeletal Bandits in Limgrave and Altus Plateau. It's great for elemental infusions thanks to its high base damage, low weight, and low stat requirements. This makes it the perfect backup weapon for any cast-heavy build. The Bandit's Curved Sword shines the brightest in Jump Attack Builds.

7. Ornamental Straight Sword
The Ornamental Straight Sword, combined with the skill Golden Tempering, gives you a dual-wielding combo with a strong attack that is a menace! You can pick this weapon up as a drop from the Grafted Scion at the Chapel of Anticipation. The dual-wield gives you access to a complete set of dual weapon attacks.
6. Guardian's Swordspear
It has a unique move set when compared to other halberds. Regular light attacks perform upward slashes, finished by a horizontal slice. Meanwhile, heavy attacks are the same as the default halberd move set. Equip Sword Dance, and you'll destroy everything and everyone in your way. Dual-wielding the Guardian's Swordspear is an absolute game changer.

5. Butchering Knife
This axe allows you to increase your attack power and execute strong combo attacks. It's dropped by Anastasia, Tarnished-Eater. The Butchering Knife can be upgraded by using Smithing Stones. You can replace the Barbaric Roar with any Ash of War you want. The best thing about this weapon is that it will restore 1% HP on hit, which is OP.
4. Bloodhound's Fang
Insane damage and scaling meet in Bloodhound's Fang. Players can perform melee attacks and immediately take distance from the enemy. This weapon is dropped by the Bloodhound Knight Darriwil, in Limgrave. This Curved Greatsword can be enchanted with magic, and it's an overall great choice for your next Elden Ring playthrough.

3. Bolt of Gransax
The amazing Lightning and physical damage make up for the low Dexterity scaling. This weapon is actually one of the nine Legendary Armaments found in Elden Ring. The best thing about it is that it gives you a long-range attack thanks to its lightning bolt, allowing you to take down enemies from afar.
2. Dragon King's Cragblade
The Dragon King's Cragblade is OP, especially in battles against dragon-like creatures or enemies that are susceptible to Lightning damage. AoE and an insane amount of lightning damage - what more can you ask for?
