Your knight holds Final Flourish in their hand, even in Haven. This acts as a shield, in spite of clearly being a sword.
Stats I would like to see are as follows:
No normal resistance.
Piercing resistance, equal to barb thorn shield's piercing resistance
Poison resistance, of shield resist value
Sword CTR med
Global asi low
Bomb ctr low
I can get behind it. Perhaps it could have a unique shield bash that's essentially the final hit from the final flourish's combo, but travels further and is slower overall. Can deal normal damage, but could also do piercing, dunno.
Rather than poison, why not freeze resist? We have zero pierce/freeze shields, and making this one pure piercing resist would make it a very specialized shield.
More unique/offensive shields are welcome. A parrying blade shield of any sort in general would be a welcome addition.
If this would be the case at all to be in a promo or maybe besides a future bomb patch or sword patch, perhaps a SHIELD patch. There should at least be a shield-sword line of all flourishes than just the Final Flourish, only because I like the Fearless Rigadoon a lot more.
So, is this like the Dark Soul's parrying dagger?
