but I am uncertain what to use them for. See, I had a dream in which I had every sword in the game and all swords. Two of these swords are the Triglav and Sudaruska. Additionally, I want Grintovec for Tier 2 LD. For these three swords, I have three Troikas with UVs.
1: Undead medium+CTR low
2: Undead VH
3: ASI low

I simply do not know how I shall pair them. I realise the ASI is quite important in LD and that one might serve well as Grintovec. I do not know about the other two though. A true dilemma! Please give me advice!

/whisper You could always give me one of them.

1st for FSC, sell the 2nd one, use the 3rd for LD; I say.

@MoK

I think you're not quite understanding.
I want Suda, Grintovec, and Triglav. Means I want to use all three. The ASI one will probably used for LD and thus for the Grintovec but I'm finding it a total dilemma to choose what to use the other two for. I've no reason to use any of them for a specific sword but both are good UVs.

Edit: I couldn't care less about FSC when it comes to these swords, I always bring a variety of weapons as I go Chaos+BKC, which means that the undead bonus will be close to worthless.

Make the first Triglav because CTR.

Why not the Sudaruska? Not seeing any proper argument.

Because you'd rather completely halt the enemies with strong freeze rather than just buggily slow them down with medium stun?

@Juances

Maybe so, but the Troika charges have huge knockback. It feels kind of silly to nullify that knockback, in my opinion.

@Krakob

It's either getting CTR on your Triglav or learning to be very, very skilled with Triglav's combo. Sudaruska's combo is less suicidal and as such the straight up damage buff helps it more than Triglav.

@Zeddy

That does make sense, yes. I don't see getting skilled as a problem. It'd just be more fun. What do you think about charge freeze nullifying the knockback in comparison to Suda? I guess it does mean you can get more damage inflicted but it also means you might be losing out on precious crowd control.

Keep in mind that there is a relatively low payout for "getting skilled with" triglav's normal combo, and even so that that payoff- freezing a single enemy- still requires you to charge attack them afterward. If anything, the CTR will let you hit it afterward faster... this is still better than anything else. Also keep in mind that if you do freeze them on a charge, you can then charge again. Sudaruska's charge isn't as nice.

@Krakob

You're just switching one crowd control for another, arguably better crowd control.

Ah well, I suppose you all are right. Your arguments are as solid as the Chinese economy, I'll follow your advice.

@Father Frost

With that technique, I'm just using the first swing over and over again. Why would I want two Triglavs for that when a Triglav and a Suda would work just the same?

Suda does not freeze thus it

Suda does not freeze thus it is not as "cool." :D

@Father-Frost

Triglav's first hit doesn't freeze either way.

Ok, you use one triglav to hit them with the ASI, then when you charge you switch to the other.

RE: Zeddy

I know it doesn't do freeze but it does have a snowfall aura :D BTW triglav is my most used(abused) sword.
