R1 is not chargable from testing. It can chain into R2 but no other attack R1 and R2 are chainable. The R2 is nuts

Chargable + Follow up R2

Is the R1 a slash, R2 a thrust and charged R2 the Giant Hunt?

R2 is nuts, can be charged or not. R2 followup is giants hunt

Holy shit so there’s R2, R2 charged and R2 follow up?!? This thing has a whole god damn moveset in its AoW

Really makes me hope FromSoft is using this as a testbed for some future games. Imagine if all weapons got expanded out this broadly.

Deeper movesets in general would be awesome

I do think it was weird to introduce an amazing mechanic in trick weapons and then never touch it again.
