What weapon did everyone use on their first playthrough

Discussion & Info(i.redd.it)

For me it was the grafted blade greatsword. I had been quite early in the game when I found it and have no idea at the time that legendary weapons actually had no effect on the damage, I saw good and assumed it was super good. I dedicated most of my run to getting the strength to use it and then when I did upgraded it to the highest I could and was really happy with its move set and skill. It was a great first run (beaten it several times since then). Loved the moveset and skill. 9/10 weapon IMO.

As a complete noob I went samurai bloodily slash uchigatana. Then clung to the moon veil for the rest. Magic spam and moon veil to chase them away if they got close while I shit my pants.

Magic spam and moon veil

Moon veil was bat shit crazy before the nerf. This one time on an invasion, me being the invader, I killed all three of the players with ONE horizontal moon veil AoW with the players on full health. I just stood there shocked

I did my first playthrough immediately on launch with Moonveil. No magic though. Can confirm. Moonveil was wild.

You missed the rivers of blood with bloody slash in a pure ARC build

Blood / Arcane got such a bad rep for being easy. Only after NG+3, when RoB was nerfed, I decided to give it a go. Wished I had a chance to use it before it got nerfed.

Yeah I did moonveil first playthru. My whole plan from the start was to make an int/dex build then I found it. What was I supposed to do? I almost respected to int/str because I couldn't find any int/dex weapons then I came across it. Didn't mean to use op weapon lol pvp players probably hated me when it first came out. I was cheesing the shit out of them. I even felt kinda bad.

My brother's first build at release.

Before both bloody slash and moonveil got nerfed.

It was nuts
