Let us begin examining the unique curve swords and regular curve swords.

Unique Curve Swords

• Magma Blade – upgraded spinning slash.

• Wing of Astel – magic wand.

• Nox Flowing Sword/Eclipse Shotel – crap unless you really want the weapon art.

Regular Curve Swords

• Beastman's Curved Sword – high AR with str build unique jump attacks..

• Serpent - God's Curved Sword

Held: every kill =2.5%HP+25HP, works still even if you 2-hand a weapon with this equipped in the other hand. (doesn’t need to land the kill, effect doesn’t double when holding 2x)

• Bandit's Curved Sword – your go to: Keen/Lightning Cold/Blood.

• Shamshir & Scimitar

1. Have a slightly longer step in. (very slightly - you can try standing still and swinging these on tiles to measure them)

2. About the unique R1 chain of Scimitar and Shamshir: They get more range, they even come with a built-in frame trap. If you’re close to your opponent and they roll your first swing, the second swing is so long that it can roll catch them before they finish that first roll animation. That alone makes the Scimmy/Shammy extremely deadly because, at certain ranges, you can do nearly guaranteed damage even if your opponent rolls.

• Scavenger's Curved Sword – Poison/Cold or Occuult.

• Mantis Blade – unique heavy attacks. 

Mantis Curved Sword really needed to be an innately dual-wielded weapon like the Ornamental Straight Swords and fist weapons. Being able to buff both weapons with a right-hand infusion would give it the DPS necessary to compete with other weapons in the category, and a power stance barrage heavy attack similar to the one done by the Cemetery Shades that drop the weapon would have made it feel more like we are appropriating their weapons/fighting style.

• Flowing Curved Sword – a great emote. (use status infusions)
