Milady stats and description

Milady is a phenomenal weapon. It belongs to theLight Greatsword class, which is anew class of weaponthat combines the range of a greatsword with the lightness and speed of a regular sword. Milady features a very nice, easy to use set of attack animations and combos, and the speed with which you can chain strikes together is almost unheard-of for a blade of this size, making it excellent forbleed buildsand other status-inflictingbuilds.

It’s also a great choice for tighter spaces thanks to its combinations of pierce and slash attacks, which means despite its reach, you don’t end up clipping walls very often at all. All in all, this is an ideal weapon for Quality builds, and when combined with the newWing StanceAsh Of War, Milady is a contender for the best weapon in Elden Ring.
