About this converter
Bloodborne lists base physical attack for every trick weapon at plus zero, before stats scale it. Blade of Mercy opens at 60, Reiterpallasch at 75, Threaded Cane at 78, Tonitrus and Burial Blade at 80, Saw Spear, Rifle Spear and Stake Driver at 85, Saw Cleaver and Holy Moonlight Sword at 90, Chikage at 92, Hunter Axe at 98, Ludwig Holy Blade at 100 and Kirkhammer at 105. That makes one Kirkhammer a little over one Saw Cleaver of base attack. Split damage rides on top for arcane and blood weapons, which the notes call out. Every value here is the plus zero figure from Fextralife and IGN tables.
How to use it
Pick two weapons and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. One box holds a count of the first, one holds the matching count of the second, one holds the total in attack. Try 1 Kirkhammer against Saw Cleavers.
Fortification to plus 10 multiplies these bases, so this table pins plus zero to keep rows comparable. Scaling grades add on top by stats and stay out. Blood mode on Chikage and bolt buff on Tonitrus change live damage but never change the base rows.
FAQ
What hits hardest here?
Kirkhammer at 105 base. Ludwig follows at 100.
What is Saw Cleaver base attack?
90 physical at plus zero, before Str and Skill scaling.
Why base only?
Upgrades and gems vary per build, so rows pin plus zero.
Does arcane count?
No. Arcane, blood and bolt splits ride on top and stay out of base physical math.
