About this converter
Dark Souls lists base physical attack for every Regular weapon at plus zero, before stats scale it. Parrying Dagger opens at 54, Dagger and Bandit Knife at 56, Spear, Longsword and Partizan at 80, Broadsword and Darksword at 82, Pike and Winged Spear at 86, Uchigatana at 90, Battle Axe at 95, Claymore at 103, Halberd at 110 and Zweihander at 130. That makes one Zweihander equal over two Daggers of base attack. Every value here is the unupgraded Regular figure from Fextralife and the Dark Souls Wiki game 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 Zweihander against Daggers.
Upgrades multiply these bases, for example Longsword 80 to 200 at plus 15 Regular, so this table pins plus zero to keep rows comparable. Scaling grades add on top by stats and stay out. Elemental paths split damage and stay out of this physical list.
FAQ
What hits hardest here?
Zweihander at 130 base. Halberd follows at 110.
What is Longsword base attack?
80 physical at Regular plus zero, before Str and Dex scaling.
Why base only?
Upgrades and stats vary per build, so rows pin plus zero Regular.
Does bleed count?
No. Aux bleed rides on top and stays out of base physical math.
