The Black Steel Twinblade is a Twinblade in Elden Ring. It belongs to Shadow of the Erdtree and waits in Scadu Altus.

The Black Steel Twinblade is the weapon of the Black Knights, servants of Messmer the Impaler, a black steel twinblade with gold embellishments blessed with an Erdtree incantation. It is a guaranteed drop from the Black Knight at the top of the western hill camp northeast of the Church of the Crusade in Scadu Altus. It deals physical and holy damage and keeps its Faith scaling even when its affinity changes, and further holy imbuement amplifies its power. It has the same strong attack as the Godskin Peeler alongside the long spinning combos of its class. It suits a Faith character or a Strength, Dexterity and Faith hybrid who wants holy damage on a twinblade.

Skill

Spinning Slash costs 6 FP. The wielder spins the whole body to slash foes in a wide circle, and an additional input adds two more spins. Small weapons spin quickly, while greatswords, spears, halberds and other large weapons use a slower, sweeping version. The skill cannot be parried. It is the weapon's default Ash of War, so another can take its place.

"Skill favored by dexterous warriors. Slash foes as your body spins. Additional input allows for a follow-up attack."

Suggested Build

Played two-handed with fast spinning combos, infused Sacred so that holy damage stacks on top of its built-in holy blessing, with a holy Ash of War to break poise or strike from range.

Stats	Faith to 60, then 80, Vigor 50, Mind 30, Endurance 30, Strength 18 and Dexterity 15
Affinity	Sacred, since its blessing grows stronger with each holy infusion and it keeps Faith scaling.
Ash of War	Aspects of the Crucible: Wings, which has a unique twinblade animation that shreds poise and comes Sacred by default, or Sacred Blade for holy damage and a ranged attack.
Talismans	Twinblade Talisman, Sacred Scorpion Charm, Faithful's Canvas Talisman

Notes

"Weapon of the Black Knights, servants of Messmer the Impaler. Twinblade of black steel with decorative embellishments in gold. Blessed with an Erdtree incantation. Further holy imbuement will amplify the effect and greatly increase the armament's power."
