The Cleanrot Knight's Sword is a Thrusting Sword in Elden Ring.
When to Use It
Mid game. It is found around Altus Plateau, which opens up past Stormveil Castle, so it arrives once a build has taken shape.
Why Players Pick It
Highest max-standard physical in the class at 267, and the only one that reaches C Strength there, the quality/shield pick. 109 physical at +0 on an 11 Str / 13 Dex requirement, at a 4% drop from Cleanrot Knights.
Upgrades
Ordinary Smithing Stones carry it all the way to +25, and because it is not a Somber weapon it will also hold a grease or a weapon buff, which is a damage source the unique blades simply do not have.
Build
Its scaling runs Str at D and Dex at D, so Str and Dex are the stats worth levelling, and you need Str 11 and Dex 13 before you can lift it. Any Ash of War and any affinity will sit on it, so its scaling can be re-cut towards whichever stat you are already levelling.
Notes
Piercing sword of the Cleanrot Knights who fought alongside Malenia, Blade of Miquella. Mainly used as a backup weapon, in combination with a long-handled armament.
