The Dismounter is a Curved Greatsword in Elden Ring. It can be picked up early, in Limgrave, within the first few hours of a run.

The Dismounter is the curved greatsword of the brawny Kaiden sellswords, combining the blade of a scimitar with the heft of a hatchet. It drops from Kaiden Sellswords around Limgrave, including the camp near Agheel Lake North and the pair west of the Warmaster's Shack. It demands both Strength and Dexterity but serves as a versatile weapon even on horseback. Its jumping light attack sweeps wide in front, which can catch rolling opponents. It suits a Strength and Dexterity build that wants a flexible curved greatsword it can tune with Ashes of War.

Skill

Spinning Slash costs 6 / 12 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

Play it as a quality weapon, using jump attacks and wide sweeps, and add a damage type through infusion.

Stats	Strength 55, Dexterity 55, Vigor 40 to 60, Endurance 24, Mind 10
Affinity	Quality for its even Strength and Dexterity scaling, or Blood to add blood loss buildup.
Ash of War	Flaming Strike for a fire area attack, or Blood infusion with the default Spinning Slash for bleed.
Talismans	Lord of Blood's Exultation, Claw Talisman, Dragoncrest Greatshield Talisman

Notes

"This curved greatsword wielded by the brawny sellswords of Kaiden combines the blades of a scimitar with the heft of a hatchet. A difficult to handle weapon that demands much of the wielder's strength and dexterity, but with practice and ability, it can serve as a versatile weapon even on horseback."
