The Dragon King's Cragblade is a Heavy Thrusting Sword in Elden Ring.

When to Use It

Late game. It is behind a late region or a boss remembrance, so it is an end-of-run weapon rather than something to build towards.

Why Players Pick It

Lowest physical in the class at 92 but carries 59 lightning at +0 and deals increased damage to Dragons and Ancient Dragons. 225 physical / 144 lightning with B Dexterity at max standard: only worth the 37 Dex gate if you are dragon-hunting or already deep into Dex.

Upgrades

It takes Somber Smithing Stones rather than the common kind, one per level up to +10, and it keeps its own skill for good: no Ash of War will replace it and no affinity will re-cut its scaling.

Skill

Thundercloud Form costs 28 FP. Temporarily transform into a red thundercloud and fly through the air, then plunge down with a lightning-infused blade. Hold to increase the reach of the thundercloud form. It belongs to this weapon alone: no Ash of War will move it onto anything else, and nothing will replace it here.

Build

Its scaling runs Str at E and Dex at D, so Dex is the stat worth levelling, and you need Str 18 and Dex 37 before you can lift it. Because the skill is its own, the build has to come to the weapon rather than the other way round. It also deals increased damage to Dragons and Ancient Dragons on its own, with no infusion needed.

Notes

Piercing Gravel Stone sword containing primeval lightning. A portion of the Dragonlord's power, gained from a remembrance. This weapon commands great power over the paltry, mortal dragons of today.
