The Estoc is a Thrusting Sword in Elden Ring. It can be picked up early in a run.

The Estoc is a large piercing sword with a long, hard-edged blade that can slash as well as thrust, and despite its size it can be wielded nimbly enough to leave little room for a counter. It is starting equipment for the Prisoner and is sold for 3,000 runes by the Nomadic Merchant in southern Liurnia of the Lakes and by Patches. Its heavy attack is a quick slash shared only with the Noble's Estoc, while its other attacks are fast thrusts at good reach. It scales mainly on Dexterity, and Impaling Thrust lunges forward to pierce through an enemy's defenses. It suits a Dexterity character, and it pairs well with a staff for a melee mage.

Stats

The Estoc is a dependable thrusting sword with 107 physical at base and 262 at max upgrade, plus a 24 guard boost, the best in the class. Its strength is availability: the Prisoner starts with it, a merchant sells it, and Patches stocks it later in his quest, so it is easy to get and easy to replace.

Skill

Impaling Thrust costs 9 FP. The wielder gathers power, then lunges forward into a strong piercing thrust that punches through an enemy's guard. Most of the damage gets past a raised shield, which makes it a reliable answer to turtling enemies and players. The thrust can be parried. It is the weapon's default Ash of War, so another can take its place.

"Skill that lets piercing armaments overcome enemy shields. Build power, then lunge forward for a strong thrust that pierces an enemy's guard."
