Lordsworn's Straight Sword is a Straight Sword in Elden Ring. It is available within the first few hours of a run.

The Lordsworn's Straight Sword is a well-crafted straight sword of illustrious design, carried by the regulars of a lord's army and kept serviceable though blackened by years of use. It drops from soldiers of every faction that carry it, and the Godrick Soldiers at Gatefront Ruins in Limgrave make it available from the very start. It attacks fast with the standard straight sword moveset and has slightly longer reach than the Longsword. Its critical rating of 110 makes ripostes and backstabs hit harder than with most straight swords, even though its raw damage falls a little behind the Longsword and Broadsword. It suits a Dexterity or quality character who likes critical hits, and a second copy is easy to farm for dual wielding.

Stats

Lordsworn's Straight Sword carries a 110 critical rating, unusual for a straight sword, with 115 physical at base and 281 at max upgrade on very low requirements. Soldiers of every faction drop it, so it is realistically available from the first hour, and its full Ash of War access lets it grow with any build from the opening area to the endgame.

How to Get Lordsworn's Straight Sword Guide

Soldier enemies of every faction that wield this weapon have 2% drop rate for it.
This includes Godrick Soldiers, Raya Lucaria Soldiers, Radahn Soldiers, Leyndell Soldiers, Mausoleum Soldiers, and Haligtree Soldiers.
Can be farmed from the very beginning of the game, at Gatefront Ruins, where some Godrick Soldiers wield this sword.
A more reliable spot can be found at Fourth Church of Marika, where two sword-wielding Mausoleum Soldiers can be found just outside the entrance.

Skill

Square Off costs 6 / 8 FP. The wielder holds the sword level in a ready stance, which costs nothing to hold but slows stamina recovery. A normal attack steps in with an upward slash that breaks through an enemy's guard, while a strong attack performs a running thrust. Holding the stance for a moment first lets Rellana's Cameo boost the follow-ups, and both can be parried. It is the weapon's default Ash of War, so another can take its place.

"This skill starts with the sword held level. Follow up with a normal attack to slash upwards through enemy's guard, or a strong attack to perform a running thrust."

Critical Damage

Its critical rating is 110, above the 100 most of its class carries, so backstabs and ripostes land noticeably harder. Nothing else in its class has a higher one.

Notes

"Well-crafted straight sword with an illustrious design, wielded by regulars of a lord's army. Though blackened and damaged by years of use, it appears to have otherwise been kept in a serviceable condition, despite the soldiers having long since lost their minds."
