But you should be warned, it won’t do much against experienced veteran gamers due to its predictability. It’s great for use in the first half of the game without any upgrades and it’s one of the better weapons for PvP too considering the fact Frostbite ends up being a great advantage. It has really good damage which is a given when it comes to using a hammer, and it causes elemental damage too since it’s an ice-related weapon. You might not expect much of the Vordt’s Hammer considering the fact it’s acquired after beating one of the earliest bosses in the game – but there’s more here than meets the eye. While there’s better weapons to be found out there with similar qualities, the best thing about the Great Club is the fact that you can even acquire it rather early on in Dark Souls 3. It has a total of 281 physical damage that can be buffed immensely, later on, making it one of the strongest weapons in the game. It does not require dexterity to be used and just needs 28 strength points. You might have expected to see something fancier here, but the Great Club is a weapon overlooked by players who like form over function. It’s one of the weapons that are great for both PvE and PvP gameplay modes due to how it allows you to be agile and damaging at the same time, which gives you an immediate advantage over people with weapons that focus on only one of these things at a time.
The Exile Greatsword has a physical attack of 273 and can be expanded with the right updates and items.
However, the curved ones are even better as they’re a bit more agile too alongside providing great damage potential. Greatswords are always a good choice for builds that include an emphasis on strength. The only catch is that this weapon is a part of a DLC and is purchased by the Stone-humped Hag – so you can’t get it early on. Not only is it a very good weapon that does 546 damage at 60 strength and can be expanded even further with the right magic items – it’s great for crowd control too as one of its attacks allow you to swing it over your head that controls a bit of an area-of-impact. It has very high damage and provides both speed and long range at once, which is a great advantage for the player. It’s not easy to take the number one spot on a list that is specifically about strength due to how many powerful weapons exist in the game – but there’s a good reason why this weapon is up here.
