Fist Weapons | Dark Souls Wiki

Fists are a Weapon Category in Dark Souls and Dark Souls Remastered. Fists have the shortest range among the weapons in the game, forcing players into very close range melee combat. The weapons are extremely fast and consume little stamina, allowing for long combos that can break enemies' guard or deplete their stamina. This strategy is useful in PvE but not in PvP as other players will be able to parry the predictable fast repeating combo. These weapons can be wielded in the left hand or the right hand, each with different effects. Left-handing them grants the ability to parry whilst wielding fists in the right hand will replace the regular kick animation with knee strikes.

• Pros: Very lightweight, deals fast rapid combo damage consuming little stamina, undeflectable damage can break poise. Useful in narrow spaces. Good scaling.
• Cons: Very short range, low attack power and limited selection.
• Recommendations: Have plenty of stamina and low equip load to improve your recovery. Good to couple with Gauntlets of Thorns to increase your damage output.
