Reverse-Bladed Sword

The Reverse-Bladed Sword is a backhand blade added with the Elden Ring Tarnished Edition. It is held in a reversed grip and fights with quick, dancing strikes, and at only 3.0 weight it is one of the lightest weapons around.

Its skill is Blind Spot. Because it is sold at the Roundtable Hold, it is also the easiest way to try the backhand blade weapon type without the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion.
