In Elden Ring, Swords make up the vast majority of melee weapon types – there are Straight Swords, Greatswords, Katanas, Curved Swords, Thrusting Swords, Katanas, Colossal Swords, and many, many more. Swords are generally useful for all builds with decent reach and attack speed, and most tend to scale well with both Strength and Dex, though this isn't always the case.
