8 - Black Knife

Black Knife isn't the best up-and-close weapon as it's outclassed by many daggers especially when factoring in bleed builds. However, the Ash of Elden Ring Runes War Blade of Death does pure holy damage with percentage damage and scales directly with your faith stat.

This is a direct upgrade over the blade of calling due to the percentage damage and how powerful it can be against larger targets, and they generally lose more HP from percentage damage. This is a great faith sidearm needing minimal dexterity investment if you're primarily using the Ash of War - Blade of Death that scales directly with your faith level. Try this one out if you're looking for a good sidearm as a faith build for sure as it's lightweight and worth having as basic basically a pocket missile.
