Required Stats
Falx
The Falx comes equipped with a unique skill called Revenger’s Blade. When activated, you dash toward an enemy and slice them open with your twin blades. If you charge up the skill, the dash is extended. By spamming the Heavy Attack button, you’re able to chain this skill into a follow-up attack. This is an excellent ability and the main reason why the Falx is a great weapon to wield if you want a Dexterity-based weapon.

As the table above shows, Dexterity scaling will improve as you improve the weapon. Despite that, most Physical characters who have gotten this far in the game should be able to wield it. The Falx is built for Physical Slashing damage with a55 Bleed build-up passive effect.
Bleed builds correlate well with Dexterity, so if you want to focus on this useful effect, consider investing in other items likeLord of Blood’s Exultation. While the Falx’s quick, Dexterity-based attack style won’t work for everyone, it’s still a fun new weapon inElden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree.
