📋 About This Mod
Turns Leda's Sword (Shadow of the Erdtree DLC weapon) into an int/faith weapon and optionally makes it a spell catalyst weapon (incantations only or incantations and sorceries).
I'm a fan of the new Light Greatsword weapon class, at least conceptually, but From Software in their infinite wisdom added 8 new weapon classes to the game in the DLC while making 2-3 weapons for each of the new classes. That is... insanely disappointing move to say the least. I also love the int/faith concept and this is basically the build I play the most (pvp included). Fromsoft added Light Greatsword class with only 3 weapons while making only one of them - Milady - infusable. I absolutely don't like what Milady looks like, the longsword without a cross guard is a crime and I refuse to use it. And I think Fromsoft made a mistake not naming this weapon class "Longsword", but I digress.
I was quickly disappointed with Milady because of the reasons above, Rellana's Twin Blades didn't satisfy me either. The only other option was Leda's Sword. Despite all the aesthetics around it hinting at it being a faith weapon (which I'd be fine with), the weapon is actually dex/faith with quite a lot of dex leaning making its severely suboptimal for faith or int/faith builds since you lose way too many stats on high dex requirements and get low damage with the faith scaling. What a shame, it's such a beautiful sword.
While I can't use any of this on vanilla game online I still decided to fix the above situation, after all I can play on Seamless Coop mod with this. I changed Leda's Sword requirements and scaling making it an actual int/faith weapon. Now the sword requires way more int/faith while lowering str/dex requirements. The int/faith requirements are quite high, but someone who specs into the build is going to have these stats even higher. The scaling was changed in such a way that both int and faith scale holy damage, base holy damage is low, but scales very well. Str and dex scale physical damage, but the scaling for it is low with most physical damage coming from the base damage. I tried to balance stats for RL125 builds.

Changes Leda's Sword to have int/faith scaling:
[]Requirements: 12 str and dex, 25 int and faith.[/]
[]Scaling: D for str and dex, A for int and faith at +10.[/]
[]Still a somber weapon with the max reinforcement level of +10.[/]
[]An option to swap ash of war (removing the ash restores Needle Piercer). Swapping ashes doesn't change the weapon scaling and/or damage, only the slotted ash changes.[/]
[]Can't be buffed with greases or spells.[/]
[]An optional download allowing to use the weapon as a catalyst for incantations or both incantations and sorceries with the R2 input (heavy attack) same as for Carian Sorcery Sword. I wish I could make the weapon cast with ash of war input, but I can't figure out how to make that happen yet.[/]
[*]Spell scaling is close to Golden Ord
