Eochaid’s Dancing Blade’s damage is based on total Attack Rating, so using things that boost your AR will increase its damage significantly.

Winged Sword Insignia,Rotten Winged Sword Insignia, andMillicent’s Prosthesisall boost the damage of this Skill since each strike of the corkscrew is considered an attack.

Regalia of Eochaidhas the same Skill, but that Weapon does less damage since it has lower Attack Rating. It also scales with Dexterity, instead of Strength, but has worse scaling in general even though it has C in Arcane Scaling.

It’s the shortest greatsword, and it has almost nothing but vertical chops for the moveset when 2 handed.

Eochaid’s Dancing Blade does predominantly Physical Damage, with some Magic Damage, but not a lot.

Although this weapon’s skill does considerable damage, it is often risky to use it against larger enemies such as bosses, due to their resistance to stuns and knockdowns. Against lighter enemies and NPC-type enemies, the skill can effectively stunlock them, dealing the full damage and knocking them down with the final hit of the spin (not the swing performed after the spin). Some larger enemies such asBanished Knightswill not be stunned by the the skill, but if hit by the final hit of the spin will still be knocked down, so using the skill early before they enter melee range can help to achieve this.
