Blades of Mercy can carry you through the game. They are super, super good. I agree about the learning curve being steep though, which is why I don't quite rate them as a top tier weapon. Some people won't have as easy of a time mastering them, or even using them. And they do fall off in certain situations. They have low hit-stun which makes them less useful against certain medium and large enemies.

This reminds me of something, when I was asked earlier in the topic about a Skill/Arcane build. I forgot to mention the Burial Blade as another Skill+Arcane weapon. Although you technically can't get it until the end of the game, this isn't exactly true either. You can technically get any weapon you want from the chalice dungeons as long as you know where to look.

edit: also I swear me responding within 5 minutes to any post about Bloodborne is just a coincidence. I literally -just- woke up.

all the rest weren't so unfortunate
