Silver knight strait sword in the arena

Hi, I am preparing a faith/dex build for the sl 199 bracket of the arena for when the dlc hits consoles. I am using a spear as a main weapon. I need a back up, and want to stay as close to my Ornstein characters roots as possible. The obvious choice would be a +15 uchi or +5 occult uchi, but Ornstein wouldn't be caught dead dead with a katana This is specifically for the free for all mode. So, is the SKSS a good choice? Ornstein was a knight of Gwyn after all.

Wait... Can you HAVE a back up weapon in the arena?

SKSS is a great weapon. Good damage output and buffable if you wish it.Solid choice an doesn't compromise your lore.

That's great news.
