Well whatever floats your boat...
Anyways. The black knight sword has decent range, can stunlock a bit, but a whole lot of people can parry it if you spam R1. Because of that, It's not a bad idea to have an off-hand weapon to change up the timing of your attacks. The R2 attacks are super long and you should mostly avoid using them. If you're <25% make sure to take advantage of the good rolling attack.
Potential offhand weapons:
Combustion - Great combustion or black flame both work wonders. Switch between combustion an R1.
Spear - A spear in your offhand works like a boxer's jab. Quick and long range, great for poking, and when they get in close, you can stunlock them with the greatsword.
Whip - Works exactly like a spear, except it trades long range for the ability to be unparriable. This would be great for fighting against parry spammers and you don't want to backstab.
TacticsWhen you fight against people who can parry greatswords, make sure to kick constantly. Go up to them and attack once, and then kick and then attack again. Or if they keep blocking, try kicking them two or three times so you break their guard and then come out swinging.
