As someone who recently like since last month or so bought and finished Bloodborne for the first time Whirligig Saw . As far as I can tell it ' s THE most damaging pure strength weapon , so DPS is crazy . It ' s best in its transformed state where it actually swings quite fast and has long reach , and the L 2 attack is pretty much cheating if you ' re fighting any enemy or boss that gets staggered easily . Special mention goes to the amygdalan arm due to its decent damage , insane range it ' s a whip in its transformed state and multihit strong attack . You can use this to cheese certain enemies , especially a certain NPC hunter that is nighimpossible otherwise . It ' s also a strength weapon , though it will deal less damage than the whirligig its unusual moveset and range can be both useful and fun to use . Both are in the DLC and provided you ' re willing to look up their location on youtube , you can run right to them without fighting a single enemy .
