I love weapons like this that aren't optimal but still ideal for builds outside its category's niche. The broadsword in this game is the straight sword of choice for strength builds that want to work in a straight sword.

Couldn't you get a blue broadsword from the chest in Majula?

The broadsword is amazing for me a lot of bosses are easy to kill but they do a ton of damage

For some reason it takes more stamina to swing than the longsword, and it's both shorter and unable to stab, so the small boost in damage really isn't worth it over the longsword unless maybe your character is both pure STR and early game, even then it's meh
Best sword in the game - Git gud if you can't handle or play Kirby's Dreamland :P

The sword also drops from the weird creatures in No Man's Warf (SotFS)
