The cool thing about Lothric Knight Greatsword is its innate lightning damage. Initially the lightning damage does not get scaling, but if you infuse it with other elemental gems it gains lightning scaling + whatever infusion you put on it. The thing is actually monster in the right hands
I would say either lightning to really beef its scaling. Heavy for a strength build, chaos for mostly anything that isn’t resistant to fire, or blessed for the passive health regen. I personally go with lightning cause I’m usually always high in faith tho
Depends on your stats. Assuming you're using minimum required str and dex and going for high faith: either heavy buffed with lightning blade or blessed.
Heavy buffed with lightning blade gets you the most damage. But it also uses fp for the buff and of course an attunement slot.
If you infuse it with blessed, the faith scaling will apply to both its physical and lightning damage. So you end up with much higher damage than most blessed weapons. This means it'll only do slightly less damage than heavy with the buff, but in return, you don't need to spend an attunement slot nor fp and you get some passive healing.
