Which is better, the Greatsword of Artorias or Cursed?

Neither Greatsword of Artorias (Holy/Uncursed) nor Cursed is definitively "better"; the Cursed version is more practical for general use (especially New Londo ghosts) with pure physical damage and lower stat requirements, while the Holy version excels with high Faith/Int builds against undead/darkwraiths but struggles with magic resistance and high stats, making the Abyss Greatsword often the superior choice overall for its strong moveset and Humanity scaling if you have the DLC.
