If players are looking for a colossal sword that can be used for faith builds, then Maliketh's Black Blade is a really good option. The weapon is a bit slower than the other colossal swords on this list, but the weapon art Destined Death is really potent.

The skill reads as follows:

"Set free the remnants of Destined Death, plunging the greatsword into the ground to summon a myriad of blades. In addition to dealing immediate damage, this attack reduces the enemy's maximum HP and continues to wear down HP for a short time"

This is a really powerful weapon art and it can annihilate some of the hardest bosses in the game.
