UBWS Clarifications

[Heimi]

If I equip a UBWS kryss on my archer, will I be able to use it with any skill or do I need swordsmanship or macing to take advantage of the property?

Also, is it possible to use weapon specials if you are using a UBWS weapon?

Thanks

usbws does not work with archery if you have swords or macing on your character then yes it will work using the skill level you are at for that skill

UBWS doesn't work with archery? So if I'm 120 archery and I use a ubws kryss, I can't use the kryss?

Not 100% sure but i was under the impression if you have archery you can use a UBWS broadsword but if you have swords for example you cant use a UBWS bow

I'm pretty certain you can use a ubws bow, but they don't spawn nor can they be crafted anymore. However, there are a few legacy ubws bows/crossbows around.
I know you can't use Evasion bushido skill with ubws melee weapon.
And while on the subject, can't parry with Archery.
