One huge tip. If you have a friend, you can make a character, go straight to Yura, kill him and get Nagakiba, give it to your friend and he gives it back. Then do it again and you can start the game with 2 Nagakibas wich is... Freaking awesome and instantly viable for low lvl pvp.

As people have pointed out, Wakizashi is classified as a dagger but can be powerstanced with a Katana. If you ever make a Dagger video, do follow up on that. And honestly the Meteoric Ore Blade is slept on. I won't blame Moonveil and RoB specifically for that, I love those weapons but they did seem to overshadow the Meteoric Ore Blade. It has good Quality Scaling + Int scaling, deals tons of superarmor/poise damage with the R2 and the Gravitas ash of war is really good for utility. Great informative content as always!

[@theschwiftyman8840]

Is it classed a dagger in-game? In real life it is actually a "short sword", a one handed version of the Katana. Small to large: - Tantō - Kodachi / Wakizashi - Katana - O Katana (slightly longer katana) - Nodachì (long blade with long handle) - Odachi (basically a oversized katana) These are not all japanese swords ofcourse

While Most of these unique katana are cool, the best ones are still dual wield uchigatana spec’d into occulant with seppuku for the ash of war.

Sadly, the dragonscale blade is not as good as the others. The ice lightning strike takes too long and the effect on your blade will vanish after about 10sec. buffing the regular uchigatana is better in every way.

[@paolosalvador9783]

at least they give it an blood loss or frost bite as a passive skill. sad to see a cool katana but not that viable

[@WTF606able]

It's not 10sec the skill lasts for 20sec before u have to reapply

[@WTF606able]

And also it does frost and lightning damage at the same time when skill is active. Also when u get frost bite on someone they take 20% more damage until the frost bite wears off

Dragon ice lightning is underrated imho. The dragon halberd is the only weapon in the game to my knowledge that uses the basic spinning ash of war to buff its weapon with it. Love ice spells in general now!

The Uchi is fantastic if you want a Katana on your STR build. I believe it goes up to A scaling. Nagakiba is also decent for a fire-infused STR build.

It's really hard not to like katanas in Elden Ring. It's just shame it kind of overshadows straight swords in almost every way. I hope FS will buff them or at least give more of them the Short Sword move set.

People don't realize how useful sword enchantments are. And you can't really use them on 90% of katanas

If a weapon has any passive status build ups you can't use armament enchants. And let me tell you something. Scholars Armament is a force to be reckoned with. I would assume others are equally powerful. So a basic sword of any kind that doesn't have status build ups that have standard whetstone stats can get some insane buffs

Only suspicious thing is that the Corpse Piler is for some reason building bloodloss faster than i.e. Uchigatana with the Double Strike and stat wise higher bloodlost build up. However I don't see any reason for the direct damage to increase more with arc D over dex B. Fire damage is usually str or fai related so I don't see any reason why it should scale better with arc but even so the damage distribution is 50 - 50 physical - fire so why arcane increases overall damage more with 2 tier lower scaling. Something's odd that's for sure.

[@malachimcbean9141]

Currently im using moonveil and i love it

[@GameThot]

Where’s the faith katana

[@deneilsmalley5924]

I’m sayin bro. It should be the dragon scale katana but they took off its faith scaling. Very disappointing to see tbh

[@reggielacey2235]

Duel welding moon veil and rivers of blood and having a blast

[@nsk1911]

Bruh, you must be loved in PvP

[@WesWarlord]

This helped me defeat the first boss thank you😁

[@ranking5252]

U can also get the nagakiba by going to zumirs ruins at the giants mountain tops and killing him and you get his amor set and his sword

[@SerenityYoutube]

I have a level 6 moonveil and level 4 meteoric ore blade, should I power stance it or only use moonveil?

[@MrEvanBacon]

the double slash art is literally the same as Corpse Piler without the ranged bit....

[@marcusochoajaramillo67]

dude's bout to go Killer B on every mob/boss in game

[@desert-dweller9028]

I missed out on so much at the Volcano😢. I did the knight but went to boss after. I killed beast champion armor guy because I needed a good set from the start but as soon as I finish up the last few items to get ill start ng+

[@nardothegreat4343]

I got the nagakiba at the original spot it was already there I got to the fire giant before meeting him and I went to the church to fight someone for the beautiful poleblade

[@georgielockhart6686]

I've always been drawn to the Katana's since the original Demon Souls. In this game I like the Rivers of Blood. I main Eleanora's Poleblade, but keep ROB on my off hand for emergency situation.

[@WTF606able]

Lol not for emergency situations more like using it when they do so u can show them that it takes no skill to use that

[@mikek5411]

Couldn't get the Nagakiba. Is it because Yura died in the fight at Raya Lucaria? If so is there another way to get the Nagakiba?

[@Ronaldihldo]

I prefer running powerstance twinblades (eleonoras + Godskin peeler) over katanas. Spamming Rivers of blood art just doesnt feel satisfying to me. Jumping L1 with duel twinblades is so fun

[@darklordshuaib]

jump l1 is soo op especially with the claw talisman.

[@emerystheimmortal417]

How is spamming the jumping L1 different to spamming L2

[@Ronaldihldo]

@@emerystheimmortal417 using L1 you still have to get up close and time your attacks. L2 on Rivers of blood there is no thought process, at least in PvE. You just run up and mash L2 and get off your ranged lock on attack. I don't judge anyone for using it just as a personal preference I get more satisfaction out of jump attacks then weapon arts

[@Ronaldihldo]

@@darklordshuaib Yup, plus the Raptors black feathers chest piece. Add on other buffs like successive attack talisman, white mask, seppuku, golden vow, flame grant me strength etc you can hit crazy damage

[@phillippowell6627]

Yeah that still sounds like cheese and doesn’t really require anymore skill. It’s like playing street fighter and only doing the jump kick the entire match.

[@alexonmendez466]

I have a big doubt: it's my first time playing this game. I've never tried dark soul games before, not even bloodborne. I've played monster hunter before and I'm a longsword user. I had this feeling that the weapon I should be using in this game is clearly katanas but, a friend of mine told me I had to invest in strength, vigor and endurance in order to play as a melee character (which I always wanted to do). I was trying heavy swords and I found out they're too slow for me. Of course a heavy sword is better in some situations, that's how I killed the tree sentinel (my first boss). But I invested in strength and not that much in dex. My stats are: Vigor: 40 Mind: 12 Endurance: 30 Dex:20 Strength: 40 Int: 12 Arc:12 Faith: 12 I just wanna know if I can be a melee character that uses katanas. Please somebody help me with this doubt
