man I really hope the dragonscale katana gets a rework. it's such a cool idea having ice lighting yet having no frost buildup or lighting damage on its own

[@on1ytheb3st]

Right there with you man, it checks every box for me except for the ash of war. It looks cool but does not work in most cases

[@Glogang21]

Yea I wish it had a better ash of war. You know that lightning slash genichiro does in sekiro? I hope it’s something like that but with frost/lightning

[@Glogang21]

That would be dope

[@AndrewMystx]

It does have frost build up.

[@Eo-ms3kw]

The buff is pretty strong though. It gives a good chunk of damage and frost buildup. Just wish it lasted a bit longer. And I also don't understand why it takes so much fp. The dragonscale blade also gets less damage than all the other katanas which is pretty unfortunate.

[@TojiFushigyo]

dont kill the hunter for his nagakiba, do his whole quest, its not long and u get an additional weapon.

Although not a katana, you should add Wakizashi if someone wants to powerstance it with a katana. It uses katana moveset and you get style points for using a the longest katana and the shortest.

[@biodudezerothree9236]

Uchi is incredibly underrated here IMO. Unsheathe is a significantly stronger ash of war than either Ice lightning sword or gravitas. Nagakiba is also very good just by virtue of its great range

[@Eraghost]

Nagakiba is second place ez, ash of war can be changed and the range it's amazing, and it's the coolest looking one along with the moonveil

[@KakashiHatake-qs6um]

moon veil has the same unsheath with a lot more of damage and range, still Uchigatana its the 4th best katana

[@doruk7125]

Nagakiba is the best katana in the game.

[@Eo-ms3kw]

Well Nagakiba is just straight up better. The Uchigatana can't do anything the Nagakiba can't do better so it's pretty useless.

[@numrut96]

@@KakashiHatake-qs6um range - yes, damage - I'd not say that. Ligthing nagakiba or Uchigatana are doing 1800 damage with heavy unsheath attacks and it consumes less fp.

[@FlightX101]

imo blood Uchigatana (while one of the more basic weapons ) is one of the best and most moldable weapons in the game. And you still have your left hand for parrys, a 2nd blade, incantations,etc to mix people up

[@___Bandit___]

True. The same can be said for the nagakiba. I think people mostly use somber weapons instead of normal ones. Which kinda sucks because normal weapons can easily yield greater damage than somber weapons when paired with the right builds. Uchigatana and nagakiba are great examples of this.

[@BirDokunuş]

I completed the game 3 times and only used moonveil and it was enough. Thanks to this, I was able to continue as a wizard, but I don't like the bloody one.

[@tomascali1817]

Moon veil heavy attack interrupts enemy animations. If the enemy has enough health it’ll eventually stagger them. With 50 int it hits at around 1k dmg for every heavy strike. Dual wield this with a uchigatana with bloody slash and it’ll bring the blood build up to 88 while moon will has 50. Rivers of blood is ass compared to moonveil.

[@notviko]

can u tell me ur build?

[@Glogang21]

Damn thats crazy!

[@clickbait7682]

Bro I do 4k damage per Ash of war with 30 arc and 50 dex I also fo up to 900 per heavy attack and I don't even have the proper build I literally only got the roted winged sword talisman, marika and radagons sorceal and the starscourge hairlom and don't get me started on the bleed damage witch can go up to 5k per bloodloss build up. Moon ail is nice and can stager enemies easily but it's not better than the rivers of blood at least until they patch bloodloss

[@eliasandbros1366]

Bleed.

[@samfr2537]

I do 10k damage in seconds with the RoB, I love the moonveil but I’d say they are about equal. In terms of damage Rivers Of Blood>> In terms of stagger potential Moonveil>>

Nagakiba with bloodloss stacked with Raptor's Mist can take down the Fire Giant with no hit from the Giant. Also stamina boost too.

Nagakiba is the most underrated here, the extra range and the changed poke instead of slash gives MASSIVE range, on top of that using bloodflame blade with unsheathe means you get a poise breaking bleed monster

[@DoEmDirty87]

Moonveil is best at keeping some distance were as the rivers of blood is more close kombat...both great weapons just work in different play styles

[@nicolai474]

Yeah but rivers is just better for the builds with a uchigatana or nagakiba i think, but moonveil is a good option anyway and let you make a mage if you like

Well made video you earned a sub with this one good job

[@leone991]

[@nicol8973]

Rapaz eu já usei a rios de sangue e garanto que a nagakiba ou a uchigatana com corte giratório com um nível considerável, buffada com algum cebo ou encantamento é melhor, quebra a postura de quase qualquer inimigo em menos de 4 usos, custa menos pf, quebra hyperarmor, é rápida, pega vários inimigos e pode ser adequada pra sua build pq da pra colocar aguçada, pesada etc, e se você usar ela de sangue você consegue aplicar sangramento consideralmente rapido, e você ainda pode usar no começo do game, os defeitos é que não vai tão longe quanto a rios e ela sangra mais devagar.

[@nicol8973]

Pode confiar pq tenho mais de 200 horas

[@Mark1sa]

why uchigatana 7? Uchigatana have the bleeding effect + with sharpness and 25+ Its the only one katana with A scale from Dexterity. I have both utigatanas, on 10+ and 7+ and even though they deal a good damage

[@Proj3ctX1]

Whenever I watch these videos I found out there are even more places Ive yet to explore🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@isaacmendoza9218]

I personally believe the Katana is only rated based off the build you play. I run a nagakiba dual wield with the hand of Melania because range is amazing with bloodhounds quick step to get you that extra distance and it can really throw off your opponent if used offensively. I only really use hand of Melania for its dps and not for its ash of war. Now if you tried to pair any other katana with this build it would immediately become F tier in my book.

[@redbirb1571]

Nagakiba is capable of being better than RoB and Moonveil and Uchigatana is a great off hand weapon. I don't think you should look down on them just because they are infusable weapons. Both is A or higher for me.

about the nagakiba, just kill yura, do not feel bad about it, although his questline will give you some good weapons but you can still find those bloody fingers without him

[@robsdfs]

occult uchigatana with high arcane tops other katanas except rivers of blood. on the other hand with high int the moonveil becomes the best (as damage) so you just have to keep in mind how you level up. uchigatana is still one of the most versatile and strong when you put an affinity on it
