For me Moonveil is simply S+ just because of how easy you can get it early. You can even go there at lvl 1 Samurai class and get it right away by defeating the boss, which isn't hard because of how easy it is to memorize it's attack pattern. (might get a few tries). Compared against something like Rivers of Blood or Malenia's Katana.

[@hideous_taco_michael_zacki]

If you actually want to be like Musashi, you don't need to powerstance two katanas, but rather use a katana with vakizashi (a dagger that looks like a short katana and powerstances with them). That's what his actual dual wielding technique looked like, and actually Okina pretty much represents Musashi in the game, as he also uses vakizashi in pair with rivers of blood.

[@ValentinParkourGaming]

Yeah the dual in real life is with a smaller katana, good call

[@omegaweapon116]

True. All samurai carried a smaller sword along with their katana. It was also used for seppuku if that situation arose

[@ItheauthorityI]

I like Meteoric the most, but I use it on a strength build and 2H it. It's really easy to roll catch people with the R2 when they're pulled in by the AoW. Srength/Int is one of my more favored setups. I'm a little shocked with Hand of Malenia's rating. The ash of war is pretty bad. I like Sperpentbone because of the R2. It always triggers the damage on successive attack talismans.

[@bourne.]

yh tbh I think Malenias one at best is only B tier, doesn't deserve to be up with the likes of uchigatana or RoB ash of war is extremely situational in both pve and gameplay lmao

[@ValentinParkourGaming]

agree

[@tonyogar6936]

As a Katana user through and through, I really enjoyed your list, and I'd say I'm in agreement with most - maybe toilet tier was a bit harsh for the bone blade 🤣🤣🤣🤣. It needs too much to be a day to day katana, and that's why the Uchi and Naga are my go to. Thier versatility is just bonkers. For PVE I use Uchis and in the arena dual nagas all the way.

[@ValentinParkourGaming]

Lol yes this is exactly what I told myself after the video was over ^^ Toilet is a bit harsh, but at least it was funny right :) thanks for your sweet message :)

[@Elmurri]

you're telling me that I found the strongest katana in the game in the most random way possible and I didn't even know it, I absolutely have to get to 20 dexterity

[@ValentinParkourGaming]

Yes you do ! Its true it is dropped after a random boss, it should have been a demi god boss weapon imo

[@seal7144]

To start, I only play PvE myself. I had to do at least one playthrough with a character named Miyamoto Musashi and using two katanas, I believe I used all of them throughout the playthrough at one point, but the Dragonscale and Meteoric Ore blade were two of my favorites. Using the Wakazashi dagger that powerstances with katanas also made the build more interesting.

[@ValentinParkourGaming]

Thanks for your comment and giving us your experience

[@joshuatucker2521]

@vngxrd GUTS GS with focus on Str/End/Vig. Golden Vow. Flame Grant Me Strength. Lion's Claw Ash of War with Heavy affinity. Blood Flame Incantation. Starscourge Talisman, Radahn Soreseal, or axe talisman. You will make all of Elden Ring your bitch. Easily the strongest build I have made up until mid game. At level 40 you will be stance breaking and killing every boss with a few Lion's Claws or heavy charged attacks. And best of all.. all of this can be acquired within a couple hours of starting a new playthru, along with enough smithing stones to +15 the sword. Simply OP build. Early game put the strength tear and the faith tear in your physick. This will give you the faith needed to cast the incantations and you'll be hitting like a truck. Golden Vow Ash of war is not as good at the incantation but will serve you well placing it on a dagger until later game and it can be acquired very early game along with everything else I have listed.

[@sniler5072]

Nagakiba is the GOAT!!! Half of my first playthrough was with this beast, until I realized that I've always been into the strength heavy build. I thought I could escape DS3 by going dex in Elden Ring, but strength build will always be in my heart. But I still use the nagakiba from time to time, and infuse it with whatever incantations and ashes of war. It is really fun!

I adore the Serpentbone blade, but I sadly think you summed it up pretty well.

Uchigatana SAVED MY LIFE when I struggled against Godrick. The bleed effect is what truly makes the weapon, and it can stagger some man sized enemies easily if you land a five hit R1 combo.

I actually ended up doing a katana run partly inspired from your tier list that I just finished. Ironically I ended up using the Dragonscale Blade throughout the majority if not the entire run lol. I am honestly starting to think it is a underrated gem. Like you said in your list, the Dragonscale Blade buffed with it's AoW ends up being one of the hardest hitting katanas of them all and this thing was taking chunks out of boss and player health bars. Combined with a procced frostbite, I don't think people understand just how much damage this blade is capable of dealing. I'd say it can even outperform bleed procs and was very useful against (the few) enemies immune to bleed. It's range can be a bit annoying at times, but even as the second shortest it really isn't much shorter than the golden standard uchi. I won't deny that the Dragonscale Blade still suffers especially when compared to the gods that are Nagi and Moonveil, but I do feel like Dragonscale Blade isn't getting enough credit either. I'd say it could fit nicely C-B tier. And maybe even A tier when bleed gets its eventual nerf. But that is my take right now. Now time to try Serpentbone Blade :D

[@liamcage7208]

In Patch 1.10 the Katana got a slight boost (maybe not all of them, not sure). I play exclusively PVE. These tier ratings are always PVP ratings as if that's all that matters. The Nagakiba is by far the best Katana. I use Incantations to pair with specific enemies (Bloodflame is my favorite) but also use various greases. The range is awesome. It is also perfect for mounted combat because of the range. I use Double Strike for its AOW as I find it proc's Bleed faster (might be my imagination but I also like how it looks and that matters too). Moonveil is my second favorite. I use it in my main hand about 40% depending on the enemy. Meteoric Ore Blade definitely has its place as well. Gravitas followed by heavy attack is often the answer to a problem. The off hand is paired with a katana. Usually Uchigatana but it may vary. ...\

[@bkeith1005]

@@ValentinParkourGaming quite admirable. Probably going to inspire someone yourself in the future. And thats the best legacy you can leave behind. Just like he inspired you. Keep it up !

Man your vids are top tier! Super entertaining ro watch! Nice work! Now I ain't a katana guy but Nakakiba is my pick. Although i love my rob swap for the bleed prock.

[@ValentinParkourGaming]

Thanks a lot Tony, it means a lot coming from you ! I am glad you enjoy them, I put a lot of work and love into them

[@Jawednot]

Like it is so telegraphed. Nagakiba comes ahead. That ar of transient and just moonveil wont come ahead unless your oponent just missed with his chunk of cinder

[@ValentinParkourGaming]

I disagree but that's ok :)

[@AstralNightVA]

my favorite ash of war for my katanas are either double slash (depending on how long the blade is) or storm or storm caller

[@ValentinParkourGaming]

Great choice my friend !

I use Nagakiba and Moonveil in both hands. Nagakiba on right hand with Bloodhound Step and Moonveil on left hand. People recognize the Moonveil and expect the skill spamming, and then they see you disappearing all of the sudden and lose their minds. And when they less expect it, you dualhand Moonveil and do a ranged finishing blow with the skill. 10/10 best magic Shinobi experience in Elden Ring.

[@VerdeletVIII]

I played most of the game with the Nagakiba, expecting to switch once I got Rivers of Blood. After maxing both I’m firmly on the Nagakiba train.

[@miphaestrella1606]

Hand of melania is my favorite :) I just love that it take skill to land attacks in pvp especially with waterfowl dance! In my opinion they probably should’ve made it stronger initially but for what it is I just love it!

[@ValentinParkourGaming]

Yep u gotta u use what u love the most no matter the ranking

I recognize a Berserk fan when I see one. Nice set of songs!

[@ValentinParkourGaming]

Of course, Berserk changed my life !

[@darylsteenkamp]

I love the feel and moveset of the Serpentbone. The slashing is so clean. Simple and effective katana! Just power stance with a bleed katana and you're kicking ass!

[@ValentinParkourGaming]

Yeah if you like it then use it, you should use what u think is fun, not I think is good

[@ericbana191]

I use the fully leveled blood Uchigatana with bloodhound step, and have fun watching the bloody overpowered Mage snipers run for their lives when I close the distance in blinding speed. Then if they crowd over team mates in united combat, bringing out Radahn's greatsword and smash them with starcallers cry. Instant 3 if they are unlucky enough.

[@ValentinParkourGaming]

Noice strat !

[@Kburn1985]

What I like is you rank according to pvp. Other channels rank using pve with summons. I play pve solo, and your ranking is closer to mine, because fighting bosses solo requires 2 things pvp needs too - speed and reach. Other channels just rank according to damage because they got a distraction bot

[@ValentinParkourGaming]

Exactly solo is the best way to play imo. ! Thanks for your message and watching the video !

[@jakobgustafsson7898]

I finished my first playthrough using only the Uchigatana ❤️

[@ValentinParkourGaming]

Beautiful. So I guess u took a samurai for your starting class

[@jakobgustafsson7898]

@@ValentinParkourGaming yes indeed! I picked Samurai and i kept the same sword and armor for almost the whole game. Only switching my armor halfways through

[@vinayaktiwari8463]

I carry both moonveil and nagakiba in my right. Moonveil for higher level enemies and nagakiba for exploration.

[@ValentinParkourGaming]

Good choice !

[@giovannigiorgio831]

My first playthrough was a power stance Nagakiba/Uchigatana blood and fire build. My main strategy was to buff my Uchigatana with Bloodflame Blade and proc Hemorrhage with Double Slash. I had Bloody Slash on my Nagakiba because it deals a lot of damage and can sometimes go through shields. Fire spells were mostly for wave clearing, breaking up groups and a bit of style.

I am working on colossal, probably spear will be 2nd !

[@danieldeak9141]

The serpentbone blade looks so cool tho. If its ash could be changed defo S tier for me

[@ValentinParkourGaming]

Yeah i wish we could change the ash of war

[@sergiovazquez9612]

Tier List of Colossal Wapons, Colossal Swords or Halberd

[@ValentinParkourGaming]

Colossal swords is next

[@kamehamehaDdragon]

Serpentbone blade is my favorite katana, I usually poison my enemies, but I do use the single katana. Its R2 is very good, if you catch opponents with it they will be very close of being poisoned. Great video.

[@ValentinParkourGaming]

Aaaah I didn t know about this technic, thanks for letting me know !

@@ValentinParkourGaming well idk if technique is the word, i just really enjoy the unique r2.

Whenever i feel like using katanas , i power stance with Moonveil and Nagakiba , Moonveil on main hand for the Vergil cosplay attacks and Nagakiba in off hand for the reach , Already knew they were gonna be S-tier 😂

[@ValentinParkourGaming]

Yep you knew before watching the video what waere the best katanas

[@Recotaonipad]

I have only beaten the game with katanas

[@ValentinParkourGaming]

Its one of the coolest weapon !

[@aldrichjosefhate4523]

I really want to use the moonveil for NG+3 and beyond, but Moonveil falls off due to bosses getting a buff in HP for every new playthrough (stops scaling at NG+7), so I'll stick with rivers of blood and nagakiba.

[@ValentinParkourGaming]

You can also just use moonveil for fun

[@aFrostySkywalker]

Great video you explained why these are good or bad. Most people just rank them

[@ValentinParkourGaming]

Of course I have to be thorough in my ranking! Thanks for watching and commenting Alex :)

[@yurgon-qb9xv]

duel welding the dragonscale blade is pretty dope. once you buff both of them your dmg output is nutts

[@ValentinParkourGaming]

Yeah but you need to double buff them, and u still have a short range. It s a shame because this weapon looks really cool

Love the commentary and usage of historic lore in this video 👍🏻

@ValentinParkourGaming No problem! Glad I found your channel

[@sudiptasikder3857]

You are absolutely right.... Nagakiba is the best katana as you find yourself top on combating. 🙏 Personally.... in my 2nd play through I keep Nagakiba on board (ashes of War -double slash with ice build up achived 117 dps and 45 blood build up as well) till end game as well as moonveil in left hand,, smoking enemy top to bottom. Many thanks.... For your great katana ranking video and your rating is perfect 💯

Wow thanks for the amazing comment and support my friend. You're awesome ! Personally I love the Dragonscale Blade but it is just so bad ^^
