[@LETS-DREW-THIS]

@@billyray6210 Don't let them stress you bro. I make Hybrid builds on every Fromsoft Game. Actually every RPG that allows it.

Moonveil is insane, but the nagakiba just takes the cake for me. So fun to use.

[@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

[@zlatto]

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.

[@ValentinParkourGaming]

thanks for the tip

[@mangonoodlez]

Same thing for nagikiba-you just have to kill kira

[@Rocky-yw1zo]

I think my favorites are either serpantbone or dragonscale, both are really good in terms of visual design but it adds some uniqueness in the katana list, not only giving us a frost lightning infused death machine but a poison debuffer which make a fun and interesting combo when paired. (Guess I’m a fan if the weaker stuff)

[@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 :)

[@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

[@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.

The serpent bone blade had been my favorite katana since I got it and almost had me change my build during my first play through. It looks almost like a rapier with the intricate guard with an elegant savagery once you see the spines and such in the details if the weapons design. And it feels like a SWORDSMENS weapon, no overpowered ash of war, no dummy long range. Just you, your blade, some poison, and your moveset. I love this weapon

[@ValentinParkourGaming]

[@PrincessDoit]

I did a run with Meteoric Ore Blade recently and was pleasantly surprised. despite it only having only a "C" scaling in strength it was getting 500 physical damage without buffs on just a basic strength build. Plus the unique R2 is great at breaking enemy's posture, this weapon destroyed all main game bosses in only 4 hours from a fresh save! Its not the best katana but I'd say at LEAST B teir.

[@ValentinParkourGaming]

Yeah maybe B tier , I also had a lot of fun playing with it

[@nathenortiz5674]

[@ValentinParkourGaming]

Yep I am working on it as we speak :)

[@TheTurt]

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

[@ValentinParkourGaming]

Aha I am happy that you found some use to the list for your playthrough This list os also more geared towards pvp

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. ...\

Great Video. Enjoyed it a lot. I also. Think the Nagakiba is underrated by a lot of people. Only with serpentbone blade I have a different opinion. Yes, it needs a Power up, like a poison slash wave simular to the rivers of blood, as well as a arc scaling. But you always get the poison effect working with one complete L2 attack Line, as well as 2 Hits (so 1 R2 attack) after throwing a shit pot (stinkpots?). With mushroomcrown, rotten winged insignia and the kindred of rot talisman, this is actually extremly good. If you combine this with a rotten breath (normal or special) you got 2 damage Status effects, with 32-34ish percent damage boost. And you can reaply the poison effect every 30 seconds, while it lasts as buffed Version on the enemie for 20 seconds.

I agree with every single one of these points but I haven't tried the serpentine blade yet and it looks cool!

[@ValentinParkourGaming]

It is cool, just not very good

[@necroLAN]

Great video man , quite informative and enjoyable , also like that little malenia bit where you actually explained how radahn beat her ass up and defeated her , everytime i mention it in a comment section i get bombarded by weebs getting defensive over a fictional character , keep it up bro.

[@ValentinParkourGaming]

Yeah people are simping for Malenia, even though she is super ugly. Radahn was about to destroy her, and he did so while protecting his horse and holding the stars from moving.

[@omegaweapon116]

I was already using both of those S tier katanas before I watched the video. Love them both

[@OMGITzGriFFith]

Amazing video my friend, you deserve so much public, your work is real pro. 😊⚔️🛡️

[@ValentinParkourGaming]

Hey muchas gracias ! I am just copying PVP Skillz to be honest ^^ But what is important for me is that the real good player approve my work and research. SO if you say it is a good video, I am happy. Because honestly the youtube money isnt that great The other ier list I made did 100 000 views, and I have like 150 euros out of it. For a video that took maybe almost a week to be made ^^ But it is still some good pocket money :)

[@OMGITzGriFFith]

@@ValentinParkourGaming I feel you in that way, I have copied skills too from other great players but it still my work and my I work on improving and editing my videos to share them with my friends. I wish you the best Bro 😊

[@TR1GG3RED]

yo for such a small youtuber that was a fire intro

[@ValentinParkourGaming]

Thanks a lot Trigger, being small doesn't mean the video is bad quality, it is just bein lucky with the algorithm and hard worker and a bit of talent

[@ar.71944]

Both the dragonkin weapons need passive frost build up and or lightning damage

[@ValentinParkourGaming]

Yeah Dragon Halberd with the confirm combo on spinning slash is now really good. But dragonscale blade is still pretty trash tbh

[@klutzy2916]

People: Do Yura's world quest to get Nagakiba Me who got it by just killing him: 🙂

[@ValentinParkourGaming]

Yeah u can just kill him I guess ^^

[@andrewdottext8026]

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.

[@rachelloof7569]

I actually use only one katana and the other hand is casting magic : Reason is the duel weilding style isnt forte playstyle for me :D but i do have fun just yeeting enemies out of orbit with moonveil so awesome video! x3 Also: Moonveil my beloved ~ XD

[@JetSe77er]

I love your passion! Thanks for the great video.

Thanks to you Evan for watching it :)

[@hammo7406]

Another great video and another banger of an intro

[@ValentinParkourGaming]

Thank u ! I just used the same intro blueprint as for the greatsword video

[@bruhidk2530]

what armor are you using? that looks sick

[@ValentinParkourGaming]

Its mostly the Night’s Cavalry chezt

[@zielj5131]

Not gonna let the malenia slander slide she released the rot because she wanted to put her brother on the throne. It was a sacrifice of everything she was for his dream. Also Rahadahan would have just rebuilt the golden order because he was a Godfrey fan boy. Which kinda makes him the villain of the conflict, still a great character though.

[@ValentinParkourGaming]

She release the rot because she sucks balls and Radahn was whooping her “@ss while protecting his horse and hpreventing the stars from moving

[@zielj5131]

Nah nah nah he was try to take over and he prevent the stars from moving before the war started because daddy told him to screw over the carion royals. Now I do believe he was stronger then her but she did not release the rot because she was prideful she did it as a sacrifice to defeat the strongest demigod to realize her brother's dream. The lore stats she thought she would die for the cause and everything even her pride and reputation as a warrior was worth that dream. Rahadahan is far more of a I want the status quo to remain type of character. It was a battle of tradition vs change

[@ValentinParkourGaming]

Yeah but u are talking about morale I am talking about skills and who is beating the ass of who Radahn is ripping through her like butter watch the story trailer again buddy. But if u wanna keep simping for this worthless and skilless b¥tch then all the power to you L’amour rend aveugle

[@turkeys6878]

Oh man this tier list was nostalgic, reminds me of the old dark souls 3 weapon comparison bu pvpskills

[@ValentinParkourGaming]

Yep I am pretty much copying his all style ! I am surprise no one else thought about it

[@dstry4llhumans]

I adore the Serpentbone blade, but I sadly think you summed it up pretty well. It has a gorgeous design and an amazing heavy and the deadly poison makes it an actually useful weapon, but it cant escape the bottom tiers with its poor build up. I think it would be an amazing niche if it had even a small bit of arcane scaling to increase the build up.

[@cordyceps182]

>The most iconic weapon in Elden Ring I legitimately thought you were going to talk about the Moonveil at that point.

[@ValentinParkourGaming]

Aha yes, I meant Malenia being iconic becaus it was one of the 1st caracter we've seen of the game

[@stoneysenpaii]

Did you make the little animation on the side that displays for the AoW? I've never seen it in game and its pretty cool. Reminds me of how they show the moves in DMC5 lol

[@ValentinParkourGaming]

No I stole them from elden ring wiki

[@josetomascamposrobledano4618]

Nah. Rivers of Blood is still an easy S tier. Not only does it have both big importance in design for being super recognizable and is part of ER history for breaking the game with a free EZ mode… But it also has the elemental play! Use ice and mix with Rivers to proc the explosion over and over again! I hate that people got an EZ mode… but rivers is so great I even did a playthrough with it back when Arcane scalling didn’t exist!

[@josetomascamposrobledano4618]

Also. Moonveil also had a game breaking history of bringing EZ mode. It used to do INSANE posture damage! So PvE was RIP and PVP was also RIP because the standard magic damage was also higher.

[@ValentinParkourGaming]

This ranking is based on pvp not pve

[@mattd585]

Saying you should only use two katanas is a ridiculous statement. Moonveil and staff isn’t even fair to the opposition.

[@ValentinParkourGaming]

watch the moonveil part please

[@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

[@sobhisaoub738]

I love the quality, I seriously love it and would feel guilty not to subscribe!

[@ValentinParkourGaming]

Thanks for watching Sobhi ! You’re awesome

[@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

[@LiterallyErlkingHeathcliff]

bro dropped the sickest elden ring katana edit and though we wouldnt notice

[@ValentinParkourGaming]

Hey hey Link thank u so much for your super kind message

[@Punished_Pain]

Love the video. Since ure a high lvl player and not everyone else is like myself, could u maybe also include in short how u play with the weapons to get the most out of them? Like on landing corpse piler, transient moonlight etc. Would love to kinda know ur thought process to being more likely to land moves and gets some tips from u how to play better :))

[@ValentinParkourGaming]

Thanks for your comment Reboklonklang U can watch my other videos where I do commented duel, u can probably learn a thing or 2

[@TREVORVADER]

One of my favorite parts of this was your description of Malenia. Glad someone isn’t praising her like everyone normally does

[@ValentinParkourGaming]

Of course, I believe she is overhyped for no apparent reason. I think people simp for her because she is naked in her 2nd phase

[@jonstalin5992]

I’m sorry but what’s the music during the meteoric ore blade intro ? Nice video btw thank you 🙏

As a Strength user whose been through many of builds lately, even doing a Guts run on my channel I must say the Moonveil looks absolutely stunning to play with! I cannot wait to do a Anime or Samurai build with that sword for my 3rd run! Awesome video friend

[@ValentinParkourGaming]

Yeah you will have a lot of fun !

[@Person-tz1tk]

the Meteoric Ore Blade will always have a special place in my heart because it was my weapon for my first playthrough so weapons like Rivers of blood will never compare to it.

[@ValentinParkourGaming]

Yep it is always a special bond that is created with the wepaon you beat the game wiht, for me it was bloodhound fang

[@martinbach7333]

As a player who played with katanas probably the most and tried most of them. I have a few things i would like to mention which are either my personal experience or just something i do/use because i just love it. Disclaimer: I am a PVE player and i dont really mind the PVP much and when i did fought some ppl (i have like 100+- matches behind me. I rarely lost as During that time arena wasnt in the game. And as to answer your question about my favourite ash of war, At the start when elden ring came out it was Bloody Slash but after few hundred hours i realized that Unsheath is the real king and even the damage is better (+ the stagger) When it comes to Rivers of Blood. I tried to use it and see if it was good or not before the first buff patch (1.0 player here) Unfortunately it was bad and i didnt really touch it since and never was really interested in it. Meteoric Ore blade. OH BOI this was a pleasant surprise to be sure. I was focusing the build aorund the special heavy attack (ichimonji enjoyer :D) AND MY GOD that was a really surprising dmg. I tried this katana in PVP a few times against my friend who is not a fan of PVP but i wanted to it how well does it fare. WELL with my build i was vigor checking him so hard. Every charged heavy attack that i landed instantly deleted his HP. Alongside it's big charged heavy attack dmg it also deals insane amount of Poise. For exmaple Morgot. Got stunned with 2 charged heavys and was stunned then i repeated the process and he died (as i already had +10 weapon at that time) Tree sentinel is also staggered after 2 hits. Definitely fun weapon to try. Shame it looks the way it looks(my personal view as a blacksmith on this weapon) AND NOW time for my most used and personal favourite weapon of them all, YES as a PVE player. Hand of Malenia interested me the most as a blacksmith and as a player. Altho compared to Uchigatana it cant be buffed but it's damage is enough to carry me anywhere. The range, the design and the iconic ash of war, it all blended into a weapon i love the most. The more i play with it the more i learn about the game and the weapon it self. As a hand of Malenia enjoyer i love to find the way to apply the Ash of War on every boss possible. And this is something i find th emost interesting the learning curviture and finding the window where you can pull this off. A quick thought on Serpent Boneblade, Imagine if this weapon had the same effect as Rivers of blood. WOuldnt make it much better but at least it would make proccing the strong poison better :D Yeah i still have ot reach the point to use moonveil but eventually i will get to it and build a proper PVE character around the Yamato .. i mean Moonveil. It's a famous weapon so on point in saying anythign about this. Personal point tho. I love putting on Magic resist talisman and barrier of gold to bully moonveil users xD And the time for Uchigatana. My main choice for the entire playthrough and as a Samurai you can have 2 which is the best in my humble dex opinion. Great damage, can buff the weapon with anything (faith spells especially) blood infusion is nasty or dual Seppuku(i didnt play it but i know the theory.. eww) the starting Ash of War Unsheath is so damn strong. Overall a beast of a weapon. No personal experiwence with Nagakiba except it is a longer Uchigatana but gheat for Sephiroth cosplay. Sorry for the long comment. Great video as always

[@ValentinParkourGaming]

Don’t be sorry for the long comment, thanks a lot to share your persoective and watching the video :)
