Used the classic uchi whole game up until I got this. Finished the game and NG+ with it

I always try katanas, and I always go back to the zweihander.

I feel that, the Uchi and the Zwei are my 2 favorite standard weapons. My first Dark Souls 1 playthru was a lightning Zweihander. Ever since then it's been my default strength weapon!

Surprise, surprise, another weapon I've never tried before, haha. On my first playthrough I took one look at the DEX requirement and immediately went "nope!". You also get it so late in the game and you've likely decided on your build by that point. I definitely should try it out soon.

I know you've been on the receiving end of this weapon plenty of times, lol! Even if you run a katana build, most people don't have 48 points to invest in dex by the end of NG. there are some great things you can do with waterfowl, especially since it puts you in the air for a bit!

@@the_jersey_side Yeah, I didn't know the softcaps while I was playing blind. I even forgot to upgrade my Vigor until after Morgott and for the longest time, I only have 18 VIG. I didn't have enough HP or damage but somehow stumbled my way to the end, lol.

I wanted to ask if there's a strong reason to two hand dex katanas (dex weapons in geenral) besides maybe moveset. Since damage benefit from strength is minimal. But two handed attacks do have better motion values? And two handed katana attacks are quite good moveset wise? If going pure dex and no arcane, is there enough of a reason to two hand a katana instead of dual-wielding? Is there not much of a damage loss? It's so hard to know about these things i feel.

personally, I'm unsure of the motion values, but I can say I prefer the movest of 2 handed attacks over 1 handed. Dual wielding can be nice, but your attacks are slower, and status buildup is nerfed while dual wielding to 60% of stated value (that was put in a post launch patch). For my builds, since I limit the level to RL150, it also limits what I can use. I can spare points for Int or Faith, and using another weapon would put me in another weight class. It also allowed me to run 12 strength and still use this weapon effectively!

@@the_jersey_sideyeah those are good points. And the slowness of dual wielding can limit its effectiveness. Might try such a two handed build since it's more my speed than dual wielding, at least in elden ring. Just always wondered if it was being inefficient.

@@albegade It often depends more on moveset and speed as opposed to damage; especially on DEX weapons. However, you can also infuse a katana with Heavy affinity to get that two-handed bonus.

The most broken weapon in that game is the Blasphemous blade, imo. The ash of war is just ridiculous, it does tons of damage and stun and the life steal is stupid.

@KurwaRomek Unless you're running something like a keen Uchi or Bolt of Gransax, this is totally an NG+ weapon. I didn't beat her until post game when I first played myself. I've actually never used the Blasphemous Blade in a build yet, but I may take you up on that recommendation! I've been using a lot of powerful weapons I haven't touched yet, and that sounds like a great (and powerful) option

@@the_jersey_sideblasphemous blade is almost comically powerful. A full fire damage full faith build will just smash through everything with taker's flames. And it self heals. There are many powerful weapon arts that can be the only thing you use and taker's flames are by far the best for it. Plus you get to use fun incantations. I got a little bored with my blasphemous blade character and maybe it has an issue with mohg, but even then I think a big chunk is nonelemental damage? Everything else it destroys. Maybe malenia dodges? But with enough effort can hit her and it will decimate. I guess the big things about taker's flames is that the damage is huge, knocks down enemies, is fast and spammable, big AOE, heals (also helps with doing it in risky ways), and the cost is not much.
