Elden Ring- Shogun of Bloodflame | Great Katana Build

Описание: For this Build: This Elden Ring Build is a Dexterity Build centered around the Great Katana, set to the Keen affinity and utilizing various powerful Ashes of War such as Overhead Stance, Piercing Fang and Storm Blade. To begin with this build's weapon of choice, the Great Katana’s moveset is a very satisfying mix of slash and poke attacks with a swing speed akin to a Curved Greatsword and also deals similar stance damage to it as well. The two-handed moveset is particularly a favorite of mine with the Great Katana where the 2nd and 3rd attacks in the light attack chain are pokes as are the rolling attack and running attack. While this build is run as a Dexterity build, I did want to mention this build could function just as well as a Strength build as the Great Katana has a B scaling with Heavy and Keen with a scaling value of 123 in Strength and Dexterity respectively. The Ashes of War I run with this build act as strong extensions of its moveset, be it the Great Katana's signature weapon skill, Overhead Stance, Piercing Fang or Storm Blade. While using this build, it makes use of Bloodflame Blade. This adds 40 Bleed over the course of 2 seconds when landing a hit, which gives the Great Katana virtually 95 Bleed, which is comparable to if this weapon was set to the Occult affinity and an Arcane Build. To maximize offensive power, this build also makes uses of successive hit talismans, Golden Vow and Howl of Shabriri. This build also works well with either the Two-Handed Sword Talisman or the Lord of Blood's Exultation.

Great Katana's AR (Keen) when two-handing: 747 (1532 with Scadutree Blessing 20)

Great Katana's AR (Keen) when two-handing and buffed by Bloodflame Blade, Golden Vow and Howl of Shabriri: 1152 (2366 with Scadutree Blessing 20)
