Agree with Nagakiba. As soon as I got it, my mind was blown with how elegant and fast can you be. No cheap tricks, you learn how to work it around and you can be a beast. Underrated
So is this based solely off pvp for the nagakiba? Because rivers of blood and moonveil do way more damage to bosses atleast in my time playing the game.

I love the moonveil man it’s my favourite katana and I’m also in love with the rivers of blood but the amount of toxicity around using both in pvp really turns me off it the amount of hate mail i’ve gotten while using these weapons is crazy so i just switched to bloody helice
@@billyray6210 Don't let them stress you bro. I make Hybrid builds on every Fromsoft Game. Actually every RPG that allows it. I made my Battle Sage long before I knew Moonveil existed and while I've changed my weapons on and off there's no shame in using whatever. Besides, Moonveil is easy to dodge and if they can't that's cause they suck
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)
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.
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.
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.
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
This tier list series is one of the best sources of weapon info out there! Would love to see you make a tier list of collosal greatswords! They are my favorite weapon type in every darksouls game and now in elden ring!
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.
@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.
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.
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 :)
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!
@@ValentinParkourGaming by the way great tier list, I have to say your rankings were on point. Most of my first new game pluses (the first 2 to be exact) were katana builds and I kinda ran the whole game only for katanas. Personally I enjoy the versatility of the nagakiba and its range. Currently on new game +5 with rivers of blood. What's your favorite overall?
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.
These thumbnails are godly, also the uchigatana works great for pure strength builds as it gives you an A scaling on the heavy affinity and has a small dex requirement. loved the video :D
Super impressive video! It was so interesting hearing the background and inspirations for the katanas. I had no idea the power stance moveset was inspired by someone. Very fascinating.
Only correction I have about rivers is that at launch it’s scaling was broken. It wasn’t until it’s scaling was fixed in a later patch (1.0.4 if I’m remembering it right) that it became a monstrous weapon that made people break controllers.
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
@Valentin Gaming Athlete ofc ofc lol, you just helped me remember a hole in my knowledge. Foreman is tied for my favorite fighter of all time. And the number one guy I would never want to get hit by
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.
Great video! I like the Moonveil better than the Nagakiba. That ash of war is just ridiculously good at deleting opponents. And the fact that it pisses people off so much is a huge bonus, lol.
@@bbyponk I don’t know, mate, seems like the people getting mad at a weapon in a video game being used are the toxic ones. Laughing at their toxicity seems like a pretty good way to deal with it.
Finally, someone else who agrees that Malenia completely lost to Radahn and only got out alive because she nuked all of Caelid. That aside, I still think my favorite katana is either the Nagakiba or Serpentbone. Powerstancing is fun with them.
@@ValentinParkourGaming Bro, he literally diced her prosthetics like warm butter, I swear if Malenia didn't use her big flower hacks to nuke an entire country, Radahn wouldn't have been cursed with Giga Aids for the rest of his life, lmao
@@ValentinParkourGaming dont forget that after her last pathetic attempt at winning failed , she fainted and was left to die covered with wounds in a pool of her blood and rot , radahn pretty much left out of pity , if not for finlay saving her she wouldve died the most embarrassing death , whenever i mention any of this on a related video to the subject i get bombarded by weebs crying.
@@ValentinParkourGaming It probably has something to do with the game outright saying as much and the fact that before she ever used the rot she impaled him to the ground like a butterfly. Radahn is the only demigod who has lost to every demigod he's fought (he got his cheeks clapped by Morgott) besides Godrick. Kinda sad ngl.
from the intro dialogue to the epic intro-intro video/voiceover to the actual content. this is a quality video. in 2024 you see so much garbage, you really have to appreciate people putting in effort. dude ur good at what you're doing. well done.
Thank u so much man it means a lot. I have got inspired and pretty much copied the style of an old school youtube called PvPSkillz. Since he stopped making content since dark souls 3 I have decided to keep is work
@@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 !
Fun fact about the serpent weapons' poison, (the katana, fists, shield), can be strong poison. The game doesn't tell you, but the poison can be more aggressive than standard poison, like an in-between of regular poison and scarlett rot. (Side note: the fists with bleed, paired with a rot weapon is a good snowballing combination)
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
Yoooo amazing video. Quick question, where can I find that Nier automata song that is on the backgroung when you're talking about rivers of blood at 5:00?
Might be popular opinion but I just fucking love the Rivers of Blood so much. The Ash of War on it is so cool, and even still the weapon just looks sick in general.
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. ...\
@@ValentinParkourGaming The Nagakiba is S tier for pve with incantations to fit the occasion. Moonveil also fits the bill but its shorter length makes the difference for me. I like Moonveil for dealing mobs/hoards that risk overwhelming me, the AOW cuts a nice path. Rivers of Blood just isn't the sword it used to be so A tier. Bloodflame on the Nagakiba does more damage I think.
Damn, you make Some pretty well editited and high quality video’s for your sub count. Hope you wil get bigger dude, keep it up. And also, is this Gonna be a series
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!
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.
See alot of people fail to realize that with rivers of blood the weapon itself didn’t really get a nerf, it was primarily just it’s ash of war. ROB is definitely one the hardest hitting light weapons in the game, I’ve gotten mine to do close to about 800 AR with NO buffs at all, so if you just powerstance two of them and only use the ash of war to roll catch or surprise attack someone it’s arguably one the better weapons and one of the best katanas in the game
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.
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
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
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 was able to get early game souls farming in Caelid because of it, so I was eventually able to completely melt Godrick’s health. 🔥
@@ValentinParkourGaming I have been having a blast, I have been streaming my experience ( thebestguy32) watch some of your guides and stuff and choose to be a samurai
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.
ur Japanese pronunciation is on spot 💯 it makes me appreciate the video and got hooked into it! a lot of ppl dont really pronounce Japanese names / words properly so thank you! ty for the guide aswell 👏
Arigato my friend, this is the best compliment I could ever receive. Everytime I say words in another language, I always try my best to respect the culture and pronounce it right :)
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!
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
Yes you are right. Moonveil and nagakiba are the best. Just got my second moonveil so i am dual vielding those because i have int at 80 and i am using sorcery also.
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.
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!
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.
The nagakiba is a pretty good weapon all around, and so is one of the best weapons in the game. It has very good reach, intrinsic bleed, decent AR, gets access to running R2 poke, gets the fast version of ashes like spinning slash, does very quick attacks when powerstanced. Like if you need a weapon for something, chances are the nagakiba can fulfill that role pretty decently. I haven't done much pvp at all, but using a dex setup with duel nagakiba, I had a 30 win streak in the colosseum duels. I also found decent success in using a soft swap hoslow petal whip with hoarfrost stomp, since it would add more range and methods to pressure and deal damage if opponents were playing too passively.
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 :)
@@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 😊
So i tried and tested the serpentbone blade, and it's true this weapon made no sense ; you level it up with normal smithing stone, but you can't change the art of war, nor grease it and it has no bleed. Even in the poison department it's a lot easier to inflict bleed AND poison with other weapon. But : this weapon has a lot of reach when you fully charge your heavy attack, it can surpise the opponent. The heavy double slash is pretty difficult to dodge in PvP. The lethal poison has a loop of 30 seconds before vanishing instead of the normal poison which last 90 seconds, it creates the perfect loop with some talisman (the one which gives a boost of 20% damage when poison is applied) and the bonus given by the mushroom crown. It's heavy attack is enough to trigger the effect of multi-hit talisman (sword insignia etc) It's charged heavy is the most damaging one when the two hit combo connect. Clearly not a bad weapon, despite being so strange on paper, i have learned to love it.
Yeah but it coupe have been soooo much better man. Imagine it also had bleed and u could change the ash of war ? Or they would have giving it a unique ash of war !
@@ValentinParkourGaming The weapon just need somber smithing stones and an art of war with a lot of mobility, or something that can proc a lot of damage on poisened targets, while removing the poison. This way you coul use the AoW in order to inflict big damage if you saw the opportunity... At least the design is cool
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.
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.
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
I really think you were off on the Dragonscale Blade one. It doesn't have exceptional damage before you use its AoW, but after you do it procs frostbite really quickly, not to mention that I find its damage output after using its AoW to be one of the highest of the katanas. The lightning bolt itself kind of sucks, but it does some nice chip damage if you're reapplying the lightning and you're near the enemy. Dual wielding Dragonscale and a Bleed Nagakiba is a great way to fight Malenia.
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.
Rivers of Blood's original name is actually terrifying.
屍(Corpse)
山(Mountain)

He misses a few
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!
U can still use it on a strength build of u want
Throw flame stroke on it, and lean into the str side
You changed it for what weapon?
Cool intro montage, I really loved the quotes from multiple demi gods being used
Thanks a lot for watching the video Yonnash :)
@@ValentinParkourGaming by the way great tier list, I have to say your rankings were on point. Most of my first new game pluses (the first 2 to be exact) were katana builds and I kinda ran the whole game only for katanas. Personally I enjoy the versatility of the nagakiba and its range. Currently on new game +5 with rivers of blood. What's your favorite overall?
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.
Yeah maybe B tier , I also had a lot of fun playing with it
These thumbnails are godly, also the uchigatana works great for pure strength builds as it gives you an A scaling on the heavy affinity and has a small dex requirement. loved the video :D
I guess the uchi is really the goat !
Thanks Deep Speed for your comment and watching the video :)
Super impressive video! It was so interesting hearing the background and inspirations for the katanas. I had no idea the power stance moveset was inspired by someone. Very fascinating.
Thanks for watching the video Logan :)
Only correction I have about rivers is that at launch it’s scaling was broken. It wasn’t until it’s scaling was fixed in a later patch (1.0.4 if I’m remembering it right) that it became a monstrous weapon that made people break controllers.
thanks Crimson
@@ValentinParkourGaming your welcome
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
At the end of the day Dragonslayer this list is just my opinion and you should be using what you think is the most fun and cool !
@Valentin Gaming Athlete ofc ofc lol, you just helped me remember a hole in my knowledge. Foreman is tied for my favorite fighter of all time. And the number one guy I would never want to get hit by
Another Valentin banger 💯. Great work as always bro ur the best elden ring pvp content creator. Edits are amazing
Thanks a lot this is a super sweet comment ! I am just copying the blueprint of PVP skillz. Thanks again for your super support :)
Would the wakizashi be considered a special mention since it can be used like a katana when paired with one?
Yeah I should have included it into it
You really make the best weapon reviews out there man.
Thanks a lot Calvin. Chrightt is also making very good weapon review but he is a little less entertaining.
Such a great series. I am personally not into PvP, but this tier list is also great for PvE. Will be waiting for the next video.
I am glad it can also serve my pve brother. Have a great day
What’s pve ?
@@CristianMartinez-pi4coplayer vs environment, basically just Elden ring without duels/versing other real players
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.
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
I hope to see colossal swords next.
Yep I am working on it as we speak :)
Just wanted to give you praise for the intro! Elegant editing and hyped up the katanas fairly well!
Thank u very much snoms for the kind words
I wish they add a odachi in the dlc. Basically Sir Alonne's sword. Would be awesome if it had a unique moveset too
What is odachi ?
@@ValentinParkourGaming ō-dachi is basically a very long katana
Both the dragonkin weapons need passive frost build up and or lightning damage
Yeah Dragon Halberd with the confirm combo on spinning slash is now really good. But dragonscale blade is still pretty trash tbh
What is the ranking based on? Dmg? looks? move set? maybe something else?
Maybe watch the video
@@p1omar I watched, now answer the question
On their PVP viableness, thanks for watching the video :)
@Valentin Gaming Athlete ok that makes sense now because pve wise this tierlist and greatsword tierlist were just rly wrong
Yes it is not a PVE tier List
That has gotta be one of the best intros I've seen 🤯
( edit ) and montage
Thank u so much for the kind words !
Great video! I like the Moonveil better than the Nagakiba. That ash of war is just ridiculously good at deleting opponents. And the fact that it pisses people off so much is a huge bonus, lol.
Lmao, yes pissing people off is always a win ^^, thanks for watching the video and commenting :)
@@ValentinParkourGaming It really is, lol.
why u wanna be toxic?
Nagakiba>moonveil
@@bbyponk I don’t know, mate, seems like the people getting mad at a weapon in a video game being used are the toxic ones. Laughing at their toxicity seems like a pretty good way to deal with it.
Nicely edited video!
Love katanas , definitely my fav weapon class. Nagakiba is the GOAT!!
I am happy that you enjoyed it ! thanks for your comment Schnitzel
Finally, someone else who agrees that Malenia completely lost to Radahn and only got out alive because she nuked all of Caelid.
That aside, I still think my favorite katana is either the Nagakiba or Serpentbone. Powerstancing is fun with them.
Of course ! I don’t understand how can people think it was a draw
@@ValentinParkourGaming Bro, he literally diced her prosthetics like warm butter, I swear if Malenia didn't use her big flower hacks to nuke an entire country, Radahn wouldn't have been cursed with Giga Aids for the rest of his life, lmao
And he beat her @ss while protecting his horse and while holding the f$king stars !
@@ValentinParkourGaming dont forget that after her last pathetic attempt at winning failed , she fainted and was left to die covered with wounds in a pool of her blood and rot , radahn pretty much left out of pity , if not for finlay saving her she wouldve died the most embarrassing death , whenever i mention any of this on a related video to the subject i get bombarded by weebs crying.
@@ValentinParkourGaming It probably has something to do with the game outright saying as much and the fact that before she ever used the rot she impaled him to the ground like a butterfly. Radahn is the only demigod who has lost to every demigod he's fought (he got his cheeks clapped by Morgott) besides Godrick. Kinda sad ngl.
from the intro dialogue to the epic intro-intro video/voiceover to the actual content. this is a quality video. in 2024 you see so much garbage, you really have to appreciate people putting in effort. dude ur good at what you're doing. well done.
Thank u so much man it means a lot. I have got inspired and pretty much copied the style of an old school youtube called PvPSkillz. Since he stopped making content since dark souls 3 I have decided to keep is work
@@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 !
Love the commentary and usage of historic lore in this video 👍🏻
Thanks a lot I try to mix lore with gameplay ! Thank u for your comment !
@ValentinParkourGaming No problem! Glad I found your channel

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
I love your passion! Thanks for the great video.
Thanks to you Evan for watching it :)
Fun fact about the serpent weapons' poison, (the katana, fists, shield), can be strong poison. The game doesn't tell you, but the poison can be more aggressive than standard poison, like an in-between of regular poison and scarlett rot. (Side note: the fists with bleed, paired with a rot weapon is a good snowballing combination)
Yep it is “deadly” poison, thanks for pointing it out you’re awesome
Great video pal, subscribed
Great work man
Thanks ❤
Keep going 🔥
Thanks a lot for your comment buddy ! It means a lot, I am glad you enjoyed the video

How to quickly switch between weapons and props in the inventory bar?
Switch while running 4:08~4:38
It is called Hard Swapping
You can watch this video from Jeenine where he explains how to do it !
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
Aha I am happy that you found some use to the list for your playthrough
This list os also more geared towards pvp
Another great video and another banger of an intro
Thank u ! I just used the same intro blueprint as for the greatsword video
Congrats man, you have the best tier list, it's very well edited and great info.
Thank u very much for watching it :)
Yoooo amazing video. Quick question, where can I find that Nier automata song that is on the backgroung when you're talking about rivers of blood at 5:00?
Thanks Victor
It s here : th-cam.com/video/XYPv2FelMNE/w-d-xo.html the best version of Kaine
@@ValentinParkourGaming Thank you so much!
You're super welcome, have a great day
Might be popular opinion but I just fucking love the Rivers of Blood so much. The Ash of War on it is so cool, and even still the weapon just looks sick in general.
Yep it is a super cool weapon, especially if you are a weeb like me !
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.
...\
Ah so what u would say are the S tier Katana in pve ? Nagakiba and Moonveil ? What about River of Blood ?
@@ValentinParkourGaming The Nagakiba is S tier for pve with incantations to fit the occasion. Moonveil also fits the bill but its shorter length makes the difference for me. I like Moonveil for dealing mobs/hoards that risk overwhelming me, the AOW cuts a nice path. Rivers of Blood just isn't the sword it used to be so A tier. Bloodflame on the Nagakiba does more damage I think.
your videos are awesome, keep it up!
Thank you so much for watching them
The uchi is like a blank slate, like a canvas, you can do whatever you want with it and it will work
Damn, you make Some pretty well editited and high quality video’s for your sub count. Hope you wil get bigger dude, keep it up. And also, is this Gonna be a series
Thanks Dr Hobber. I don't really care too too much about the sub count, I am more happy that people enjoy my work
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!
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.
This ranking is based on pvp not pve
this was an awesome video! i completely agree with your tier list
Thanks for watching it Gondor :)
I agree with every single one of these points but I haven't tried the serpentine blade yet and it looks cool!
It is cool, just not very good
Nagakiba primary and Rivers of Blood in off hand is my go to. Sometimes I use hand of malenia for nagakiba
Good combo
See alot of people fail to realize that with rivers of blood the weapon itself didn’t really get a nerf, it was primarily just it’s ash of war. ROB is definitely one the hardest hitting light weapons in the game, I’ve gotten mine to do close to about 800 AR with NO buffs at all, so if you just powerstance two of them and only use the ash of war to roll catch or surprise attack someone it’s arguably one the better weapons and one of the best katanas in the game
Yep it is amazing really but people read nerf and just never use it. So stupid
great video, props!
Thank u so much Balck Fox it means a lot :)
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.
She release the rot because she sucks balls and Radahn was whooping her “@ss while protecting his horse and hpreventing the stars from moving
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
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
A very entertaining video, great job :)
Thanks a lot for watching it and commenting Cydran :)
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 was able to get early game souls farming in Caelid because of it, so I was eventually able to completely melt Godrick’s health. 🔥
Keep up the good work got this game because of you
OOoh thank u so much Rainbow Dash ! I hope you have fun

People: Do Yura's world quest to get Nagakiba
Me who got it by just killing him: 🙂
Yeah u can just kill him I guess ^^
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.
ur Japanese pronunciation is on spot 💯 it makes me appreciate the video and got hooked into it!
a lot of ppl dont really pronounce Japanese names / words properly so thank you!
ty for the guide aswell 👏

Thanks for watching Sobhi ! You’re awesome
Haha "Some call their mamma|" I love it! :) Great video , thank you
Hey thanks for watching I am glad u had a good time
I was already using both of those S tier katanas before I watched the video. Love them both
Hopefully they drop another katana with destined death on it in the dlc
That would be awesome. Honestly I want any special faith katana really.
@@darkr3ma1n59 unfortunately it didnt happen :(
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!
Yeah if you like it then use it, you should use what u think is fun, not I think is good
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
Exactly solo is the best way to play imo. ! Thanks for your message and watching the video !
Yes you are right. Moonveil and nagakiba are the best. Just got my second moonveil so i am dual vielding those because i have int at 80 and i am using sorcery also.
Yep I love moonveil personally
Oh man this tier list was nostalgic, reminds me of the old dark souls 3 weapon comparison bu pvpskills
Yep I am pretty much copying his all style ! I am surprise no one else thought about it
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.
i find it interesting caelid holds a lot of eastern weapons, the naginata, wakizashi, meteoric ore blade and the moonveil
Now that u mention it, it is very true
Caelid is in the east in lands between - solved
Great video, I duel wield uchi katsna with rivers of blood and it works well for me
Yep I love it too
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!
Yep u gotta u use what u love the most no matter the ranking
Our favorite.
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.
You can also just use moonveil for fun
The nagakiba is a pretty good weapon all around, and so is one of the best weapons in the game. It has very good reach, intrinsic bleed, decent AR, gets access to running R2 poke, gets the fast version of ashes like spinning slash, does very quick attacks when powerstanced. Like if you need a weapon for something, chances are the nagakiba can fulfill that role pretty decently.
I haven't done much pvp at all, but using a dex setup with duel nagakiba, I had a 30 win streak in the colosseum duels.
I also found decent success in using a soft swap hoslow petal whip with hoarfrost stomp, since it would add more range and methods to pressure and deal damage if opponents were playing too passively.
Very good strategy ! thanks for your comment Prashant !
I love the Nagakib because... Sephiroth!!!
Yep it is definitely the Masamune !
Amazing video my friend, you deserve so much public, your work is real pro. 😊⚔️🛡️
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 :)
@@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 😊
We have GOT to get a pole-arm/spear/halberd tier list in the future
I am working on colossal, probably spear will be 2nd !
I enjoyed your every review i had fun watching evere videos.
Thank u so much for your sweet words, it really means a lot that you’re taking time out of your day to watch my work. Thank u :)
So i tried and tested the serpentbone blade, and it's true this weapon made no sense ; you level it up with normal smithing stone, but you can't change the art of war, nor grease it and it has no bleed.
Even in the poison department it's a lot easier to inflict bleed AND poison with other weapon.
But : this weapon has a lot of reach when you fully charge your heavy attack, it can surpise the opponent.
The heavy double slash is pretty difficult to dodge in PvP.
The lethal poison has a loop of 30 seconds before vanishing instead of the normal poison which last 90 seconds, it creates the perfect loop with some talisman (the one which gives a boost of 20% damage when poison is applied) and the bonus given by the mushroom crown.
It's heavy attack is enough to trigger the effect of multi-hit talisman (sword insignia etc)
It's charged heavy is the most damaging one when the two hit combo connect.
Clearly not a bad weapon, despite being so strange on paper, i have learned to love it.
Yeah but it coupe have been soooo much better man. Imagine it also had bleed and u could change the ash of war ? Or they would have giving it a unique ash of war !
@@ValentinParkourGaming
The weapon just need somber smithing stones and an art of war with a lot of mobility, or something that can proc a lot of damage on poisened targets, while removing the poison.
This way you coul use the AoW in order to inflict big damage if you saw the opportunity...
At least the design is cool
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.
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.
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.
Yeah it looks so cool
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
Yeah you will have a lot of fun !
I really think you were off on the Dragonscale Blade one. It doesn't have exceptional damage before you use its AoW, but after you do it procs frostbite really quickly, not to mention that I find its damage output after using its AoW to be one of the highest of the katanas. The lightning bolt itself kind of sucks, but it does some nice chip damage if you're reapplying the lightning and you're near the enemy. Dual wielding Dragonscale and a Bleed Nagakiba is a great way to fight Malenia.
Honestly I hope we get more Dragon weapons because the two we have I like a lot
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.
Yep it is always a special bond that is created with the wepaon you beat the game wiht, for me it was bloodhound fang
@@ValentinParkourGaming I haven't beat the game on the save yet because I did the attributes terribly but it carried me through the whole game.
Ooo, maybe after this you can do some lore inspired builds, and make it funny, flex those editing muscles, with a good script
Yep I have done a lot of build before that, look at my older videos, especially my poison one
I see you are a man of culture as well. I also cosplay as Vergil in Elden Ring with the Moonveil in hand
Ah no I dont do that ^^
