Elden Ring Great Katana Build - How to Build a SAMURAI KNIGHT Guide (Shadow of the Erdtree Build)

The Great Katana comes from a sleeping dragon’s nearby corpse and accepts almost any Ash of War, making it versatile. He recommends blood or Lion’s Claw builds, knightly armor, two-handing, 18 Dexterity, and talismans for skills, jumping, or full-health damage. At rank 2, it staggers easily but loses badly to his rank-25 greatsword; frustration with farming sends him to Mourn Tunnel.

Build experimentation is overshadowed by his recurring view of Elden Ring as tedious labor.
