Summary

Obtained Great Katana from a corpse near a sleeping dragon, then upgraded it to level 24 with purchasable smithing stones. Testing favors fire affinity plus Royal Knight’s Resolve and buffs, producing roughly 6,000– 8,000 damage; other affinities and Ashes provide alternatives. He demonstrates reach, staggering, one-shot potential, and poise-friendly attacks; it becomes his favorite, with dual-wielding planned for NG+.

Insight

His enthusiasm temporarily reverses the recent tedium: experimentation produces visible mastery and renewed excitement.
