Elden Ring: Moonveil Katana Build Guide
Elden Ring stands out from many modern RPGs for its utter embrace of player freedom. Its open world is dense, vast, and unexplained, which gives players a real sense of adventure and progression as they learn the language of the game. One aspect of player freedom Elden Ring excels at is build variety.
Elden Ring: Rotten Breath Location (Scarlet Rot Incantation)
FromSoftware has always had a penchant for variety, with each of their games (except Sekiro) offering players a plethora of viable and completely unique playstyles to choose from. In Elden Ring, no Intelligence/Dexterity hybrid is complete without the Moonveil Katana, arguably the best Int-based weapon in Elden Ring.
The Moonveil Katana scales primarily with Dexterity and Intelligence and rewards a playstyle that mixes close-quarters swordplay with midrange spellcasting. The Ash of War that comes with Mooveil is Transient Moonlight, which lets players launch a powerful (and cheap) magic arc that scales with the weapon's upgrade level. Equipping Moonveil requires at least 18 Dexterity, 12 Strength, and 23 Intelligence, which isn't a lot considering the high-tier scaling and skill that comes with it.
Having high Vigor is essential to surviving in Elden Ring, so be sure to regularly put a point or two into this stat as you level up. Having a high Mind stat lets you use Moonveil's Ash of War more before running out of FP, and a 30 in Dex and 40 in Int takes advantage of the weapon's scaling effectively. Investing in Arcane is essential for this build as it increases your ability to deal Bleed buildup. Moonveil has a relatively low 50 Bleed damage with each hit, but this can be improved greatly with just a sprinkle of Arcane.
