Great Katana Poison Upgrades
Requires regular reinforcement with Smithing Stone [1], Smithing Stone [2], Smithing Stone [3], Smithing Stone [4], Smithing Stone [5], Smithing Stone [6], Smithing Stone [7], Smithing Stone [8], and Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone, as well as Poison Affinity Ashes of War.
Elden Ring display values for poison and blood include buildup added by scaling via the Arcane Stat. The values on this table reflect the default values only. Your own Arcane Scaling will alter the number while inside the game. If you don't meet the arcane requirements for an arcane-scaling passive then buildup will show as 60% of the base values.
This upgrade cannot be enchanted with Magic or boosted with Consumables.

Another weapon that will exclusively used by laggy tryhards stacking poise. The moveset encourages the most cancerous playstyle of running away and spamming poke attacks or waiting for people to roll into you so you can spam r1s. Huge disappointment.

It is rumored that a great shinobi once wielded this weapon
Great weapon, but basic ash is bit on weaker side imo.
Luckily you can change it to classics like piercing fang, or my favorite wild strikes.
Biggest drawback of great katana is complete lack of hyperarmor on its moveset paired with speed of Greatsword/colossal sword. But all other aspects are actually awesome, fun poke slash moveset, feint, legendary poke running r1...
I added wild strikes to it, it compliments it's nice range and covers the lack of hyperarmor, while also increasing stance damage by its finishers, making it great well rounded weapon for literally any situation.

Basically any move chaining into the R1 poke--Jumping R1/R2 to R1, running R1/R2 to R1, rolling R1/R2 to R1. Very satisfying.

Let me guess: Overhead Stance can't be found as a standalone AoW item in the world, meaning you can't change this thing's affinity while still using Overhead Stance?

I think this is bugged I’m bleeding people to death with only hitting them with one piercing fang aow and a regular attack and it kills em. Arc dex build btw.

Finally a good two hander for arcane faith build that doesn't look like something out of the scrapyard, still does less damage than omen great cleaver, but since it works with so many ashes of war it is just great , and having it in one hand while casting 2 or 4 spells of your choice in the other looks really cool, since the attack pattern when one handing looks and feels great, basically it kills the purpose to ever use flamberge again lol

Double slash on this is a great way to make up for the R1 pokes and slow R2’s in group encounters — and if it staggers an enemy for long enough, the full combo will usually proc bleed.

Talismans best to use are TWO-HEADED TURTLE TALISMAN / GREEN TURTLE TALISMAN, GODFREY ICON ,WARRIOR JAR SHARD / SHARD OF ALEXANDER, RED-FEATHERED BRANCHSWORD, RITUAL SWORD TALISMAN, LORD OF BLOOD'S EXULTATION.
Next are if you are dragon use BLUE DANCER CHARM.
And if you use less Skill of sword TWO-HANDED SWORD TALISMAN.
i Hope anyone can make some cool staff and show broken staff xD

This is pretty much the Bloodhound Fang replacement. Bleed, similar numbers if you favor dexterity with the upside of any ash of war. You only need to get used to the moveset. If you favor dex, you can at any point switch to one of the other two great katanas if they're upgraded which also have innate bleed and some great ashes of war. All in all I quite like this weapon category and I'll be switching to it for the remainder of the game. I need to do Bayle anyway.

Have no problem using it on strength builds. Heavy affinity (80 str) outdamages keen (24 str/80 dex) when two-handed, but AoW is slightly weaker. Keen affinity generally sucks in this game

I like off hand great katana in PvP. Very easy rollcatches and okay dmg with good range.
I like to use it with the guardian‘s swordspear. Strong combo imo.
I’m very bad with mainhand great katana. So that’s why I use it in offhand.

Its the Best Great Katana bc You can Infuse It and Put Ash of Wars on it But the Other Great Katanas Have the More Badass Design tho
- Anonymous
i gotta say; this doesn't do much for a strength build imo.... tried to make it work for many hours and either i'm doing something wrong, or its just not that good. i upgraded it to +25 and gave it heavy affinity (lol it doesn't even get an A scaling which is mega disappointing)... tried all sorts of talisman and ash of war combinations and it just seems underwhelming.. i tried stacking shard of alexander + rellana's cameo since it supposedly increases damage by 30%, millicen'ts prostesis and topped it with flame grant me strength and even bloodflame blade and the damage just keeps being super underwhelming... the biggest problem is that i keep getting knocked out of the stance even with 101 poise... the stance could at the very least function as a guard stance to alleviate this problem.. i'm just gonna go back to my trusty banished knight's greatsword until this gets a buff or some better strength scaling because honestly, its just not that good.

The weapon itself is 10/10 by its design
However the ****ing sheath that goes inside floor and you only can see the end while sprinting is beyond infuriating.

Fun Fact: Great Katanas have R2 cancel attacks just like Rapiers and Curved swords if you click backstep as you're charging a heavy attack. It's a retreating attack that kind of looks like Monster Hunter Longsword fade slash. Although it's very short in range and quite slow, it looks samurai as hell

I don't know if it's intentional, but it activates the Crimson and Cerulean daggers twice on small enemies caught from behind or broken positions, such as colossal weapons. It is a show! I hope they keep it and don't fix it, but I think it's intentional. I invite whoever manages the pages to add it, thanks.

Overhead stance looks cool but is a little underwhelming as an AoW in practice. That being said the great katanas have a fantastic moveset, both 1 handed and 2 handed, and function well in a variety of situations.
I've been having the most success tackling the DLC with Piercing Fang equipped to it; flows very nicely into the moveset and compliments the stagger/reach quite well.
That being said I'm sure the other trademark solid AoWs will feel good with it; Double Slash, Sword Dance, Impaling Thrust, Spinning Slash, Lion's Claw etc.

It's funny, I'm glad they put the sheath on your back, because the super long sheath of the Nagakiba looks ridiculous. However, the sword and sheath are still so ****ing long that they clip into the ground constantly even on your back.

Didn't like the moveset at first. Second hit of two-handing is a very high thrust that will miss small enemies consistently, and isn't any good against mobs. It does have good range though and is great against singe targets and stronger enemies. The one-handed moveset however is great against mobs and smaller enemies as the first two hits are broad horizontal swings that track fairly well.
I'm really enjoying this, can't wait to find more great katanas.
Also feels a bit like an homage to Monster Hunter Longsword.

Light attack combo has the same moveset as regular longsword attacks in the monster hunter series. I love it.

Cold Infused Int build is a lot of fun. Would probably be even better as a Hybrid Dex/Int build.

You can cancel charged heavy (works for both one or two handed grip) with dodge button to release the swing and take half a step backwards instead of taking a full step forward.

What's a good Ash of War to use with this? I like the one it has, but I want better scaling.

MH Fans will feel right at home with this one. It's kinda astounding how similar in feel/rhythm/moveset this weapon class is to the MH Longsword. Almost feels like Fromsoft is paying homage to the other giant action rpg series.

You heard of Ichimonji: Double? Now here's Ichimonji: Triple!

A pretty cool thing with this sword is how if you press roll while charging up the heavy attack your character will modify the heavy attack to a low sweep last second and step backwards while swinging. I cannot remember any other weapon that does this?

Kind hate the moveset, the stab is always missing small target, but the damage and speed is nice

Great Katanas have a fade slash style attack if you input backstep while charging a strong attack, similar to curved swords. It doesn't really move you back very far though. Not sure how useful it is, but cool to see this mechanic applied to other weapons.

Any consensus on max possible AR with this thing?
Based on comments it looks like Pure STR or STR/ARC but I'd love to know its potential.

As a strength user who used Greatsword, this weapon helped a lot against the Divine Dancing Beast Lion, esp for lightning phase, despite me using the same build I did for my greatsword.

Honestly great quality weapon, has B on both strength and dex at +25 quality.
Which is especially good considering that at +25 heavy it only has B strength, and at +25 keen it only has B dex.

Great Katanas have the crouch poke move similar to colossal swords.

Feels like a heavy Nagakiba. AoW Piercing Fang deals 20% more Damage and more Stance Damage. AoW Unsheate not possible.
Overhead Stance Light are 1 and Heavy 3 fast Overhead Slashes with a Forward move. The Slashes can Trigger Guard Counter. The Damage is bad against heavy Knights, only 2/3 compared to Piercing Fang because Split Damage in 3 Hits. Against small Soldiers the 3 Hits are identical to 1 Piercing Fang.
The AoW can Trigger Millicent and Crystal Tear for successive attacks.

comparing it to my flamberge the moveset is soo much better, but it is slightly slower. still prolly the best like occult greatsword you can get now, especially since it's slash/pierce. I Just carry some occult spiked caestus as my backup strike weapon and am set now

This almost feels criminal: the damage of a colossal sword with that moveset AND bleed? It's beautiful...

I was stuck on the first boss for like an hour using my nagakiba, upgraded this and first tried the mf. Definitely recommend this for dex builds or dex hybrid builds

I'm worried I might jinx myself saying this, but since I normally use a heavy-infused Uchigatana as either my primary or secondary weapon, I'm hoping this one takes to heavy infusion just as well. I've just got the worry that I'm going to have to switch over to a Dex build in order to use this one and that I'll lose the passive damage resistance that comes from highish strength, but oh well; at least there'll be a katana-shaped lining to this silver cloud, or however that goes. :\

Found in the big lake which is visible on the map after finding your first map marker. A ghostflame dragon is nearby but not necessary to kill in order to obtain the weapon.

Available in the starting area of the DLC, no bosses required, on the ground.

I hope this takes the quality infusion better than other weapons

Will Nagakiba get replaced into Great Katana's page? Or will it always stay in the normal katana page?

I keep seeing people using quality on this weapon in the comments but from my testing its best on a heavy build with 66 str if youre 2-handing and on a pure dex build if youre 1-handing
