The only thing that really botheres me with this weapon is the overswing in the ground of the R2, followed by a hastelly adjustment to stop the movement at hip height. THAT IS NOT HOW YOU DO THAT. YOU STOP AT THE HIP. NO OVERSWING!

great weapon for int builds willing to level STR, or STR and DEX.
doesn't scale that well with INT though.
The ichimonji R2 is incredibly fun and while gravitas isn't the best skill it can be quite useful
i wouldn't recommend for anyone who doesn't intend to level STR however.

That r2 is really good but gravitas sucks. this could have been a git good weapon.

Excellent early game weapon for Strength / Intelligence build hybrids. This weapon can be acquire very easily and early once you have Torrent (no bosses gatekeeping it). Ore Blade has very high based damage and a decent AoW that is useful for hitting multi-weak mobs and knocking flying enemies out of the air. The charged R2 is almost a second AoW that deals massive damage, has good tracking, and deals high posture damage. The biggest downsides of the ore blade is how it's outclassed by Moonveil and other katanas with better AoW. The ore blade is also the shortest Katata. Overall, this weapon is a solid choice to hold you over until you can get other STR/INT weapons such as the Ruins Greatsword, Starsscourge greatsword, or the FallingStar Beast Jaw.

Is this OP af or what? I upgraded it to +5 to try it out and it's slashing through enemies faster than my dual Falchions +13. Maybe enemies in Caelid are weak to magic, idk.

why its lower stability on +10 ? from 35 on +9 to 33 on +10 ?
whats a point?

Kinda wish it had the Waves of Darkness Ash of War instead of Gravitas. Since this is primarily a strength weapon, I think it would fit, even if it shouldn't be allowed to go on that Weapon Class. It would also make this katana feel even more unique.

Not bad but ROB and Moonveil are much better, heavy attack is nice and breaks posture easy for critical but untill you do all that with ROB or Moonveil enemies would be dead long time ago. Maybe is good as a backup weapon if your main is some heavy or collosal.

Most def the best sword I have encountered so far in the game. Im a level 120 Astrologer, questing in the Mountain Tops of the Giants, and use Meteoric Staff in left hand and Meteoric Blade +10 in right. I would not endure without it..

It's a stretch, but I wonder if GRRM suggested adding such a weapon as this as an homage to fellow fantasy writer Terry Pratchett, who, upon being knighted, learned to smith and used iron from a meteorite to forge a sword for himself

Hi guys. I run this weapon in mainhand (+9), and I'm arround lvl 80. I might be using i wrong (use it with a brass sheild +18), but i think my dmg output isn't as good as people say in the other comments. Do you have any idea how i can buff it? With some incantations or something? Is it better to 2-hand wieid it?
Have a good one!

This has been my main weapon for about the last 30 hours or so and it shreds. Transient Moonlight is still a better WA, but in every other category I prefer this. Plus, it's R2 is literally the Ichimonji skill from Sekiro. Idk if that's an intended callback or not.

This weapon gets overshadowed severely by the Rivers of Blood and Moonveil. With a 45/45/24 in Str/Dex/Int on a 160 lvl build combined with the Axe Talisman and the Spiked Cracked Tear in a physic this things heavy attack hits like a truck with some decent range to boot. Roll catches after hitting the ashe of war quite often as well for massive chunks of health. This weapon definetly does not get the love and recognition it deserves.

I wish this weapon would have Frost instead of Blood. I wish in general that not every Katana has innate Blood except 1
and if someone says something about : " Well duh Katanas are sharp thats why" ... than like 80% of all weapons in this game should have blood.
This one is actually really good. You can use gravitas and follow up with a charged R2 for some meaty rollcatch damage. Of course nobody ever uses it because if they want an INT katana they go Moonveil (like a scrub) but that just makes the combo even less anticipated.
- Anonymous
On release: Meh, non-unique ash-of-war and STR scaling?? yucky!
Now: Holy sh-t. Unique R2 that's designed to combo uniquely with the ash-of-war, and STR scaling that works well while 2h needing only 53 STR / 20 INT to reach 90%+ of it's AR range giving you a ton of spare points to put in Vig / Endurance or even a few in Fth for buffs. Now THIS is gigachad

Looking solely at my PvP experience, I'd argue that this weapon outperforms Moonveil by a significant margin just due to the fact that most people ignore it.
Moonveil is a caster's wet dream. High scaling, powerful WA, braindeath required for use. Not that hard to use, but by now everyone and their mother knows the timings to avoid, counter, or parry it. It scales off of two of the preferred stats for magic; damage and speed. It's a weapon that has gained memetic status as a choice melee tool for casters just due to how absolutely simple it is to use, yet effective for that simplicity. But as mentioned, this means that everyone and their mother knows how to counter it.
Meanwhile this thing just fricken' slaps. The WA may seem weak or unimpressive, but it catches rolls like a fat man in a bakery and then drags 'em in close for the absolute most chad R2 in the game, a basic (but absolutely damaging and poise smashing) helm splitter. Nobody is joking when they say that thing is practically a WA in and of itself. With the abilities this katana has, and it's relative obscurity to most of the casual community, this thing functions as one hell of a weapon to use against invaders or duelists because, simply put, nobody is prepared for it.
Overall, I'm running a magic swordsman build that uses both (with this as the primary hand and the Moonveil as offhand), but this weapon in particular comes out when invaders come knocking. Wanna run? Better ask the Meteoric Ore Blade if you're allowed.

I might be wrong because I didn't actually test it, but this weapon's fully charged attacks seem to deal such tremendous Stance/Posture damage, that at this point it feels like it has the same impact of a fully charged Colossal Weapon.
I staggered the Magma Wyrm like it was nothing, multiple times. It might need more testing, but against enemies you can't normally stagger with regular attacks, it is a beast.
Tl;dr: this Katana does very big Bonk, extremely powerful against Bosses

Very good katana for those that prefer consistency while not completely relying on weapons skill/ashes of war especially for pve: beside being magic/physical damage katana with bleed, the strong attacks on it is literally ichimongi double from Sekiro (which was a weapon art there btw) , mind you it wasn't nefred in transition in the slightest still staggering even the tankiest enemies while dealing quite a lot of posture and regular damage while satill being quite fast, add to it gravitas AoE skill which was recently buffed into quiet a scary skill and you get a weapon that can be used almost in any situation...
Isn't that bad in pvp either.

watchdog looking helm (one of the gargoyle masks) + spam this weapons R2
AoW is kinda underwhelmed. Unlike most unique weapons come with unique AoW (or a special variation of it like Moonveil), the AoW is lit. just Gravitas.
Should've give it something similar to Starcaller Cry.

This weapon is very underrated as it is occulted by it’s DEX scaling cousin, but it is still a viable weapon if used well. It’s damage is pretty decent but it can really shine when powerstanced with itself.
The R2 is capable of deleting poise when fully charged and it will hit like a colossal weapon at the same time.
Many of the comments say that it’s weapon art is crappy, but I disagree. The move gains quite a bit of poise and the initial stab into the ground is capable of doing damage. The actual AoE is good for applying pressure and is godly at roll catching a downed opponent.
Overall I’d rate this weapon a 8.5/10 for PvP. It’s very good, but isn’t on the same level as weapons like Moonveil or RoB.

Using this on a 54 str 33 int build with 60 vigor and 30 endurance at lvl 150 with 730ar. It wrecks for such a fast weapon, the jump attacks poise break as often as when I was using a maxed out brick hammer, and the charged r2's are even better.

This is it boys. The dark sword of Elden ring. A heavy weapon in lore, look and damage ? This IS the dark sword of elden ring. Soon as I've stopped giving Fs and using any tactics I can to win, this has become one of my fav weapons. It does as much damage, if not more, as an iron greatsword AND is faster. To top it all off, the R2 is an ichimonji slash with ALOT of stagger damage. A perfect weapon to punish OP enemies and cheezy pvp players, I see no reason to not use it. This weapon's the embodiment of the saying "alright. Time for me to go full power" I like using my broadsword but when you see me pull this out oh you bet things are about to get real

This works pretty well on a pure strenght build! I'm using it with the required int and dex and 48 strenght at lvl 70, I managed to reach Mountain top of giants with this bad boy with no struggle while cosplaying as Isshin. This pretty is much the Katana for STR users and its charged R2 does insane poise damage, similar or close to a Zweihander.
Not as flashy or damaging like RoB or Moonveil but it satisfies your unga bunga needs.

This one is the best katana in the game, except the AoW sucks. If you could change it, it would be all I'd ever use. Has the best dmg escaling, decent range and the coolest heavy attack (not to mention that when fully charged it gains a lot of range so hard to escape it).

Y'all realize that the ore blade's a pocket GS in lore AND gameplay right ? Bruh y'all in the souls community are weird at times
