Is it worth it to invest into arcane with this for blood loss, or is it better to just go pure dex?

Submit

Ngl I wish the swing trails for normal attacks were all black like they are on the weapon art, that'd be fcking metal

Submit

Who turned on light mode?

Submit

Woooo!

The owner of this site made a white background, so I can see the blade, finally!!!

Submit

the text for the void knight build video says, shaodw instead of shadow

Submit

I'm glad this katana didn't live up to inherit the reputation of Skillveil and Rivers of Mash. At least I don't see people complaining about it like they do about other katanas anywhere

Submit

try vigor checking with the true combo, it deals around 3k dmg with the right buffs and 99 dex

Submit

The image should have a white background so we could actually see it

Submit

heres what you can call your katana

Void Blade, Edger, Edge Blade, Frayed Blade, Dark Drift, Vanta Blade, Vantablack Blade, Nightana, Verginator, Weebing Hour Blade, Anime Blade, Black Blade, Temu Hand of Melania, Wall’s Bane, Shield Breakanator, No Flame, Sword of Flame, Brrr Blade, Sigma Sword, 2D Woman Blade and Katanight With 0 Zero Flame.

Submit

the only thing that could make this better is an animation change (and faster charge)

Submit

if you dont want to main this because it isnt good here a couple reasons why you should!

1: Offhand the claws of night. The claws of night are one of the most broken weapons it also scales with pure dex and if you have this sword you almost certainly have the claws, AND the claws are medium ranged crazy AR and insane dps

2: It can make you better at the game! If you dont care about that, use it with a mimic tear but getting better is very important, it may not be fun dying a bunch but it’s really fun when you get good!

3: It gets better. Okay so first of all, it has a true combo which can be used against humanoid enemies its unblockable so against knights it broken, the true combo can be used in pvp so if you’re around level 125-150 you can BULLY people. Second of all it’s a katana, which has bleed, hits really fast and is chargeable meaning with a multi hit bleed build it can actually go from “meh” to “actually not bad!”

TL;DR edgelord, cool, use it.

Submit

Idk why but I can't hel[ but thinking that this should also have innate frost build up

Submit

Is it supposed to one shot 60 vigor in pvp? Or is that something all these dlc weapons are supposed to do :( gotta use it at just +5 to have a duel longer than 30 seconds

Submit

That true combo has to be unintentional, right?

Submit

That true combo has to be unintentional, right?

Submit

Magic AR is too low, even with 85 DEX (80 + millicent's prosthesis) it barely reaches 169, which makes it quite bad for higher NGs as it gets destroyed by defense. Should have a bit higher magic AR in exchange for a bit lower physical AR to solve that.

Submit

beware the man of 1000 faces and if you see him its already over

Submit

I don't care if it's stupid AF to implement, you should only be able to use this sword at night for the giga laughs

Submit

The hoops they make you jump through to get this weapon is ridiculous and it's not even that good.

Right hand: Sword of Night

Left hand: Flame Uchigatana

Player Name: Katanaight and Flame

Is the AoW increased by the Axe Talisman?

Submit

they did my frayed blade dirty..

ahh, edge...,

Submit

Now we need a sword of flame

Submit

Yami Sukehiro's katana

Submit

with a 60 dex 16 str character sword of night has more AR than hand of malenia.
probably the fastest katana concidering the ash of war and its moveset heavy attack moveset

Submit

Close enough welcome back, frayed blade

Submit

Hello!
Would you like to destroy some evil today?

Submit

This is my pick for most fun katana. Really fun comboing between the ash of war and double swipe heavy attack, mixing up charged/uncharged versions based on what you're fighting. Actually a very in-depth weapon if you give it some thought, also looks SICK!!!!!!!!

Submit

I'm both relieved and surprised that this doesn't seem to have caught on and become overused in the way that Moonveil or Rivers did, I guess cause can't can't really spam the L2 against bosses. And the true combo in PvP is slick.

Submit

It should deal bonus damage during nighttime, but it doesn't so it's time to refund the DLC.

Submit

and flame

Submit

I think that the ash of war true comboing into an r2 is pretty unfair

Submit

According to a build planner, the magic portion of damage scales with dex. If that's actually a thing that's quite unique, even if not very consequential

Submit

Can't block with shield against this. Got it. Can I parry Sword of Night normal attacks and AoW? I tried the other day but it was either lag or unparryable

Submit

-scales purely off dex
-split damage with 0 faith/int requirements or scaling
-black katana with aow thst releases alot of slashes

yup welcome back frayed blade

Submit

Edge,
Lord

Submit

Welcome back, Darkdrift

Submit

So basically...

Dark coded sword

Submit

Hehe, Sword goes BRRRRRRR

Submit

Now we need a Sword of Flame

Submit

Haven't had the chance to try this out since the patch yet, but since the R2 got sped up to frame 16 it should theoretically always true combo off of the AoW now. Before it required pretty tight connections to land.

Submit

Now where's the flame?

Submit

There is absolutely nothing and I mean NOTHING wrong with wielding this in full night armor and being an "edge lord". It looks cool, is cool, and that's what matters.

Submit

Me: Oh! A Sword of Night? Must be a good Straight Sword!

In game: Katana. And you won't be able to see the blade, cause it's blended in the black background.

Submit

Right so I really wanna use this but the B scaling at +10 is really putting me off, anyone got a good build for this?

Submit

Me after getting the sword of night from jolan: I won, but at what cost?

Submit

Generic cringe shitstick for weebs, there has to be one in every fromsoft game

Submit

Finally, i can be goth in elden ring too

Submit

Absolute dogshit

Submit

1- Press and hold L2
2- take a deep breath
3- release L2
4- CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWLING IN MY SKIIIIIIIIIIIN, THESE WOUNDS, THEY WILL NOT HEAAAAALLL.

Submit

This was a great way to sober up after my "take-a-shot-every-time-the-loot-is-an-incantation-or-a-weapon-with-faith-scaling" drinking game.

Submit

this is my favorite sword, but when will i get over my emo stage?

The night is a dark time for me...

Whoever put the black background for the pitch black weapon was definitely onto something or on something…

Anyone trying to drop me one? My PSN is nazardolhii

To clarify why this weapon has Dex magic scaling. It has been a long tradition for FromSoft/Souls games to have a fantastical blade associated with the Dark such as the Frayed blade from Dark souls 3. However to give it scaling with magic we need to note that this is new. In Elden Ring dexterity is more similar to arcane where it is the only other attribute to scaling somber weapons with both elemental and physical damage due to being "advanced armaments". In fact dexterity is the only attribute that has both elemental scaling and physical scaling on the same weapon for both infusible weapons and unique weapons. This is assisted by dexterity already being associated with the staff of loss (however not scaling with it) This helps distinguish dexterity from other attributes rather than being a weaker version of strength,

Submit

You are not using the fully charged ash for 80-90% of the time in pve and 90-99% in pvp (You'll realize how much it's ash will let you down as I hit with a cold pot across your goofy face. Every. Single. Time.). The uncharged option does insignificant damage and you won't have your precious multi-hit buff by the time the ash finally executes the attack, this true after the ash as well because it has a painfully long recovery interval. The katana is very short, but I guess those snotty-nose congested, sword "enthusiasts" aren't complaining. All it has going for it is it's AR. Yet, that kind of AR is wasted on a non-buffable and comically short katana with a consistently disappointing ash of war. Stop using this weapon if you want to be respected by any experienced soulsborne pvper.

Submit

Genie let out of the bottle, it is now the witching hour

Submit

close enough, welcome back Frayed Blade

Submit

Does the magic damage scale with DEX, since this weapon has no INT scaling?

Submit

Why does this katana have magic damage but doesn’t scale with INT? I don’t understand; I am confused as f

Submit

Yeah of course all the Night weapons scale with Dex, it's not like they do magic damage or they're used by a mage's servants or the concept of night is heavily linked with magic in this game, yeah you're right Miyazaki Dex builds didn't have nearly enough new weapons, Int builds having a single new weapon to their name in the entire DLC is enough for them

Submit

Close enough to the Dark Sabre.

Submit

I was pleasantly surprised at how balanced and tasteful this was for a weebstick myself, the AoW is super useful and fun without being OP and it's TONS of fun to fight against, something literally all other katanas lack besides the meteoric and ice lightning ones IMO. Of course that pleasant surprise was completely overshadowed by the unpleasant surprise that is Great Katanas, seeing as they make almost all regular Greatswords damn close to obsolete in almost any build. They make the Claymore specifically totally inferior, and any advantages you get from any other Greatsword will always involve giving up superior damage, range, and move set (With the exception of the Knight's/ Banished Knight's/ Inseparable GS, which have a wonderful moveset, and the new Lizard GS, which has a projectile attack and therefore tons of range). Then they went ahead and overshadowed that UNPLEASANT surprise with the absolute travesty that is Backhand Blades. At least Great Katanas ONLY overshadow MOST Great Swords, and they're not even really overpowered in the sense that you can't deal with them, just in the sense that they overshadow so many other weapons. Threy should just give aslight buff to Great Swords instead of Nerfing the Great Katanas. Backhand blades, on the other hand, overshadow ALL daggers, Straightswords, Curvedswords, Axes, Hammers, Thrusting Swords in most cases, Katanas in most cases, Claws (except Claws of Night which are in their own league for being completely broken headshot machines STILL after THREE PATCHES), Fists (Except the Pata which, also pretty dang broken) and Twinblades. I probably missed some too.
But still as I mentioned in parentheses above, bad as Backhand Blades are, don't even frickin get me started on the actually overpowered as all SH*T counterpart to the Sword of Night, the Claws of Night. I have countered Backhand blades successfully a hundred times at this point, mostly due to people who use them in PvP being braindead, but regardless of Brain-deadness I've never beaten anyone who just spams the Claws of Knight skill at long range. They stagger you out of freaking ENDURE ffs. Maybe a shield would work actually just thought of that

CRAAAAAWLING IIIIIIIIIN MY SKIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIN

Heh.. nothing personnel kid

You are here for edge lord joke

I’m here because it reminds of Yuria and Midir

We are not the same

Submit

Cool. Another OP katana used by edgelords

Submit

I love my frayed blade

Submit

edge,
lord

Submit

the blade icon is so dark i genuinely forget if i have it slotted or not whenever i two hand another weapon

Submit

The blade is so dark...

It completely camouflages on the background of this site!

If only I could do it in the game too...

Submit

The weird black smoke/fire effect should be slightly stronger, kinda like it is when you activate the weapon art. As it currently is, the outline of the blade is too defined and it just looks like a regular sword coated in ink.
It looks amazing on the item picture, sadly the 3d model doesn't live up to it.

Submit

The black mortal blade...

Submit

This is it. This is the shadow of the erdtree.

Submit

The weapon skill is kinda similar to one of the lady marias attacks

Submit

Nightblood?!?

Submit

Dual wielding this weapon is absolutely disgusting in pvp. If you get proficient enough with the AoW roll catch and get the follow up light attack you can roll catch off of THAT too if you're good enough at timing. Absolutely filthy.

Submit

Not sure how, but someone was able to 1-shot me from full health (60 vigor + Erdtree's Favor +2) by hitting me once out of hitstun then doing some combo that stunlocked me to death.

Submit

Very easy to counter cuz even if it can combo lock you, the timing is right enough to back step or Poke spam them night sworders to death

Submit

emo hand of Malenia:

Submit

With this, Ashina's long night comes to an end.

Submit

So we won't get this weapon when Jolan becomes ash?
That's a shame.

Submit

This sword is obnoxious to play against. It feels like the hitbox is significantly bigger than it looks and you're kinda combo locked for the duration.

Submit

Tensa Zangestu

Submit

The INT requirement was obvious with the magic damage not like the meteorite colossal sword

Submit

fingerprints bane

Submit

Pretty neat sword

L2 -> R1 is true combo
L2 -> R2 is rollcatch
running R2 -> L2 -> R1/R2 is fun

Submit

Am I bad or can the uncharged r2 continuously roll catch in pvp? Some loser spammed ansbach bow wa with sleep arrows and kept spamming this weapons skill. I literally could not dodge the last swing no matter how well I timed my dodge.

Anyone have Cheat Engine ID? Can't find it. I wanted to give her and the sis Grace.
