Sword of Night | Elden Ring Wiki

Sigh I guess it's time to return to my Darth Maul build...

Submit

This thing looks really weird when you get blood on it.

Submit

If they can make magic damage scaling with dex, they can do magic and holy damage scaling with int and faith combined. Where tf are my single or phys/elemental damage weapons for golden order and death magic builds? Helloo?!

Submit

can it be obtained even if u pick the other option?

Submit

Would’ve been cool to have a unique interaction power stancing this + serpentbone blade since they have the same wicked R2

Submit

only scales in dex, yet does a trinkle of magic damage... what another example of fromsoft's abysmal game design.

Submit

The more people complain about the weapon maybe it receives the A scaling it deserves in a future patch.

Submit

Only one scaling but it doesn't even end up at high scaling

Submit

Judgement Cut...

Submit

So how do I infuse this with flame?

Submit

Close enough, welcome back Blind and Darkdrift.

Submit

this weapon is so cool I just wish it was good

Submit

in pvp it has an uncharged L2 into R1 combo, very good!

Submit

this weapons uncharged L2 combos into an r1 its good af

Submit

the WA on this thing was made for the person that always said "I need damage NOW"

Submit

is there a "cool" str only weapon in the dlc? i only see cool stuff for builds with investment in other stats. (and no that anvil hammer doesn't count)

Submit

normally I wouldn't get this weapon but it's not like her other ending is also good so I guess I'm gonna own one now

Submit

oh i see how it is, swift slash gets to fire off immediately an entire football field away with an inescapable blade vortex for even less FP but I gotta wait one cosmic dynasty to charge up the vorpal blades on this thing's skill

Submit

Hey I know this weapon, I thought there were two of them though

Submit

Welcome back, Darkdrift

Submit

Its actually kinda embarrassing how **** this weapon is. Its just worse than a basic uchi with double slash or sword dance lol.

Submit

Equinox

Submit

They gave this weapon two skill attacks from other Katanas and it's pretty busted. Has a shorter version of Waterfowl dance as it's skill and the Serpent Blades skill as it's heavy attack. Both those attacks are so quick and multi-hits that it activates Milicents Prothesis and Rotten Sword Insignia is one press. The heavy attack also has insane stagger as it's staggers enemies in one charged heavy. Will stagger bosses fairly easy as well. The heavy attack comes out so fast that you can get off a few light attacks and chain straight into the heavy for big damage and a quick bleed proc. Can also chain the heavy and skill together. Definitely my favorite katana moveset in the game.

Submit

Show me your motivation ahh sword

Submit

very low dmg compared to certain other catanas

Submit

The Wall Build's greatest fear

Submit

we got Captain Yami in Elden ring before we got GTA VI

Submit

Yami build for black clover fans

Submit

does the magic damage not scale with INT investment?

Submit

I love you in every universe...Frayed Blade.

Submit

I'VE BECOME SO NUMB

Submit

This weapon doesnt have any int requirement, must have been datamined and changed before launch

Submit

don't know if this is a negative but it has an int requirement but no scaling. I find that kinda weird but it does make knowing what state to level up easy.

Submit

Freyed blade my beloved

Submit

Does not scale with INT at all for some reason. I'm inclined to believe that it's an oversight...

Submit

love this

Submit

if you dont have good poise in pvp it just stunlocks you

Submit

*Unflames your sword of night and flame*

Submit

Actually the coolest weapon ever

Submit

I wrecked Messmer with the L2 on this thing. Also it looks incredible with the Nights Cavalry armor set.

Submit

Well. I finally got what i wished for, an equivalent of the serpentbone blade (it has the R2s) but with bleed and a unique skill, it's just too bad that LGS has everything I want from a weapon now

the stance at the start kinda looks like wing stance so im keeping it in my pocket as a "third" option for it lol, wish it didn't take so long to charge, feels like it has longer startup than waterfowl which is nuts

Submit

Was really hoping one of these new katanas would replace Moonveil for my int caster, but it's not to be.

Submit

Absolutely shredded a certain boss in the spooky woods with this thing

Submit

How was I supposed to know that I should have sucked the light out of her. ;-;

Submit

Welcome back Frayed Blade

Submit

Hello, would you like to destroy some evil today?

Submit

Does a small amount of magic damage but scales exclusively with Dex. Has no Int requirement; and has the R2 X swipe slashes shared with the Serpentbone Blade.

The weapon is almost certainly meant to be the ER successor of Darkdrift and Frayed Blade, down to the semi-corporeal nature and the shield bypass properties.

I'd imagine it's not going to be as busted as Frayed Blade was though; owing to the fact its shorter, and the Skill has a much longer startup compared to the ol' Frayed Blade Unsheathe R2.

Submit

This katana has B scaling in dex, but with 80dex it scales way better than a quality 54 str 80dex 2 handed uchigatana

Submit

hopefully the weapon is bugged, the damage is extremely sub par and the ash is not good either. cosplay sword mostly, id still grab it incase they patch it tho.

Submit

magic sword only requiring str/dex and only scales with dex

269+211 physical
80+74 magic

at +10

Submit

Anyone mind trading me one on PC after backing up their save? This page was incomplete and I gave her wrong item, didn't realize it and am not planning on going to NG+ any time soon.

Submit

This katana has a B Dex scaling at max level, but it has a damage boost of a few % at night. Spamming weapon art is better than holding the button, although the damage is higher when holding it, it is more reliable to just tap the button.

I would like to be able to press R1 or R2 when holding the weapon art to change the type of attack, to the current default on R1 and a vertical slash on R2, similar to moon veil or even hold R2 to increase the size of the shadows, similar to Ash of War Carian Sovereignty.

Who knows in some mod in the future

Submit

Welcome back, Freyed Blade.

Submit

It's upgraded with smithing stones, not somber

Submit

What nobody mentions is that this weapon has a unique heavy attack combo compared to all other katanas, it hits twice really quickly making it insane to proc bleed with. Scaling might be bugged but the heavy attack alone redeems it.

Submit

Close enough, welcome back Frayed Blade!

Submit

This would fit well wearing the Night's cavalry armor.

Submit

welcome back darkdrift

Submit

This weapon is 100% supposed to scale with Int. Almost positive it's a bug.

Submit

I'm guessing no int scaling may be a bug similar to how Elenora's Poleblade had no scaling at all on launch.

Submit

Scaling is more than likely bugged.

Submit

doesnt need any int

Submit

as you use it the weapon gets soaked in blood which looks super weird becauce the black fog particles dont look good on top of a red colored texture

Submit

this weapon sucks major ass, doesnt even have an A in dex despite scaling with absolutely nothing else, the star-line katana has more dex scaling than this and even gets a D in strenght and a D in inteligence for your troubles, why does fromsoftware always assume pierce shields -> needs to be bad?

Submit

The AoW is a menace in PVP

Submit

why have all the hot ones always gotta die

Submit

There is no int requirement for this weapon. Dex and Str requirement on the wiki is correct.

Submit

This got the serpentbone blade r2

Submit

This would've been a great opportunity to have a faith Katana for once weapon art is awesome but scaling is god awful its a shame they did this weapon dirty better off getting the Star-lined sword

Submit

iris of occultation -> sword of night
iris of grace -> supposedly ashes

Submit

Went through an intensely long quest line for this. At +10 it scales with only DEX. Yet the AOW relies on Magic damage . . . because of this, the AOW is always weak because even pumping stats into INT will not increase the AOW damage. I legit think there was an error and they intended this to scale with INT as well.

Submit

Stick with moonveil and swap tiche for summon duo, or swap moonveil for this and ditch tiche?

Submit

Jolan completely disappeared from the Cathedral after Ymir's death cause the guide didn't even remotely mentions that Ymir's questline goes in parallel with Jolan's in any of the respective pages. Good job!

Submit

Just to let y'all know it does not have an int requirement at all. Just got mine and it doesn't need int. Still has magic damage though which is weird

Submit

Coolest katana ever, sadly it's absolutely terrible for actual gameplay

Submit

Does the aow scale at all?

Submit

Captain yami

Submit

Captain Yami

Submit

That's.... so anime

Submit

Good style, bad damage. No INT scaling and only B scaling in DEX at +10.

Submit

Enten.

Submit

Close enough… Welcome back Frayed Blade!!!

Submit

Close enough... Welcome back Frayed Blade!

Submit

Doesn't Have an Int requirement

Submit

They need to bring back dark damage

Submit

AOW "Can't be blocked". Noob Counter incoming

Submit

I'm assuming the wiki is wrong and it scales with more than just an E in strength lol, does anyone have the actual scaling for it?

Submit

This doesn't actually require INT

Submit

the weapon sucks, ash of war does no damage

Submit

the weapon sucks, the ash of war does 0 damage because it doesn’t scale witn int despite doing magic damage

Submit

giving the light eye only gave spirit ashes not the sword....

Submit

Makes me want to learn ki.

Submit

Makes me want to learn

Submit

does this have any unique light or heavy attacks

Submit

Why have int req if it wasn't scaling with int

Submit

Why have int req if it wasn't scaling with int

Submit

i want it so bad. I just looked at some of the weapons because i already beat the dlc final boss (which was a pain in my ass btw. I only found like 5 or so weapons total i guess i should have explored more. I have some more time today. What yall think of the bosses? I would have liked lower damage for the flurry attacks , but otherwise they are fine i think.... mostly

Submit

I definitely feel like this should have have arc scaling and requirement instead of having an int requirement

Submit

This is so dark that I literally can't see it

Submit

Sword of Vantablack

ps.put a white backdrop if you can
it does what it says I can't even see it
