One of the strongest katanas in the game, the Moonveil Katana is a weapon that specializes in slashing and the weapon contains a unique skills that allows players to draw the weapon at great speed for an instant slash attack and fires off a wave of light. The weapon is dropped from the Magma Wyrm boss battle in the Gael Tunnel, and is extremely powerful for its fast paced attacks and its passive bleed effect which is especially useful for players who are going for a bleed build.
Players who are using a greatsword build will find the Bloodhound's Fang Greatsword to be one of the most useful weapons in the game due to the mobility in its special attack where players do a reverse somersault slash and a misty step charge attack. For any player who uses physical weapons will understand that mobility is crucial in a game like Elden Ring, so for a weapon to offer both power and mobility is absolutely important when facing against large waves of enemies or aggressive bosses.
An easter egg weapon featured in every fromsoftware game, the Dark Moon Greatsword is an amazing all around weapon with a weapon art allows players to send a wide slash attack from a distance and has a passive frost effect with every hit. Of course being an easter egg weapon, the greatsword is only obtainable from Ranni's Quest, which is complex and requires you to do quite a lot of content, however once acquired players will understand how useful this sword can be when facing against a wide variety of difficult bosses.
The Godslayer's Greatsword is a colossal sword that is scaled primarily with Strength and Dexterity and is a great weapon for inflicting fire-based damage. The special skill is especially powerful due to its long range and its ability to be used continuously making it one of the most powerful weapons in the game. However, players do need to defeat the Godskin Apostle in the Divine Tower of Caelid in order to acquire this weapon, but players who are reliant on colossal swords will find it extremely useful.
The Sword of Night and Flame is a straight sword that has a special weapon art that allows players to cast a powerful magical beam with their thrust attack, and a powerful flame slash with their heavy attack. The weapon does require a lot of stats in order to wield it scaling with Strength, Dexterity, Intelligence, and Faith, however, the weapon proves itself to be extremely useful as the magical beam is great for long range attacks and the flame slash is extremely useful to deal with mobs of enemies.
Featured in Dark Souls and in Dark Souls 3, the Uchigatana makes its appearance in Elden Ring as the starting weapon for the Samurai class and is arguably one of the most reliable starting weapons in the game. The katana deals a fair amount of damage against bosses and enemies alike and offers a lot of flexibility when it is being upgraded. In addition, players who choose the samurai class can get an additional Uchigatana in the Deathtouched Catacombs, and by doing so, players can dual wield the katanas adding extra damage to all of their foes.
