In this part of the video, the presenter discusses how to keep players engaged until the Elden Ring DLC is announced, focusing on improving gameplay with the Uchigatana +25. They recommend the Keen Uchigatana with the standard UnSheath Ash of War for pure physical damage and flexibility to use incantations or resins. This option is viable throughout the game, regardless of enemy resistances.
Next, they suggest the Bloody Uchigatana with Seppuku for late-game players or those entering New Game Plus, highlighting its convenience and effectiveness in buffing damage and causing blood loss, which synergizes well with items like talismans or the white mask. For early game, they recommend Bloody Slash as it consumes less health.
Finally, they present the Cold Uchigatana with Hoarfrost Stomp, which still performs well despite nerfs by providing frost buildup that bursts damage and debuffs enemies, reducing their stamina recovery and increasing damage taken.
