Moonveil Alternative?
What katana should I use instead of the Moonveil? I just beat the double crucible knight fight with magic and the Moonveil first try and I'm now realizing that that katana is way too OP to be fun. I feel like I'm blasting through too many fights with little effort.

I'm a dex/int build, but I'd be willing to respec for a weapon that's worth it.

Rivers of Blood, amazing katana, it has the best weapon art in the entire game I Believe.

Basic uchi infused with your choice of weapon art. Don't take Rivers of Blood, it's even more broken than moonveil.

EDIT: If you feel yourself start to struggle more, don't forget to craft your consumeables for easy buffs! Pickled turtle neck and prawns are healthy and balanced for the diet of any melee adventurer!

If you must use a katana, try the Uchi. It is more powerful than Moonveil when infused with Magic but you have to be up close to the target at least.

Wing of Astel, Dark Moon Greatsword.

I can solidly vote for the DMGS, I loved using that thing. Weapon art powers up the strong attack, which shoots Master Sword-class sword lasers that crush enemy poise.

There's also Alabaster Lord's Sword, it has a fun WA. Onyx Lord's Sword has a WA with the opposite effect. Hephen's Steeple is a cool alternative to Dark Moon Greatsword (personally if you are used to using the Adula's Moonblade spell, you don't need it)

Meteorite Ore Katana scales with the same stats and doesn't have an overtuned weapon art. Also deals Physical/Magic just as Moonveil does.

idk i pretty much just used the weapon art for the whole fight. did some slashes here and there but wasn't really challenging.

thanks everyone for the recommendations. gave me a lot to try out!

also open to any dex weapons doesn't have to be katanas.

Meteoric ore blade, it scales alright with pure int and it's got the chunky R2's. Also the weapon art is neat.

OP is dex/int though and the Meteoric Ore Blade has inferior Dex scaling than Str. Though they said they're open to respeccing so I guess it's all right.

Rivers of blood is probably up next to be nerfed. Would advise not picking that one.

People will have a bad wakeup call when they hit late game thinking their weapons are OP lol.
