i was in time for every OP thing ever in all souls series i always played them on release i have around 15k hours in souls series combined i know its gonna get nerfed but its gonna be a while until then enjoy your experience ruined

That's nice. So you're complaining about an op weapon that'll get adjusted eventually. Have fun with it while it lasts.

It is RIVERS OF BLOOD.

I've been reading that the weapon is bugged with scaling and such. There hasn't been any weapon adjustment patches that I know of yet. Just the 1.02, and 1.02.1/1.02.2 patch.

Moonveil is the best katana and probably the best weapon from how good the scaling is and the Weapon art. Very overtuned. Rivers of blood would probably be the second best or the best when they fix arcane scaling and nerfed moonveil.

I'd like to advocate for the hand of malenia weapon.

Pros:
-Decent damage about 500 with a B scaling in dex when fully upgraded (including the + from about 50 dex), also causes bleed. Very long reach, almost washing pole like but a bit shorter.
-One of the best specials I've seen. Does a long chain of attacks which is hard for people to dodge, does good damage to bosses if you catch them and is pretty good overall.
- with the right build your looking at between 4000-6000 damage for a full special combo on a enemy/boss, with decent potential for staggering them.

Cons:
-Requires defeating a late game very difficult boss to get.
-Has a dex requirement of 48.
-looks wonky if your dual stancing with a much shorter katana.

Here's a short video I googled showcasing it.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone.

I'll get the Rivers of blood first, because it seems to be quite strong, I like the look of it and moonveil is a bit too OP for me, the game shouldn't be too easy^^

When I'm ready, I'll get hand of malenia.
