Trying to make the best Blood Katana build in the game, need help!

[Lucyfar]

I can put 80 in every offensive stat (STR, DEX, ARC etc...)

The blood buildup in Rivers is less than the other katanas it doesnt make sense since River is literally a blood katana lol

I'm thinking about using Rivers +10 with 80 STR/DEX/ARC

or

Blood Nagakiba +25 with the same stats and Bloodhound Dash ashe of war

which one you think is best, damagewise and utilitywise?

As someone who used both weapons on a arcane build, the answer is: it depends.

On some enemies the increased bleeding of a nagakiba buffed with seppuku means that you will proc bleeding with only one or two swings, allowing you to stunlock certain enemies you otherwise could not.

On the other hand, rivers of blood benefits a lot from fire damage buffs such a "flame grant me strength" and its unique skill has good range, can stunlock certain enemies and covers a wide arc in front of the player, overall the better choice.
However it is easily interrupted by certain enemies and is less effective against fire resistant foes.

If you have 80 in every stat, you could roll quality for a B/B Str/Dex Nagakiba or Uchi with seppuku. All katanas bleed by default, and seppuku raises the base damage and adds more bleed.

I always forgot about the fire damage in Rivers, what does that Flame Grant me Strenght does? i dont remember

also Rivers ashe of war damage if better then doing multiple procs of bleed with the others katanas that build bleed faster?
