Moonveil or rivers of blood?

[calm]

I'm currently playing Rivers of Blood and would like options on Moon Veil damage

[Dollmaker]

Depends, Arcane or Int build?

Completely different weapons for completely different builds.

I currently have an arcane build and I'm playing with rivers of blood. I would just like to know whether or not it would be worth migrating to Int(Moonveil)

Meteoric Ore Blade. Or, if the INT requirement scares you off, Dragonscale Blade.

Not really, Moonveil heavily leans on Int Scaling, its basically a weapon for mages, or Int hybrids.

Play with them and figure out what you want.

Don't worry about min/maxing unless you're doing PVP or are anal about that stuff. Weapon level matters more than scaling until about B grade. You can always respec, and there will be plenty of stones once you figure out what works for you.

I tend to avoid katanas, but rivers of blood isn't going to be great vs the Elden Beast, you'll want a different kind of weapon.

Dual reduvias / Whips can be fun, if you're doing Arc/Dex.

meteoric ore blade seems to be better for the open world, I don't know if it would be as efficient in boss duels

I agree, I like to play with the possibilities, but I've already defeated the elden beast (with rivers of blood) and I'm looking for a build for NG+1

Remember you can respec with Rennala for one Larva Tear.

Both are efficient. MOB actually hurts if you're not lacking in STR, and Dragonscale, while by itself is somewhat mediocre, also shows good damage when buffed with Ice Lightning.

Moonveil falls off in late-game, while MOB is always a reliable choice, and Dragonscale is not too far behind it thanks to Lightning being the least resisted element (and I don't need to tell you how good Frostbite is).

I was thinking about using the moon veil with the ushigatana with ice war ashes, I think that would be a good option

[Angel]

you're already an arcane build, go full blood god rivers of blood and blood incantations

moonveil is really good and if you did go moonveil you'd probably go intelligence as well so you also have damage options on your magic, it's up to you what sounds more fun

Don't forget to overlevel and use Bullgoat/Radahn's armor.
