rivers of blood

[LostSoul]

people are saying it is the best katana or one of the best but it has heavier, less damaging and less blood loss build-up stats than the uchigatana. can somebody pls explain why it is the best.

[Sonnenbank]

It was the best before nerf....
because its weapon art did do full damage and insane bleed build up at insane range ( like 3 meters away)

now you actually need to hit the enemy with your sword even in weapon art to do full damage

because Coprse Piler is Mizeraki's hidden weapon- he is such a dastardly rogue, cheeky and playful !
And if you have an internet connection and access to youtube, you too can learn the secrets to winning in Elden Ring, because, you see, this katana deals with the game designer's massive skill issue really neatly!

Well it used to be a lot stronger but got nerfed. Its Ash of War, Corpse Piler, still gives you rapid application of bleed. Though you could just use Heavy / Keen / Quality Uchigatana + Double Slash and Bloodflame and achieve something similar if not better.
