Should I upgrade my Uchigatana+15 to Fire, lightning, or keep it the way it is?

Thanks!

What's your Soul level and your DEX stat?

if you're Dex...then Uchigatana 15+ is godlike

Dex level is 22. Soul Level is 92

Wait I read it wrong. Still, go for +15.

Keep it +15, otherwise you wasted a slab. Grab another katana if you want to try an elemental one.

But my faith and intelligence is default, never upgraded. I am a strength and dex character.

It is better to go for +15 in that case, put more points in Dex, it scales well off it. If you want to try elemental, you can buy some off Shiva of the East. +15 Normal allows you to buff it with resin or spells/miracles.

Also Chaos +5 when you have 10 Humanity is better than a regular Fire +10.

why would I try an elemental weapon is my faith and intelligence is extremely low by default

If you can use an elemental weapon it's already at full strength.

Resin buffs don't scale with INT/FAI

[roOstrich]

Elemental weapons do not scale with anything, they are good for low soul level characters.

Magic/Enchanted for int builds.
Divine/Occult for Faith builds.
Normal +15 for either Strength or Dexterity builds depending on weapon, buffable.
Raw for no slab hassle, low level PvE weapon.
Elemental for low levels, or just for fun (that's why you would try it).
Crystal for hornet bs/riposte ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ dmg. (Can't be repaired)

Any regular weapon upgraded to fire or lightning type loses scaling apart from chaos weapons which scale with humanity.

Yup and also if your stats (dex and str) are just the minimum stats needed to wield the weapon
