Katanas suck in this game

[MobyPhallus]

I just came from Sekiro and wanted to try a dex build because I am gay, but the katanas are god awful in this game. They take a crazy amount of stamina, they are slow and weak.

Also as a side note, people always joke about dex builds, but playing a strength build is literally playing this game on weenie hut junior mode, you dont even have to git gud you just kill and stagger everything in one hit.

Git gud

This is bait, but anyway:

Katanas as kind of fast, but not as much as daggers or straight swords. They have meh damage for the most part and require little stamina to use. Their biggest benefit is the run attack, rest of the moveset is alright.

When people complain about dex builds, or say how useless strength builds are, they're referring to PvP. In PvE anything is viable. Not like strength builds can work in PvP, you just gotta be more patient and know what moves to use when.

Also pretty sure I don't count as a noob for DS3.

Everything in dex is SUPER good except katanas (from what ive seen, I dont use them). Quality is definitely a fantastic equal, maybe way better than str. Hollowslayer greatsword +5 with 33 dex and 26 str I have 537 AR two handed, translating to somwhere around 300-400 damage a swing in pvp, but ungodly amounts of damage against enemies (600+) because it gets a bonus to hollows. Dex weapons are normally far superior, but you're right in that strength can make the PvE aspect easier.

Only like 2 katanas are good and really only for pvp katana builds are like just one way to flex on the game while playing like doing a caestes only build its when you want to win but in style

Caestus and Demon's Fist is a super fun combo for PvP. Not really amazing, but fun. Really need to remake my Mister Fister build.

1 its called atomic karate and 2 demon fist doesn't hold a candle to the raw force that is perseverance and caestus 3 buff them boys with shiny powers and do more damage than deamon fisters

The chaos blade has the best damage for a DEX build, the frayed blade has the most raw damage overall, and the washing pole has the longest reach by far. Any one of these gets well over 400 damage per swing with 60 dex, and I'm lowballing that estimate.

If you think the katana sucks, you haven't learned how to use it yet. Simple as that.

You'll do more damage sure, but I found it way more fun to swap between 2-handing the caestus or the demon's fist. That way I had a little more variety with the flaming spin on the Demon's Fist.

also katanas can be buffed with dark weeb blade for that sweet like extra 200 ar so just do that

Well yes, but dex builds are playing the game on super weenie hut junior mode.

Oh here we go.

Yikes. Just... wow. This'll be a good read.
