Uchigatana build and upgrades?

[RhyBear]

Never REALLY got into a Dark Souls game till DS3, i managed to get Uchigatana early on (By accident actually just sorta ran into the guy and the assasin starter kit had the faster attack speed)

Im enjoying the weapon but not quite sure how i should build my stats or upgrade the weapon, i read around that fire no longer lets the weapon scale? So wouldnt that be a bad thing?

Seems raw infused be better for dmg? A little confused

The uchigatana has a couple valid ways of use.

First and foremost it's a DEX weapon, meaning stack dex. 40-50 dex is usually where you wanna head with it.

Secondly get a Sharp stone, and make it a SHARP uchigatana. It further increases the DEX stacking, making your 40-50 dex give even more attack damage.

Now you have to decide if you want to expand on the bleeding damage with LUCK, or add a bit more raw damage with STRENGTH, either way, about 20-25 is good for that regard.

OR you could be a little clever and raise your INT, boosting the Uchigatana with spells like magic weapon, or Pyromancy to make it a fire weapon, Or just stick with coatings.

The rest is up to you really

I posted about this in another thread, but i need more input. I have 60 Dex, and when i infuse the Uchi to Sharp, my overall damage goes down. How is this possible?

I don't believe this is happening. Can you please post the numbers of your attack rating before and after?

Not just the base damage, but also the + damage from your stat scaling.

For example, a weapon will say 157 +140 before an upgrade, and after an upgrade it will say 140 + 190 or something.

The BASE damage got lowered, but the overall damage got raised
