Elden Ring: Moonveil Katana Build Guide

Bloodstained Dagger : A great no-nonsense choice. Since it's a basic weapon, it can be upgraded to +25 with regular Smithing Stones , but unlike the basic Dagger, it passively applies Bleed. Not only that, but when combined with another Ash of War, the Bloodstained Dagger can apply multiple status effe


Glintstone Kris : The Glintstone Kris grants players an interesting ability called "Glintstone Dart," but as far as a Sorcery spell in Elden Ring , it's fairly underwhelming. It may be useful in the early game, but any player building Intelligence will quickly find a better alternat


Erdsteel Dagger : A bit of extra reach and the ability to compliment a Faith-based build is nice, but the Erdsteel Dagger takes too much effort to get when players can easily go find better alternati

Erdtree Avatars drop crystal tears for the flask of Wondrous Physic, which can grant the player various unique buffs upon consumption. Since there are so many potential builds and situations in Elden Ring, it's worthwhile to get as my tears as possible before starting a new run. There are seven avatars in total and they can be found in the following locations:

Many Elden Ring players getting through the game for the first time find themselves getting stuck at the Godskin Duo battle in the Crumbling Farum Azula. While the Godskin Apostle and Godskin Noble are individual, optional bosses that can be encountered on multiple occasions throughout the game, fighting both of them at the same time is a mandatory ordeal for all those who want to see one of Elden Ring's endi


Fire Knight's Shortsword : One of the best Elden Ring daggers added in the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC is this Fire damage-infused dagger. The Fire Knight's Shortsword scales very well with Faith and Everdark Variants the Flame infusion, which boosts its Fire damage further. There are a lot of Fire resistant enemies in the DLC, but this is a great one to bring back to the base g


Players are required to platform in this location except platforming in a Souls game is never that cohesive or agile, mostly thanks to the stubborn camera. The area is also home to some of the worst boss runs in the g

Updated December 27, 2024 by Erik Petrovich : In Elden Ring, Moonveil Katana builds tend to focus on expanding the players' ability to wield this fast and versatile weapon with backup spells and weapons to complement the playstyle, as well as Talismans and Armor to help boost your effectiveness. This guide to the best Moonveil build Elden Ring players can put together has been updated to provide more details on these recommendations, including new information on the weapons' requirements and scaling, the most useful Sorceries, and more.


The battle against Starscourge Radahn is one of the most exhilarating fights in the entire game. Summoning NPCs to aid the players and charging at the demigod feels epic, and so does the satisfaction that comes with defeating Radahn. The only problem? It's an excruciatingly difficult encounter. Understandably, many players set out to find an easier way of handling


The secret to obtaining this greatbow is only just now beginning to get out among Elden Ring players. It involves using a bow to drop large pots on the moving chariot trap in the Tomb of Knowledge. The Erdtree Greatbow stands out among the bows by splitting its damage between physical damage (60) and Holy damage (65). As a greatbow, this weapon also has excellent ra

One of the most iconic armor sets in the game, and a great armor set for the Moonveil Katana build that doesn't rely on samurai-like gear, is the Carian Knight set. You'll look like Moongrum, the named enemy who stands guard outside of Rennala's boss room, but instead of a paltry short sword, you'll be wielding one of the best Intelligence katanas in the game.


This weapon has the Mighty Shot weapon skill. The Mighty Shot skill does a lot more damage than a standard shot but requires the player to draw the bow back fully before firing. This is the only light bow with the Mighty Shot skill. Since the Composite Bow is faster than most other bows, it allows the player to fire Mighty Shots faster than the larger bows that typically get this sk


The Composite Bow is becoming a favorite among players. It doesn't do a lot of damage (65). However, it can be fired fairly quickly. This bow can be obtained early into a game from a merchant near Bellum Church in Liurnia of the Lakes. The Composite Bow can be infused with Ashes of

Once all the remaining high-priority bosses have been dealt with, players may want to consider channeling their efforts into sniffing out any remaining dungeons. While this may seem easier said than done, there are a couple of ways to hone-in on their locations.


Crossbows need a little work in Elden Ring . They're certainly better than they were in the Dark Souls games , but they still need a little balancing. The deal with crossbows in games, traditionally, is they offer a trade-off to players; they are slower to reload but more accurate and damaging than bows. In Elden Ring , crossbows do quite a bit less damage than bows – even many light bows have higher damage rati
