You can only get two Uchigatanas in NG if you started as Samurai. The Uchigatana is a catacomb in Northern Limgrave Occult Infusion makes your weapon getting scaling with Arcane and increase stats buildup such as bleeding and poison. There are few Ashes of war with occult scaling. The best way to give a weapon occult affinity is using the black whetblade, you can find it in Nokron It's worse than bleeding infusion when it comes to proccing bleed, but it's add strong arcane scaling so thr damage output is high without compromising your ability to make bosses bleed At 80 ARC it's only marginally weaker than Keen Uchigatana with 80 DEX, but with much higher bleed buildup: 11STR 15DEX **80ARC**: Occult Uchigatana = 585AR / 88 Bleed 11STR **80DEX** 8ARC: Keen Uchigatana = 596AR / 45 Bleed Combined this with Mimic tear and most bosses will bleed in every combo However be aware some bosses are immune to bleeding, many of them actually. If you don't have many Larval Tears you can go for DEX and change the affinity to Lightning, Keen and Blood Infusions whenever you see fit If you really to keep INT and be a magic Samurai I strongly advice to use ranged magic and abuse Moonveil's Ashes of War. Intelligence builds are great, but a good spell blade build is about mid-range fights (using Cold, Ashes of war and some ranged sorceries) and your playstyle looked 100% meele for me If you want to meele IMO DEX, ARC and STR are better stats than INT |
BTW, what build are you running for the DLC?
