MMOexp: Dragonscale Blade is going to be a katana
-
No. 5 - Veteran's Prosthesis (B Tier)
Veteran's Prosthesis is a fist-based weapon and fist base weapons actually tend to Elden Ring Runes be great in terms of DPS and the movesets. This one in particular does actually have the most range out of all the fists and it gets that slash and piercing type damage, so therefore their running attacks are actually some good poking attacks. Unfortunately, though the weapon skill does actually leave a lot to be desired, it weapon skill does decent damage and only consumes 10 FP but the first part about it with that little AOE kick that you do get doesn't really do much damage, it only serves as an obstacle to actually get to the good part of the weapon skill itself, but overall it still is a decent weapon.
No. 4 - Dragonscale Blade (A Tier)
Dragonscale Blade is going to be a katana that unfortunately doesn't actually get lightning damage or a passive status effect until after you use its weapon skill - Ice Lightning Storm which is 25 FP you do this slam-down animation that is very similar to Lightning Slash Azure 4, and for 45 seconds afterward, you do get bonus. Lightning damage 160 and 80 Frost buildup as well which is decent and this level actually does also bonus damage to best place to buy elden ring items dragon-type enemies as well. It is a solid weapon overall, unfortunately, you can only get that passive status effect after you use the buff which all the other katanas get passive status effects without a weapon skill and without the buff itself.
