Katanas | Elden Ring Wiki

Katanas are a type of Weapon in Elden Ring. Katanas specialize in mid-range combat and are capable of inflicting slash and thrust attacks, as well as the Hemorrhage Status Effect in many cases, which can deal significant damage. Many players choose this weapon type for its unique moveset.

Only the Uchigatana and Nagakiba can be modified by a number of Ashes of War to change their Skills or Damage Type. The Unsheathe Skill is available for only these two weapons.

Note: Patch 1.08 Katanas poise damage has been reduced only on PVP.

Note: Patch 1.13 Increased poise damage of dual wield attacks of all Katanas (in PVP).

Note:Patch 1.14 Increased the attack speed of the uncharged version of the first heavy attack.

Shadow of the Erdtree, the expansion of Elden Ring, added 2 new weapons in this category: Star-Lined Sword and Sword of Night.
