Best Uchigatana Ashes of War | |
---|---|
Ash of War: Unsheathe | Ash of War: Bloodhound's Step |
The best ashes of war to infuse the Uchigatana with are Bloodhound's Step, and Unsheathe, its default skill.
Bloodhound's Step is a great choice if you prefer an evasive skill as it covers more distance than a regular dodge roll and makes you invisible for the duration, which means enemies will lose track of you for a moment when used during their combos.
Unsheathe, on the other hand, is for those who want to hit harder (and look cooler) with their slashes. Its follow up attack deals more poise damage, making it easier to break stances and land critical hits, and can be boosted further with the Shard of Alexander.
