Star-Lined Sword vs Moonveil

Star-Lined Sword is Better for DEX-INT Melee Builds

The Star-Lined Sword is very similar to Moonveil due to its split magic damage and innate bleed buildup. However, they differ in that the Star-Lined Sword is friendlier to use for melee-oriented DEX-INT builds, thanks to its melee Ash of War, Onze's Line of Stars, and its highest stat scaling being DEX.

Moonveil is Better for INT-DEX Ranged Skill Spam Builds

Compared to the Star-Lined Sword, Moonveil is still better for INT-DEX ranged builds due to INT being its highest scaling stat, and because its skill, Transient Moonlight, relies on ranged waves of light to deal damage.
