Elden Ring – Dragon-Hunter's Great Katana DLC Build – Pure Quality Build (PvP/PvE)
The Dragon-Hunter's Great Katana is, well, a Great Katana. It's a new weapon type added in Shadow of the Erdtree, and there are plenty of other good options in the Lands of Shadow. Here's where to find it, and what stats to prioritize for maximum effect:
The Dragon-Hunter's Great Katana is located in the Dragon's Pit dungeon and is dropped by the Ancient-Dragon Man boss that can be found in the area. We have a special guide on how to defeat the boss and clear the dungeon itself, and you should definitely check it out to make your life a lot easier. The boss fight is easy, so don't expect any specific requirements to beat it.
This weapon scales primarily and equally with Dexterity and Strength. While it does apply solid Bleed, it does not scale with Arcane, so you can leave that out of this build and shift your planned stat points to something else. All stats in Elden Ring have a soft cap of 60, so if you want to focus on Strength and Dexterity, don't go any further or you'll just be wasting points. The Dragon's Hunter Great Katana has C scaling with both stats, and they'll deal you equal damage.
