Dual wielding in Elden Ring isn’t just a cool looking gimmick. The extra attack speed, attack pattern, and range can make a build like Dual Katanas exceptionally efficient. Let’s take a look at how this playstyle can work.

There are quite a few options for Katana builds, from pure Dexterity to even Dexterity and Intelligence routes. This build focuses on the strongest part of Elden Ring's Katanas: easy access to bleed.
The following stats are for a level 120 build. Your best starting class is Samurai, though most starters can achieve these stat spreads without too much trouble.
From base Samurai, it’s very important to get your Dexterity up to the soft cap of 60 and your Arcane up to 40. This build prioritizes bleeding out your enemies through Arcane-scaling weapons like the Bleed affinity and River of Blood. Building your character to cap these highly aggressive stats is a great way to deal a lot of damage and improve your bleed-out.
