The Elden Ring Moonveil is a unique katana that requires 12 Strength, 18 Dexterity, and 23 Intelligence to wield. It scales primarily with Intelligence and Dexterity, along with Strength. Intelligence scales the best of the three stats, and allows it to do massive damage. You'll need Somber Smithing Stones to upgrade it, along with an Ancient Dragon Somber Smithing Stone to max it out. It's also the main weapon of our Elden Ring Samurai build due to its bleed effects and fast attack speed.

The unique skill of the Moonveil is called Transient Moonlight, which when activated, causes the player to sheathe the blade before pulling it out and slashing forward, which also causes a beam of magic energy to blast forward. You can use this as a light attack or strong attack, which changes the direction of the slash. Each slash also costs 15 FP.
