Rivers of Blood is a katana that scale primarily with Strength, Dexterity, and Arcane. It’s Corpse Piler skill can inject insane bleed build up to the enemy, make this a phenomenal weapon for arcane and dexterity build to melt everything in sight.
PROS
- It can Deal Fire and Physical Damage
- It fast and can inject insane bleed build up especialy when you perfoming Corpse Piler skill.
- In my opinion, the Skill Attack Range is quite good compared to the regular double ash of war which has the same moveset.
CONS
- Stamina Hungry Skill, so having enough endurance in your character and consume Pickled Turtle Neck is recommended to perform additioal follow up attack also temporarily boosts your Stamina recovery speed.
- and this weapon Can be obtained in late game area, so you need to progress through the game for a while.
