Dragonscale Blade is a Katana in Elden Ring. The Dragonscale Blade scales primarily with Dexterity, with reduced scaling in Strength, and is a good Weapon for dealing Slash and Pierce damage against Lightning-susceptible enemies.
A weapon made by sharpening a Gravel Stone scale,
thought to be the source of ancient dragon immortality,
into an unclouded blade.
Alas, the Dragonkin Soldiers never attained immortality,
and perished as decrepit, pale imitations of their skyborn kin.
