Rakshasa’s Great Katana

Rakshasa’s Great Katana is a Shadow of the Erdtree Great Katana whose temper line is permanently stained red. It deals physical damage, causes blood loss buildup, and leans heavily on Dexterity.

While you attack you gain extra poise, but you also take more damage. Its unique skill, Weed Cutter, unleashes wide horizontal scythe-like sweeps that keep going for as long as you keep pressing and have stamina left.
