MMOexp: This makes the Tarnished an armed weapon
Similar to the uchigatana's weapon skills by holding your left shoulder's button, it encases the blade, ready for striking quickly however, on top of Elden Ring Runes the devastating physical strike, drawing drawing the Moonveil Katana can also unleash an blue projectile wave. This makes the Tarnished an armed weapon that is able to be used at a distance.
Transient Moonlight is the reason that makes the Moonveil dangerous. Even after FromSoftware stealthily nerfed it in a recent patch, the katana still quickly builds up the blood loss status effect, hits hard when upgraded, and shoots out a Vergil-from-Devil-May-Cry-style blade wave. In PvE the weapon skill is an excellent way to get a few shots into the game while keeping a the distance. For PvP players, this skill is an absolute blessing. This skill lets you keep the pressure up in close proximity and let you interrupt the majority of casting animations from a distance.
Being the victim is a snare that there are people on both sides of the blade. Many love the Moonveil, they claim it has helped them defeat numerous invaders and bosses in succession. Some call it broken due to the fact that players use Transient Moonlight too often. There are people who seem to hate the Moonveil that they have named their Tarnished to transmit their hatred towards other users. This is quite extreme.
I get it. Engaging with a weapon that instantly discharges a highly damaging projectile is a nightmare in PvP. However, at the same time being a devoted Katana fan, I'm enjoying the Moonveil. It's the type of weapon that evokes the otaku within me and lets me play my fantasies as a Ronin like Rurouni Kenshin, or even Elden Ring's own samurai, The Bloody Finger Hunter Yura, instead of buy Elden Ring Runes a raggedy worn-out. If only my ghost dogs and I could take down that damn Magma Wyrm.
