rapid poison is an instant HP drain, not over time. You can experiance it in the wet nurse fight.

still, I'd rather do away with the rapid poison if it meant not having to suffer the HP drain either.

Yeah just pwnd Wet nurse without even realizing I even did anything to her

Yep, I used story mode rapid poison gems on top of the inate poison to take down the Pthumerian Descendant. It definitely works.

It seems like the Chikage is more of a formal, "decoration" weapon used for ceremony. The description makes mention of it only be used by the royal guards that protected their queen.

The servants that you find and fight in Cainhurst Castle only use regular rapiers, so the key difference is that the knights had a fancier outfit and their rapiers were armed with built-in guns, which definitely would be a step-up from the peasantry class.

I assume it's more like this: Knights- Knight Set + Reiterpallasch Royal Guard- Cainhurst set + Chikage

But still, the knight armor is so fancy that I thought they were the old nobles especially with the paintings in the castle featuring same or similar outfits, I just cant imagine knights wearing that outfit as servants. I cant even imagine what attire did the nobles wear if servants got treated so well.

Oh did you see the video too?

Weapon is beast.

with 99 points in resistance the chikage gets a super secret 250% damage boost verses tooth fairies.

No one knows?

oh shi

Only the L1 -> R1 quick draw attack does blood damage. The R1/Roll -> L1 does physical L2 does pierce damage and that is a shame. Chikage would be way more fun to use!

the transformation attaks both do Bloodtinge damage

Thank you very much it's my first katana build so I didn't know what to do may the good blood guide your way

go for 50 bloodtinge and 25 skill The fastest way is to defeat Vicar and than skip to Iosefkas clinic and than go to hemmwick, but it will the boss there won´t be a cake walk i m doing it now myself

You should go for the standard one (unless you plan to use it only in 2H mode), since physical gems increase blood damage too. Using the Lost version will only net you a minimal increase in blood damage while noticeably lowering your physical AR.

I'd be using the Lost version and going transformed mode all but exclusively. Transformed Chikage wrecks everything.

Your probably better of using the normal Chikage with all three gem slots filled with 27.2% physical attack | x% stamina cost gems.

Btw, sorry for the triple post; my page is doing weird things.

No problem and thanks for the anwser And do you think farming odd shape bloodtinge gems would be useful at all? I tried it and got a triangle gem, but after that most of the time (even though I have 326 discovery) the watcher droped only ritual blood
