How to get it
Dropped by the Magma Wyrm in Gael Tunnel, Caelid.
Why use it
- Transient Moonlight hits twice: the draw slash and a magic wave that travels forward.
- Physical plus magic damage with Intelligence scaling, ideal for sorcery builds.
- Keeps the katana bleed buildup, so it also works as a melee weapon.
- The heavy version of the skill reaches far and is great for poking bosses.
Best build
Intelligence with enough Dexterity for the requirement. Use it alongside sorceries, and boost it with the Shard of Alexander and Magic Scorpion Charm.
Tips
- Gael Tunnel is in northern Caelid; the Magma Wyrm fight is manageable with fire protection.
- Light roll after the skill: its recovery is short enough to chain safely.
- Weave normal attacks in between skills to apply bleed.
