Nagakiba build notes
- Nagakiba keeps Katana bleed pressure while trading raw convenience for unusually long reach.
- Its default Ash of War is Unsheathe, but as a regular Smithing Stone weapon it can support flexible Ash of War planning.
- The Strength and Dexterity requirements are higher than Uchigatana, so check requirements before routing it early.
