Rivers of Blood build notes
- Rivers of Blood is best treated as an Arcane bleed weapon with Dexterity support rather than a generic Katana.
- Corpse Piler is the defining skill, so the weapon rewards spacing and repeated status pressure.
- Its acquisition is late-game, so it is more practical as a respec or route target than an early build starter.
