All of the three available Great Katanas have their own quirks and advantages that make them suitable for different playstyles. The basic version can be infused and have its Ash of War changed to something more useful. The Dragon-Hunter’s Great Katana is best when used against dragons, while Rakshasa’s Great Katana does the most damage and really shines in PVP combat.
In general, I’d have to say that Rakshasa’s variant is the best, especially when paired with Rakshasa’s armor set that boosts attack power significantly. The Ash of War that her Great Katana uses boosts poise by a whole lot, and most enemies and players will not be able to break it.
