This is really useful on enemies with a lot of health - such as bosses - but if you upgrade the Uchigatana as you play, you could still be using the weapon and getting the benefits of blood loss build up a fair few hours into the game. When hit with a blood loss weapon, enemies will have an invisible metre that fills over time, and if you keep up the pressure and stop the metre from regressing, you can hit an enemy for a lot of damage when it fills. The Uchigatana also has the passive effect of blood loss build up, which is incredibly useful against bosses and enemies that take a fair few hits to take down. The Unsheathe ability can be used as both a heavy and light attack, and between the two you can often break the block of enemies, interrupt them mid-attack (although this can be very tricky and doesn't work on some big enemies), or just finish them off due to the attack's higher damage. This can be done on a controller by holding triangle/Y and then pressing either shoulder button on the side you're holding the sword (so R1/R2 or RB/RT if it is in your right hand). The easiest way to be offensive from the very beginning as the Samurai is by two-handing your starting weapon, the Uchigatana. The Samurai doesn't start with very good defensive capabilities - as the Red Thorn Roundshield only negates 68% physical damage - so your best bet is to get on the offence.
