The Star-Lined Sword is a Katana in Elden Ring. It is part of Shadow of the Erdtree, found in the Cerulean Coast.

The Star-Lined Sword is encrusted with a line of stars made from small pieces of crude glintstone, the weapon of the demi-human swordsmen, who swear on receiving it from their queen to find the truth at the end of the procession of stars. It drops from Demi-Human Queen Marigga on the Cerulean Coast. Roughly two thirds of its damage is physical and one third magic, it builds 45 blood loss, and its highest scaling is Dexterity. Its unique skill, Onze's Line of Stars, is a string of slashes with more reach than the blade that cleaves through groups and can be stopped after any stage. It suits a melee-focused Dexterity and Intelligence character, where Dexterity should reach 80 before Intelligence rises past its requirement.

Repeated inputs allow up to two follow-ups, each hitting harder than the last and each costing more FP. The skill is unique to this weapon and cannot be swapped out.
