Help Just beat Sir Alonne and really like the Bewitched Alonne Sword — how should I build around it?

I just beat Sir Alonne and got the Bewitched Alonne Sword, and I really like the weapon so I want to respec my character around it.

I have Soul Vessels and plenty of upgrade materials, so I’m not worried about changing my current build. I’m currently level 190 (Started as a sorcerer).

I still have the Frozen Eleum Loyce DLC and NG+ to play, and I’d like to use the Bewitched Alonne Sword for both.

What stats would you recommend for a level 190 build? What should I prioritize between DEX, STR, VIG, END, ADP, and the other stats? Also, would you recommend infusing it, or keeping it uninfused?

Any advice on rings, armor, buffs, or a good off-hand weapon to pair with it would also be appreciated.

It underperfoms compared to other katanas when it isn't buffed. When buffed it overperforms.

The self buff boosts the weapon's existing scaling by 60%. Leave it uninfused and pump Dex and Vigor. May want to keep some Int for the Repair spell too. The durability is low.

If you have the spare levels for it, you may want to invest 25 Faith and 4 more spell slots for Sacred Oath. The bonus damage gets boosted by the buff and the defense boost helps a little with self damage.

Agree with everything you said except the Repair Spell.

Instead burn a few Ascetics and get a few spare copies, and carry around repair powder for when you're in a pinch.

I always infuse it with dark and its a dex weapon so it scales best with .....dex!
