This skill does excellent damage to dragons.

DragonHunter's Great Katana Item Description
The DragonHunter's Great Katana's item description reads:
Great katana with spines of gravel stone along its blade wielded by the Ancient DragonMan of the Dragon's Pit.
Has an anti-dragon effect.
Formerly a Dragon Communion warrior, the Ancient DragonMan was once arbiter of those worthy to devour the Dreaded One.
Where to Find the DragonHunter's Great Katana
You'll receive the DragonHunter's Great Katana upon defeating the Ancient DragonMan in the Dragon's Pit dungeon.
This dungeon can be found by descending into a cave in Gravesite Plain by heading southeast of the Pillar Path Site of Grace.
You'll need to reach the end of this dungeon to face off against the Ancient DragonMan.
This should be one of the easier dungeon bosses in the DLC, so just use heavy attacks to break his poise and keep him stunned.
When he falls, you will claim the DragonHunter's Great Katana.
