It isn't, at least not in this game.

In Dark Souls II, it deals extremely high damage when infused and buffed with any element (most commonly dark) while also having good range, speed and tracking.

In Dark Souls III, it is definitely good, but the fact that it can't be infused or buffed means it loses compared to other katanas on builds that are focused on faith and/or intelligence.
