This Kensei uses a longsword made of ice (Shape Water) to slice through it's foes. Horde Breaker scales well with the level 11 Kensei feature to make any weapon a +3 weapon. Hunter's Mark works great with the monk's many attacks.“
Is this legit? Can you really make a longsword (or ANY weapon!?) with shape water? This would surely add to their Ki Weapons abilities.
…or is this more of a gimmick and not worth it/only worth it until you find a good weapon?
sorry if this is dumb. I am new to the ways of the monk and trying to expand my horizons in the game.
The DM might allow this but it would just be a normal long sword and you'd be giving up your fighting style to get it. That makes it objectively worse than just buying a long sword and taking dueling. Shape water would let you move the sword telekinetically but not attack with it.

I’m not seeing what the conflict is, other than if the DM would allow you to use a sword made of ice without it breaking the first time you hit something.
If you make the longsword your Kensei weapon and make an ice longsword dueling would work with it. So would kensei features like giving it a magical bonus and Horde Breaker.

Ok, that’s kind of what i thought. Now to decide what to do with this setup. www.dndbeyond.com/sheet-pdfs/Actionsparda_124406053.pdf
Any ideas would be welcome. Thank you for your input.
