According to some legends, Katana could only be obtained by the most worthy of the Cuborais. It has a self-sharpening blade, meaning there is one less thing in the world you need to care about.

—Weapon description in the Gallery

The Katana, formerly called the Emperor's Blade, is a Melee weapon introduced in the 6.0.0 update.

Description[]

The Katana is a great weapon that can be used for almost any purpose, sporting good damage, a fast swing speed, great mobility, and good range. It allows you to play very aggressively due to it’s AccelerationAfterKilling attribute, and can help you take down entire groups of enemies so long as you play aggressively and use the speed to it’s fullest extent. Overall, it is a great choice for anyone, especially Knife Party players.

Appearance[]

The weapon has a red Tsuka handle with a navy blue Tsuba handguard on it. The blade is a silvery color and is curved, it also features a navy blue ridge with presumably japanese letters printed close to the collar of the blade. The weapon also features a Nobori, a type of japanese flag-like banner, the banner is colored navy blue with red letters to fit with the Katana itself. There are also two blade sheaths, one for the Katana itself and another with a smaller bladed weapon still in its sheath, presumably a Wakizashi.

Performance[]

The player, holding this weapon from its red handle with both hands, swings it to attack the opponent in close range, dealing them some damage and making them bleed, which means that the opponent temporarily loses health.

Strategy[]

Tips[]

  • This weapon is good for tearing down groups. Swing quickly and move on to the next opponent once your former target has been eliminated.
  • Catch players off-guard and you'll be sure to strike them down soon.
    • If they turn on you, you'll be very vulnerable, so this can be a risky tactic. Ambush a sniper for the best results.
  • This can circle-strafe very well due to its high mobility and margin for error due to its swing speed. If in a melee duel, try to move unpredictably so that your opponent cannot score a good hit.
  • The Katana causes enemies to bleed and lose health/armor for a short amount of time.
  • Pair the Katana with the Berserk Boots, specifically when they are upgraded to the highest level.
    • The low weight/high mobility the weapon provides, combined with the Berserk Boots providing a tremendous speed boost should you be holding a melee weapon allows you to move quickly when holding the Katana. Use this for quick escapes and pursuing fleeing enemies.
  • Use this weapon for moving around the map in realistic brawl.

Counters[]

  • Take out Katana users with long-ranged weapons, specifically your guns, and prevent them from getting close.
    • Make sure to also stay out of range of these users to prevent being hit.
  • Since the Katana inflicts a "Bleed" status, look for armor/health pick-ups on the battlefield should you be hit several times.
  • If locked in a melee duel with a user, try to strafe around the user and score a good blow before the user can retaliate. If you are unarmored, this is especially important, as users can slay you in a single hit.
  • Try to move out of melee range by rocket jumping or using a weapon with high mobility.
  • Fast-firing (or shotguns) weapons easily pick off its users.
    • If the user can't be easily caught by the said weapons, use a weapon with the Slow Downs Target trait to severely cripple their mobility.
    • Use the Reflector (Gadget) to make your opponent take damage as they damage you.
