Description
An exquisite blade of Etrean make, it's said to have put the early Kingdom of Etrea's name on the map.

Description

The Katana is a Medium Weapon that has a base damage of 18 and requires 25 MED to equip. Its damage is increased by 25% (5% when Alloyed) when wearing the Vigil Initiate, Cloak of Winds, or Royal Etrean Guard outfits, due to their innate Talent: Paired Soul.

Additionally, you can upgrade the Katana with the use of a Pluripotent Alloy, turning it into an endgame weapon by increasing its stats and adding a slight purple hue to the blade.

When paired with the Poser's Ring, the damage of its M1s and critical attacks will be suspended until it is sheathed, at which point all of that damage is inflicted at once. This damage cannot exceed 70% of a player's maximum health.

Critical

The user sheathes their katana before dashing forward and slashing horizontally. The crit deals 10% scaled damage and procs bleed. This critical is shared with the Shattered Katana when one handed.

This critical has the M1 tag, allowing it to proc M1-exclusive Talents and Enchantment effects.

Trivia

• Use the Alloyed Katana over the Shattered Katana if you want to keep the normal katana critical when 2 handing.
• Meeting the non-alloyed requirement of MED, the damage is (20)
  • Meeting the alloyed requirement, the damage is (27.9)
• At max MED, the non-alloyed damage is (26.1)
  • At max MED, the alloyed damage is (30.5)
  • At max MED, along with paired soul, The non-Alloyed katana has exactly .6 more damage than the alloyed version. Which is funny
• The Blade Temple Guards on the Isle of Vigils use Katanas.
• It is one of four weapons that comes with a scabbard, the others being the Shattered Katana, Purple cloud, and the Bloodfouler
• Akira carries the Katana on his back while it's not in use (and notably, without a sheath) whereas everyone else carries it on their hip.
  • His katana simply floats behind him. This is canon.
