Katana



The Katana is a melee weapon that is purchased from the Traveling Merchant for. Considering it can be acquired very early into the game, the Katana can be quite useful as it has very good stats for an early game sword. The Katana has a base 19% critical strike chance, as opposed to the usual 4%, and has autoswing, which makes it extremely useful.

Trivia

 * s are a type of Japanese sword, renowned for their superb craftsmanship, which was developed as a result of the poor quality of the iron that medieval Japanese swordsmiths had access to and therefore still achieving "good" sharpness.
 * The word "katana" is usually written as kanji "刀", but Spike Chunsoft uses katakana name (カタナ) for this item in the Japanese release.
