Katanas
The katana is the duellist's answer: quick, vicious against unarmoured flesh, and merciless once your skill outpaces theirs.
What It Does
The Katanas skill governs fast cutting weapons that excel at carving through unarmoured or lightly-armoured targets.
Hidden Effects
Katanas struggle against heavy armour — their cutting damage is blunted by plate. They shine against flesh, not steel.
How XP Works
Trains through combat with a katana equipped against worthwhile opponents.
Best Training Methods
Hunt lightly-armoured bandits and animals where the katana's speed and cutting damage are at their best.
Common Mistakes
Charging heavily-armoured Holy Nation Paladins with a katana. Bring a hacker or heavy weapon for armour; save the katana for soft targets.
