Katana


 * For the pirate named Katana, see Katana (pirate).

The katana is one of the seventeen sword types available to players in the game. It is produced at iron mongers. It is only usable by subscribers on subscription oceans. The drop pattern for the katana allows for medium to large strikes to create problems for opponents, and it is one of the only swords whose full pattern requires at least 5 breakers to reach the lowest row.

The katana is effective in both one on one swordfights and team swordfights. Multiple strikes sent to an opponent will severely disrupt the board and lead to an easy victory. The pattern is very similar to that of the dadao.
