==Properties==
The '''Katana''' is versatile weapon, offering both superb offensive capability and great utility. When attacking with the Katana, the player will perform a three-part combo, each slash dashing the player forwards with the last attack ending the combo with a spin-slash and entering its cooldown period, which also slows the player for its duration. The first two slashes of the combo, due to their shortened cooldown, allows for a quick switch to other weapons. Furthermore, the dash helps finish off [[Gootraxians]] and facilitates a hasty retreat if needed.

''Please note that most things listed in this section are not objective, and are not the "Correct" way to use them. This section is used to give advice to players who want to learn how to use their tools more efficiently.''
*It is recommended that you only use your final dash as an escape method if you are in combat, as the long cooldown and slowed movement speed make you a very easy-to-attack target to [[Gootraxians]].
** Some examples of this are dashing into the spawn, through a closing door, or the opposite direction of your opponent in a fight.
*The Katana is very useful when it comes to combos, due to the katana's low cooldown from the first two swings. It is very easy to hit someone with the first two swings, then hit them with a much more powerful weapon such as an [[Axe]] or [[Long Pipe]].
**You can also use the dash feature offensively to surprise your opponent.
***When paired with a [[Sledgehammer#Golden|Golden Sledgehammer]], the Golden Katana and Sledgehammer combo deal a whopping 115 damage, although this combo is very hard to hit. This combo is the highest amount of damage you can deal in a public server.
*It is relatively easy for Gootraxians to grab you out of your dash, so it is recommended that you aim your dash slightly to the sides of your opponent and attempt to get them to miss their attempted grab.
*Try to use two slashes and follow up with a generally stunning hit. It is not recommended to use all 3 slashes in combat due to the cooldown slowing you down and leaving you vulnerable.
<!-- *This weapon is ideal for getting the final hit on a Golden or Diamond Slime variant due to its moderately high damage and dash boost, allowing you to jump ahead of the crowd. -->
*By pairing a '''Golden Katana''' and a normal '''Katana''' and alternate between their swings, you can dash up to 4 times before the final dash and wait the longer cooldown.
*If attacking with another player(s), you can use desync to stand in front of the other player's character on your screen to make them push you forwards at running pace while the cooldown is in effect. When done, this can drastically increase weapon effectiveness as it completely removes the walkspeed penalty after the third swing.

The Katana is a weapon featured in Kaiju Paradise. It has the appearance of a samurai's sword with a golden colored grip. Its variant, Golden Katana, sports a soft glow and sparkles.

Properties

The Katana is versatile weapon, offering both superb offensive capability and great utility. When attacking with the Katana, the player will perform a three-part combo, each slash dashing the player forwards with the last attack ending the combo with a spin-slash and entering its cooldown period, which also slows the player for its duration. The first two slashes of the combo, due to their shortened cooldown, allows for a quick switch to other weapons. Furthermore, the dash helps finish off Gootraxians and facilitates a hasty retreat if needed.

Unlike other weapons, the Katana does not incur the Omen Bar nor Stun.

Upon breaking, text at the bottom of the screen will say: "The katana snapped in half."

The Golden Katana is the best weapon in-game for more aggressive play as it has a considerable damage buff, but despite this it has less durability than the normal Katana. Like its non-golden version, it features a three-hit combo, but due to its faster cooldowns for its first two swings, it is slightly more effective. It can also be used in conjunction with a normal Katana, allowing for a damage potential upwards of 100 damage in two slashes from both weapons.

Upon breaking, text at the bottom of the screen will say: "The golden katana snapped in half."

  • The sound that plays when the Katana hits a target:

File:Katana slash.mp3

As of V3.3, the Katana currently has 11 skins.

Obtainment

Like few other weapons, the Katana cannot be bought from Bandit's Shop and can be found around the map instead at 4 distinct locations, being at the end of the bridge in the support room, underneath a stairway in the secret room, on a shelf within the garden, and inside of the testing chamber within the far east wing. At these dedicated spawns, the Katana respawns every 400 seconds (6 minutes and 40 seconds).

The Golden Katana can be randomly obtained per 30 kill streak.


Pros & Cons

Pros:

  • Extremely low cooldown
  • High Durability
  • Has dashing
  • High reach
  • No Omen

Cons:

  • Doesn't have a lot of spawns
  • Takes 6 minutes to respawn
  • Low damage
  • Third swing has a long cooldown
  • No knockback
  • No stun

Trivia

  • The Katana is one of a few weapons that received a remodel.
    • Some skins, such as Cosmic Dust and Toxic Waste still retain its original model.
      • Previously, the golden katana had used its old model, but has since been updated to its new and current one.
  • The first two swings of the Katana and the Nunchucks are tied for having the fastest cooldown of any melee weapon in the game, that being 0.7 seconds.
  • As of V3.1 Hallows Eve Event, the Golden Katana's unique hit sound effect was removed from the weapon and replaced with the default Katana hit sound.
  • Seen in the KE Combat Test, the Katana will be a One-Shot capable weapon if all 3 slashes are hit in a row. However, the Katana will have a much weaker lunge, and it will cost stamina to swing it.
    • The Katana's golden form in KE Combat Test lunges farther, does more damage, and takes less stamina.

Bugs

  • The Katana had a known glitch that when dashing into a shorter object, such as the fences in the Main Hall, the player will fling themselves upwards.
  • The Katana was affected by the anti cheat, causing it to usually miss the second/third attack due to the short cooldown, this has been fixed at the release of V3.1 Hallows Eve Event.
