Katana
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.

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."

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.

Trivia

- 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.
- Some skins, such as Cosmic Dust and Toxic Waste still retain its original model.
- 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.
