Katanas

Katanas strike a fine balance among speed, range, and damage while offering exceptional Dexterity scaling. They inflict both Slash and Thrust damage, enabling versatile attack patterns. Notably, Katanas can inflict Bleed, adding a punishing effect for sustained assaults. Their main drawback is low durability, but careful maintenance and strategic usage ensure their reliability. Katanas can also parry when wielded off-hand, supporting a dual-wield style or an aggressive playstyle focused on landing counters and critical hits. They fit a wide variety of builds and remain useful in most combat scenarios.
