Cursed Katana
Assigned to:Sadhorizon
A cursed katana is a very strong weapon, that needs to be handled with care.
The Dark Shard
Dark shard is what the katana comes out of. It can be implanted into your arm by using it. The arm it end up inside of depends of the hand you used it in.
If situation calls for it, the shard can be removed as any other arm implant.
The shard can be left by tendrils, bought by Wizard, or found in some specific places
Game Mechanics
Once implanted, you can take your katana out with a HUD button in top left. To hide it safely, you first must satisfy it's hunger by attacking something.
The blade itself deals 15 brute damage and can parry incoming attacks. The attack speed it has against fauna is also greatly increased.
Additionally, and it's the biggest downside of the weapon, dying while having dark shard implanted, removes you from the round permanently, leaving only the shard behind.
Combo Attacks
Combo moves are the soul of this weapon, making it truly shine among other swords. The following list can be shown in-game at any time, by inspecting the katana closely.
