Please for the love of god change the Katana

[Delv]

the attacking with the katana is so terrible and not even worth using at all. most times you over shoot the target because you cant gauge the distance with it .

[Useless]

this. katana needs a hard reword and the beam sword.

[TheInfernity]

I was happy when I unlocked Katana. Then I did try it out and
1) it did less damage than my crossbow even tho Crossbow should have lower base damage?

and

2) Ye, the attack animation feels bad xd

[Raven]

it really is terrible, I think everyone who agrees and is in this topic should send feedback. I don't know how it has to be reworked, but its borderline useless. Nothing sits still long enough for you to hit it, except the alpaca king which isn't so much as it dodged as its just so big its super hard to miss. Anything else is nearly impossible to hit

[AkaiPandaTV]

The Katana is very bad, i just unlocked it, crafted it and tried to attack and immediate regret wasting resources on it lol. I then came here to look for others with the same idea. It's probably the worst melee weapon in any game i have ever played. It needs at least a 2-3 combo main attack, something like: downward slash from the top right followed by a similar slash from the top left then maybe a upward facing slash from down low. It's damage being slightly lower or similar to crossbow is perfectly fine as it can have very fast strikes in comparison for higher overall dps. I would have more fun using the katana than the crossbow anyway. The attack it has currently would be a good strong attack but it should be a swing into a moving forward motion and it does damage to everything in a line in front of you a short distance with less damage past the first target.

This thing needs love i always facepalm when games get katanas so very wrong.

[Faeve ツ]

i actually cried a bit after forging the Katana, when i saw its Attack... thats just...awful - why would u design it that Way at all??!?! ._.

[Jagernaught]

I was so very excited to get the beam sword. I took one swing and alt+f4'd in frustration. Thas no good.

[Silkeregn]

Make a normal sword

[Tiresias the Blind]

I have to agree. I made a beam sword. I can't hit anything with the beam sword.

[DragonLily90]

100% agree. Its useless.

[KOPOJIb_KPECTOHOCLLEB]

I think it has very niche use and i use it daily. Before that i had to use grapling gun and in cluttered bases with fat Wupmos running around it was hard to even land a shot and then you had to wait for a cd or put 4 of them in your hotbar. Now you can gather resources from your mines and move from one to another with katana charge while overburdened. I know, the weapon itself is iconic for many but it's you won't use melee weapon in any endgame scenario anyway.

[Quba El Brujah]

Im just using the Katana for the free movement when im overloaded xd

Fun Fact: if you attack with the katana and then change to another weapon you make the damage of the weapon you switch on

[Schlumpsha]

I just wished we had a naginata and beam spear, respectively. More reach that way.

[drag092892]

Melee combat in general needs a rework

[ArgentumRattus]

new swords are absolutely freaking useless with that one dumb animation they have where you are far far far more likely to miss your target than hit it because it simply moved

[Darkest King]

The attack wouldn't be so bad if the hitbox was so small and short-lived.

Instead of making it only hit an enemy in front of you at the end of your dash, make it slice everyone you pass by as you dash.

or at least make it lock-on to the target so you can't overshoot them...
