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 .

[Tchey]

I thought i missed something like an alternate attack, but no... So, i too hate the katana. I just wanted a "better baseball bate".

[Rampant Razza]

katana/saber of light (to avoid lawsuit lul)- should have normal attack animation, then a 'special' attack which is the lunge. probelm solved

[Nyx Khaos]

definitely suggest hitting esc in the game, clicking on report bugs and issues, there is an option for "other" and you can give them your view on this item. I did. The more the better. Here is hoping they listen. This weapon definitely needs reworked.

[FSHerrante]

For the player it is terrible, but the samurai enemies erase you and your pals with them in close distance.

Yeaaa, I dont like ranged weapons, and as the melee here suxx after normal sword I created my gobfin team and it is just in the display, waiting for rework. Currently I am interested only in the Pals fighting. I have no idea what potato was thinking katana/beam sword was good idea in current state

[Rev-Up]

I agree there should be a rework.

Left mouse button should do a regular swing hit, while the right mouse button should do a dash hit like it does now, but with an improved animation/hitbox.

My thoughts exactly. And maybe nerf the base strength a bit to balance it while making the dash attack do 3X or 5X damage as well to incentivise using it.

Aaand probably while you're at it do a check to make sure that it's doing Katana damage and not Rocket Launcher damage when you quick swap during the animation like it does right now.

The katana has a single positive - moving when encumbered. That's not ideal, especially when the grapple does it better.

I'd be fine if it's current animation was a 'heavy' attack AND it had a 'light' attack. But as it stands, inventory/chest space is more valuable than the katana, even if you've got 1000 unused chests.

I dont think nerf is needed. Ranged weapons have distance on their side anyway, when using melee you are asking to be damaged. Melee in games should be stronger.

[MrZero]

a simple 3 hit combo animation would be cool instead of the dashing animation. making the dash a heavy attack would be better imo.

[WoogieMonsutā]

Agreed. that really should be a "hold-to" style attack, while normal press/click is simple sword-swing or combo.

Reason I say nerf specifically for the katana is because it has the same melee damage as the sword, costs less than the sword to make, and can be obtained way earlier, so if it were to have a basic swing you would either have to nerf the katana and buff the special on katana and beam sword, or buff the normal sword and beam sword.

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

holy hell, you just made my katana worth a damn again. this is genius.

[Raven]

Agreed completely waste of resources thing is absolutely broken
